Dropping The Practice

We all practise something – it’s our way of life. When we drop whatever we practise, in that moment we are free. We’re taking a break, a moment’s holiday, with nothing happening. Meditation is actually about dropping the meditation. Meditation is the method to focus, become still and not be distracted. But ‘we’ are still aware of ‘doing’ it, so there is a duality present.

Dropping the experiencing and letting be is the resolution of pure consciousness.
Resolution: from Latin resolutio(n-), from resolvere ‘to loosen, release’.

If we are pure consciousness and there is nothing else, that is non-duality, supreme reality, heaven. Heaven is the pure state of mind which is our essence. It’s that simple. We’ve just been persuaded to believe there’s something more splendiferous, but we can’t live on hope. Pure consciousness is clarity, which means divine splendour; it’s right here, right now. Wherever we are, heaven is, but we fear, and are very suspicious. 🙂

Believing in something more than pure consciousness, humanity creates all sorts of beautiful stories, artworks, buildings and rituals to attract the tourists. This makes us needy, chasing after illusions. The more complex something is, the easier it is to believe  it. Watch out, there’s a lot of it about! 🙂
