The Sense of Something Missing
La sensación de que algo falta
Notice the restless feeling that something is missing, let it be without fixing it, and discover the fullness already present in each passing moment.
The Sense of Something Missing
Notice any sort of sense of expectation and anticipation,
of looking for or longing for the next moment,
or for something to happen, to shift or change.
And as with every sensation or emotion,
we can recognize it as just part of experience, part of what's happening.
We can take it to be real,
to be important,
to be the way things are.
If we take it to be real,
if we take it to be the way things are,
then there will be the sensation that something is needed,
something is missing,
something does need to happen.
This creates the loop, the anticipation.
So notice this; right now it is very likely appearing in some form.
It is at the root of the distress,
the dissatisfaction.
The sense of craving for something that's not here.
The craving that is felt in the flesh,
the discomfort in the body,
the lack of ease.
Making space for it
And the way through is to recognize this sense of anticipation and longing,
this expectation for the next moment.
Let it be as it is,
just an appearance,
just a sensation,
not something to resolve.
In a sense, making space for it.
No need for it to change,
no attempt for it to change,
and not seeing it as fundamentally real.
We assume it is an illusion,
not ultimately real,
and at the same time,
we do not try to change it or resolve it.
Just the perfect balance,
allowing the illusion to be:
the sense of lack,
the sense of anticipation,
something needed,
even if very subtle.
And slowly, in this balance,
allowing the illusion to be,
we enable reality to pierce through,
the apparently hidden truth behind the veil.
What is already here
What we're looking for is already here.
Beauty is here.
Freedom is here.
The bright, translucent, infinite presence.
Clear, alive, miraculous, mysterious.
Colors, shapes, sounds, sensations,
imaginations, thoughts, all one field,
empty and full.
What is craved for is the intimacy with all experience.
The full immersion:
sounds, colors, shapes, sensations and thoughts.
So close,
so intimate.
This is always available.
Each appearance as celebration
A sound appears and is a celebration,
a divine creation,
a precious instant that comes and dissolves,
out of emptiness into nothingness.
A thought appears,
a beautiful celebration,
a miracle of mind.
It comes.
Then it goes, disappears into nothingness.
Sensations appear,
shift and move and change,
a celebration.
Colors and shapes and forms,
a miraculous kaleidoscope,
moving, changing, shifting,
everything appearing out of emptiness,
dying into the next shapes, into the next forms.
Everything, all of what is known.
Absolute perfection.
Total celebration.
This moment
The human experience,
the body, the mind, the heart.
The gift of this celebration,
the doorway,
the path,
unique,
never before,
never again, this form.
This moment.
At any moment,
you can imagine what should be different,
what is missing,
go into thoughts, and crave, desire.
Taste this moment more and more, deeply and intimately.
Let it reveal the infinite depths of beauty and love.
Let it reveal the infinite creativity,
and dance with it, celebrate,
create from it.
Not because something is missing,
but because of the celebration,
the love for what is.
