What does it mean to rest in Who You Are?

His comment:
“Realising the truth happens by chance…Not easy at all..”
My response:
Indeed, Truth is neither difficult nor easy, it never lends itself to any label, it cannot be “realized” by purpose…Subsequently, when we search for truth, we only find projection..- so in that sense, yes…truth happens “by chance.”
To rest in “who you are” requires to give up Who You Are Not…
A better way to put it would be: Stop pretending, give up what you think you know and rest in not knowing anything…
On your own

When you most need someone, nobody´s there.
You are the pilgrim wandering in the land of the weary.
You feel lonelier than all deserts.
Your treading is unspeakable burden sometimes…
You are short of steps…
You creep, but you go on…
Your are the bearer of your own and others loneliness.

Oh, if we could remind us to celebrate life…
If not every moment, but now and then
during the day…
Yes, a little more Joy.
A little more childish trust and
healthy naivety.
A little more simplicity, generosity
towards yourself,
and the ones you meet on your way…
We easily forget…
Far too often, we fall victims of our “human” shortages
resenting everything, indulging in sorrow, pain
and despondency,
in fruitless guilt and regret,
bitterly complaining, forgetting the sky inside
and above us,
yes, forgetting To Love.
To love is to dare feel Joy…the simple joy
of trusting and opening to Life.
The Joy of gratitude…
I feel this joy now, this gratitude of
sharing these very words together with you
through endless time and space.
The answer might come in due time

Certain questions are so powerfully vivid so they better remain unanswered – as not the answer is essential, but the sense of pondering these questions trigger.

“Work” derives etymologically from the word torture. Being afraid of life, we have separated Being from Doing. “Doing” is survival, that is, fear of being or not being. We produce something out of fear of being…that is the thing called “Work”.
Since time immemorial, we have been persuaded that Life is supposed to be hard, a hell to defend yourself from, that making a living through sweat and toil is the only valid thing…Such a horrid and stupid idea that we still faithfully take as real…
“What is” always provides, but usually we are totally out of touch with knowing and trusting this.
Don´t make a living, MAKE A LIFE!
If you presently “make a living” with something you don´t like, I wouldn´t be so categorical to say “leave your job now”. Just learn to see and recognize fear, and gradually, having a clearer image of your improved self-worth, you will move on to a different level of confidence. In this renewed confidence you will learn to recognize the presence of What is, letting yourself be guided by It.
Trust this process!
Joy – the dreamless dream

Real Joy has no object. It is timeless, everlasting like a breath. It cannot be triggered, it is never a consequence or outcome of achievement, as whatever outcome perishes with its ephemeral cause.
This Joy is illogical, it is pure freedom. As it is unconditioned, its expressions are soothing and life-giving.
It is this memory-less joy which creates the object. It leaps merrily, in the shade and light of every shape…
It is boundless colour and the colourless dream…
Don´t search for it, as you will never find it…Gratefully stay a while and it might come to you…
