How can you miss someone
whom you have never met?
How can you long to feel
that which remains untouched?
The heart never forgets what it knows to be true.
Ancient memories,
cellular remembrance,
flowing through tidal waters.
and we swim. by @vajraspeech

We move through the world of objects, grasping for fulfilment.
Yet, we don't realise that all appearances are the dance of our very own awareness -
emerging from the plenitude of our natural state, to be once again devoured by the senses.
Upon recognition of what is always and already the case,
One need not go searching for thrills,
or departing with intoxicants.
Even the sight of a flower blooming,
or the touch of a soft breeze,
is enough to be reminded of the truest wealth imagineable; of life itself. by @vajraspeech

Do not underestimate the power of presence.
The capacity to feel and be felt
is a great support on the path.
To let down the mask of performance
is to see, and be seen.
Total presence within the moment is a matter
of tending to the real; of giving up the act.
Here, the facade is up and the curtain drawn.
This is a feeling which penetrates an entire room,
and all that remains is to laugh at the sheer comedy of the play. by @vajraspeech

Whatever has occurred in your life,
offer it to the moment.
Whatever will yet come to fruition,
offer it the moment.
Whatever is happening right now,
offer it to the moment.
Place all notions of I, me & mine
on the pyre of the present -
consumed by the raging fire of immediacy. by @vajraspeech

What use is a life, if not for experience?
What use is experience, if not for beauty?
The many facets of reality are poured into the heart of awareness itself, through the aperture of the senses.
To refuse this light is to turn away from our own Mother's breast.
Yet, to lean in - to become curious - is to reach toward the deepest nourishment One can imbibe.
The essence of the Essence. by @vajraspeech

Tantra is an unforgiving path - one that asks us to integrate the whole of our shadow, and that of the collective. To transmute all unsavoury expressions of life, and extract the inherent goodness within them.

In the words of Chogyam Trungpa, it is like "licking honey from a razor blade."

As householder practitioners, we cannot keep on transcending the worldly experience. Spiritual bypassing might work for some time but, eventually, what we avoid comes around to bite us on the ass.
Tantra equips us with the tools to meet such situations, through understanding the ways in which life unfolds and how One is weaved into the very threads that bind us.

The tantric path asks that we go to those places which terrify us most so that, ultimately, we become free from both pleasure and pain.

Despite what we may have been told, ignorance is not bliss. It is like the darkness of deep sleep, and if we are to move in the true light of reality we must be prepared to welcome it all. by @vajraspeech

We don't need cessation.
We don't need renunciation.
We need full engagement -
full participation in the here and now.

This precious human life is not a mistake.
Both the nectar and the poison of existence, freely given, is to be relished if we hope for true fulfilment.

It is not enough to chase the bliss as though shadows don't exist, for that which is banished eventually comes to the fore.

If we are to free all beings from the confusion of samsāra, we must be willing to enter its depths. by @vajraspeech

There is no time - past, present or future - in which One is not in a state of wisdom. It is only presumed so.

The natural state is one of Knowing.

All belief in ignorance, defilement and inadequacy is simply a mirage on the plains of the great perfection.

Though it may seem as though we are progressing gradually from a place of delusion to one of attainment, not a single step has been taken.

We have simply opened to the always, and already - the ever present totality of wholeness. by @vajraspeech

what is not meaningful?

when every gesture is a movement of the one,
what is not worth our reverence?

the greatest etiquette
is to always remember the presence of God. by @vajraspeech

a story begins as a thought.
over time, slowly but surely,
it becomes crystallized in the bodily structure.
when information fails to flow, and those forgotten parts stagnate, what was once a fleeting moment becomes stuck in the frozen state of our inhabitance.
an identity is formed.
the entire path of becoming free is about melting;
offering warmth and compassion to this body-mind,
such that the rivers of wisdom may run once more.
when the hardened edges of our preconceptions give way, we open to a fluid reality.
an experience which comes and goes freely.
this is how life takes shape through us. by @vajraspeech

aliveness is ever present.
It is not something which can be fabricated,
nor is it a state we visit from time to time.
aliveness is our natural condition.
beneath the deadening nature of our conceptual formations lies a scintillating field of potentiality;
an ocean of awareness, which simultaneously moves and it always at rest.
aliveness is not to be sought in outer activities
but inner attunement,
upon which all perception is infused with the blissful clarity of One's very own self. by @vajraspeech

So much beauty in creation,
but who has the eyes to see it?
In a world where smartphone screens dominate attention, who will take a moment to relish the magnificence of a landscape?
Distractions abound -
from the obvious evil of the elites,
to the conspiracies spun around them.
Yet this all pales in comparison to the profundity of nature. The sweet simplicity of a life lived in connection with our roots;
with our Source.
All the leaders of this world combined hold no more power than that of a single seed, breaching soil as it germinates.
Life has always been the main player on the field.
Keep your energy close -
mind will do all that it can to divert our allegiance,
but the heart knows where it stands. by @vajraspeech
