🟢 Meditations on Awarenesses of Acceptance and Sufficiency ⚪
I see much value in the practice of Acceptance.
Acceptance smoothly paves solid ground over my treacherous impulse to blunder and bluff. Such responses stem from my self-regard blinkered from, perhaps fearful of and wilfully blind to the life I share with people around me.
Acceptance is tearing away my blinkers of self-regard.
Acceptance is me choosing to reduce my true size relative to “where I’m at”, and so I am released!
Acceptance releases me from confrontation, spite, doubt, confusion. Above all, I am released from the need to hide from others.
Acceptance of who I am, without precondition, with no judgement, opens me to self-love. Self-love may be timid, shy, inclined to spend time waiting. Self-love welcomed, accepted, is an invincible ally. Self-love will glory in reminding me of the mutually shared love story between my heart and me.
Acceptance is an unwavering loyal friend, as I walk hand in hand with my other awareness – Sufficiency.
Sufficiency is the time from the outside to the still-point centre of anything at all.
Sufficiency is the end contained in the beginning.
There can be no outside of ‘Sufficiency’.
Sufficiency is Love’s second gift. The first is immeasurable presence.
When there is no longer a fear of death, the THISNESS of bliss is understood as Sufficiency in itself.
Sufficient is a living beating newborn heart, a rust encrusted pencil sharpener, the fractal three of clover, the pale Blue Dot seen through Saturn’s rings.
When Sufficiency arrives with a soundless extreme implosion of perfection, I am surprised it’s completely enough not to know, not to have been present, never to have loved, never to be more than merely somewhat…
It is my awareness of Sufficiency which links me directly to the sum of all joys.
Any joy of any sort piercing the living moment is sufficient.
For example, I may be kissed. At that instant, all the breaths I have ever breathed are contained in that kiss.
I do not think, “This is a kiss”.
A kiss which knows itself to be a kiss will instantly self-destruct and disappear as completely as if it had never been.
The treasure awaiting my discovery in any experience is made suddenly visible by my inborn ability to allow its inherent quality of Sufficiency to overtake both it and me.
Every such wholly-lived experience – no matter if it feels bad or good – is so naturally powerful for the simple reason that it arrives in my life carrying its own tiny share of the cosmic Big Bang.
For me, that presumed Singularity is where time, space, matter, co-exist with love. This is where we came from and where we will return.
Sufficiency is the end contained in the beginning.
Sufficiency is without form, because it allows for all potential outcomes from void.
The naked flesh of humility is clothed by Sufficiency.
Awareness of Sufficiency has more gravity than its own mass! It is the cornerstone of Acceptance.
Acceptance extends, as does Humility, as does compassion, as does peace, indefinitely, infinitely.
Gratitude for these infinite sufficiencies!
