Once, a long time ago, I set out to discover myself and build a life. It was wonderful but tiring. Then, a few years ago, I learned I could completely let go of both those things and just let life live. That sounded like heaven. I never wanted anything more. But how?

I had tasted external freedom, the kind illustrated by women in prize winning literary novels and art house films, women leaning into corporal adventures and spurning hollow morality and making things and discovering their inner whatever, but this always eventually dead-ended, without lasting fulfillment.

So now I was curious about this freedom from one’s own self, and this love that some had called ever-present and vast and somehow endless. by @mariah_langit

Recently I spent time with a friend out in California. She told be she believes her purpose here on earth is, “to spread love.” I sent her the letter below. What do you reckon? I probably should have just let it be.

Dear Eve: So I think you saying you are here “to spread love,” is a cop out, and a way for you to avoid yourself. The world is made of love. There is nothing that is not love, it’s just a matter of distortion. You saying you want “to be loving” is like a wave trying to be wet. Or fire trying to be hot.

Sure, you can go through your life being nice and sweet to everyone. Plenty of women have done that since the beginning of time, and it neutered their life and handed them autoimmune issues. Anything that initiates from “to be xyz” is an artificial movement. Your beingness is effortlessly and infinitely more radiant and beautiful and vibrant than anything you could ever do or make an effort to be.

Source made you as the most precious movement of all. Your fundamental value is that you exist. What does it mean to be you, fearlessly, in every moment of your life, without regard for external opinions, validation, trends? To let the vast intelligence of life and Source move through you, unabated by your mind’s limited view of love? And of course, with compassion, but without sacrificing or draining yourself? In my opinion, your beingness is the truest and most touching movement of love you can bring, and it can look like anything and everything and nothing.

And how? If we listen together we can hear the “terrible beautiful extravagant simplicity of life calling.” We can let the effortlessness of the vast love here in the present moment take the wheel. We can lean into the mystery and float in its sweetness. That’s reality. by @mariah_langit

So I had a heart kundalini movement early last month, and it has not at all been what my mind would expect.

For days there had been a softball sized density in the center of my chest. It mostly felt like a big pimple that wanted to pop, ordinary and biological and a simple expression of nature.

In meditation with my teacher I leaned back into awareness and rested on the heart, as my mind was looping loudly, even more than normal it seemed. I unhooked and unhooked from the mind. Waves of heat started radiating off my entire body. Even the backs of my knees were sweating. It was all I could do to stay in awareness. “Why am I so hot?” I asked. “That’s kundalini from the back of your heart,” she said. It was radiating in streams, along with a sweat mustache. All I could feel was energy, with not much of an emotional signature besides the tenderness of the moment. Life was touching and unraveling, and a piece of the heart was done playing hide and seek with Source.

That night, and in the days following, I didn’t feel bliss. Nor were my relationships particularly harmonious. In fact I fell flat when I tried to communicate an achy boundary and my desire for beingness with friends. Nor was the mind fulfilled or feeling special, as the separate self had done nothing at all to achieve anything, life had done everything. The heart space felt achey, leathery from awakening from numbness, but tender and gentle and radiating wellbeing unconnected to anything in particular. Odd old detritus was floating up and new movements felt awkward to old habits. My voice was bouncing back and forth from awareness to the mind.

Any habitual grip contains within it the seeds of its own liberation, and is just God playing hide and go seek. Without an emotional signature or an accomplishment of practice from the separate self, and with disharmonious external impacts, heart alchemy can be a mind fuck… just the way I like it :) And in the body, it always always feels like the most delicious exhale.

A few days later I sat in my hammock, lit an American Spirit just to smell the tabaco, drank some non alcoholic Negroni-flavored fake champagne, and ate a bunch of ice cream. by @mariah_langit

So I want to use Insta as its original stated intention - to connect with friends. For the past year I’ve been generally aligning my life, and also leaning back into a non-dual practice. It’s been a lot of what I’ve been “doing,” and what entwines my time. It can be a wild thing to talk about, so I’m giving some background color, because it can be, and ideally is, a mind fuck :)

One definition of nonduality is beingness freed from thought, meeting the moment as it unfolds and letting life come underfoot. Beginning to switch over from a regular operating system to reality here has sometimes felt like living out my two biggest nightmares simultaneously - being in the world naked and dying in a plane crash - but in real time, on most facet of my being except the physical. But it’s just letting go into source n life, and mostly it feels like a delicious exhale.

There are many great teachers like Mooji, Eckhart, Byron Katie, and my teacher Kiran :). One of my fav quotes from Adyashanti says, “When emptiness is still, that is eternity, and when it moves, that is love.” Life is in love with what is, with no exceptions, and has a vast intelligence I can’t fathom. Don’t worry, performative spirituality still gives me the ick; I’m just a little fishie trying to stop swimming around looking for the ocean. Or maybe it’s that I’m an ocean wave that’s trying to stop worrying if I’m wet enough. taken in Saint Thomas, US Virgin Islands by @mariah_langit
