It occurs to me that this world we think is solid and static is actually completely unstable and constantly changing. At no time in my experience can I say that “things stay the same”. Nothing has ever been the same. Nothing has ever remained.
Every direction I look, I find more depth. I can sense the ever changing properties of every aspect of my experience. All facets of this reality are in constant motion. What we as human beings see as “static” is actually moving. It is only due to our limited perspective that things such as mountains, trees, steel, and concrete appear unmoving. Contemplate any of these apparently static “things” and it becomes obvious that they too are in constant motion.
I turn my attention upward and look at the night sky and notice that stars appear static. However, we know they are also in constant motion. The Earth under our feet feels static, but it is actually orbiting the sun at about 67,000 miles per hour and spins on its axis at about 1,000 miles per hour. Read that again. We are traveling around the sun at 67,000 miles per hour and yet it feels like we are completely still. This illusion is strong.
There is one thing that remains stationary, unmoving, completely silent and utterly still.
Can you find it in your experience right now? Can you hear it? It’s always been there. It has never left. It is ancient and always present. It is the ground of all experience. It is the place where everything appears. It has no name, no opinion, no preference. It is pure and simple. It is the fabric that this incredible display is woven into/onto/through/around.
Stop, listen, breathe deeply. Feel. Touch. Hear. Sense. Taste. It’s all just pure right now and right here.
Enjoy ❤
