The Call by Dean Solon

"irony is merely death walking among us.  it doesn't take up the challenge, it isn't life speaking."   (kim stanley robinson)

God is the One thing, God is the only thing that does not exclude all else that matters in your life.
God is the One thing, God is the only thing, God includes all else that matters in your life.
why is God-in-your-life frightening for you?
because it---IT---is the one thing, the only thing, the real and true thing, in your life.
because when you are Called---when you hear the Call---you must answer the Call, or you will die to what is real and true, to what is utterly genuine, to what is utterly authentic, in this life.
the most important connection, the most vital connection, the One that matters, is your connection with God.
even if you lived in a culture, in a world, that accepted, that supported, that encouraged, that respected and honored this to be so---that the most important connection is with God, and that hearing the Call is a gift of gifts, an honor of all honors---it would still be a difficult path, would still be challenging...could still be frightening to you.
because when something is everyThing, all is included.
because when something is everyThing, you must be and are
                                                                                   all in.

it also may be written, also may be read, in this way:

this is the one thing, this is the only thing that does not exclude all else that matters in your life.
this is the one thing, this is the only thing, this includes all else that matters in your life.
why is this-in-your-life frightening for you?
because this---THIS---is the one thing, the only thing, the real and true thing, in your life.
because when You are Called---when you hear the Call---you must answer the Call, or you will die to what is real and true, to what is utterly genuine, to what is utterly authentic, in this life.
the most important thing, the most vital thing, the One thing that matters, is being connected.
even if you lived in a culture, in a world, that accepted, that supported, that encouraged, that respected and honored this to be so---that what is most important is to feel, is to be, connected, and that hearing the Call is a gift of gifts, an honor of all honors---it would still be a difficult path, would still be challenging...could still be frightening to you.
because when something is everything, all is included.
because when something is everything, you must be and are
                                                                                 all in.

"it's not a kingdom like any you know,
the kingdom of God that's within you,
but hundreds and thousands of kingdoms."     (rumi).

Blindsided by Dean Solon

there is an aspect of not-being-in-the-truth when i claim to be blindsided by an experience, by an event, by something another person has "done" to me...because it ws always an inherent possibilty, was always a nearly-foreseen potentiality, was always one of a nearly infinite multitude of arising and unfolding realities.

enlightenment is an unfolding and unwinding, a disclosing of the obvious, a clear viewing of the already seen...a giving up of the wrestling [with-God] scene.
all that is, of the universe/multiverse, is known to each of us;  the life(s) journey is the integrating of what, already, is known.
     everything is known to me, even if not [yet] understood by me.
     therefore, each of us is a future buddha.
     therefore, each of us always has been a buddha.
     because once one becomes a buddha,
     one experiences always having been a buddha
     and always being a buddha.
     past/future/present one thing.  one thing.
     time a nearly infinite space.

so what it is i am asserting:  there is an aspect of not-being-in-the-truth when you---when any and all of us---claim to be blindsided by an experience, by something that has been done to you...because you always might have seen---and so DID see---its arising and unfolding possibility.
which is, in this quantum multiverse, no different than asserting that you DID see its arising and unfolding reality.

no shame, no blame, no excuses; no contradictions, no paradoxes, no confusion; no clinging to victimhood, no holding tightly to being traumatized.

being here, being present, in the quantum multiverse---in THIS quantum multiverse---is traumatic, in each and every moment.

being here, being present, in the quantum multiverse---in THIS quantum multiverse---is a great good fortune opportunity, is a brilliant bright light experience.
