BLSS

"One thing you can always be certain of
is that everything passes.
The nature of this world is change.
 
So no matter what you are feeling now,
what you are thinking now,
if you allow it to move through, it will pass.
 
Underneath all of this movement is peace; is love.
Peace is the backdrop of everything.
 
So allow your emotions & thoughts to move through,
and they will pass and the peace that is this moment
will be uncovered.
 
Just like a fish darting by in the sea
stirs up the sand and for a minute, you can’t see clearly,
the mind can create all sorts of unhappiness.
 
But if you rest and allow it to pass through,
it will clear again.
 
Telling yourself the thoughts are illusory
is usually just separating yourself from what is.
Let it be personal and real if that is your experience.
It is not about making anything different than it is,
it is just allowing what is to be and let it move.
 
But what happens is we grab hold of things.
We grab hold of a thought or a feeling
and say ‘this is important’
and then we are in conflict.
 
Because the nature of it is change, is to pass.
And we don't let it pass, we hold on,
Then there is stress, there is conflict,
there is unhappiness.
And we create so much destruction
in that unhappiness for ourselves and others.
 
Most people are like that.
They are carrying around so many things.
Holding on to so much that they are always
in attack mode.  Always ready to defend
what they desperately hold on to.
 
But if you just allow it to be,
allow the thoughts and emotions to move through,
they will pass and there will be peace again.
 
Awareness is much more simple than you think.
