You see this goblet?” asks Achaan Chaa, the Thai meditation master. “For me this glass is already broken. I enjoy it; I drink out of it. It holds my water admirably, sometimes even reflecting the sun in beautiful patterns. If I should tap it, it has a lovely ring to it. But when I put this glass on the shelf and the wind knocks it over or my elbow brushes it off the table and it falls to the ground and shatters, I say, ‘Of course.’ When I understand that the glass is already broken, every moment with it is precious.”

Spirit is relationship. Love is God alive. A wind that never ceases as all creation keeps respirating. Breathing you in, Praising.

Find for me the molecular edge where water, stone, air, leaf, begins and ends. A microscope is all it takes to see the dance of particles connecting these. Intermingling atomic qualities that we mistook for boundaries. Separation is illusion. Live in the paradox of individualism that hums a harmony ecstatic to be distinct as the infinite sum of All. This Grace that bursted into being from a Trio of One singing is ever rushing into an embrace with the particles of our particulars. No need for reuniting what was never sliced or severed. Even the knife’s blade held us together, from the navel to the Mother.

“For unless one is able to live fully in the present, the future is a hoax. There is no point whatever in making plans for a future which you will never be able to enjoy. When your plans mature, you will still be living for some other future beyond. You will never, never be able to sit back with full contentment and say, “Now, I’ve arrived!” Your entire education has deprived you of this capacity because it was preparing you for the future, instead of showing you how to be alive now.”

“Life is like music for its own sake. We are living in an eternal now, and when we listen to music we are not listening to the past, we are not listening to the future, we are listening to an expanded present.”

Irrelevant Wanting

The Conditioned Mind creates a view based in fulfilling irrelevant wanting. It’s difficult to break free of this because irrelevant wanting is reinforced daily. A mind aware of this is aware of awareness… To me, life struggles have nothing to do with life, it’s the view based in irrelevant wanting that causes struggles; this view is controlled by the Conditioned Mind. When irrelevant wanting is…
