Hidden diamond

There’s a classic story about a poor man who unknowingly has a diamond sewn into the lining of his pants pocket, he wanders the earth, starving, no home, no possessions, he is a beggar. Only when he finds the diamond, of course, does his poverty end. Awakening is the seeing of that hidden, yet always available, treasure. Never not here, just not known, poverty of spirit carrying on, despite the potential. Wealth realized, eventually. Awakening is waking up to what was always the case, and the answer to the, can it be created or conjured question is no. -It already is, it’s just not apparent when you sleep. It either shows up or it doesn’t. The diamond stays hidden for some, is discovered by others. All we can do is await, yet intention and focus can be helpful. Some (Adyashant) says it shows up via grace. I agree. “We awaken to what we are,” is another way of saying that it awakens to what it is, as and via us. It is ultimate being, imagine it as a verb, not a noun. We are presentations, my friend. We are ultimate, presenting as human, as life here and now. Same for rock, love, sky, plastic, anger, sun, laughter, tears, time. All of it. Simply being as apparent manifestation, and always it.
