Q: I very much like your Youtube videos. I just wanted to ask you a question. I came across this statement from you from about 5 years ago:
“There
is sometimes still a deep, abiding sadness near the core of 'me' and a
sense
that I am not 'done' ... though I sometimes try to claim that I am. So
the
unfolding into Light goes ... and the inquiry into who, and what, that
'me' is,
continues. I have been deeply touched by a great
many
people who have shared their experiences of 'awakening' on the
spiritual
path on the Internet. And so I am moved to share my process.”
How does it become natural?
How does it become natural?
C: That
was posted before the simplicity of our true identity of plain open
awareness
"sank in”. That is to say, there was still an abiding belief in a
separate
"me" and in "time". All the while Awareness is standing in plain sight.
For the
mind it seems to be a “process” because as is said on the latest video,
the
belief in “time” gives that notion apparent substance. But where is
“time”?
It’s just a passing concept; what we ARE is timeless space-like
awareness. So
the idea of process and “me” is just a passing changing story but
awareness has
no time or process iat all. Where does Awareness begin? Where is a frame
around
space? You are endless beginningless Space-Awareness, and that is not
any
process. This is to realize that ONLY non-separated space-awareness is
real.
What was
not clear at that "time" was even deep sadness is a passing
appearance in that which never changes. The belief in a "me" that
"owned" the sadness had to be further investigated, and was. The
final questions became, "who am I" and "do I exist"? Finding no entity,
and yet seeing that being
itself is obviously and always present and aware, naturally pulls the
plug on that false beliefs in "me" and :time". That's all. All clear
now! There is, and and never was or will be, any "I" standing apart from
Awareness. Not here not there not anywhere.
The
question now is, are YOU suffering? I f so let's talk about who that is
that
asks the questions about "another", and get to the bottom of it
so the natural freedom YOU are is seen clearly once and for all.
