This touched me deeply - gave me an internal tremble when I read it: "You become so totally at-one with it, that you no longer build internal references, structures and judgments around the situations. It is in these totally lucid moments you become absolutely authentic and free."

Lately I have recognized how I stop the emotion (experience, heat, whatever it is) before experiencing it. When I get to actually experiencing the heat, I'm fine (maybe uncomfortable or disoriented, but fine), but there is a pattern of resistance that sets in before I even know what the heat is, or more accurately, before I even know there is heat! The resistance feels two-fold: My "past" taught me that it isn't ok to feel what I feel, and my mind thinks that if I "understand" the feeling first, I will somehow manage it and perhaps control an outcome (avoidance of the heat). So this article is timely for me, as well as I've been committing to simply being present to what is, even when I'm either very slow or unable to perceive it. I find that dealing with whatever it is in the moment isn't a way of living supported by the matrix, but it is fully and beautifully supported by my soul. And that is what I choose. :)
