Even This: Holding the World in the Heart of Awareness

In the unfolding of awakening, there often comes a quiet, almost shocking realisation:

Even this—even this is held in love.

Not just the bliss.

Not just the stillness.

But also the tremble of fear.

The grief of loss.

The chaos of war.

The pain of disease.

At first, the heart might resist this idea. How can suffering be held in love? How can war and illness be anything but wrong?

But love—the real kind, the vast kind—is not sentimental. It does not discriminate.

It doesn’t say: Only joy is allowed here.

It says: Nothing is outside of me.

Awareness Doesn’t Exclude

Everything that appears: pain and peace, horror and healing, it all arises in the same field of awareness.

That doesn’t make war “okay.” It doesn’t make injustice “right.” But it does mean that these too are part of the totality; part of the human dream, born of deep forgetting, fear, and wounding.

They are contractions in the One Body of Being.

And in the light of awareness, even those contractions can be seen, met, and gently softened.

The End of Exclusion

When we awaken, we don’t transcend the world.

We stop fighting it.

We stop dividing life into “worthy” and “unworthy,”

into “sacred” and “profane.” Instead, we begin to hold the totality (mess and all) with the tenderness of an open heart.

This is not passive acceptance. This is not spiritual bypassing. This is the deep seeing that allows conscious action to arise; rooted not in reactivity, but in compassion, groundedness, and truth.

What Does Real Love Do?

Real love walks into the fire of suffering and doesn’t flinch. Real love doesn’t need the world to be fixed before it opens. Real love doesn’t wait for the conditions to be right.

It just opens.

And opens again.

And again.

To live from this love is the quiet revolution of awakening. Not dramatic. Not loud. But powerful beyond measure. Because when nothing is left outside the heart—everything begins to heal.

Even this.

Even now.

Always.
