Reflection 280

Welcome!


Blessings

I promise you that the rewards will be proportional to the seriousness and persistence of your Homecoming. But they will be unique to you, and I can’t predict them in any detail. There are four things, however, that I can safely say:

1.    The more you go for the real truth and the less for the rewards, the more rewards you will get.
2.    You will tap new energies. This is because you are breaking the exhausting habit of eccentricity, and instead are tapping the Source of all energies within, at Centre.
3.    You will find yourself approaching the unself-consciousness and spontaneity that you enjoyed as a little child. With this difference: then you simply lived from your Home, now you do so with full awareness. But now, as then, you are Space for the people around you to occupy, and by no means one of them. The freedom, the relief, is awesome. Specially if, like me, you had suffered excruciatingly from shame-facedness.
4.    In effect, you will perceive that you are built for loving. That’s to say that … you are Empty for the loved one. You vanish in favour of – you give your life for – that one. The feeling follows the vision. Your heart opens, your love starts to flow naturally and freely.
Be patient. Don’t demand that these or any other blessings will be apparent at once. (Douglas Harding. Look For Yourself.)
