Emptiness

This post is partnered by the one entitled 'Not-two, not one'. Both are outcomes of a meditative practice borne by virtue of some material from the Core Integral: Essential Integral modules, this on state-stage awareness via the Wilber-Combs lattice. This present post calls forth the essence of my sense of the causal state structure-stage instances, the  'Not-two, not one' post is what I encounter in the space described by the nondual state structure-stage instances.

With deep thanks to Kell, because you asked about the nature of my Facebook post, of the same material. 

New realms of seeing have opened up, in that simple question from you, these small ways that we make each other real.

Breathing into the nothingness of the void as the source of all being,

equally giving forth, the rise and fall.

Peace, as cessation of desire and needs

grows, the sense that everything is empty, open and still.

The path of cessation of suffering is the path to liberation,

pursuing anything else is a distraction, know that

the void calls on all.

This realm of stillness and clarity is deeply empowering,

self and other, you and I, intertwined, eternal. The one freedom.

All elements, all phenomena, all beings, the entire kosmos, are just this:

simple, pure and empty. Free.

And apprehend, all, the all, at rest,

deep peace through endless levels of realisation.

The eternal, timeless and unborn, here, is the true essence of the world of form.

Involution and evolution cease

and find their source in this place of radical emptiness,

emerging as pure unqualifiable awareness.

Resting as vast, transparent clarity, an undying being returning

to the source in every moment.

Like the winds softly whispering at sunrise intuition calls,

and says

go further,

do not stop here,

do not become attached to the stillness.

Do not forget your true nature.

All is transient, insubstantial,

one with a pure, luminous and subtle light.

Resting as witness, with pure awareness and pure openness,

the entire world arises as consciousness, utterly free.

I am

vast,

infinite,

open,

never born and never dying.
