What follows could be complete and utter bullshit. You'll have to inquire into it and see how it shows up for you.
A true way of being could come forward as easy or hard, quick or slow, shitty or lovely. All of these possibilities have historical precedent. Who knows how it will be for you or anyone? What if we simply allowed the full, non-avoiding honesty of consciousness to go wherever it wants to go without any assumptions, presumptions, conclusions, concepts, etc., of what, why or how it will or won't happen as a result, and then simply see what arises as it moves into any presumed "issue", i.e. body, mind, feelings, thoughts, volitions, intuitions, relationships, etc.? How it will work out for you may not be how it works out for someone else. And then again it might. The fruit of absolute honesty of consciousness is in becoming warmly endarkened. We can only bring light to the kind of dark places that we can genuinely BE in, without light. Profound "okayness" (allowing, non-resistance, suchness, presence, etc.) - as is - allows us to be okay in the midst of any kind of piercing. If we are fully surrendered to an unconditional honesty of consciousness, then it's just as easy to be okay in sweetness as in piercing. The truth is: one feels good and the other does not. It's what is - as is.
The odd thing to me is that no one "needs" any "okayness." We can let ourselves be unconditionally okay with never, ever being okay again. Okayness is not a feeling, nor a thought. It is the way of inner honesty and surrender emptying itself into itself, which comes from itself, by itself. Truth reveals Truth. There's no charity in it. It's just honestly not knowing where, how or why it would be most true for Truth to be poured. What we do know is to allow Truth to pour wherever, however. It's like recognizing that whatever we are presently not okay with in our thoughts, feelings, intuitions, body and will, is in the deepest innermost of our being actually okay - as is - and then we can easily, or difficultly or gently or tenderly, or bloodily LET GO. Whatever we lose was never ours. And whatever we could possibly gain will never be for us. Truth is consummate freedom of consciousness. And it never ends. Yours in full prostration.
