                The Absolute Return to Source

     "Shimmering with the raw energy of everything that has yet to be born,

a return to the source of all potential, humming with the vibrant,

unmanifested energy of creation"

I travelled to the edges of the world,
searching horizons and mountain peaks.
'i' looked for a sign
left in the dust of holy roads.

You were not there.

In despair, 'i' ceased the search,
turning my gaze softly back
into the quiet of my own longing—

I recognised you here, in my heart.

'i' dissolve ~  only I remain.

You and I have spent an entire lifetime on a journey of no miles, gathering heavy maps of ancient, forgotten names, carefully aligning our posture, and editing our prayers, all while gazing out at the vast sky like an exile staring longingly at a native shore. You truly believed you were a seeker, but the path was only ever the restless mind running away from itself.

 The deep return is not a step forward into the distance, but a profound undoing—the backward step that turns the soft light of attention completely around, shifting from looking at the world to looking directly from the silent place where the world appears.

Deep within the centre of your chest, far beneath the frantic traffic of your personal stories, a quiet room opens up. It has no judgment, nor is it impressed; it is simply the pristine, open space of pure being.

To return is to let the holy body sink effortlessly into its own luminous weight, to let the guarded mind reveal itself to self ~ to listen so deeply that the one who listens widens into the silence. What remains is only the sound of the passing wind, and the vast, unnameable, aware, silent presence from where all sound appears and disappears.

Here is only "I" awareness,  free from all its tangled weave of qualifications,

The imagined door was never locked~

The separate self a dream

Love, peace and joy have always been here,

Smile

Allow the corners of our mouths to soften, lift, and widen into a smile  — a quiet, revolutionary celebration of pure presence and the joy of being an 'Aware Being'
