Being conscious is
cutting through your own melodrama
and being right here.
Exist in no mind, be empty, here now,
and trust that as a situation arises,
out of you will come what is necessary
to deal with that situation
including the use of your intellect
when appropriate.
Your intellect need not be
constantly held on to
to keep reassuring you
that you know where you’re at,
out of fear of loss of control.
Ultimately, when you stop identifying
so much
with your physical body
and with your psychological entity,
that anxiety starts to disintegrate.
And your start to define yourself
as in flow with the universe;
and whatever comes along ~
death, life joy, sadness ~
is grist for the mill of awakening,
Not this versus that
but
whatever.
-Ram Dass
