Made of Bliss
What has been missing in life is bliss.
As we awaken and find out who and what we are — and beyond — we find that all there is, is bliss. Not just bliss, but a beautiful, divine bliss. This is what we're made of. This is what the body — the whole world — is made of.
Everything is divine bliss in appearance. But the conditioning that "I am just this little individual body-mind," separate from the world, has limited us to a very superficial level of what we are and what is.
Reality is bliss. Tidal waves of bliss.
The substratum of life itself — pure Being, pure Consciousness — is concentrated pure bliss, not yet awake to its own perpetual reverberation that is creating and appearing as your body, the world, and the universe right now. Until that awakens, any bliss experienced will only be temporary, ebbing and flowing. The golden, vibrant, alive field of effulgent Consciousness itself remains missing. And so does the bliss.
So we have to unfold a little more, open up a little more. Because it's all right here and now, not at some time in the future. Right now, all of our surroundings are a silent space, a silent stillness. And that stillness is actually pure Awareness itself — saturating everything.
This pure, concentrated Awareness pervades all thoughts, perceptions, and experiences. The Seer sees itself seeing itself — underlying, beyond, and including all objects and phenomena. And when the grip of the mind releases, the Awareness, the Being, begins to feel itself more fully. It fills itself with more of the silence, stillness, and the Presence already here in the space all around, in the space within the atoms and molecules of the body, and within and appearing as all objects everywhere. It’s all lively Silence.
Really, everything is that lively silent pure Consciousness conscious of itself, concentrated upon itself, appearing as objects and phenomena. Consciousness becomes so concentrated upon itself that it gets lost in the appearance of a physical body and a physical world that it is creating out of itself. But it is still just Consciousness concentrated upon itself, awake and alive within itself. And that is what is here, right now.
These words are not for the mind. They are not for understanding, knowledge, or inspiration. This is your own Being speaking, reading and listening to itself — pulling itself out of the concepts and boundaries of the mind. Otherwise, Being can't experience the free flow of itself. It's restricted. It’s caught, it’s trapped.
By taking ownership of being the body, a false ego sense arises — and that has caused all sorts of conditioning and stress. But every body is, in reality, a body of pure Divinity, extending to infinity. Is it any wonder we've suffered, having shrunk into a little body-mind, when the body is, in reality, a boundless divine bliss body?
At some point, we have to let go of all of it — everything learned, everything known, everything experienced — up to the point of the disappearance of the little me. In that Awakening, we shift from being this little body-mind to being the field of Awareness itself in which the body-mind and all these perceptions are contained.
Being is not here or there — it's everywhere, underlying and supporting everything. You become the source of existence itself. Everything only exists due to Consciousness. Without Consciousness, there would be nothing.
And there is a deeper unfoldment still. Being becomes awake to its own alive bliss and joy — its alive flow of life that appears as all of this world around us. It's a lively field of bliss. It's what the world is. And at some point, even the Self disappears. Only then can the real pure Divinity bliss - the source of all bliss, be revealed.
This bright, wakeful Awareness that you are viewing through right now, becomes brighter, more awake, more clear, more unbounded — until the fine filament of pure Divinity found everywhere in the infinity of Consciousness begins to reverberate, to pulsate, to flow and radiate pure light, brighter than millions of suns. Its disguise of world appearance melts. The pure clarity of the Being and beyond, shines brighter and brighter.
So we allow this brilliant light of divine bliss to be our life. It's not something that just gets experienced — it is your life. In it there is not even a you or a me. Just pure Divine life.
That is what this life is about. That is what enlightenment is about. It’s not the person that becomes enlightened — it is the unbounded Awareness itself, that You really are, that finds its divine source. And all of life, which has been divine all along, finds its source in pure Divinity.
Just be with that, and allow it to become alive. Just allow it to be what it is. That's all.
