Sometimes the light streams through the window in such a way I can see hundreds and hundreds of small, fairy-like floating, flying dust bunny lints and other stuff. Only in the light beams do they appear. They disappear in the areas where the light doesn't shine. To me, denial is like where the light doesn't shine. I just can't see the bars of the prison cell. I just can't see it. Awareness helps shift the light to cast its beams on the cell bars and they appear shimmering, maybe yes and maybe no of their reality. They are real as soon as I accept the truth that I am in bondage. I am still in the cell until I take action...I walk the 12 Steps that take me from a place of nowhere to a place of Somewhere...into the Realm of the Sunlight of the Spirit. When I reside in this Realm who I am shifts into a Higher Consciousness operating in a small huge arena of power, light and love. This is The Great Reality.
The woodcutter was cutting wood.
One day the woodcutter was enlightened.
Then, the woodcutter was cutting wood.
If, the woodcutter became enlightened and he still cut wood then what was the point? Why didn't he become rich, beautiful, famous, etc.? Why bother? Because it's an inside job. Victor Frankel, a Jewish psychiatrist, was in a concentration camp and survived the Holocaust. He was on the "Death Patrol", the Jews who had to collect jewelry, gold teeth, and other things of value off the dead Jews. He noticed there was a difference between those who survived and those who didn't. He realized there was an inner core, a place the Nazi had no access or dominion...his inner space where he was free. No matter what the outside, no matter the stimuli, he was free to choose how he would feel, be or not. True power, light and love that no one can steal nor will it rust, age or fade...wow. I want that freedom.
