The music that came together last night was inspired by Meister Eckart's pearl of wisdom:
"The eye with which I see God---is the same eye with which God sees me" which got him into a lot of trouble with the Pope 700 years ago!
Meister Eckart's realization implies our inherent divine natures which I suppose can be threatening to some.
Dancing together---the Bardo--- is one big eyeball.
As I mentioned last night, I don't think its an accident that eye---when you speak it---sounds exactly like "I".
Dancing together is the one place where we can leave the "me, myself and I" and enter the "seeing" of our inter-connectedness. I mentioned Indra's net which sounds alot like internet for very good reasons. The ancient God of Gods heavenly net that covered his palace is the perfect metaphor for the dance, it implies that at every corner where the net meets and connects---there is a jewel. And that jewel, because it is crystal clear, reflects all the other jewels---infinitum.
We are the jewels that meet and reflect the other when we dance. We get to experience ourselves---together---becoming the one dance---being danced.
Jack Hass says it beautifully:
Our selves exist only inrelation, whether it be with the earth, with others or with God. To realize this is to lose yourself in relation and more than that you are everything. The boundaries of separation weaken and dissolve, and only the integral bonds remain which produce the cosmic dance."
Thank you for showing up to dance together, the bardo, and being such awe-inspiring reflections.
