RE:
oh David Thank You sooo much for writing this....
Yesterday I felt writing you several times and expressing what's unfolding here, but no words came... It's like there's a pull from That to express Itself and no words to put it, no words to describe what's going on...
Since we talked the other day, the Stillness is even deeper, it's a Pure Delight. Questions, thoughts arise and as looked at, they are seen for what they are, distraction. It makes no sense at all for the ego, for the mind to not pay attention to them, to not believe them, to not give power to them, to not search for answer... and it totally feels that those answers are only in the Stillness! For there, everything just vanishes, and nothing, absolutely nothing is needed!
Fear arises and is felt, allowed, met and it disappears. Sometimes it seems like the body is shaking, and in this total allowance, there is bliss. Fear, the word, is left, and there is just the experience of an energy and an openess to it.
It seems that memory is going too. It's difficult to put into words, but it feels like there is no past anymore. Actually there hasn't been any past, it feels. There isn't any certainty that yesterday was, that the image in the mind that says: "Yes there was a yesterday!!" seems empty, meaningless. Why bother when Everything is Here, Now! It seems that some images come, but there are more a story, than 'my' story, and always a potential to go even deeper, to deepen into What Is and forgive all the images.
It feels that the body is moving, doing its things, and I watch. I can see some stronger grip of identification, but they are seen, and don't have that much power. It feels like Life is happening in me. I am not the doer of This.
There is no need for anything to be different for everything is absolutely as it is supposed to be. There is no need to know what's next for Now, is all there is, full and complete with Being. There's a feeling that maybe there will never be any inspiration anymore for anything because This is so full that nothing else is needed! Or maybe is it that it wasn't true Inspiration in past experiences and that there was always a desire to get something out of everything and that gone, there is room for only True Inspiration.
There's a feeling of beginning, that everything is fresh and new. And a feeling that everything as this character knew it is ending.
There is little words coming from this mouth, for mostly, there is nothing to say. Just This is more than enough. Even when there seems to be others, it feels that all the energy here is inward, there is no interest about what's going on on the screen, so often it seems like not hearing what is said or talked about if it's not specifically addressed to me. Before that could happen, but it was more of a doing, now.... it is! and therefore totally effortless!
It's like this could go on forever, and in the same time like no words will be able to convert fully This. But This is beyond words...
I am so so so grateful for Everything.. .
Love You Forever!
Armelle
