Hi Vineeto and Hunterad,
Wow what an incredible description. When I read this it was the word spontaneously that caught my attention. I read your response to Chrono just before and the quote you provided from Richard explains this spontaneous felicity and innocuity every moment of one’s life :
The purity of life emerges from the perfection that wells up constantly due to an immense stillness which is utterly immense in its scope and magnitude. This stillness of infinitude is that something which is precious. It is the life-giving foundation of all that is apparent. This stillness happens as me. This stillness is my essential disposition, for it is the principle character, the intrinsic basis of everything. It is this universe at its genesis. It is not, as it might commonly be supposed, at the centre of everything … there is no centre here. This stillness, which is everywhere all at once, is the be all and end all of life itself. I am the universe experiencing itself as a sensate, reflective human being
Certainly not just a difference in degree haha! I have experienced recently that there is an unbelievable perfection and purity, and it happens without any input from ‘me’, it is here already. When ‘I’ get out of the way then it is seen that the entire world is like this and it is all happening already, of it’s own accord.
Which explains the below a little more :
It’s because that perfection and purity has got nothing to do with ‘me’, ‘I’ can only spoil it by getting involved. ‘I’ allow this perfection and purity - which is already here - by getting out of the way. ‘I’ am not needed at all to maintain or generate it, and this is perhaps the thing that can take so long for ‘me’ to fully comprehend and accept.
That time and time again ‘I’ get involved and then notice when looking back that there is now a lack of perfection and purity… So then this other sweet possibility hoves into view - could it be that ‘I’ am only standing in the way of it.
