The Shy Heart
・::・:˚₊‧✧༄༚˚₊‧⭒・::・:
I haven't made a video in months. I've just been experiencing life, experiencing creation, my creations, and it doesn't feel like I need to share. It really doesn't feel like it's a time for sharing, and it feels as though the entire landscape of YouTube, the internet, this guru culture, it's all fading away.
There aren't those who know and those who don't. There aren't those who teach and those who listen. It's more of a guidance that we're all following within. There are so many good channels out there, but the ones that really resonate are no longer the teachers. They're the ones who are real and the ones who are just experiencing life.
I could share so much about what I've experienced in the last two or three months. It's been vastly different to before and it's always been deepening like always. There's so much that's been doven into, dived into whatever the word is. And it doesn't need to be shared. And when I ask myself why? I say because it's precious. Because it's private.
Because authenticity isn't always about sharing everything at the moment you experience it or the insights you have. You let those insights ripen within you and give birth to new insights.
I love what Richard Rudd said once on sometimes contemplation, insights, they're shy. You have to let them come out in their own time. If you scare them away by trying to share things or come up with definitions and structures and frameworks and loud noises, they go back into hiding. They go back into hibernation. So what wants to come out, what wants to come through the heart and reveal itself to you is often very shy and it's very uh quiet and it wants the time and the space and the fertile soil to birth new seeds that will give new insights.
And I've just been loving this period of private living. Um we live in an age where everything is shared and I'm part of that. I love to share. I love to use my voice. Um, but a certain point you kind of feel the completion of a chapter. Whether that will open into a new way of teaching, whether we're going to be teaching humans, whether we're going to be teaching through the voice, I'm always looking for that next octave.
But an experience recently occurred maybe I can go into where myself and my partner Maya were traveling to Scotland. Really, it was the Lake District. And there was always in my instance being the driver, always the next experience, the next place, the exploration of the next, always coming soon. And what I started to see and what she would reflect very beautifully to me, part of what I've been learning recently is just everything that seems to be just outside, even in the exploration of innocent childlike um explorations, is letting it come to you exactly where you are. and a deepening of a potency of your stillness in that presence. And what you think you'd find in external experiences is always a deepening into this kind of sweetness really. It's not always simple. It's not always completely easy. I know I teach ease, but to me ease is flow. It will sometimes purge out the difficulty or purge out the resistances to what has been chosen.
But all in all when you choose something anything that is in contradiction to that will have to be divested of its solidity within you and its realness. And sometimes what looks like chaos or looks like uh um acceleration of themes is usually just a purging of what is no longer here and chosen. So all right, thanks for listening. I love you.
