Stop pretending to be the moon and rest as the self-shining sun.

In the night sky the moon shines brightly yet its light comes entirely from the sun. That bright moonlight is simply reflected sunlight.

The relationship between the light of the moon and the sun is analogous to the relationship between the apparently separate me and that life- giving presence.

Seeing this, the invitation is to let go of the habit of referencing as the me and settle back as that base awareness, that life giving presence that is always here.

What you truly are is that beginning-less endless presence, that self- shining sun illuminating everything.

Stop pretending to be the moon and rest as the self-shining sun.
