Complete Me!

"Complete Me!" is our underlying mantra spoken by each of us as we go through life looking for one thing after another to complete us. Many of us search for our completeness in another saying: "You complete me". This feeling of wholeness is also searched for in material things buying one new thing after another in our search for happiness or wholeness.

What if we were already complete yet were distracted and focused on just one half of the balance between "Thing and NoThing"? Perhaps we need to look at the "nothing" side of this balance to gain perspective. It seems we can see and comprehend nothingness best by our observations of outer space with its vastness measured in billions light years. We know there is a lot of space or nothing out there yet we have trouble perceiving the same nothingness in our own inner space.

Our inner space is comprised of nothing between our molecules, atoms, and electrons which are held in orbit by an invisible field. This invisible field is where pure potentiality of creativity exists. Our lives are shaped and created by our intent and held thoughts that affect this invisible field thus creating our reality of things.

Space also may be found between the words we speak and our thoughts. It is said that it is the space between the bars that keeps the tiger caged. What if the unseen is more important than the seen? Perhaps we have the order reversed when we place emphasis on things first. Can't we remember that it is out of nothing that we manifest reality? This is the way creation works. Out of no thing comes some thing. So, we must place primary emphasis on the space of no-thingness and not the things.

So, if we are not our thoughts nor our things then we simply ARE. This state of "being-ness" is best experienced in the non-action and stillness of thought and deed. Quieting the mind and body allows us to catch a glimpse of our true selves being in a moment. Once the ego stops trying to protect its existence with mind chatter in turn influencing our emotions we are allowed to sit in the stillness of our being. Enjoy that moment. This "in-joy" is finding happiness within and not from outside ourselves. We are thus, "in-joy" with our selves. By simply being in the now of a single moment we can expand that space between our bars that keeps us caged.

What if, instead of focusing on: "Life being one damn thing after another", we remove the "damn thing" now reading: "Life. Being. ONE. After another"?
