Unraveling Through Meditation

Meditation is simply unraveling.

The fabric of our minds – thought - dissolves naturally.

Barriers fall when we become quiet.

That is our task, our only job

To allow everything to settle

To allow the events of our lives to unwind within.

It is a seemingly endless and therefore hopeless task

But in reality we naturally flow toward resolution -- toward peace.

There are many ways to view this process.

One is physics entropy: as the universe runs down, so do our minds empty.

We will know peace through waiting

And there are no right or wrong answers, only process.

The Way lies within each of us

In the resolution of confusions, fears, anger, loneliness.

The busy noise from within will subside when we are still.

There is a silence within, but we cannot hear it.

Listen for it. You will know it when you hear it.

If you wish, you may argue with any idea.

But just listen and you will hear that you are not arguing.

The argument argues: you are only an observer.

You do not fight nor resist.

Only the fight fights, and the resistance resists.

When you accept these forces as apart from yourself

Not acting in your best interest.

You may watch your thoughts as we watch a child -

Accepting and loving the helpless blundering

That is as ancient as humanity,

As basic as the fall of mankind

Yet resolution, forgiveness, and love

Are as natural as the wind and the rain and moonlight.

Be still and allow all things to be exactly as they are.

It is through acceptance that the soul is what remains

When the illusions are allowed to dissolve of their own accord.

Only the truth will remain

Inexpressibly beautiful

Hopeless to communicate

Ecstasy to be trusted

Fellows to be loved

No explanations to be offered

In simple reality.
