Rod to Piet, Heloisa and Maria

Piet, Heloisa, Maria

Tonight I did a meditation on no-causality. After reaching a state of now-ness which was centered & focused, I asked how I got to where I was at that moment. And where was I going next.

I realized that there was no "getting to where I was at that moment." I would be in the Now no matter what I had done in the Past. In fact, there was no need to do anything at all to be Now. Now is here no matter what I do or don't do. Now is completely independent of what I do or don't do!

Now just is.

And to the question of where I was going "next," I found that I had not the least clue. The frame of now was so fine & narrow that it unfolded in ways I could not possible predict. I had no sense of "doing this, then that will happen," no sense of Cause & Effect. I came there from no-where, and I went from there to no-where else. I was just there, at that moment, centered in nothing.

From that sensation, I saw things not as a Cause & Effect sequence of events, but as ripples flowing in & out in all directions from Now. I was in a pool of being instead of following a linear path.
