ej, haven't you yet seen that all there is - is god?
Oh I know all about the trickster, indeed yes!
Yes it is all illusion.
The old story of the seeker who asks to see god and has his held under
water til he almost drowns - only to be told that his desire must be
as the desire he had for air - this is the story that most typifies
what it takes to see god everywhere.
That is all I see. Whatever happens pain or pleasure is god. Shitheads
and saints are the same to me. The desire arose in this character and
nothing could quench that desire. 'Michael Read' had no choice in the
matter. Poor sap was doomed from the start.
Yes I am god in the flesh. And it is no big deal! Why? Because
everything is god in the flesh. Nothing is left out.
This is the truth - you are god.
Yes even that feeble body, that limited intellect, those desires and
passions, the incredible suffering and indescribable joys - all of
this is god and only god exists.
This is not a belief system or philosophy. It is not something I
dreamed up to pacify my longing. It is not a 'revealation from on
high' that makes me 'His Chosen'. Nor is it something to be turned
into a religion or the path or right practice.
The very hanging on to the concept of a 'you' is the only barrier to
realization. And the term realization is the most sophisticated
oxymoron extant.
Consider this sentence 'I realized god'. Now I ask - "Who realized
what?" When I realized god - zzziiit! I was gone. No Michael Read, no
memory of Michael Read, no history of Michael Read etc etc etc.
What was there was only awareness. Awareness so vast, deep,
tumtultuous and steady at the same time. See? I can't even begin to
describe it without starting to babble poetic silliness!
That you or I or anyone could ever do anything to be this awarenss is
too ludicrous to contemplate.
That the barrier (so to speak) that keeps us in the belief that we are
separate and different from this could drop! How fine and rare that
is!
Not so rare these days though. I hear people of all ages asking a very
simple question. They look around themselves at all they see and
wonder, why?, does any of this exist! And some of them are burning to
know! They won't stop asking until they know. There are so many folk
waking up these days. Old fogeys like us who took 10, 20, 30 or more
years to wake up will be delighted as we witness the birth of a new
people on this land.
But, really, why does anything and everything exist?
It exists for many reasons and for no reason at all. It just does. It
is there. It is a fact. And you certainly know it is a fact when it
hurts the most. Pain focuses the concentration like nothing else can.
That's why those that seek god seem to be in such misery. They feel a
pain of separation from god. God, the source of righteousness and
justice, god, who rewards the just and punishes the bad. God the
source of all creation and all good.
Yet who is it that got tricked into thinking they were separate, if in
truth god is all there is?
As a finite character in an infinite play, I, Michael Read do stand up
and declare that god is all there is and all there is - is god.
Then I am going to a birthday party.
What you do with your time is up to you.
Cheerio - Michael
