"The way is straight and narrow" because it is right in front of your eyes. It is literally the shortest distance that exists between anything. It is direct presence within this moment. SEE IT! BE IT!
2.) When you reach total AWARENESS the spiral vanishes into the totality of the dichotomy and you see that all "opposites" are actually just extremes of the same REALITY. THAT is what we are.
1.) Many years ago after an intense spiritual experience that shifted my consciousness, a dear friend told me that I had "Come full circle". Since then I have realized that it isn't a circle. It is a spiral & we can move upward or downward depending on our level of self awareness.
If you feel like the things that I say are impossible. You are unable to see what is right in front of you because you lack SUBTLETY of mind. You cultivate subtle mind with subtle breathing. You allow your breathing to become so subtle that you can't hear it & STILLNESS ensues in this very moment.
Look within and know the knower. Awareness brighter than a star. Look within and see the WHOLE MIND. It is exactly where YOU are!
Don't be enraptured by mindless repetition. Every moment is novel. Don't live and strive for competition. Every home is a hovel. Don't be subsumed by the imagination. You are it's creator.
A disparit mind seeking for parity in the outer world is like a person seeking wealth in the world believing themselves to be poor when in reality their house is made entirely of GOLD. SEE IT!
You are your WHOLE mind not JUST the thoughts, emotions, and memories. They are just the content. STOP believing that you are the content and you will see that you are it's CREATOR. This is the reality of DIRECT PRESENCE. THIS IS PARITY! ASTONISHING!
Stop living in the shade of "others." You are your own Light. "Other" doesn't exist in your mind. You are just imagining things. Be PRESENT within your OWN light and you will KNOW that you are that LIGHT of awareness.
When the bubble you have constructed around your heart finally pops everything you thought you were were becomes a tiny speck in the centerless, borderless vastness of what you REALLY are. SEE IT!
