One with Being
The Sacred Art of Rest
Many confuse the concept of doing and being. Being does not mean inaction. Being sprouts from a soil rooted in heightened awareness. In this place, one realizes you are the awareness. You are the witness. In this layer of realization, you can rest.
To rest in this place of deep equanimity, one must not be triggered by what is arising. There are also layers of realization where, purely by being, resting in the awareness that you are, you can see the divine sacred dance unfolding right in front of you. All phenomena arising. All phenomena sharing the same essence as the divine blanket of awareness itself. From this space, separateness dissolves.
When you learn how to be, there is nothing left to do because you rest in awareness. You rest in the allowance of divine action to move through you.
This is not complacency. Being is not laziness. Being is not for the faint of heart. Rather, it is the opposite. To do so much, to open your awareness so vast, that you are finally given permission to rest. It is an utter sacred union, dance, love, devotion, with the is-ness of the true nature of our reality.
In prayer, it’s succumbing. It’s surrendering. Not in any form of inaction. Rather, in divine union, in trust that enlightened intention moves through you, acts through you, in just the right time, cadence, and way.
May you be so blessed. To allow yourself to be.
