The garment of being, the event of now, the void, the serpent, sex, and dream

***

Oh, how we hide in things behind our lostness. How invisible we really are- we who take on the garment of being, as if it were our own.

Every event is now. Even memory, which we think is the recollection of what was, is now. Such that we cannot deduce that there was ever anything but now. Now is. Memory is of Now. Only belief creates the continuum of time. There is no past. There is only now.

In all that we do, and all that we think, and all that we desire, we are simply trying to fill a void that should not be filled. We avoid the void, from which comes all creativity and peace if only we would sit with it a while.

She is a He with the Serpent of sex.

The manifest is the effect; whatever is going on is not what is going on; it is not what you are ‘doing’ but what you have already done.

From dream: If you must be white, be like a white sheet which lies behind colored cloths, and when exposed increases all existence with its brilliance.

Most people are stuck and terrified and uncreative and will do or say anything to condemn or disparage a new way of seeing or doing.
