Honoring The Mystery
- Mark Nepo
Somehow we have been dropped into the Mystery,
below our roles, and identities, fallen through our maps into
one stream of love. Some moment or circumstance becomes
an unexpected doorway into the Mystery. We never know how
it will appear, or how we will be drawn to it...

Honoring the Mystery is what opens us to the powers of wholeness -
this unknowable totality that we live in. To honor the Mystery is
not just to glimpse the whole, or even acknowledge the whole, but
to live our days with [as] that wholeness... Commit to leaning into
life until it drops you beneath your surface maps of reality...

Though we pray to the many faces of God, each is a changing
wave in the sea of Divine Being... Any circumstance that
awakens us to that divine sea is a holy gift...

If courageous enough we might just slow down to the pace
of creation, where the pulse by which the mind thinks touches
the pulse by which the heart feels, and together they equal the
rhythm where Being plays in exact motion with all beings...

Nothing matters but emptying...
until the softness we call Spirit bubbles through the tongue
and words fail in utter adoration.
Nothing now but the need to be...

AFTERNOON
Wu Hsin - All of it occurs spontaneously
The Great Hall is full as we await his arrival. Master begins:
Suppose someone is one hundred years of age. It has been one hundred
years of becoming; becoming this, becoming that.
But these becomings, these movements from infant to adolescent to adult
to old man are changes appearing in the changeless.
Becoming is always of what one is not, it is always a movement away
from, a fractionalization of, what one is.
Let us not preoccupy ourselves with becoming.
Let us stay here, be here,
be.
Let us now return to the silence for a time.

Master Wu Hsin continued:
It is, in a way, perverse that there is so little to really discuss.
All there is, is being and the knowledge of being. This is irrefutable.
The discussion should end here because all else is conceptual and can be
argued endlessly.
Yet, we continue talking.
What must be made clear is that the brain is an object. As such, anything
resulting from brain activity cannot be subjective.
The subjective, the Single Subject, therefore remains elusive.

Master Wu Hsin continued:
One need not make any effort to be, to see, to taste, to smell, etc. All of it
occurs spontaneously.
Likewise, that which is seen, tasted, and smelled also arises and sets
spontaneously. The day begins spontaneously and ends spontaneously.
You don't will yourself to sleep or to awaken.
So, who is doing anything?
Where is the need for various practices in order to become what you
already are? See it, then be It.
Ponder this; more tomorrow.

Anything you do joyfully is always effortless.

It is essential to human beings to fall apart,
to fragment, disintegrate, and to experience the despair
that comes with a lack of wholeness.
To what can we turn, in this moment of crisis?

To what can we turn, in this moment of crisis?
I believe that it is at this critical moment that the possibility of creative living arises.
If we can let go of our previous identities and move into the experience of the void,
then the possibility arises for new forms of existence to emerge.

Poiesis,
the creative act,
occurs as the
death and re-birth of the soul.

The integration and affirmation of the psyche
are one and the same.
But this new identity only lives
in the actuality of the creative process.
We are called upon to constantly re-form ourselves,
to engage in what James Hillman calls
“soul-making”…..
The soul finds its form in art……
