QUEEN OF DEATH
She who leads the descent within
She acknowledges and empowers through composting the illusions of the ego. She unmasks and unveils, stripping the ego of its illusions and thus dismantling the false self. She asks us to courageously enter the subconscious real to retrieve the deep gifts found there.

Your grief for what you’ve lost lifts a mirror
Up to where you’re bravely working.
Expecting the worst, you look, and instead,
Here’s the joyful face you’ve been wanting to see.
Your hand opens and closes and opens and closes.
If it were always a fist or always stretched open,
You would be paralyzed.
Your deepest presence is in every small contracting and expanding,
The two as beautifully balanced and coordinated as bird wings.
-Rumi
When I let go of what I am, I become what I may be.
-Lao Tzu
Frequency of Black
Awareness itself will appear as a quality that is pure stillness, that is pure peacefulness, that is the presence of peace. The presence of peace alone dissolves all agitation. Peace doesn’t have to do anything; its mere manifestation melts all strife, and impediments simply dissolve through the understanding that is inseparable from that stillness.
-A.H. Almaas, Unfolding Now
This power is not just that we refrain from taking action, but that we experience the presence of total stillness. This is the essence of nondoing, which is peace. Just the fact of stillness, the presence of peace, annihilates ignorance. But this annihilation is the action of appreciation and love in pure non-doing and stillness.
-A.H. Almaas, Unfolding Now
