Find Your Middle Ground

* Inspiration – Into the deep

—

” The way is not really a way.
It is a depth.
It is not a distance.
It is a deepening into the stillness, deepening in the unmoving.
It is not a walking journey.
Journeys are for the body and the ego-mind.
But listening takes you deeper into the bliss of the unknowable. “*

Let these words guide you towards that deep and secret place of bliss.

Namaste

    Shared respectfully, Val, I believe journeys can be immensely deep and spiritual. They need not brush the ego-mind at all. This from a practitioner of deep listening and inner anchoring.

    Another wow from you! Can’t stop myself, however, from having a small thought that there are odd times when bliss seems at an unfathomable depth!

      Thank so much Paul. 💛
      Surrendering in this way is not easy as there are many layers to go through. In yoga they are called the koshas.

    I copied the words to this very deep message and mailed them off to my youngest daughter who wishes to become enlightened. I will try to read this and live more into the stillness.
    Going into the unknowable is bliss, I cannot imagine but enjoyed this very much, Val. xo hugs, Robin

    Beautiful words with deep meaning. The deep and secret place for bliss is within us. And so as Osho says “Be – don’t try to become”!

    Namaste!

● About Me

My name is Val Boyko, a dual citizen living near Philadelphia, originally from Scotland.

This blog came to life one morning in 2013.  I woke up with these words in my mind:  “Life is a series of highs and lows. Be grateful for the highs. Be graceful in the lows. And find contentment in your Middle Ground.”

Find Your Middle Ground blog started to explore, reflect, ask deep questions, share insights about awakening, and connect with wonderful people like yourself. Thank you for being here and being such an inspiration.
