Be Still

Be Still
This is the only real spiritual practice.

Be still.

If you think you are being still or you experience stillness, stillness has not yet been reached because there is still a you who experiences or is aware of stillness.

This you is the obstacle between you and stillness.

In reality, there has never been a you, a self. There is only ever stillness. You may call it God or the Self. It does not matter. It has no name. Names only appear in the dream of a self.

People think that meditation or mantra or devotion are spiritual practices, but these are only practices of the ego, for there is still someone, the ego, doing the practices. These are practices of a dream, in a dream, for a dream self. As long as there is a doer, an experiencer, a perceiver, a self doing spiritual practices, it will only ever be a dream, and no progress toward awakening will be possible.

The very idea of practice is an illusion. There has only ever been the perfect bliss of Stillness, God, or Self. There is no one to practice, and nothing to practice, nor anything to practice for, just as there is no path. All of this is a dream distracting us from the One Reality that is always here.

So, just be still.

Let the dream of you go.

Don’t ask how to be still, as if there were a method to reach stillness.

Stillness is always here.

You are not. You are just a dream.
Let the dream of you go, and you will realize stillness alone is always here.

Be still.

That is all.

Be still.
