Return again to “I Am”

 Simply return, again and again.

Come back to what is real.

Come back to what is untouched,

what is untainted and unharmed

by the comings and goings of the world.

I am not stepping out of the dance of duality because I am smarter, wiser, better, more spiritual, or because have learned a method that helps me, have more willpower than others, etc. I am stepping out of the dance of duality because I have seen the neutral ground “I Am.” From that perspective I realize that independent of how the failure or the fortune plays out, independent of what that I identify with, my happiness is eventually the same.

 

 

When we make it to the “I Am” state, the struggle with the dualities of life is kind of over. Maybe there are still some more persistent energy links that beg to be broken but the adjustment is now instantaneous and no longer a process. A simple stepping away because clinging to the so-perceived preferred over the so-perceived disliked no longer makes any sense. Instead of rooting for one outcome over the other, we return again to “I Am.”
