Everything is the Shining Forth

Every experience is a universe of ultimately indescribable and unresolvable qualities and characteristics. Experiential phenomena are so fluid, paradoxically here and present at the same time, unfindable and ungraspable, never quite taking clear shape or form owing to their relentlessly shape-shifting nature.

Each momentary flash of life—even those moments we find challenging to navigate—are at the same time a vast and bottomless sea, constantly moving and shifting, like the tides.

This discovery reveals that even those experiences we conventionally think of as problematic are actually astonishingly rich and luscious movements of life itself. Every moment, regardless of its conventional label, is nothing less than the mysterious, inexplicable shining forth of reality.

To be sure, certain experiences can bring us to our human knees. And yet from another vantage, those same difficult experiences can be realized to be the most exquisitely beautiful mystery and miracle.

The bottomless bottom line is that every experiential phenomenon is so far beyond anything we could ever imagine or conceive of it to be.
