Everything changes nothing stays the same

“Everything changes, and nothing stays the same.”

This insight was another of the powerful ones that emerged during a Meditation/Inquiry for someone at last weekend’s Self Realisation Retreat with 17 people (in-person and online: India, USA, Sweden, Portugal, UK).

Everyone could witness and feel the power of it particularly by the reaction and dialogue that was unfolding with them. It was beautiful and words wouldn’t do it justice.

This kind of direct experiential Realisations emerges when there’s a humility, willingness, openness to one’s true nature.

It’s a space I’ll often refer to as “I know nothing” allowing the Universal Wisdom to emerge from within.

This one points directly to fundamental truth that the nature of this physical domain is always changing and our essence (Infinite Silence/Awareness/Consciousness) is the unchanging backdrop. They are, however, not separate but one unified whole.

It’s in the identification with, attachment to and most crucially the belief in the separate self (and everything or thingness) that suffering occurs. The embracing of experiential realisation of unity that can’t be put into words is what will ultimately bring the suffering to an end.

In this case one could visibly see all of that being recognised, felt, embraced and identifications, attachment and belief being dissolved. It was powerful and joyful to witness. It also helps the one experiencing this to just be in the palpable presence of stillness silence. This is often reported.

This stillness silence is within us all anytime, anyplace anywhere and this is one of the many reasons the Infinite Silence Meditation which emerged as part of the Realisation is so powerful.
