God in Relationship
I find it hard, recently, to find a subject for another post. Everything seems to be part of a space, part of oneness, hard to distinguish something enough to actually write about it.
There are ways of experiencing reality, ways of relating – those can be described – but they are only one of many different ways, one of many perspectives, so why write about them?
To change a subject a bit – I just came back from vacation in Paris few days ago. I find traveling to another country, to another continent, a wonderful opportunity to realize who I am and who I am not.

I have realized something today while taking my morning walk with Ghani (having a dog is a fantastic catalyst for spiritual realizations by the way, I highly recommend it :).
I thought about the workshop I took last weekend and about being who I am, being who I am in relationship, and I realized that who I am in relationship to myself is crucial. This is exactly what Brooks said but I haven’t seen it so clearly then – I do now.
Who I am is all in relationship, it exists in relationship. More specifically – in how I am in relationship, how I relate. There is a choice that we have, I believe. A choice of who we identify with, our mind, or ourselves. This choice, once made, will make itself clear in the way we relate.
I took a workshop with Brooks this weekend. It was very intense, very butt-kicking, very much excellent … and I have nothing to say about it!
I have nothing to say not for any of the usual reasons, but because what we worked on was so far beyond mind, so free of structure, of anything to hold on to, anything describable that, well, it can’t really be described. Not using words in the established, traditional way.

Trees have no mind. I know, cause I talked to them this morning. They are what they are, who they are, without the extra baggage. They are themselves and everything else, God as it expresses itself in nature. Trees do not have to struggle and overcome obstacles to get enlightened, to wake up, to realize who they really are. They are nothing else but who they really are.
So what do they do, one might ask? They are what they are already, does anything change for them, or do they just … blissfully exist?
Did you, those of you who practice some form of spirituality or another, ever wondered what happens after you get “enlightened”?

I am going to write a book. In fact I am writing a book. My entries on this blog from the last few months were intended to be the raw material for my literary adventures and finally, few weeks ago, I have realized that I have quite enough to get to a serious, focused book writing.
