Baby Steps

It is only a small BABY STEP from the word being to the experience of being. Look at this newborn. It is simply BEING! It has no incessant inner noise that prevents it from finding that realm of inner stillnesss and joy that is inseparable from being. It is simply in BLISS!!
As we age and accumulate baggage we create a false mind-made self that casts a shadow of fear and suffering. We also let others blemish our perception of ourselves with their hatred and judgement. Babies do not have that in their lives until they start interacting with humans.....sadly.
