Expand it, examine it.
The life force is registering in this pure cognition as form. The One energy is forming the body and all the thoughts, feelings, sensations plus the world, without separating itself into parts. It appears that it is through the form that everything is known in the immediacy. There is no separation. However, if the consciousness is identified solely with the form, then ’separation’ appears to be real.
One Awareness appears AS everything and it is infinitely diverse. At each apparent center of cognition a different body appears AS the First Pattern to appear in the vast field of diversity. That pattern is ‘your body’ and it appears in MIND. One Awareness – One Mind. You cannot find awareness in the same way that you cannot find mind. They are One and the same. Being identified with the first pattern of the appearance is the ‘link’ to be identified with the world of appearance. The body must be included in the naked seeing as an appearance – then the identification loses its hold. In this naked knowing you cannot say what you are – but you cannot negate that you are. What I am pointing out is not usually spoken of. What is more digestible is erroneous information about ‘things’ that one can identify with and so the erroneous teachings are exceedingly popular – yet no one gets free. How ironic it all is.
Bring it back to the immediate.
So even this life force, which animates everything is ‘pointing’ at the empty space-like awareness in which this immediate SEEING-KNOWING is ‘happening’. The evidence is what it is.
You are this immediacy of knowing. Anyone who suggests that you are anything beyond that is just making up a story and cannot prove anything about what they are pointing at. It is hocus pocus. What is being pointed at here can be verified instantly and the truth of it is totally available right now.
You are not a ‘happening’ or an ‘event’ in ‘time’ or ’space’. There is no need to accept or reject anything. A response may appear “What a relief”.
A relief for whom? The habit of believing that I am an individual needs to be broken. From a worldly sense, such a suggestion is unheard of. Preposterous. From a worldly sense the whole point is to fortify the belief in being a separate individual and to protect that belief with all your might. Hence all the conflict and suffering.
Take a closer look at this ‘drama’ of life. Investigate the images and see what it all is. It is similar to a movie projected on a screen.
Go up to the screen and see that it is all nothing at all like it appears to be. Expand it, examine it. The character in this movie (me) is a mind projection. Seeing it for what it is frees up the fixation of focus on the illusion. You do not have to do any ten day meditation retreats or watch endless videos about non duality. There is actually nothing to do, apart from seeing what is.
