Pushing into the paradox of identity, into the two sides of the coin of personality where:
flexibility=strength or flexibility=passivity=weakness
alone=lonely or alone=freedom
retreating into the shell of the comfort zone or being still and knowing I am
pushing the ego identity out into the world for approval and validation or doing in the world in unison with the natural flow
These are some yin or yang that keep reappearing for me.
Of course all definitions fall away – this is known.
“The moment you can say to existence I am perfect as I am, happy as I am, in the east this is called shraddah, trust.”
“When you have accepted yourself you have accepted existence. Compassion arises when you are perfectly grounded in your being – you say, Yes this is the way I am. You have no ideals to fulfill.”
Osho
(Thank you Erin for the Osho!)
It is the mind that divides these things into math equations.
Stepping into my own –
Look at what options can appear – In a 2D world – 3D is mind-blowing.
Polarity in the 3D is something else entirely from a 4D View.
There comes a moment for me when I am so tired of the identity that I MUST plop myself down and sit under tree as long as I must.
Am I sitting under the tree or Am I hanging on through the curves and riding the sharp drops with my hands up?
Every moment is presented to me in the passenger seat; I’m strapped in – in agreement and acceptance. The master playwright is watching from within with a grin – leading me to the edge of breaking out.
Every moment is THE one.
Take the attitude that you will discover the Truth today!
If you say, you are going to take a year off work to search for the Truth, it will take at least a year.
For, like this the mind has just been given a one-year visa to continue indulging in its antics.
Truth is not a gift to be handed out at the end of one year’s seeking.
It is here now.
Say, “Yes, I am fully here, in the heart, for this”.
Be willing ‘to get it’ today.
‘To get it’ means to blow away the mist of falsehood, of ego identity and vain projections through the light of perfect understanding.
With such an attitude, nothing will deter you from your goal.

How many times and in how many ways does one need to hear –
Now, Here Now, I Am?
Lovely post. Lovely reminder. I suppose we just have to keep hearing it until we fully embody it. And for me it feels suddenly that it has something to do with commitment. Ha! Once I fully commit to it there it will be. Having too much fun being a “me”. Or maybe it’s just not the right “time” yet. Such a yin yang paradox.

I appreciate your insight into commitment! Enjoying the paradox with one such as you makes the journey more fun! X!!
Beautiful post and beautiful images.
Thank you, Kimberly!
Ah my lovely sync sister, thanks for leading me back to you, to This, to this I Am feeling, oh the pull of identity, of the mind and the heart, being, doing, flowing, and that theme of trust, shraddah, Truth, how many times do we need to hear this, Now Here I AM, as many times as we need I guess 🙂 Love that wonderful image at the end, I can feel that power!
Your words from Osho led me here today – the syncs do flow in spirals around and up 🙂 I’ve been through years in a few days, lately. Sounds like you too! Missed you in your quiet spell!
Yeah, I visit the dark side every now and then, and sometimes I have trouble climbing back out of the hole, but I’m seeing some light these days. Sounds like we are both flowing again 🙂 Happy Friday…:)
And these words are leading me into a dimensional dive that I am loving…
Blessings on the heads of those who spark off the ever expanding connections back to right now.

“here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)” e.e.c.
thank you for your help in releasing what the mind can hide.
xx-from nobody (in the best way possible).
And this nobody replies in return with the deepest bow that is humanly possible without tipping over or splitting open her pants.
Heart happiness grows exponentially.
Four letter word just to get me along
It’s a difficulty and I’m biting on my tongue and I
I keep stalling, keeping me together
People around gotta find something to say now
Holding back, everyday the same
Don’t wanna be a loner
Listen to me, oh no
I never say anything at all
But with nothing to consider they forget my name (ame, ame, ame)
the nobody little four letter name L*O*V*E.
xxoou.M
had a friend that drink himself to death; before doing so he sat down behind my house drinking well after I stopped and he said I will sit here until i reach enlightenment; I went to bed; he went for another bottle
he went for another bottle and found release. who is sitting behind my house while i sleep? The suffering leave a shadow of their angst behind houses, in corners of the buildings, and on the cobblestones of streets. Our suffering wafts around and around – and tocksin you float in the cloud of souls with your brave, living flesh.
you make me stand taller
Thank you forr sharing this
