Reflections on the Eternal
Totality Does Not Know the Absence of Anything
A Soul is the wave. Totality is the ocean. The ocean is Everything and does not know the absence of anything. The ego is a drop of water in the Ocean. A fused drop of identified Consciousness. A drop of a Soul at a moment in time and space. That confuses itself to be the One who makes things happen. At best it comes to realize that it is a part of the Soul, a wave of the Ocean. And sometimes, it happens that the ego relaxes entirely into and as the Soul. It is integrated. A form of Realization. This is Soul-centered Being, Living, Existing.

If you are interested in attending tomorrow’s New Year’s Day Satsang, be sure to RSVP asap. I can't think of a better way to start the new year than by moving out of separate identification and suffering, and stepping into Timelessness, Spaciousness, and the Eternal. This public meeting will be a mix of sincere, dedicated sangha members and students, and newcomers attending for the first time.
