Alignment is the embodiment of non-separation,
sharing that space.

There is a way for beings, a way of harmony instead of struggle. More than harmony within just oneself, but a shared experience within and between beings. I call it the alignments. Within our true nature or innermost essence we discover the qualities of joy, light, love, compassion, balance, wellbeing, and creativity.

This practice has physical, mental, and emotional applications, but perhaps the most exciting aspect is in the area of human relationship.

Coming into relationship with the essential ground of being,
This alignment proves itself to be true through your own experience.

Harmony between beings,
Meet at the source.

The Mirror

Once in a time and place much like ours, there was a family who lived in a house where they had a full length mirror. Every morning Dad would stand in front of the mirror and tie his necktie, getting it just right. Mom would stop in front of the mirror to check Her hair and make up. The kids liked to look at themselves in the mirror too.

One day the mirror said "Everyday you each stand in front of me and I see you looking at yourself. I don't mind that except for one thing, I have never seen myself in a mirror and so I have no idea what I look like. Do you think you could bring another mirror here so that I may see exactly what I look like?"

The Dad and Mom looked at each other and Dad said "well, yes we could do that for you." So the family went out and got another nice full length mirror, brought it home and stood it right in front of their old mirror. The mirror was quiet for a moment, then smiled as it said "Aha! So that's who I am."

Thinking not required

The reason why the natural state is said to be thought free wakefullness is because there is a flow of natural awareness where there simply is no need for thought. This may sound rather odd, like it would be a kind of mindless unintelligence, but it is actually a stream of pure intelligence. In the ordinary waking state we are constantly thinking because thought is the medium we are conditioned to communicate with. In the natural state there is the flow of awareness and form. If you don't have flow you are struggling, thinking, thinking, constantly pushing or pulling at life as if nothing will happen without making a great effort.

"I, You and We, those imaginary beings" Rumi

If we remain attached to our story, there is no room for the light of truth to dawn.
