Possibility, Validation & Beingness

If you are to study, spirituality or anything, do so to know of the possibility. When you know it is possible, when you are not merely possible, but actual, study for validation. When you are satisfied being verified, Be.
Do not concern yourself with studying, validating, nor even sinning in your arrival at you. Each step has purpose in the moment, or you would not have stepped that step. Do not second guess yourself, or the twists and turns on your path to you. You are finding your legs, so to speak. Being born anew, is a new experience. Each stumble or fall has purpose, and is positive, when you accept that there is no wrong or right, negative or positive. Your journey, like you, like God, just are. I Am That I Am.
Before my event during my three year self-sequestration, I sought, studied and tried. I did many things to quell the splinter in my mind, but like all who have arrived at their peaceful selves, my efforts produced nothing more than a frustrated longing.
Since my event during my self-imposed prison, no, I did not imprison myself for the sake of imprisonment, nor for enlightenment. I did so, as I had nothing more. I had given up, much like Buddha did when he obtained nothing from all the gurus he studied under, and practiced thus forth. He merely had nothing more, so, he sat under a tree. In Buddha’s sitting, or in my sequestration in my room, ahh, there was what we sought. It, or I, or you is always in the last place we seek.
A buddha, is not Buddha by buddhaing. A guru is not a guru from guruing. A savior does not save from saving, and you cannot Be while being. You simply are. In other words, I Am, that I am.
In my younger days, I knew I was not at peace and I knew there must be more, or less. So, I did what all do - try and struggle to find enlightenment. I meditated, I read of the achievements and wisdoms of others, and I gained only that I was possible.
After my satori, my kenshō, bodhi, prajñā or Buddhahood, my enlightenment, my “I Am” moment, or all the other labels, I found others who experienced what I experienced. It was in this discovery that I knew my rebirthing event was not only a possibility, but had occurred. However, for me and many others, the next step was validation; a proving to ourselves through other’s experiences, that we had indeed, leapt a great distance. This is the same desire as wanting to be enlightened, or being to Be. There is only Being, without “doing” beingness. You see, in doingness, you are not Being, but doing. So, what do you do? There is a time for doingness, and a time for beingness. If you are to do, sit under a tree, and just Be.
Alan Watts is one person, of several, who I discovered after my event, my satori. While his speaking validated the furtherment of my enlightening, he too says what I, and maybe you have realized, that nothing else is needed, just us, being us, with nothing more. Kind of gives a whole new perspective about not needing a fig leaf to hide our nakedness.
In this, I want to share this audio/video, “You Must Go It Alone.” (Just click the link to the left to listen.)
I hope both my words, and Alan Watts’, help. You are possible. You Are.

Living A Greater Perspective
Most know there is a higher presence, greater in perspective, compassion, and knowingness than mere humans exhibit. Be that presence alien, interdimensional, the earth, universe, or God.
