Before any arising is the effortlessly-all-welcoming Self.

Observation from a friend: If I deem someone or something unwelcome, the discomfort arises not from where I assume – that which I’ve condemned – but from my very own state of unwelcomeness.

Welcome precedes unwelcome. Resolution is relinquishing only what’s been added. I am only ever the problem, if even that were true.

Indeed. Before any arising is the effortlessly-all-welcoming Self.
Such is our essential true nature.
As we return to this recognition, the barnacles of ignorance erode and dissolve into pure Being-Awareness.
