Where is the Love in the Moment?
For years and years I read that phase and had no real idea what it meant. So, you want to be constantly hunting for love in the moment? Okay...I guess? But that just wasn't how I have spent my time, nor has that been a way for me to advance spiritually, except maybe indirectly. sometimes But now I get it and it is fantastic.
I recently became aware of a spiritual teacher who led me in a few minutes to a place inside "beyond perception" which is pure intoxicated joy, in it's more intense form. It may be relaxed and simply happy, or it may be fizzing with primal-eternal joy.
So, now I understand the titular question to mean, where is that joy spot? Just shift into that state (in less than a second) which feels like one's core being and, lo, there is the bubbling joy-love.
If you find that love in the eternal moment, then equanimity of being reigns as the self is playfully pulled into a found sense of True Self, as into the most loving maelstrom. I find it purely astonishing, a perfect counterpart to the exhausting maelstrom of the outward-anchored experience of "reality." It is truly--and very obviously--worthy of praise and thanksgiving.
Honestly, I would have never believed it if I had merely read about it in an internet posting like this. Funny, eh?
