TODAY, 4 hours from now… from 6pm — 9pm UTC, I’m co-hosting a dance / vibe / chillaxation session called The Astonishing Miracle of Love. This is intended as a gift, open to all beings. Feel free to invite friends and drop in for any amount of time to dance, or just chillax in a space of unconditional love and good vibes. This is the Zoom link for the event. You can also join The Astonishing Miracle of Existence and Ouroboros Soul Family communities on Telegram to tune in with the tribe.
My homie Trevor West left a rich comment on my recent post, It’s All Real:
Love this :)
Oftentimes this tendency with non-dualist belief does indeed lead to a rejection or minimization of the intensity of experience. And yet, it does seem paradoxical that things seem simultaneously illusory and yet so real; pain especially is something undeniable... And yet there have been monks who burned themselves alive without moving an inch. The layers cascade and cascade ever downwards: Love lights the way <3
Here is a slightly edited version of my response to Trevor, which I felt would be worth sharing with all of you:
God Making Love With God From Infinite Angles Simultaneously
❤️❤️ Thanks for the rich share, brother Trev.
Yes, I can understand why pointers like "illusion" and "unreal" are so prevalent in the non-dual community.
It can be helpful to negate everyday experience for a while to begin discovering the underlying context: The being-ness / awareness / God-Light that it's all made of.
And as you do this, things can start to seem quite illusory, translucent, wavy, dream-like...
And it can be tempting to then write the world off as a mere parlor trick or apparition.
Then you have a child or drink ayahuasca a few times or something like that and your heart gets cracked open to a new depth…
And you freshly realize the absolute intimacy, viscerality, and intensity of the world…
And it then feels 'off' to reduce it all to "illusion."
I repeatedly return to "Both, neither, and far beyond either."
Is the world real or unreal?
Both, neither, and far beyond either.
Words like "real" and "illusion" seem to gradually lose meaning as you start to see each moment as nothing other than God presencing with God in whatever way God is presently expressing God...
This goes way beyond real or unreal...
It's Absolute Supreme Divinity literally and viscerally being with itself, melting into itself, making love with itself, in each moment.
And not just for you. For everyone. At all times and places.
God making Love with God from infinite angles simultaneously.
God *being* infinite living, shape-shifting, intermelding, vibratory art-works simultaneously.
*Being* the weeping widow, *being* the monk who masters physical pain, *being* the soldier shoving a bayonet through the heart of an innocent child, *being* the Buddha realizing his God Nature under that bodhi tree.
It's so far beyond *anything* conceivable.
And yet it's so simple.
It's right here.
It’s you taking a sip of cool water as the violet sun sets over a meadow of blossoming orchids.
This is it.
We are it.
The One Dance.
The One Exquisitely Many-Layered Poem.
The Great Perfection.
Love,
JB
