The Moment of Change

The early morning hours can free the mind. Before the day has started the mind is in a state of rest. If one is aware of thoughts movement from the subconscious level to the conscious level there can exist a moment of meditation that is the realization of total peace. In the space between minds projection of what has been and what will be is a timeless state of acceptance and joy. It is the vulnerability of the true self, that which has no agenda. The mind is still, it is not reaching for answers or seeking any kind of truth. This is the moment of change, of transformation. The change may be small or it can be life altering it depends on the individual. One must realize that change is not the result of a goal or the application of something learned. It is the realization of freedom from all forms of attachment and identification. Most importantly this freedom must not become a defined idiom of the self such as an "ether" or the "ethereal". Do not associate it with spiritualistic mumbo jumbo. Otherwise one is just seeking self gratification in the illusion of knowing what others of less accomplishment do not. You are only fooling yourself into believing you have some sort of superior consciousness. What you have is an enormous self created fantasy of other worldliness. You are obsessed with you own image as one who knows. Rather one maintains a simplicity of mind that creates space for understanding that is absent the self absorbed.

If one were to realize fully, the moment and the reality of the unknown, then one would see that life takes care of its self. Ones "doing" only destroys. What one does is centered around the promulgation of the self at the expense of others. This is why one maintains a consciousness that realizes the unconditioned, that which is without opinion or conclusion. Then action is out of love and compassion for all of existence. It is quite an amazing level of intelligence. One views the moment to moment existence of life without contempt or judgement. It is the acceptance of what is. That acceptance is the impetus for change that is not a result of the scheming and exploiting self. It is important that one realizes that the image of self is constantly trying to create conformity to self belief. One does not accept diversity because one is insecure. Group conformity is the bastard of evil intent.

If in the moment one sees that there is an alternative direction, one that is the outcome of a state of awareness that transcends the self, then perhaps one will change. That change in direction will of its self create a change in others that is the outcome of acceptance and understanding. It is the actuality of the moment in which ones consciousness realizes the truth of the self and of the whole of existence. Then ones presence is a comfort and light to all.
