We all fall asleep.
We all fall in love.
We all fall out of our incessant mind chatter at times,
and it leaves us
undistracted and present to life.
This is ordinary and experienced by all.
We fall into a quiet space, always there beneath the chatter,
yet we rarely
realize the power and magnitude of this space.
For centuries mystics have called this inner space, Consciousness.
Look within.
We can all sense and intuit this space.
It is the very essence of the sense “I exist”.
It is the deepest sense of just being.
It has endless depth.
When our personal thinking falls quiet and still,
we can sense this
Silence, this I Am.
This is the always-present backdrop to our experience.
Some call it the eternal Witness, or Awareness.
Some call it Presence…our presence…God’s Presence within us.
Some call this our Soul…our True Self…Home.
The deeper we realize the truth and fact of this always-present,
fundamental
Principle, the more we are drawn to it as if it is a
powerful magnetic
force.
Little self merges into big Self.
A river merges into the ocean…the Ocean of Consciousness.
The greatest Mystery of life is that out of this Great
Nothingness
all of life is
created.
Fall into this vast Openness and
we are enlivened,
renewed,
surprised,
healed,
uplifted.
Touch this space and our consciousness rises.
It must.
We will see anew with more and more love and understanding.
We wake up from the dark, limiting reality of our egoic
thinking,
and we discover a
new world of love and understanding.
We fall awake.
We fall into Love.
We fall into the Heart of the Universe and discover it is
our heart.
This Principle of Consciousness, the essence of well-being,

continue to explore with all who wish to join us in either of the following
