First the body, then dreams, then time...
now even language was gone.
Awareness is like a damn blackhole.
The more you come closer to it, it starts sucking everything.
Its Like dying... giving up everything until there is nothing left to hold on to.

What we think of as life, is death; what we think of as death, is life.
What we don't think of at all is living unbound.
What is dying or dissolving but opening past all conception of limitation ... and finding that limitation is the dream?
We let thought rest, we know wholeness now, we let the loving live us.
In dying into wholeness, we are born; the death of the reactive dream-self is the birth of pure creativity now; reality loving itself ever more beautifully alive.
There is Only One Living Unbound.
Awareness is Wholeness.

A lot of people come to spiritual practice, in an effort to escape the pain and terror
which is part of being a limited physical being.
Most do not pause to consider, that for a new thing to thoroughly take hold, the old thing
must be allowed to wither away.
This is also known as death.
Spiritual growth and death are one and the same, with but one exception;
spiritual growth tends to be slow and often filled with ecstasy.
Yet the milestons are as much death, as death of the body.
If you want to be truly a great practictioner, do not be afraid to die.
Let the limited self die 100 times per day, to be replaced by the formless, churning
ecstasy, which builds univiverses, and new brain cells in your head.
Do not just let yourself die with internal rhetoric.
When you see a homeless person, do not shy away. Sit with them. Talk with them.
Hold their hand and tell them it will be alright.
This is TRUE yoga. All the meditations and pranayamas and mudras and mantras are
as garbage, if they do not lead to a change in your heart.
When a stranger needs a friend, even if you are shy (hell i'm autistic!) be the first
to say hello. Don't rush to speak, rush to listen.
If you can't listen to a needy soul right in your face, how can you listen to your own
needy soul, that you can't even see clearly?
I am not saying that the practices aren't wonderful, aren't necessary for most; they are.
But you can't fool the sentient power behind both form and formlessness.
We all too often treat the One like garbage; like some toy-power.
Who do you think you are playing games with? You know the answer to that;
you are playing with yourself. In all senses of that phrase.
Treat the One consciousness and the One's primary method of bringing enlightenment -
death of the former state with utmost respect.
And the most humble of you, the most miserable of you, the worst practictioner of all
may sprint ahead, and jump into the waiting arms of Momma and Dadda.
I say this not to shame anyone; or degrade anyone; I say this, to share the most powerful
yoga practice in the all the Universes. Love the One and see the one as the source of all
consciousness and form; do not treat your parents like impersonal forces; do not fear their
blessings.
