The big difference between today and the time prior to Awakening is that these days I travel lighter. Sure, I still carry stuff around like memories, hurts, expectations for the future, etc., but these are minuscule compared to the olden days. A good night’s sleep mostly reprograms everything and what may have been on my heavy on mind a day ago is often long gone the next day.
FIN is French for end. It’s an acronym for “Freedom Is Now.” Not in the sense that we are free to experience what we want, but free in the sense that we are not bound in our choice by the past or carry the weight of today’s experience into the future. Under FIN we don’t need a day or a good night’s sleep to rid us of the travails or the excitement of yesterday, but it happens instantaneously.
Metameza Ushi had this to share after I posted this note on Facebook:
The perceived is to regard external objects as real. The perceiver is to mis-apprehend the mind within as real.
When applying this experientially, within your own stream of Being, look at externally perceived objects, and realize that appearances are empty
in and of themselves.
Look from the most inner perceiving awareness and see that this mind is intangible and empty.
Realizing this is to realize that the perceiver and the perceived are indivisible as an appearing emptiness.

There is a reigning “no-thing-ness” both within and without that we can be aware of and tune into. Every “thing” is born there and dies there. Freedom Is Now.
