Always Already — Thoughts about alreadiness

“Already” is a loaded word.

“Already” means Now, the sheer now-ness of everything, everything is united as One in this precise immediate presence. Everything has this now-ness in common. Everything is pressed up against it and never separate from it.

It also means this imagined separate little me didn’t bring it — it brought me — it takes me along, it takes me in and has had full hold of me so fully that I AM THAT.  I was never NOT that.

It also means timelessness, in its absolute immediacy, its eternal alreadiness.

It also implies a certain peace, a timeless inherent stillness, without time for any movement or disturbance, peace beyond understanding.

Now I may set aside all this verbiage, and just quietly abide as what was always already here, as this presence-awareness.
