What does ‘age’ mean in a reality that is only ever existing now; that is this present moment only?

Our minds are terrified by the simplicity of life

(by this moment as it is).

But there is no need to be afraid.

In this moment, there is so much aliveness in our bodies that is deeply longing for a simple "ok."

Just a simple "ok."

You never actually blamed anyone or yourself.

It was just guilt-ridden thoughts that you innocently fell prey to.

You believed them reflexively instead of taking the closer look on reality.

Your/the truth of this alive, present moment got obscured.

You are the unconditional acknowledgment and the unconditionally acknowledged.

Without any inner effort at all.

Trying to control your spontaneity, creativity or humor is nothing more than standing in your own way

When you are trying to be somehow, you are obscuring your present being, because you are grasping for something, instead of recognizing the truth

The impulse to control yourself is blocking you

Orienting towards everything that is obviously there right now.

The gift of Love is feeling whatever you are feeling in this moment without having to act. It is all done for You.

On the Path to NoWHere @thomaswe.bsky.social · 1d

Let this moment pass without any inner resistance.

It’s not your thoughts that make up your present focus
It’s not your thoughts that constitute your real compassion
It’s not your thoughts that form your bodily intuition
It’s not your thoughts that create your actual impressions
It’s not your thoughts that shape your genuine affection

Who is it?

On the Path to NoWHere @thomaswe.bsky.social · 1d

Only your mind has a problem with the absence of control; the voice that seem to be you (the thoughts).

But you are not your thoughts, trying to control reality.
You are one with everything that may be –undifferentiated.

On the Path to NoWHere @thomaswe.bsky.social · 1d

Non-excluding acceptance of whatever is.
Not distinguishing inside from outside.
One boundless space of embrace.

Emotional resilience is not an attribute; it’s an attitude.

It's an attitute to the reality of this moment (to whatever is now).

True meditation is simply pure, endless amazement about the present experience itself.

Only thoughts are trying to hold on to it.

True empathy is to look at your sensations to see them, not to change them. It is pure looking

When there is pure looking, pure being becomes possible on the other side, because nothing wants to change you now anymore

What I mean is simply this moment as it is without any fantasy of changing it

We slide into the next Netflix series because we don’t know that it’s ok to be free.

It's the sensations in the body that the mind wants to get away from when it tries to get away from this moment as it is.

There’s a continuous, fearful dissatisfaction with undeniability, inevitability and inescapability of the present experience.

For no good reason, other than aversion.

What is the only thing that you can know for sure right now, without imagining anything?

You cannot be curious about reality when you are holding any mental expectations of it.

Look what is here. Look what is now.

The voice, which is incessantly trying to save you through endless thoughts, is itself a construct of the mind and more often than not is just annoying you, frightening you and distracting you from life; from this moment as it truly is right now.

That voice is not You. Self-talk is an illusion.

If you want to be real

in this moment,

stop hesitating.

On the Path to NoWHere @thomaswe.bsky.social · 2d

All your objects of desire (your thoughts) are here right now too, in this moment (as thoughts).

But what is truly here right now –what is actually happening– is something else.

Know what is true, my love.

No matter how this present moment may ever feel...
It's alright. It's alright. It's alright.

When we stop blaming ourself for what has happened through our thoughts, feelings and actions, nor deny that it has happened through our thoughts, feelings and actions, we learn and change –peacefully

Rectifying is just as impossible as undoing what has happened

What isn't possible isn't necessary

On the Path to NoWHere @thomaswe.bsky.social · 2d

WHATEVER this moment is bringing you

right now,

IS what LIBERATION is.
