Already Healed & Whole

Great news! You are Open Awareness that knows No Boundary. You are FREE now. The Sense of Identity as Who we Are veils the true nature of liberation. Is it possible that our true nature is already free and you can see that NOW! It is! And so you are instantly healed, whole and already FREE.

Can an article like this be written in such away as to reflect the true nature of who we are? Can a word trigger an epiphany that allows for liberation - right now? Certainly! Not just the words proving a point or supporting a point of view as a belief. But a real revelation that touches the heart of awareness as who you are.

There is a message that is arising now phenomenally. A new way of seeing that is arising. People are seeing the possibility of awakening to their true nature only because it is now understood that this is available right now for everyone.

It need not take 30 years of meditation. All it entails is truly being sincere and honest and surrendering into the heart of awareness in such a way with true Openness and conviction that it is undeniably clear.

The old model of meditation, while beautiful for a sense of peace, is only a story of how things need to unfold for a true revelation as awareness to arise. It can play out that way, however once we give ourselves the freedom to see that it is possible to "SEE" and be FREE now - then there is no block to all possibility as Awareness. Anything is possible and need not subscribe to ingrained beliefs.

It is amazing to watch as I join and host in The Open Way Radio Show and spiritual Nondual Open Awareness gatherings that something new is unfolding as consciousness. Awakening and Liberation are available to the everyday person. And only because we are not creating a reality or paradigm that it takes time or is reserved only for the few - WAKEUP!!! Look and see!. You are blessed and you are already that for which you seek. You are already FREE as liberated Awareness that knows No Boundary.

You are free NOW! Your sense of identity does not define you. It is an adopted story of your life that only has power if you keep recreating it in the moment as a reality. Otherwise, it is only a thought that arises now, creating a past memory that we live by. We are living in a dream world in that sense. A veil overlaid on the pure, free, seamless, unbounded actuality that is who we are.

Open Awareness or Nonduality (Nonduality literally means "not two" or no separation) is now addressing and questioning, "Who does all this arise for?" Is it the story in our life we think we are? Is it the image of ourselves that creates a boundary as if we are separate? There is a freedom underlying all appearances - all apparently created realities.

Even realities and stories that are beneficial and embraced which we can continue to love. However, we need not reinforce a personal identity through those systems and what happens is the field of possibility opens up - Not around your image of yourself - but transcending that as the ever free Awareness that does not get sucked into and identify with any story. No need to push the stories away. Just knowing you are not ultimately that is enough to be free of them as they arise.

This life is a beautiful symphony in many ways. We need not get rid of it... haha. We are Love itself - Open Awareness. We just need to see through appearances. And that means seeing that we adopted our life story and perceptions as actually being who we are. That is clearly not true! We are mystery that no concept of ourselves can ever capture. We are Love that moves through all arisings without resistance. Seeing this does not mean relative change for the better does not arise. The very seeing can be the action as well as outer appearances align as that.

This is the new wave. Hidden in so many texts and often misinterpreted now coming to light for all to be and see! How wonderful it is! The Chinese say, "May you live in interesting times". We certainly do. And when seen as Awareness, all arising times and phenomena have there own fascination. Pain may arise too! That is part of this play, yet our orientation to it has shifted as it, too, flows through without resistance. Resistance = Suffering.

And finally, as part of this wave, we see that all this is a play and can be likened to a kaleidoscope of experience that is ultimately beyond our notion of any image within the Kaleidoscope that can actually act on it's own. In other words, you are the freedom as Open Awareness before and after the images of life flow through of which ultimately we do not control.

The image we have of ourselves does not exist as an dependant entity to control anything, and yet as the Open Awareness, there is an unbounded freedom to enjoy and play as if - in this playground and gift and blessing we call life. This is the natural state! It is what we were so intimately aware of as babies. We just are what is. A baby does not have to have a personal image of itself. Images come in the from of adopted concepts through life that we stick onto ourselves and say, "This is me."

How can we be an image? What is the Awareness that sees this image that apparently is you and sticks to you! The Awareness is YOU. As we enjoy the play of images passing through.So I embrace all that arises that is nurturing and arises as more space to be. Even in our relative apparent personal realm. Which is beautiful as seen in it's proper context. It appears to have opened the door to see that there is another way of seeing who we are....

It is timeless in a sense and has always been who we are and is in the ancient texts as well. Humanity and consciousness simply were not ripe to receive it in the way it is arising now. Imagine - seeing so clearly beyond doubt that this is true - We are truly Free.

Open your heart to this just a little and all Openness and Love will flood your consciousness. So check out some of these new contemporary awake sharers! There is a saying that "The next Buddha is the Community." It is a blessing. You will find the same truth that the religions have tried to convey, yet a clear undeniable seeing that needs no doctrine or dogma. It is a living truth with no need for reference....
