Giving by Nature

 https://off-guardian.org/2021/07/18/a-breakup-letter-to-society/

Giving set in material terms is a very limiting concept - as if giving is only to get - even if for others or a society.

Holding the quality of inner joy is a natural radiance of being that gives of itself.

Much of the drama and struggle of attempts to prove or become something fall away to a quality of self-acceptance. Old patterns come up to be released instead of wasting the day at hand.

I have lived an unfolding of experience that is richer than anything I could have planned - and am still here.

What can we truly give?

The gift of freedom is that of bringing our true presence to our relationships, which both gives and receives in like kind. That we are trained to contract to relations of masking distance is both an inner and outer measure of our current acceptance.

Awareness is being, and true vigilance is not set by a past made in grievance, but as a current responsibility for integrity of being. For this, release of the past is needed - else its boot-print stamps on the present as a means to a future like itself.

Releasing our USE of the past, of others or the body or the world, allows true function to resume of itself as awareness of being. But while we would use Life as a means to GET for a separate self-sense, we cannot recognise ourself in others, in Life and World or in fact in our self.

Alienation is the result of distancing, masking and acting out inner conflict on an outer world.

Disclosure of an alien agenda is not what we think we think, but is what we think we think alone - albeit in lockstep of mutually reinforcing definitions and beliefs.

The Script for Separation runs division, conflict, pain and loss - set in struggle.

The Awakening Script is the undoing of what never was to what Always is. This makes no sense to identity in time, excepting where it heals and releases from what we believed real and suffered grievously under attempt to escape or overcome.

It isn't that we declare illusions unreal and claim righteousness, but that we stop investing in what we believe they give us, so as to open new ways of seeing.

Where two or more resonate in shared with-ness, is a Field.

Loves do not finally meet.

They were in each other all along.

yes the mask can be seductive and grotesque.

But are we the result of our story?

Or the fruit of a giving in which we were never truly alone?
