To whom does this perception appear'? To whom does this moment appear'? If we look, just stop for a moment, we might see that actually we're looking through the veils and images of our own sense-self, the shadowy hall of likes and dislikes.
There is nothing wrong with any of that because it is ALL made of Knowing or Pure Consciousness.
Does this sort out how am I going to feed my kids? Does this sort out, "Oh I've got a bit of a dodgy leg at the moment" ?” Does this sort out my mind? Those difficulties here and there. How do I sort all that out with this?
Well the real answer is, you might not.
But whoever you are, we are, we might discover directly that we're Love or Consciousness itself. We just didn't stop to see to whom is this moment appearing?
And I am suggesting you that in such a daring feat as 'just to stop', what we've been running from might let loose. I believe that's most of our fears…or we fear our own disappearance, replaced by the Light of Infinite Life.
Is that something to fear?
But the moment that we truly stop, the moment that we fully accept 'this', the moment we soften 'here', we may seem to lose control as energies and images and different levels of conditionality find their way home in the only 'I' there is.
Did you ever consider that 'I' is mind? And as Awareness, are you turning the mind back in on itself? Then what is no-mind? I have to use words to point to this but they are never sufficient..
Am I no-mind, am I prior to mind, am I prior to 'I'? In the tantric perspective of this you will find that within all objects 'I Am'. Not one cell is not made of What I Am, That that is prior to 'I'. And What I Am is Pure-Consciousness or Light.
What we're all actually looking for is Pure-Knowing or Being and the Knowing knows no object.
Is it not true, in openness, is it not true that my body is no longer a body? Isn't its texture different, its feeling different its energy different? Isn't there a kind of lightness of buoyancy? Really, do you constantly name your body all day long? Have you ever looked at this ?
Nobody fears the body dropping away at night. Maybe it doesn't drop away because maybe it doesn't exist, only in What I already Am….Knowing.
And only on the level of humanness, in the development of that level of mind, is there an image, an appearance that I have named as 'me', but it vanishes during the day even, and definitely when I go into deep dreamless sleep? Why do I use my image? When there is no image, how do I feel? Isn't functionality quite natural, movement quite natural? Isn't everything quite magical? Isn't energy pure, isn't Seeing and Knowing pure? Answers just come and flow ? Answers to what? That means, do I answer to anything other than What I first Am'? That's very much the same as saying that at rest and open ALL is given.
It's my mind that divides inside and outside, but What I Am is undivided.
