A Friend Whacked Me Awake When He Wrote

"What do you see in front of you right now?"






XTC

Is a side-effect of liberation and is borne out of the Great Relief of having seen there is no one.

Aiming at bliss, ecstasy or peace is missing the point and can only possibly result in momentary effects.

The Great Relief is already there, actually, and is only disturbed by abstracting, splitting and future-gazing.

Future-gazing, abstracting, splitting may all happen, but weave through the dream.

The dream character you may take yourself to be is not separate from the great dream this all is.

This all is what you are. There is no real separation on any level.

What a Great Relief.

Return of The Ghost

Here, there is sometimes a worry that the ghost of me will contract back in and this freedom will somehow be forgotten...

This worry, or even the return of the contracted state itself, doesn't actually have to be a problem.

Even if it becomes 'a problem', even if 'problems' arise here, it is still not a problem for anyone. It is not taken receipt of.

How can it be?

Get a Sense

That It is breathing you,
That It is walking you
That it is thinking you
That it is you-ing you.

That, is what the you is.

So come wade in and rest deeply in This what you are.

The Great Mass of Men

Would describe abiding nonduality as a complete and utter disaster.

It is.

The Great Mass of Men

Lead lives of quiet replication.

The Collapse

Is inevitable and will occur, if it is to occur, despite your best efforts.

Other People

It's easy to forget, for the me thing, that Other People are merely conceptual too.

All the people in the world are the froth on the beer of being.

Basic Anxiety

Is a current which sometimes appears to flow through the thinking thing.

Feel its course deeply. Map its progress. Really appreciate its cadence and timbre and heavy vibration. It's dancing, actually. Ride it out. It doesn't last forever.

If you get tired of Basic Anxiety, try:

  • Work out for who is it that this feeling is intolerable?
  • Scan the body and work out precisely where these patternings are unfurling and moving.
  • See such feelings as the rich colours they are.
  • Is there a truth to this anxiety? Where are you clenching?
Or:
  • Punch a huge fucking hole in the wall.

So a 3 year old could understand it

Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream!
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream!

Storytime

Deepening into those spaces when, during the day, you aren't locked into a story won't liberate you, but it is great entertainment.

Waking Up

Is odd because it seems like you're then the kid bouncing the ball, after dinner time, wishing your friends could come and join you.

In this dream there is utter alone-ness all the time because the entire unit is under constant surveillance with the self same I.


Just Zoom Out and it sees through you.

Doing Nothing

Only means something to do with liberation on the deepest possible level.

What does that rubbish mean?

Well, nothing in the universe as you experience is actual. It is noumena and it subsists, not exists.

Eh?

Nobody is doing anything. There is nobody there.

So I can just hang about in bed all day smoking grass?

Doesn't matter; but your laziness has nothing to do with Doing Nothing.
If you were running through the Mongolian Steppes there would still be Doing Nothing.
Lying in the bed is still something, happening, for no one.

Who you calling Nobody?




Energetic

When the understanding happens, it is not a mental epiphany.

What occurs here is an energetic shift from holding in, into everything that happens. There isn't that feeling of a me behind my eyes as a center of the action.

On the deepest possible level, you get Imax Cinorama.

Talking To Nobody

When people have conversations with me, I'm not doing the talking.

Funny how, without anybody there, the same old crap comes out of my mouth.

Awakening doesn't have to alter the egoic structure and its conditioning.
Awakening is another dose of new conditioning, but most things remain.

It's not that the ego is destroyed or merges. It remains as the prism that it is, but it is completely seen through.

Ramana

Is of no help whatsoever.

Whoever has written for you to ask yourself 'Who Am I?' has an agenda.

More interesting, maybe, is what your agenda is in following such practices; what is your agenda right now?

Agenda-ing, is a sticking ones' head in the mud.

Not that the mud isn't it, it is. Everything is. It's just one of the more limited views in the auditorium.
