Questions and Meditations

And here is what is happening to us = our specters, the endless multitude of our buried formations, the subliminal swarm of our residues, sucked still live to the surface, appear to us – and it would seem the world is asphyxiated by their noxiousness.

We learn to offer. No longer mere nice bouquets, but all that we are, all that we carry, all that we incite, the best as the worst, the unfathomable as the unspeakable, the noblest as the vilest, all, we learn to offer = to That which knows, to That which can, to That which IS. We still need relationships. We still need to place or situate the relation; we are not ready yet to forget the self and so we say “Thou” or “Lord” or “Beloved”…

The passage still seems to be so narrow, excruciating.

At every moment we learn to remember – what truly matters, this offering of all one is, without any pretence or ornament, without any shame or judgment, without preferences or repulsions. One must tidy up.

*

Sincerity is not a quality or a condition one can attain once and for all. We pray that all of our movements and all of our acts may offer themselves unreservedly, so that they may express truth only.

However, the fire of discernment grows in us and dislodges and debunks all of our stratagems.
