That which has no name

When you hear "he who cannot be named," the mind may wander to J.K. Rowling's fictional character Lord Voldemort in her Harry Potter stories.  Similarly, "that which has no name" often evokes feelings of confusion fear or dread in the mind. Why is that?

Take your dreams for instance.  You are conditioned to be able to name and thus, think you understand and have some level of control over your destiny. When you are unable to name or identify a thing, the mind cannot grasp it and assumes something is wrong.  What happens as you listen to the heart? What does it resonate that is beyond mind?

Consider "that which has no name" is not reason to fear, but reason to awaken to who you are. Perhaps it feels like a layer of a dream.  Indescribable sensations arise. Roll with this. Allow it to flow freely.  Notice what happens when there is nothing left to say. You Transform Your Life by admiring and identifying with others only to see yourself.

"Music...can name the unnameable and communicate the unknowable."

Un-name that which is nameable, and life is taken less personally.

When there is nothing left to say, the dance of two is over, and there is only One. Emptiness then allows one to fall in Love with their original Self which is Selfless.

Bern, in the knowing that all is well, something calls you in perfect readiness. Even though one knows where one is at any given moment, one also recognizes how it feels to be completely focused there or elsewhere. How you feel tells all.
