Astounding isn't it? How we cling to that which we want to get rid of most
(our ideas of what is). Astounding! How in our search for everything, we
fear the ultimate demise of 'me'. Masters talk about the death of self and
being reborn. It seems that is usually the most promulgated part of the
teaching. People forget, or leave out (maybe they just stopped reading at
that point), that it always comes down to being both. Both born
and unborn. Sure we change in the process of discovery and that
change can seem like death to 'little-me'  but really, what is the Heart of God without the
Heart of who you are?

Being always away you lose contact with living and the full expression of
light-in-extension. Being only in your own solidified and separate being is
lonely. We allow what is and then we allow it to shine through the unique
lens of our hearts. Only then are we One. In our unique expression,
realizing 'One' and the true meaning of being in-love.

The irony of realization is that we have so many ideas about what it is like
to realize something. Realization can never be an idea. It is the thing
itself, which never EVER matches our idea of it. What fun would that be!?
