“Perfection is possible but fleeting; like that perfect equilibrium attained when riding in a bicycle, it usually fades before we become aware of it presence…” ~ Leofina Jane G. Galleta

Is there not a perfect equilibrium already present in the effortlessness of existence?
An equilibrium that is ever-present but only fleetingly noticed – an equilibrium that we bury in familiarity.
An incomparable perfection that cannot be questioned by us who are its product – which is yet neither perfection nor imperfection, being beyond measure & judgement.
Audacious as we have become, to elevate our judgement as superior or more real – to invent choices of good or bad, true or untrue, perfect or imperfect – we trap ourselves within a purely relative reality – wherein our lives seem only to gain thorough expression via our selection of preferences.
Yet existence is always there – before and despite our interpretation.
Existence is whole and complete at all times – and we, of course are included in that wholeness.
Existence manages to effortlessly present itself with an utter simplicity – and presents us with a complete liberty to interpret this in infinite ways – inviting us to accept it as simplicity, or to ignore it and choose to see it as complexity, as they are two sides of the same coin – unity and diversity.
However, diversity is only the form that unity has adopted – complexity is the apparency of simplicity to our perception – but the ability to perceive is the most simple and inescapable attribute of our lives and exists prior to our fashioning of judgement.
The ability to perceive, although apparently inseparable from that which we perceive, is the fundamental, invisible essence of our lives – without awareness nothing would exist.
Appreciation of this is the key to discovering the simplicity and the innate perfect equilibrium of existence – appreciating the infinite field of awareness in which all questions of choice arise – in which all complexity arises.
Perfect peace is the experience of total acceptance of this equilibrium as it flows through our own being – perceiving awareness along with all that arises within awareness – simple perception – without judgement – just allowing and observing – and the dawning realisation that awareness itself is the deepest and most profound mystery – contained in the simplicity of silence.
Wow Tim, that is so wonderful!
