Silent Celebration, Gratitude and Praise

This week we went from the presumption of separation to the path of discrimination (separating what we essentially are from all temporary experience, leading to deep self-investigation, self-abidance), to the way of surrender (openness without resistance to all experience), to the way of love (recognition that the being we essentially are is shared with everyone and everything). There is just the one, and everyone and everything is that. Where do we go next? Two, not mutually exclusive, possibilities we can alternate between: 1) silently going back to our activities and relationships in the world as just our best expression of this love and understanding, even without ever speaking about it; 2) living a life of creativity, gratitude, praise, and love, where our activities and relationships are our unique and best expression or celebration of this gratitude, praise, and love. In our own lives, silence on the inside; celebration, gratitude, praise on the outside.
