Bigger Knowing

"..the warrior feels self-contained, with no need for external reference points to confirm him. Part of modesty is an underlying brilliance, being self-contained but shining out. The warrior's awareness shines out with tremendous inquisitiveness, a keen interest in everything around him. You begin to see things as natural messages, rather than as reference points  for your existence." ~ Chogyam Trungpa 
This mornings meditation was on the above words from Trungpa's book, Shambhala The Sacred Path of the Warrior. For the first time I feel the wisdom of the Universe shining through me. I was manifesting as a mirror. My sense of self became more of a reflective channel not disappearing but instead absorbed by the radiance of Universal truth. I was like an arrow shot through a bale of hay, moving through with purpose touching the awakened energy within in the straw along the flight path. There was no sense of having to stick or hit the mark.
