Describe Adonis, And The Counterfeit Is Poorly Imitated After You.
No words or concepts can capture this, whatever it is we're attempting to describe. There is no true path to it. There is no perfect pointer. Labeling it "unconditional love, that accepts all and cannot reject itself" or "the only constant, awareness, the center around which life flows" is unimportant. There is no manual that describes the perfect way to be. Words describing immediate, direct experience, where there is no doer, only what is done, are still a description. Whether the ego is rejected, or seen through and embraced, doesn't matter. Whether frantic seekers "get this" or not matters not; if not getting it is what is, that is what is. Perhaps meditation is the key, and the drooping seeker finally rests in awareness, directly and flawlessly, just pure being. That may be the goal, but it is no better or worse than any other. Whether the conditioning of the mind/body is broken down and dissected and finally defeated, or whether that conditioning is seen as the character, choiceless and not needing any meddling with - neither of these is the goal; or perhaps, both of them are. Whatever it is, it is this. Whatever this is, it is. Life is its own purpose, and the appearance of life is simply what is seems to be, whatever that is. There's no way to get it wrong; there's no way to get it right. Whatever your responses or reactions seem to be, they are perfect. No matter how definitively absolute awareness is described, it is nothing more nor less than this; and even such simplicity is only a description. There is nobody that needs to "awaken". We are all "awake", whether it is seen as "there is no one", or whether it is seen as "there is only love"; whether it is insisted upon that awakening can never occur without others, or that awakening must occur in solitude; whether a lucid life, seen through as a dream, is taken hold of and lived to the fullest, or whether a complete surrender happens and the doer is taken for a wild ride, in free-fall. It is all just as it is.

Words of clear seeing. Greatly appreciated here. Thank you, love.
You're welcome Sweetie!
Boots! :-D
Wearing hats.
Or hats wearing boots.
lol, its a bit frustrating to me knowing im awake yet im asleep still. I just want to wake up and re-discover whatever i've been this whole time!
That was a lovely piece :)
I feel most awake when I'm having a snooze after lunch. Dreaming on a full stomach is more real than waking up on an empty one.
Suzanne! The Seeing-Knowing is so full, so eloquent-beyond-words. Thank you so much. I Love You.
Whoa, Charlie! I am honoured. Does this mean I go on your list of favourites?
Bananas - obviously, being satiated is what you always need.
liberatedself - you are what you are. Wherever you go, there you are!
VERY nice.

Lenny! You've been missed.
I miss seeing the long-haired girl and the beautiful clown. Please send them my regards, as I had grown quite fond of them.
Nothing to miss, Brenda - they are you too. In a manner of speaking!
