No, There Is Nothing You Must Do

Oh, but there is. Oh no, there isn’t. The so-called ego, skewered by nondualists, tells us we must to this or that. And then we get to blame stress for our problems.

Ah, but the argument is real. Everything is real. Still when you take a breath, there’s nothing we or anyone must do.

In other words, freedom is ours. Sacred and precious. Intimately one with our destiny.

Because we are infinite in temporality, we can achieve things almost instantly. And then we see that being free is the answer. Here I am typing like a mad fool, yet I know simultaneously —

There is nothing I or anyone must do.

Ever.

We create the stress.

We create the compulsion.

Priests who say to this or that, You must or you will burn — that sort of thing — forget that we have inner weaponry. It is a still small voice that says, “You’re free!” Choice is our destiny.

To see this is a liberty worth more than gold, far more. It will not endear you to cliques when they see your inner freedom. But you are more the lover for it.

LOVE POWER confirms your consciousness. Your consciousness ensures your eternal reality. Beyond material, beyond apparent tragedy.

LOVE POWER says, Do as you will. Say, You can’t budge me. I stand by the waters like a tree. And I will not be moved.
