“Sitting quietly,
feel what sits there.
Explore this body you
sit in.
Observe the
scintillating field of sensation we call the body.
Notice sensation’s
wordless quality.
Its sense of simply
being humming throughout the body.
Go within sensation
to that subtle presence by which the sensation is known. Feel the sensation within sensation.
Settle into that
sense of being, of aliveness vibrating in each cell.
Rest in being.
Just sit quietly and
know. Let awareness sink into itself.
Know what knows.
Experience directly
that sense by which you imagine you exist.
Enter it
wholeheartedly. Sit in the center of
that hum.
Does it have a
beginning? Does it have an ending?
Or is there just a
sense of endless being, unborn and undying?
Don’t ask the mind,
which always limits itself with definitions, ask the heart, which cannot name
it but always is it.
Rest in being.”
“Original Face
Contemplation”
Stephen Levine
