The Mystery Within*

There is a strange space deep within you and me

—and it’s very, very empty.

We might want to call it our quiet core

—a special inner zone of penetrating silence.

It is so soundless, in fact, that most people don’t even know it exists.

Yet, it’s the silent power behind our human ‘everything.’

If we let ourselves hang out there, observing it,

we would quickly realize that

it’s the creative source of everything we are, know and love.

It’s the silent essence of WHO WE ARE as humans.

What is this silent space?

I like to call it our “zone of inner mystery!”

That’s right, MYSTERY!

And it’s our personal source. It’s our very own unexplainable,

magical, and mystical MYSTERY.

There’s nothing at all human about this magical realm, you know.

Our human logic, reason and energy aren’t even allowed here.

In this sub-human zone, everything human about us melts away.

All that’s left is this silent internal home:

this home of, you guessed it, pure mystery.

Yet, this strange home hosts the most amazing magician

that we could ever meet, albeit an intangible and formless one.

A magician that boasts a mighty super-magical power:

the ability to create something—even anything— from nothing!

By rights, we could choose to call it our very own Super-Hero!

What is this mystery-filled space, this mystery-filled super-power?

It is nothing less than the unspeakable quantum void,

our very own quantum source.

How do you and I access this realm of mystery within us?

How do we find our way into this mystery-rich inner world?

How do we discover its gifts and bathe in its creative powers?

It’s not necessarily easy to find, you know.

This inner space is not actually listed on any of our published maps

and our trained human logic is pretty clueless to help us.

Nonetheless, I have four general suggestions—call them general guidelines—

that might give you some hints to finding your way there.

The first two are personal, more human steps that you can take,

while the last two, being more mystical and beyond-human,

will be completely taken care of by the magician within:

LET GO:

· Let go of all your wishes and desires,

· Let go of your pet theories and beliefs,

· Let go of all your cherished attachments.

· Let go of your sense of human self or identity

BECOME NEUTRAL:

· Stop trying to understand everything.

· Stop evaluating and interpreting everything.

· Stop looking for meaning and fulfillment.

· Discontinue every effort to control your life.

· Develop a neutral mind, one that no longer has to think.

DISSOLVE:

· Melt away (without resistance).

· Forget (everything)

· Release (everything).

· Give up (everything).

· Fall down the rabbit hole (willingly).

BECOME:

· Undefined.

· Silent.

· Empty

· Nothing.

· Nowhere.

· The Mystery.

I’ve included these four approaches only as a helpful reference.

Of course, you are unique not only as a human personality

but also in the ways that you wisely embrace your quantum nature.

So please “let go” of your traditional humanness,

“dissolve” into utter emptiness and

“become” the quantum being that you feel called to be

—in the ways that express your own internal truth and compass.

Finally, I want to remind us that, as the saying goes,

“There is power in numbers.”

We are a quantum community, a supportive team, a unified consciousness.

The quantum source—our root system of profound mystery—

is calling each and all of us, individually and together.

As a result, “an amazing grace” is present to you and me,

individually and together, right here, right now.

And that grace is already in the process of taking over the reins

of your dive into mystery.

To express this truth more personally I, Bill, am present to you—

one with your spirit,

one with your heart

and one with you

in the mystery of your quantum core.

Together, we are a winning combination!

Welcome to the MYSTERY within!

QUANTUM SOURCE ... QUANTUM WORLD ... QUANTUM VOID ... QUANTUM YOU!
