If I may...

And so, Darlene, I'm with you, too! But, just to be clear, you did give it a name! It took 18 letters. You said, "the deepest part of me." And I think that's great. Yes! But the reason it works to trust into the deepest part of yourself is because the you that you are is the specific and unique self-expression of the Totality, like a wave on the ocean. And that's what we've been saying for ages. You, as the wave, as a specific mind or individuality, are your own closest contact point with the wisdom of the ocean. When you sink into the deepest part of you, you are not sinking into your own private individuality only. You are sensing into the depths of the ocean. You as specific individuality, therefore, are your own personal conduit into the Ocean of Knowing via the inner portal of that which feels most right to you.

But the reason it works is because we are all connected, and we are all connected because there is a oneness, a Unity, an Omnipresence presencing itself infinitely. And therefore, luckily, when anyone does truly do that which feels most right to them, does that which the deepest part of them is encouraging them to do, not just the acting out of their conditioning, then, unbeknownst to them, perhaps, that one is being congruent with the Whole, the ocean part, which is the rest of you and the totality of everyone!

And so, you do that which feels most right to you and things work out for the best for yourself and others, plus you find yourself coming up with a whole new self definition or self awareness, something in the realm of, like you said: It is what IT is. But then, additionally, you are what you are because it is what it is. In other words, you are IT. You are That. Tat Twam Asi. You exist because the Totality is erupting through you as you. That's the essential insight in yoga head-tripping. You are That. I am That. All this is That, and that's that.

I hope this isn't feeding into your pet peeve.

Hi Kit,

Yes, I know what you mean. That's pretty much why, when I use words, I mostly use the word Infinity. It's difficult to conceptualize infinity, which helps keep conceptualizations to a minimum, which helps keep the tendency to think you've got it all figured out once you've given it a name at bay. Plus, using the word Infinity doesn't push the God button quite as readily for most people. Plus, it's inclusive, rather than exclusive. Though, I do capitalize the word, partly because it is a name, but also because for me it's a name that is referring to something truly awesome: GOD! And yet, on the other hand, once you sorta know what you're talking about, once you've caught a glimpse of the moon that all the fingers are pointing at, then it really doesn't matter what you or other people call it. You know we're all talking about the same thing. There's nothing else to be talking about. Christ Consciousness, Krishna Consciousness, Buddha Mind, it's all the same. These are terms that various peoples at various times have used to try to talk to one another about something they find themselves experiencing and wondering about, something they perceive and intuit to be their Source. I mean, even with the word moon, you know, some people would insist it's luna, some would insist it's lune, some would insist something else, and yet they are just different words for the very same Event.


hellooooooo!
