In the beginning
(or just before it) there were two words, perhaps the very words that inspired this site: nothing happens.
No matter how many times I came across this teaching I just couldn’t get it. It was so obvious that things did happen every day, in fact, every millisecond of every day something happened.
After all, Time is a happening and Space is a happening place.
Personally I like happenings. Nothing happens is not a state I wish to experience, not now, not while I’ve got a body and an independent mind. But liking happenings is a fairly recent happy attitude of mine which has developed since I crossed the 50 line. Up to then I tried to understand, survive and make the best of happenings. Happenings like
- first memories,
-
..oh! something happened
-
- childhood,
-
..I must smile
-
- adolescence,
-
..I must rebel
-
- growing up,
-
..I must be sexy
-
- parenthood,
-
..I know love
-
- earning a living,
-
..I must earn money
-
My life happening was all-absorbing and stressful with many highs and lows and it thoroughly held my attention. Then, as I crossed the 50 line, there came a lightning bolt of understanding that this absorption could no longer continue, and this bolt was accompanied by a strong feeling of immanent disaster and the immediate need to pay attention.
I started to search and soon I met
- a person
-
my Teachers
-
who often said: nothing happens. I still didn’t get it, but he was, undoubtedly, my Teacher. Meeting him enabled me to look beyond my daily life and I was his student for 5 years.
This is the quest I set myself:
Can I experience anything beyond the contents of my everyday consciousness?
My experiences in the beyond are what have brought me to my happy attitude, which, if I ever had it in my life before never managed to root itself in my consciousness and grow. But now I can visit places, once inaccessible in my life of everyday, where happening not only happens but it brings happiness to my days.
this site is from me for You: my desire is to inspire You to explore consciousness.
