It is intimacy we want not enlightenment… (take 2)

It is intimacy we need not enlightenment.  The embrace of all ordinary life is the means by which we realize the source of all life. Paradoxically we could now call this “enlightenment.” But it does not arise as a result of the attempt to overcome desires or step back from experience as “witness consciousness” or the awareness principle that is so often sold to us. The certainty of nurturing source reality arises naturally as a consequence of all our ordinary intimacies. In time this may become more and more absorbing and interesting without denying or dissociating from arising conditions. We die in the final abandonment of all related ness into the nurturing source of our life.
Source reality springs forth like fountain from the heart and spirals in all directions to the base and crown, left and right like a flower in full bloom, the floral intelligence of life. The seat of Shakti, (Nurturing Source Reality) is the hrid not the base.
The whole body therefore is the heart or hrid. The whole body is the “temple” from where the heart is shining and indeed creates the temple, its beauty, perfection, appearing as the extreme intelligence of your life. The heart or hrid is where left merges with right, above with below, front with back, inhale with exhale, strength with receptivity, male with female, within and without, where heaven meets earth and spirit takes form.
It has a specific location, “the heart on the right,” as source of body and mind but cannot be willfully located. It is felt only in and as the body’s life given relatedness and natural state.
It is said, “the hrid is from where the mind arises.” The mind and all experience seems to arise from this profundity of feeling at the heart. The Bible too says, “the mouth speaks from the depth of the heart.”
It is a depth and location that cannot be intentionally or willfully discovered but naturally felt when the whole body is relaxed and participating in its life and relationships. ie “Love thy neighbor as thy self” the Bible too gives this exacting Yoga instruction!
