Ordinary Zen: Transcendence

TRANSCENDENCE
 
Affirm: *I trust myself*
 
This is the portal of knowing.
Where you forget who you were,
so that what you are can come forward.
 
Creation does not arrive with effort.
It arrives like fever.
Like breath you didn’t take—
but was taken for you.
 
It feels like being touched
by something you never summoned,
but always belonged to.
 
This is not solitude.
This is union.
Where you merge with all the souls
who have ever asked for what you are now willing to give.
The cost is the relinquishing
of the fragile grip of selfhood.
The reward—
is the feeling of that.
 
It can be quiet.
It can be loud.
It is always vulnerable.
Often terrifying—
to be overtaken by what is so real, but not reality you know.
To be danced by the mystery
you once thought you had to control.
Or that you even could.
 
But still—
everything holds.
Nothing falls apart.
Because you were never the one holding it together.
You have only ever been asked
to let it take you.
 
This is not a portrait to look at.
This is a portal to tune into.

Each portrait is named for the frequency it carries— a portal into a state of being that lives beyond the frame. Let them move you. Let them speak to the part of you that knows.
