The Third Dance

I am being struck by E. F. Schumacher's assertion that the beginnings of life, it is need to have a high dependence of outer authority. Then it is needed to move beyond the outer authority and discover one's inner authority. Most people believe that this stage is enlightenment. Third stage is the dance between the first two stages. To get to the third stage, one must go through a great death or humilation of the ego. I don't have to be afraid or paranoid of traditional people or concepts.

Silence

Be Still and Know that I AM God.  This is the mantra for me today.  I desire to live in my anchored self today and be connected to the Unmanifest.  The spaces between my actions of my life, the silences between the words I utter and hear...these are glimpses of the Unmanifest.  God comes hidden in my life.  Grant that I may see You in my life. May I be open to your presence.  Break open my heart.  Break open my body. Break open my mind.  Fill the cracks with your Presence.  I do not seek joy or peace or love or happiness.  I only long for You.  How I feel is secondary.  How I connect....that is primary. 

My Self and Your Self are one.  Grant that I become aware of this now, and then now, and then now.  Grant that I may see my emotions at illuminators to reveal how I am connected or not connected.  My Anchored Self does not fear the emotions, they are gifts and they are neutral.  Grant that my Identity Self not fear the fall.  Falling towards my Anchored Self, which is forever connected in the One, Unmanifested Reality, the Forever God, the Forever Light.
