 A true Master has many defects. A false Master has none" Jodorowsky

Be kind to yourself. There is no blame. You have done so well to survive and get this far. (Hafiz)
This awareness of our simple, humble humanity brings peace from trying to find grand solutions to life.
There is unity, there is belonging, there is peace.

Falling back to the Earth

Picture
In the end, all stems, branches, leaves, flowers, fruits and nuts, … and even the roots, fall back to be embraced by the earth. Most of these to be eaten and decomposed, to return completely to the earth. A few might pass a long winter of germination and then sprout roots once more for a new cycle.

The Earth does not judge fertile or infertile plants and fruits. Each has their important place in the cycles of life. The Earth embraces all with love and compassion. She holds all of history in her belly, bacteria, algae, mosses, all the micro organisms to re-create life with the alchemy of the elements. The Earth reclaims her own. All our fine projects and plans are broken down back to fine compost.

                                                     “Once you get out of the way,  the way becomes you and you become the way.”   G. Roth



In this phase No Way works with the wise compassion of the elder.
  • Here we can trust in not knowing, trust in the wisdom of the greater spirits…
  • This now is a trust from life experience .. not the blind and dependent trust of the child.
  • For us modern humans this is about letting go finally of our EGO, letting go of attachments,
  • letting go of all concepts of success or failure, of health and illness, indeed of any duality.
  • We connect with deep compassion for the great diversity of life in all its phases, those we understand and the great majority that we do not. We now are able to look at death and decomposition with joy and humour, as part of the great dance of life. This is Transpersonal Unity.
