Being a light to ourselves is the path. This space is dedicated to awakening to the light.

You are either here because you felt a calling to come, or because the calling was unfelt, but was there, nevertheless. You will be changed if you stay, but also if you leave right now. Change is taking place all the time: in your cells and in your mind. In other words, on your surface. Your depth is eternal, non-changing: awake, awakening, or dormant. Your mind maybe still or chattering, but your essence is the same. You may want to awaken, or you may not. Your wants are surface level ripples in any case. 

Everything I share with you is borrowed from my experiences. I am offering nothing that is mine: what is mine is already yours, perhaps you just don’t know it yet. I retain the bluntness of my words from my dormant times and this will either appeal to you, or frustrate you. Both maybe equally helpful.  If you have come here for comforting words, you will mostly not find them, and not finding what you expect is the greatest lesson. 

I do not mind whether you stay or go, join me in silence and conversation, or not. This is not arrogance, it is simply the recognition that all events are outside my control. You are welcome wholeheartedly. I welcome all wholeheartedly. In fact, this is all I can share with you through my borrowed experiences and borrowed words: the path to welcome all wholeheartedly.

Seriously unserious.
