“Further.” — Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters
So step back again.
Further.
Further.
Feel the room.
Feel the earth.
Feel the solar system.
Feel the galaxy.
Feel the UNIVERSE.
Feel.
Be it ALL.
Awareness becomes so big—because awareness is all there really is. It’s the sole truth.
We can argue about the contents of awareness—those are subjective.
But awareness itself?
Undeniable.
It’s the big one.
“Cognosco, ergo sum.”
(I am aware, therefore I am.)
It’s not just being aware of everything…
It’s being aware of awareness.
It’s a distinct and identifiable state.
And when you drop into it—
Your body shifts.
You sit upright.
Your breath deepens.
Your chest opens.
You become the Great Eye in the Sky.
You are the Beholder.
It’s not a person. Not a thing.
It’s a state of truth more real than anything else.
But if you stop there—
You’re a monk in a cave, staring at a wall for 80 years, achieving Nirvana.
Cool. (I guess...)
But we’re not here for that. (Are we?)
Remember what I said about Rick Rubin earlier this week?
You gain space on your cushion…
So you have more space in real life.
Space to hold the feminine storm of CHANGE.
That’s the game.
Awareness so vast it holds everything.
Then you step forward—as a man—
With direction, decision, choice, focus, and the discipline to stay with it.
You don’t run from the feminine.
You penetrate it.
With presence.
With love.
With unwavering eyes.
But that presence has to be run through your heart.
That… is… the secret.
It’s a lot of work.
But this is what you were born to do.
Not to chase enlightenment in some dusty cave.
You’ll get that when you die.
You were born to fuck the world open with your love.
With your presence, direction, and focus.
Want a better marriage?
Better health?
More money?
More meaning?
Certainty?
Purpose?
This is the way.
Not a religion.
A yoga.
A union with what is.
And what is?
Someone experiences something.
That someone is the masculine.
That something is the feminine.
And experience…
Is the human art.
The game.
The expression.
The antidote to boredom.
The adventure of your life.
Let’s light this sacred fire.
