Causeless Ceaseless Bliss

Ananda, Bliss is what we so crave as 'spiritual' people.  We want to escape the turmoil of this existence and its unenlightened people and hold up in some Nirvana....this is all a huge waste of time!  If we think that bliss is forthcoming, that its in some expanded awareness or sense of ourselves, than its not really bliss that we're after.  Bliss is only right here, not in some fulfillment of an idea of enlightenment....we are very arrogant in our search for bliss, and also in the thinking that we've found it. 
Bliss is the ground on which we all stand, it is not some feeling you get after your chakras are all illumined the right way.  Bliss is the ruthless simplicity of this drop of water on this blade of grass.  Bliss is not some special state or experience. 
Nor is bliss coming and going.  If it comes and goes it's not bliss, for bliss is always here underneath every coming and going.  This is why when we attach ourselves to a blissful experiences or go chasing a blissful experience we suffer--our suffering is letting us know we're in a fruitless journey, for what we seek is right here before we ever take a step. 
My urging to you is to discover yourself to be that Bliss.  In order to discover that you must find out what does not come and go.  What is both ceaseless and causeless....
A few really huge experiences or a couple hits of samadhi, or some major intuition you may have does not indicate that you've discovered the ground of Being as your own Self.  And if you think you've got it and someone else doesn't, the only thing you've got is a delusion.
This causeless, ceaseless Bliss is ruthless--it will consume every image, idea, and identity until only Itself remains.

Emptiness and Humanness

In our culture and society we put so much attention and energy into becoming somebody, with a deep fear of being nobody.  So the most appropriate medicine for many of us is Emptiness, and the realization of no-self.  While that might be good medicine for somebody clinging to their somebody-ness, it can be nauseating for somebody who gets stuck in emptiness and thus negates his or her humanness.
With a tight grip on emptiness and no-self life becomes very dreary, grey, and dead...what is needed is the realization of the fullness of emptiness only found within this very life, this very human being.  Some "spiritual" people get trapped trying to become nothing and nobody, all the while attempting it with a hollow, miserable sense of self.  Or, in avoidance of being a miserable self, we go about trying to become something bigger or better.
There is a space in which we are neither a nobody nor a somebody, right where the Truth of who one really is remains inseparable from this very life.  We are neither the absolute nor our human experience, we are both our human experience and absolute existence...holding neither side reveals the true non-duality of our Spiritual nature and human nature. 
Finally, Heaven and Earth are not separated at all.
