Ah, wholeness. A theme as vast as the sky and as overlooked as the ground we walk on. Isn't it strange how everyone seeks something extraordinary to jolt them awake? Yet, it's the so-called 'mundane' that composes the fabric of life, interwoven with the occasional glimmers of numinosity. You've got it; it's about coming alive in all our aspects.
The Ordinary: Take your morning coffee, for instance. Most people slurp it down like it's a pit stop on the race to Nowhere Special. But if you pay attention, there's a universe in that cup—heat, aroma, texture, taste. All the sensual joys of life are right there in your hand. You want to get high on life? Sip your damn coffee like you mean it.
The Extraordinary: Then there are the 'Eureka!' moments—the glimpses of something so beyond ordinary perception that we label them 'spiritual experiences.' You see the Unseeable, you touch the Untouchable. It’s like discovering an extra layer in your favorite song that you never knew existed. For a brief moment, the veil of illusion lifts, and you get a backstage pass to Reality.
If you get this, you get my perspective on non-duality. Wholeness is not just one or the other; it's a tango between the two. They're both here to remind you of the one thing that never changes: the ineffable Now that doesn't give a fig about our labels.
Realize this, and the ordinary moments become your extraordinary playground. And the extraordinary? Well, it just becomes another sip of coffee, enjoyed like never before.
Peace and lucidity to you, my friend. Let the ordinary shape your path to wholeness.
