Slowing Down To The Speed Of Life
“To go beyond the mind, you must be silent and quiet. Peace and silence; silence and peace – this is the way beyond.”
– Nisargadatta Maharaj
Slowing down to the speed of life helps us see life with clarity. To see life with clarity means to see life as it is and now how we interpret it to be.
Slowing down allows us to go beyond the realm of personal thinking, imagination, and opinions to the realm of pure existence-awareness.
Existence-awareness doesn’t require our thoughts to be.
Existence-awareness is always-already-here prior to your next thought.
When we slow down, waaaaaay down, we can notice how even when all thoughts cease, your sense of Being does not.
This sense of Being is your innate freedom.
It’s your limitless, boundless nature.
Beingness (Consciousness) is the foundation of all clarity. It is clarity itself.
Without thoughts or language, most (if not all) our confusions, worries and fears, dissolve.
It’s in this spirit that I invite you to take moments, starting right now, to slow down more than you’ve ever dared to slow down before.
Notice the space between thoughts.
Notice the space between breaths.
Notice the space in which everything arises and falls.
Notice what is actually here now without minimizing or limiting your present-moment-experience to your thoughts and words about it.
Direct experience will always be so much more than you can ever say about it.
With all my love,
Joshua
