Headless

Thanks heavens I can loose my head occasionally. Well when I remember to practice being headless. I first came across this practice many years ago when on a Rebirthing workshop in Glastonbury. A fellow Rebirther spoke about it and for some reason it impacted on me. It interested me, like so many things at that time (after all I was a veracious seeker, that was another one to my collection of answers) and I did not truely get the impact of what it was showing at the time. But then later on after reading On Having No Head by Douglas Harding and trying out his experiments, I got more value out of it.
If you are interested click on the link above and try out the experiments yourself.
As I have practiced this it has given me more and more insights. Some of them put me into a space where I have realised something that has been concept for so long. Words of wisdom from great teachers have (for a short while at least) been real.
What I have realised with this and through the culmination of all my seeking is that I have to be willing to let go of being a seeker. By its nature it will prevent me from finding.

The limitations of language have been thrown to light with a conversation I was having with one of my daughters. We were talking about seeking and finding truth and a question she asked me rather than setting me off on a path of answering her, an explosion happened internally where there were many answers at once. Anyone of these answers would have fitted but was not enough. What I wanted, was to convey the whole experience. It was as if the experience/answer more than the sum of the little answers.
Is this not what we do with all our lives? Take a little bit of things, separate and isolate them. This includes our the way we see ourselves as a small separate object within something larger. When in fact we are something infinite and without boundaries that contains everything else. As the Course in Miracles says - There is nothing outside of you.
In fact the other day I picked up ACIM and opened it expecting to get just what I needed to read, as so often happens. But not this time. I was on a lesson so I went to the next, then the next and so on. Then suddenly it hit me, I had turned to lesson 36 which says - My holiness envelopes everything I see. Bang, there I was Headless again.
