The price we pay for our definitions is our PEACE…

The Joy of Embracing Everything (meditation picture quote)

That in which Time appears is ITSELF not touched by Time
January 20, 2014
It’s the same ONE: That which sees these words as I write them on my computer screen is the same one, as YOU, that is now reading them. There’s no difference.
That which was aware of Jesus’s presence “2000 years ago” is also aware of yours right now. Again, no difference. IT is not in time or space. Everything else, that which is known, is. Whatever is before time will still be here at the end of time… IT is never touched by time.

The Story-less Now IS Peace
January 17, 2014
Are you able to see that the present moment, right now, is story-less? Look around you…. is anything telling a story? Nothing is telling a story. Mind comes in as overlay, but if you just see things as they are, no story, no problem (as to have a problem, requires a story, and the more detailed, the better!).
Stay as the silent witness and all is peaceful and well, despite how things may appear in the mind’s fabricated story of the inherently story-less now.

Because we think Thoughts are Valuable, we miss the Invaluable

Whatever you possess possesses you (meditation picture quote)

p.s. And not just material objects, but thoughts, emotions, opinions, ideas, beliefs, perceptions, sounds, etc.
Peace/Freedom are seen to already be the case as soon as all attachments dissolve. -Michael
It’s Resistance, not the Present Moment, that causes Suffering

LIFE is whatever is happening, but it’s never been YOU
January 11, 2014
LIFE is whatever is happening. And WHAT IS is never static, always changing. So Life and CHANGE are two words for the same thing; they are synonyms. Which is why nothing here is TRUE. That means by process of elimination, the only thing that is TRUE is YOU. But if you look to the mind to explain this, YOU are where? That’s right, in a world of CHANGE.
Do you see? TRUTH has no means of verification. None. It simply IS. That is why the search for it fails so beautifully miserably. TRUTH is searching for itself in world that does not truly exist, because it is made out of change. And yet, the search may continue for as long as it continues… until it doesn’t.

Comment from facebook:
Mary Edith: “I think I am failing in my search for happiness. But I can’t seem to find a solution.”
Michael: Beautiful Mary! The peace is staring you in the face when you fearlessly let all your hopes, dreams, and anything else you think you know or don’t know die. You “win” the moment you give it up, surrender, and admit total defeat… only then are you able to R.I.P.
