When I don’t know what to do, I wait for clarity by dropping into emptiness, stillness, silence until something shifts and everything falls into place permitting the Way to become apparent, waiting for me to shift into the flow and circumstances take it from there. Being aligned with the flow of things means sensing/knowing what’s what, what’s happening, and what’s called for here, now in each situation as it arises. And that requires distancing ourselves from what we want to happen. Getting ourselves out of the way of the Way is the most essential and least desirable thing we can do from birth to death, and doing it is like dying, again and again. Reflecting the theme of death and resurrection as the primary, recurring, experience and is the threshold from one way of life to another, and the essence of “turning the light around” in transitioning from one to another.

What this means in “real time” (here, now is real time), is that being spiritually awake, attuned, enlightened is moving into how things are and out of how we want things to be. Arriving is leaving. Yes is No. How awake we want to be is how dead we must become. Resurrection is Death. We die to live and live to die in that each birth requires a death and each awakening requires a dying. And that is the flow of life from metaphor to reality. From actual birth to actual dead and buried. All our life long. Are we up for it? If not, we enter the in-between state of neither being quite dead or quite alive. Zombies between worlds. Where most people spend their time.
