23 Jun Collapsing into the One
“Collapsing completely into The One, zeropoint… suddenly it becomes crystal clear that nothing in this world makes any sense… what is left is laughter, an explosion of pure laughter.” Ratna Dewi
It started in this moment in 2009 when I was swimming with the dolphins, and a mother dolphin came so close and kept swimming next to me eye to eye… nothing else in that moment excisted anymore. After that I had more moments like that, and one time it felt like I was dying, I gave myself up. After that profound moment of awakening to the Truth, I thought I got IT, now I get it… but I didn’t realize that that was only just the beginning… I shared this with a very dear friend and Dzogchen teacher of mine, and he asked me; well, do you feel you are strongly rooted in the Truth now? Nothing can discombobulate you anymore? Hmmm then I knew that this was not only just one moment of realisation but a practice of deeper and deeper rooting… And so I started to dedicate myself more and more to do as much as I can and use the tools that I know can guide me into the One.
I believe everyone has to find there own unique tool, that works for them. For me it is Inner Dance, (Heart of the Feminine Dance) Stone balancing, swimming with the dolphins, and sometimes a masculine approach can be very powerful as well. For example a few days ago I experienced one of those moments when I was listening to Bentinho Massaro in a guided meditation of his recent Sedona sessions (session 6)… all the physical sensations, everything faded to the background and only what was left was nothing, void, the One, the absolute. I just couldn’t stop laughing. I felt like the space was getting bigger and bigger, I wasn’t this little me anymore… And what I find so profound, is the ease, the simplicity of this. There is nothing complex about it, only the mind makes it so extremely complicated, but when you are able to drop that…then you’ll see it’s the most simple thing in the world because this Is You, and it has always been… nothing is separated from that.
I also had those moments before with my partner, just simply when we lay in bed, and he said something that didn’t make any sense, something like “I’m wearing socks because its cold” but he said it so serious that instantly something just snapped in me… and again I burst out in laughter… the realization of that nothing is truly serious, that it is all a play… that we have this vehicle, sensations, creations, experiences… which are all bubbles in a glass of sparkling water, nothing more. Not giving any meaning to all this, don’t care about anything, is the most powerful realization. Because all is left is You, the real You.
Even these words should not be taken seriously. Drop all your believes and importance of this life. Love it but love it while you know you Are it, and even beyond that…
Once we know this, and have the sincere desire and willingness to strengthen this muscle, and practice to root ourselves into the One, or collapsing into the One… whatever that is experienced in life, you just know you are beyond all this… And all is left is laughter.
