Clouds of Consciousness, Confusion, and Conflicts

Good evening!

 

We just saw the deep, dark blue sky and dark, dim-lit clouds threatening to snow and storm. Out of blue, tumultuous air colliding at a cold front, lightning, thunder, and sudden storming start.

 

Our mind is like that deep sky, but out of blue clouds of consciousness, confusion and conflicts come with thunder and storms. When we sit solid and stable, however, clouds disperse, our minds become still and serene in deep vast space.

 

Here is unconditioned peace with unsurpassed awakening that anyone can come to witness. If we can maintain this vast, deep, calm and clear state, there will be no clouds created, no snow storming, no hail hitting, and no damage done.
