Letting go of all ideas
In this untethered vitality
Being an idiot, a fool
We are intoxicated
In this frenzied love
There is a saying, to have nowhere to go and nothing to do.
What this means is, when we finally confront this true Love, this God shining, our self and our will are abandoned, and there we are, fools, way-less.
Non-doing is not an idea. It is a description of this abandonment.
And we learn to function in this new framing, and it takes our whole life to give in to it completely. What is it to be a fool? I can’t tell you.
All thoughts of skill or control are obliterated in this confrontation with God. It is not that we decide to let go of the control. It is that our honest confrontation with God obliterates this possibility. We are wiped clean. Blank canvases.
We are fools, walking around, crying, giggling, not knowing what is going on, floating in this realm of choice-less intoxication
Are we mad? Are we sane? Are we good? Are we bad? Love is speaking, and I don’t know what it will say
Some of you have a hidden supernova in your heart. Do you think you can contain that forever? It must be set free
Some of you have come to a place of unknown, and can’t find joy in anything you used to. All of your motivation seems unknown or forgotten. Some of you are in the midst of open heart surgery in your process. You can’t leave the table, but must persist, magnetized deeper and deeper into this turning toward it.
What wells up in you when you are at your most vulnerable, most honest ? Can that be anything other than Grace?
You say you are wild… well turn inward and use all of your intensity to let go into this huge love bursting forth
How do you let go when you don’t know what you’re letting go into? The courage of someone who does this liberates them. Gives them freedom. This is the true person with nothing to do.
The understanding which comes from this inner mechanism of opening is what gives someone the ability to help others through the process.
In time, you’ll see God, and you, and no division
True love means to be Self-less and Way-less

In my healing journey so far, the word abandonment has almost exclusively been associated with emotional wounds.
"Non-doing is not an idea. It is a description of this abandonment."
This line helps take some of the sting out of that word for me.
Lovely post. So many poignant prompts to steep in from it. Thanks for sharing, Corey.
