If it knew anything else for even a micro second, it would stop being the sun
It would stop shining
The solar system would collapse
The planets rely on the sun for one thing:
to only know himself
To only know the sun
The planets don’t take it personally that the sun doesn’t know them directly
The planets know the sun can’t know them and also be the sun, because it is the sun’s singular intense focus and knowledge of itself that illuminates the planets
The greatest love comes from the greatest detachment
The sun can only know the planets to the degree the planets know themselves.
The sun knows that is the original space where we all meet.
The sun knows that if it looks outside of itself to see the planets, it won’t find what they essentially are.
The only way the sun can find the true self of the planets he illuminates, is in their knowledge of themselves.
The closer they get to themselves the closer they get to being seen by the sun as their true self.
If the sun had a mouth, lips and a tongue, and the planets asked the sun what it calls itself, it would say “I am”.
The sun deeply and one-pointedly bathes in his own beauty, in his own glory, in his own being.
He does this knowing he is a model, an usher into the portal of each of our own beings. But this isn’t the reason he shines. What keeps his fire going is the joy of bathing in his own being.
This is what keeps him looking away from the planets and onto himself.
Looking towards himself is what allows him to see the planets as they essentially are.
The sun is blinded by his own light and therefore blind to the illusions of space and time.
He knows we all share the same being.
And he is unwaveringly there
If the sun could speak it would say I am.
Maybe he is too busy so intensely knowing himself that speaking it would be a folly.
Who are the people in your life ACTUALLY in relationship with??
Are they in relationship with the true you?
Here is the litmus test to find out:
Do you feel energized or drained when you interact with them?
Do you find yourself having to constantly defend, explain, or justify your existence?
Now this doesn’t necessarily mean anything about them. Just because you feel drained by a person in your life, it doesn’t automatically mean they are a narcissist energy vampire.
It could just mean you are afraid of showing them who you really are out of fear. Maybe it’s fear of confrontation, maybe it’s fear of losing the relationship, maybe it’s fear of losing the potential of what they might give you or what you could redeem from them down the road.
Because who knows, maybe if you finally stand up tall and show them who you are, they will rejoice in your power. Maybe that’s just the push they needed to step into who they really are too.
Now you have a real authentic relationship between two people who are being themselves. Nothing better than that.
Admittedly though, often times that isn’t the case, at least from my experience. Usually what happens is they will resent you for showing them that they aren’t being themselves by being yourself so fully, but you never know.
Either way you are acting as a beacon of light to ACTUALLY GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY to choose whether or not they want to be in relationship with the real you.
If they don’t want to be in relationship with the real you, if a diluted, weaker you is more their speed, THE MOST LOVING THING YOU CAN DO is walk away. Because that’s not who you are. So you are giving them a fake relationship, giving them a fake you.
You have to get to the point where you would prefer to be disliked for being who you really are over tricking someone into being in relationship with a fake version of yourself.
You have to get to the point where you are okay with the thought of being an 80 year old with no friends. Being who you really are, even if you are alone, is 100% worth that trade.
But you won’t truly believe that in your bones until you start showing people who you actually are.
And of course you can’t show people who you truly are, and give them the gift of that choice, without knowing who you are first.
So if you lose a bunch of people by being yourself, that is giving you the greatest gift.
You are removing all the anchors that reinforce a fake version of you, so you can truly start getting to know who you really are.
That is the gift of being alone. You start seeing all the ways you are in a pseudo relationship with yourself.
The only reason you don’t want to be alone is because you aren’t being your true self even in relationship to you.
This is all boundaries really are.
THIS IS WHO I AM.
Boundaries aren’t pushing anything away, they are just the natural byproduct of radiating the power of your true self. It’s like the most effortless force field.
And being your true self doesn’t mean everyone will like you. It means the people who “like” (are like) you will gravitate towards you. Like attracts like.
So the question is, who are you really?
Not even in the spiritual know thyself way.
Who are you? Are you weird, sensitive, unusual, big, boisterous, daring, eccentric, bold, intense, unbridledly confident?
Who are you?
When you get honest about who you REALLY are, and stop trying to FIX it to fit someone else’s bullshit mold of who they think you ought to be, and start seeing the qualities of your true self as a FEATURE, you will let go of all the relationships that were never actually in relationship with you anyway.
If you then find yourself in a void without friends or family, that is your cue from life to start looking within and find out who you truly are.
Remember, nature abhors a vacuum.
The people who love who you really are will be drawn to you like a moth to the flame. If you are really being your true self and so are they, you won’t be able to keep them away, nor would you want to.
You can only make space for people who do want to be in relationship with the real you by being yourself as fully as you can, and allow the people who were never in relationship with the real you to begin with, to drop away.

The light that he shines is his testimony.

Had a vivid dream that I was talking to different teachers.
I woke up with the phrase repeating in my head:
“Unconditional love is a crucible”

Let the mind be, let the body be
If you ever find yourself in a moment where you feel it is impossible to feel at peace
Just repeat this to yourself like a mantra
Let the mind be, let the body be
Often the body comes first
Let the body be
Maybe your heart is racing
Maybe your head is pounding
Just let the body be
Let the heart race, let the head pound
Maybe your thoughts are racing
Maybe your emotions are pounding
Just let the mind be
Be with the body, be with the mind
But don’t touch them
They are doing exactly what they need to
Just let them be
Be in the space where your awareness is just sitting next to the body and mind like a loving friend
Imagine a friend is experiencing trouble in the mind and body
How would you be with them?
They just need someone to be with, they don’t need anyone to fix them
Maybe you are so attached to how you think the body and mind should be
You can let that be even
Let yourself be attached
You detach by letting yourself be attached
You detach by letting yourself be as you are
You become who you really are by allowing yourself to be who you are
🙏

There gets to a point of letting go
When you let go of the very idea of letting go
This happens spontaneously, you can’t rush it, you can’t control it, you can’t force it
But at a certain point, even telling yourself to let go becomes something you let go of
All the fixing, all the strategizing, all the micromanaging
All the trying and seeking
All the nervousness attempting to rid itself of nervousness
This is the sacred juncture of self intimacy, of self relaxation, of self love, when your very agency becomes intertwined with the great mystery
You start to experience yourself AS the great mystery
There gets to a point where knowing yourself and being yourself can’t be separated
Both dissolve into the vast ocean of existence, of existing
Existence and existing become one
Let go until there is nothing left to let go of but letting go itself
Fall into the arms of the cosmos
Fall into yourself
Let yourself go
Fall so deeply you forget who fell
For what will catch you is the grace of your own being
Allow yourself to let go so deeply nothing else is needed, not even letting go
Sending you love 🫶
