Full Moon Reflection

The moon is never not full;
it's just light changing the shape of what we see.

You are never not whole;
it's just shadow changing the shape of what you see.

______

The nature of the self-study is two-sided.

On the one hand, we need motivation and drive to engage (and stay engaged) as we go through the proverbial peaks and valleys of the awakening process.

Breaking through emotional blocks, focusing our minds, and gaining a direct perception of our wholeness, often requires a lot of work.

______

On the other hand, the idea that we are somehow not inherently whole is itself a misperception.

Sure, we might not feel whole. We might feel far from it. But just because our experience of wholeness is overshadowed doesn't mean it's not there.

We're naturally confused to think that we need to look outside of ourselves or acquire things to feel the fulfillment of wholeness; it is coded in the DNA of our cultural matrix.

_____

Tantra flips the script entirely by suggesting that the drive we have to seek wholeness is our wholeness pinging us from the inside out.

It's been there all along; we just have to turn toward and recognize it.

_______

On this Full moon, the invitation is to reflect on your relationship to your inherent wholeness.

With a meditative awareness, consider how the notion that there is a future horizon line that will bring you wholeness might be the only thing separating you from the actual experience of wholeness.

And if, in your present-day reality, it will serve you best to take action, dive deep, and light a fire of transformation to discover it, by all means, do that. But watch what shifts when you go into such an endeavor with the knowledge that you are, in fact, already whole.

Happy full moon.

With love,
Kevin
