Centre as process

There is much mention in spiritual work about finding/developing one's centre. But really there is no such thing. As soon as you decide that this or that is your centre then something will transpire that makes it clear that it is nothing of the sort, unless you are so strong willed and blinkered to force your reality to that result, and I've never seen the value in that, even temporarily. Being centred really just means being part of the natural process, and that means dissolving into each moment. And everything dissolves – everything that is known, labeled, secure – it all falls away to reveal the absolute novelty of now. The centre is you, full of energy, spirit shining, constantly entering (and exiting) the process of becoming you. Like a snake always squeezing out of yesterday's skin.
