Children of the Sky

So many suns, galaxies, clusters of galaxies, all sharing the same sky. So many opinions and points of view, all arising in the same space, the space of awareness.

All human minds share an intractable and unified expanse, in which there is plenty of room for all. Yet we are trapped in grids of polarized energy that flow through this boundless space of mind. Stuck like flies in the web of mental conflict, which is woven of nothing but thought, we cling to our limited viewpoints, our beliefs, instead of resting in our unbound awareness. We are trapped in the cloud of what OUGHT to be, instead of realizing our true idently as the pure sky of what IS.

The breadth of a galaxy, the emptiness in an atom, the abyss or our own Being are all the same space. Yet this space must awaken. Only when space wakes up can humanity know true peace.

This is the elegant solution, the real "shift" to a new earth. It won't happen through political debate, economic systems, or military power.

It is a gentle, graceful, foreground-background shift that happens in consciousness itself. Beliefs, opinions and ideologies recede. Self-luminous awareness, without any content at all, emerges into the foreground. Space outshines what it contains, like dawn making 10,000 candles obsolete.

The way-showers who guide us to this new world are not the intellectuals, the thinkers, or the true believers. Our guides are the Holders of Awakened Space. They may be our children. Quite often they are labelled as "learning disabled" by an educational elite trapped in their own conceptual boxes. Why are these children diagnosed with "Attention Deficit Disorder"? Because they feel unutterable yearning for expansion, transcendence, and pure awareness.

Do not drug them. Do not medicalize their condition, because they are here for a noble purpose: to awaken space, soften our edges, shift background to foreground, and illuminate creation in the clarity of pure Being.

Honor the Holders of Awakened Space, the Children of the Sky.
