ISHTAM
By John Weddepohl
via Yogaco
Already ourselves, ignorance creates the distance.
Looking proves how ignorant we are. If I’m looking for myself, I’m in an orbit. Spinning around myself, I am spinning around the truth. Yet to know what Self is or what truth looks like, if Self is me, why am I still looking? Searching for myself I am yet to realise the greatest prize in the universe.
All Self needs is; pointing out. Self-Knowledge removes the imaginary distance. Knowledge completes us. Once I know myself as nothing but the truth there is no more mystery and no distance.
None of us knows what truth looks like or, how to recognise it. Unless it is pointed out.
Thinking I know myself, I am still spinning, orbiting what is closer than the closest and the truth like the Galaxy is still a mystery.
No matter how deeply I meditate, no practice can manifest or get me what I am already.
Truth is not a destination nor a mystery, until we make it one.
Making Self a destination a mystery is ignorance.
Forever searching, turns the greatest journey and discovery of a lifetime in the universe into a nightmare and, we never get there. Because we are the Truth, Self is a destinationless destination.
An egoless, actionless, placeless place; a pathless path.
Just me thinking ‘I know’ takes me into an orbit.
Orbiting around myself spinning around nothing but the truth, once I know the truth, I stop spinning and getting the grand prize the search stops.
To stop putting a spin on mySelf, knowledge is needed.
If I don’t know myself yet I am yet to own the truth.
If I don’t know myself yet I am yet to own the truth.
Once I own myself owning the truth knowledge is not needed.
Get to know your Self and what Self is through Self-knowledge.
Studying everything else, how to be a doctor, lawyer, PhD, couch surfer, yogi, meditator we leave out the most meaningful important bit; ourselves". 🕉🌞
The simplest, most common and already
totally complete thing on earth
Is The Self.
Is Your Own True Nature.
Who Am I?
And every One of us already are 100%
The Reality of Our Own Unique Wholeness.
It simply cannot Be any other way.
Any Remaining imposed
"terms & conditions", which are NOT the real us,
MAY
still be hiding your true self
which is unadulterated pure light.
So if you choose, sure weed your garden,
make it, create it, build it, choose it, prioritize it,
but remember, right now, even
The Weeds Are Part of You!
And That's Ok!
The Totality of The Universe INCLUDES all.
It must, otherwise it is NOT the Universe.
Once We Relax, Be 100% at Ease
As Our Own True Nature,
Expand The Lens, Include More Adventure,
Explore More, Live This Truth,
This is The Reality of Knowing
Who Am I?
as We Become More Receptive To Truth
as We Get Better Prepared To Accept The Truth
as We Listen To Qualified Teachers, Who Already Know,
We Realize For Our Self That Nothing is Under Control.
We Realize For Our Self That There Is No Path.
We Realize For Our Self That We Already ARE
The Masters Of Our Own Universe.
We Get To Choose, We get To Prioritize,
We Get To Live Our Life Exactly as We Already Are.
Life, The Universe, Is Fundamentally All Ok
Once We Know, Who Am I?
We Just Get On & Live Our Lives.
Simply, Freely, Paying Kindness Forward,
Communing In Community
Choosing What Aligns For Our True Self
From Moment To Moment
and NOT
Being Sold or Told or Lead By The Nose,
By Those Trying Hard To Side Track Us To Their Ways,
or those selling us a philosophy or selling us "yoga"
or even trying to re sell us "Our Self".
You Already ARE That Which Is Ever Fresh
Consciousness Never Changes,
Only The Forms May Change,
The Most Exotic Thing On The Planet is You
Your Flowering of The Creation It Self
One Creature In Creation, already.
Can You Be Unconscious?
maybe those selling falsities of numbing distractions,
THINK they can...
Any Choices We Make
Possibly With The External Conditioning Of Other's
On Their Path, Doing Their Thing, Living Their BEST Life,
Minions and Muppets and Puppet Masters
Pulling Their Own Strings
Attached & Co-Dependent To External Conditions
Following Followers Complicit Compliant
Ticking Boxes NOT To Tell The Truth
Ticking Boxes Perfect Pleasing People
Ticking Boxes Digging Gold and Take Take Taking
Doing Exactly As Told
By Patterns of Unconscious Dis Integrated Ego Conditions
AND Then Possibly ALSO Trying Way To Hard
Trying Hard To Tell You Who To Be
Trying Hard To Insecurely Con Troll & Mansplain
Trying Hard To Convert To a Narrow Unstable Track
Trying Hard To Get Over Themselves, The Fake Self,
Trying Hard to Enable, Enmesh, Entitled Through Fear
Trying EVER So Hard To Cover The Fake Self Up
Trying Hard To Meet Demanding Schedules
and Made Up Make Believe Ridiculous Challenges
To Prove Something To An Insecure Self,
all The while exhausted, worn out, no energy, flat, uninspiring
No Fizz, No Spontaneity, No Idea of Being Lost In Living,
No Vulnerability, No Depth, No Foundations,
No Space or Grace or Time or Energy Over Flowing
For The Inclusive Reality of Total Living
A Full Spectrum & Full Spiral Whole Gracious Life,
When We Know, When We Land,
Where We Consistently Fire Up and Flow
and Rest and Restore and Reflect and Then Rise Again.
True Nature's Cycles, True Nature's Rises and Falls
Inclusive; Earth, Inclusive; Fire,
Inclusive; Air and Inclusive; Water.
Freeking Just A Tad Elementary
My Dear What's On...?
When we already know our elementary 100%
SIMPLE TRUE SELF
We simply choose where and with whom we
Prioritize A Mutual Flowing Energy Exchange
To Be Aligned & Kind With.
See, Ever So Simple, See?
Any Imposed "Terms & Conditions"
Any Falsities of External Expectations
Any Paths That Others May Try & Choose For You
Can Be Incredibly Subtle, or blunt, or harsh, or nuanced,
But Any External Conditioning
May Be There From Birth
May Be Somatically Inter Generationally
There May Be Many Many Forms and Layer Upon Layer
of Conditioning;
Like Media or Society or Parents or
School or Religion or The Fake Self
and then ANY others, over "there"
those finger pointing, blame the otherings, victims, over there,
trying hard to Tell Us or Sell Us Who We Should Be
(May Be Even The Minions & Muppets Dreg Addled paths...?)
Who Nose...? Butt It Sure as Hell Ain't Mine!
So Thank You For Telling & Selling & Yelling
all fine and dandy and grate and controlling
all of course accepted In The One Universe
(but NOT agreed to...)
These External Imposed Terms & Conditions
That May Take Us Away From Our Already True Self
or Those Unconscious Assholes Who Mean NO Harm,
Ultimately Trying Hard To Get Us Side Tracked and
Lost In Their Path of Living.
Why do that (knowingly) to Your Self...?
So Get To Know and Be Grounded As Your
True 100% Authentic Self.
Self Knowledge, Atma Vidya,
The Simplest Thing On Earth.
Thank You John and Rachel.

Then Simply Continue To Live, Love and Laugh,
"Pay Attention, Be Astonished & Tell About It!"
(Thank You Mary Oliver)
So Who Am I... Really?
Wholeness, Totality and Absolutely 100% A ok
In and As Our Own True Nature.
Seasonally Adjusted, of course...
Be From Love, NOT For Love
Be From Enough,
Be The Gorgeous, Grateful, Humble
100% Inclusive Unique Humans
We All Already Are.
So Simple, See?
Chop Wood Carry Water
Carry On...
and laugh my freaking joyous ass off...
How GOOD Is Life?
Really!
Hari Om.
