Reality is Here

So many paths, all of which bring us to one reality. Reality is not near, it is here.

Reality is when our physical existence merges with our higher centers and higher forces. It has no opposite; there is only one reality. Everything coexists in reality without any opposition. Reality and consciousness are no different. When we are present, we experience reality. When we are here, we are not different. We are the reality we experience. It sounds very complex, but it is as simple as being in the moment wherever one is, without any conflict. 

The only reality is the higher. Because sleep and mechanics are not real. So there is no opposite of reality. In reality, everything is one. It’s like a yin yang, complete in itself. Reality is not individual. We are all together. We are one: the body, the higher centers, the higher influences–all exist in a single reality. 

“What is, is the heart of unshakable reality.” – Parmenides

Reality is not what happens to us, but what we do with it. No matter what we do, we are very powerless. It may not seem like it, but we really have no control of our life. Higher forces design reality. To accept it and to work with it is our job. To transform negative emotions, friction, suffering into presence transforms unconsciousness into conscious reality.

Reality is not functions, it is presence. The creation of galaxies, stars and planets is mechanical. Reality has no start or end. It is forever here. When one is present, time does not exist. When one is not living in the past or future, that is reality. Now is all we have.

We cannot wait for something colossal to happen for us to work with it. We need to use the mundane moments, the simple moments and turn them into a conscious reality. All we need to do is choose the higher and stay with it. 

“Simply and freely choose the better and hold to it.” – Marcus Aurelius

Existing within reality, one has no need to “know” or “have” everything. Reality is being one’s most raw and real self that has no wishes but to just be here. When one stands within reality, there is no doing. There is just kneeling to higher forces and working with whatever comes. 

The most difficult achievement is to turn an unconscious machine into an astral body. It may take lifetimes for that. But when one is in reality, one is a conscious being, an angel. 

“The truth about reality is always in our soul.” – Plato

Presence without words drops all thoughts, wishes and feelings.  We are momentarily free.
Presence is Reality.
