Rush

There is no rush with anything important. The more important, the less of a rush.

Everything happens in good time: the grass grows, the seasons change, relationships begin and end, and businesses come into full bloom or die. You can try to accelerate some of these but they will just push back and put you in your place.

If things do happen faster, they are not real and robust. Only illusions can be altered.

Authenticity takes the time it takes.

Abandonment

How would you ever grow up if you weren’t abandoned? How would you ever realise your power if you weren’t abused?

How would you ever come home if you hadn’t got lost? How would you know that you know if you didn’t go to the ends of forgetting?


Desertion is divine.

Yes, you need nurturing to grow and come to fruition, but you need challenging, too. You need nourishing, but you need to find your own soul food.

If everything is taken care of, how will you ever venture out of the womb? If you are not given birth, how will you live? If you never leave the nest, how will you see the world? If you are not forsaken along the way, how will you truly know that everything is taken care of?

Yes, you need to be supported, but you need to be left alone to find your own way, discover your dignity, and forge your own spirit. Only in absolute abandonment do you see that you are nothing but supported.

If you are discarded by existence, orphaned by your parents, rejected by your lovers, unfinanced by your business, taken for granted for your talents, and forced to face full responsibility for yourself, you take root in life like you never knew you could.

A certain power comes to you, from within you and from all around you, which is invaluable in the extreme. You have to pay every price for it, giving your heart and soul, your time and your money, your work and your love, your patience and your persistence, and your life and your death, but it is more than worth it.

Growing up is everything you’ve ever dreamed of.

Abandonment is the ultimate gift.

Mastery

I have mastered a few things in my life and none of them mean anything. I am still mastering, more than ever.

Mastery is in the moment. It’s a living thing, a dynamic and ongoing state. It has no stasis. Whatever you achieve falls away immediately, which brings more opportunity for mastery.

You master nothing, which makes you not a master but nothing, too. The more you are nothing, the more mastery you exhibit. There is no you and no master, only mastery.

Each moment is the beginning of the next. There is simply intensifying presence.

Mastering your life is a process of forgetting yourself.

Fire

I am lighting another homely fire here in honour of my father. He is in the winter air this evening and I am firing it up with spirited flames.

I am heating my house with his lingering presence, and it is warming my heart. He is in the timeless ether and I am reaching into it through alchemic elements at this particular time.

As always, I have music in my home and love steaming in my bloodstream. I have patriarchal power in my pen, my father and his father in my growing work, and fiery passion in my words. I have it all here tonight.

I have nothing holding me back because I have learned how to stop doing that. I have healed and moved on, come home to myself and become my own caring parent. I have given birth to and raised myself to full fruition. I am authentically an adult, finally fully a man.

I am moving so fast now that I have stopped moving altogether. Like a supernova, I am standing absolutely still in the twinkling skies. 

I am blazing through the heavens like a shooting star holding a fragment of eternity in my self-consuming spin through the galaxy.

I am lighting up the horizon for those with eyes to see.

Catch a fleeting glimpse and make a wish.

Alignment

If you want to achieve anything, bring yourself into alignment with everything. If you want to be happy, do the same.

If you want to know who you truly are, employ that exact approach. If you want to soar to new heights of effortless attainment and at the same time journey to the centre of your being, while enjoying an ongoing feeling of thrilling fulfillment, come into absolute alignment.

Alignment is intelligence.

Alignment is a surrender of the self. It is a relinquishing of all attempts to control. It is the dissolution of the sense of separation, and is, thus, the reunion with the experience of oneness.

It is a return to the truth. It means getting back into the flow, allowing the stream of life and all existence to move unhindered. It is not ego-bound. 

No wonder it brings achievement. No wonder it is blissful. Now wonder it takes you up as much as it draws you in.

Alignment is a coming home to being nothing. This is how it is everything.

Alignment is alchemy.
