Seek the art of loosening knots.

Quick! Before your soul leaves your body.

Leave the nothing that seems like existence.

Seek the existence that seems like nothing.

~ Jalal id-din Rumi

translated by Iraj Anvar & Anne Twitty, Say Nothing

On this day of our 2016 presidential election in the United States,

It’s good to remind ourselves of this perspective of truth

of our lives and this world.

We are here to love, to care, to share, to trust.

We are here to seek the One Source of everything –

The Nothing.

We are here to see the Essence of the One

in the eyes and hearts

of each of our brothers and sisters;

To give everything to know Truth,

to have Nothing, to be Nothing;

To know the Reality of

the Essence of The One.

You are invited to join us tomorrow, Wednesday, November 9, 2016, for Now What? A Post-Election Debrief for Seekers – a FREE webinar/teleclass, hosted here on Essence of the One.
