No Hope ... No Fear

No hope ... No fear
Just This ...
No hope ... No fear
Just This ...
No attachment ...
No aversion ...
Just This ...
Just This .... as it is
Pure ... clear ... real ...
true ... lasting ...
Just This ... Just This ...
As it is.
Sitting in This all can be accomplished with ease, as the Unity, beyond duality, beyond hope and fear ... This as it is, does it.
This too is not quite so. From This, it's already done ... it's this simple.
Pure effort is no effort at all. Without the two unconscious flows, the pull and the push ... the hope and the fear ... it always already is!
This is the miracle of manifestation: To be able to sit in this place of pre-thought ... pre-feeling, in this Empty Cognizance and simply be awake and aware of all and everything ... the next step will take care of itself ... naturally ... without any need of hope or fear.
This will allow for the process of pure manifestation to take place.
If we simply sit in the Eternal Vastness we quickly come to see that any manifesting from hope or fear always leads to suffering. Always ... Why?
To hope is to wish it to be something other than what is, so we reconstuct what already is into something else ... one step removed from Truth, from what is real, thus creating karma, thus creating effects that need to be dealt with in some future moment.
And to fear is to wish it to be something other than what is, but in the opposite direction ... pushing ourselves away from what we imagine the manifested outcome to be, yet is not. Thus, also creating karma to be dealt with in some future moment.
To sit in Eternal Vastness, as Eternal Vastness ... only what's True, Real and Lasting is and always will be ... even through our manifestations, as we have not allowed the pull and push of our hopes and fears to take charge. It is this simple.
With each breath, we choose the life we live. From Eternal Vastness, as Eternal Vastness the shadows of hope and fear don't exist. Yet, the miracle is that we still can and do function in the world as before ... better than before simply because Empty Cognizance becomes ... not hope or fear.
