Awake... here, there and everywhere

Once one is Awake, in other words, once one knows to be more than just a body going about the antics of human life, things change.

Ignorance is bliss, it has been said and repeated countless times. Or is it?

Knowing that we Are implies having become acquainted with Who we Are as well as with the relieving fact that Home is where we Are Who we Are, Here and Now – Present Presence (as if Presence could be anything but Present ;) ). And knowing that Home is always Here right Now, whenever we choose to stay and Be is simple. Ever so simple. It is so simple that sometimes we get carried away by the habit of living our experiences elsewhere for it is hard to grasp that their sheer complexity could ever fit into the void simplicity of Isness. And it can’t. But as long as we keep on believing that these experiences are necessary for whatever sort of reason, it is impossible to stay and experience, so one goes out to experience and comes back every now and then to savour Being… still…

This is not the same as ignorance as we now know there is Home, we know where it is and we know a part of Who we Are. However we do not know the infinite possibilities of Who we are because we enjoy being entertained with the experiences of who we aren’t, only coming back to the remembrance of Who we Are as a temporary reprieve in-between parties and battles.

I suppose it might have not occured to you to ask yourself whether you consciously choose to continue having experiences somewhere out there and coming back at regular intervals just to “relax” from not Being, or whether you consciously choose to stay Here, Home and experience Life from Here, Now all the time.

There are actually many shades to this. It could be coming back seldom, coming back sometimes, coming back regularly or coming back very often… but it is still coming and going. And it’s fine. It’s a matter of choice.

Then again, knowing that it could be as simple as staying keeps on nagging at the edges of your playful human self, inviting you to really surrender to something you have no idea about and cannot know unless you are living it and only in each moment you are Being it because there is no past reference system, like there is with the normal human programme.

Stated clearly: is it living your experiences out there and coming Home now and then or is it staying Home and experiencing from Here?

There is no good or bad choice. Both serve a purpose. Both have consequences. Which ones are you ready for right now?
