What is happening now?

What is happening now?

Jan 12, 2020


What are you seeking...in life?

Happiness?

That's fine but, trust me, having thrown the dice and followed someone else's instruction -- i.e. "do as you're told, Julian" -- I came up short.

It was only when I read these few words "...emptiness is form; form is emptiness..." from the Heart Sutra that my world was thrown asunder.

From there, after nearly a decade of thrashing about, I'm settled with life.

How so?

I've relaxed/accepted the happening of the moment.

Does that mean I've given up on life?

No.

I'm alive (fully) to the aliveness of the moment.

It's exhilarating.

Did I have to do anything?

No.

Nothing.

How could I when the thing I was seeking, I was already.

Lost?

Don't worry.

If you go to your direct experience of the happening of the moment and consider two points, you too might come to realise that everything you've understood of life was and is a complete myth:

1. Everything changes -- i.e. there is only a formless, energetic expression happening right now;

2. The labels are not the forms, feelings and emotions.

Much love ❤️, Ju.
