Nameless, timeless, locationless, yet fully present right Here right Now as what You are: Is there presence where You are? Is there Awareness where You are? Is there "time"? Show what "time" is: Can we? To paraphrase a favorite teacher of mine, Bob Adamson, "where is "time" unless you think about it? Whomever uttered the wonderful pointer "there's no time like the present" was a wise old owl.
To paraphrase another favorite teacher, we are constantly looking to find a truth that fits the appearance of reality, the incredible display of time-space-stuff and us. But given THAT "reality" the truth just doesn't fit!
Lao Tsu said it: "The Tao that can be named is not the Eternal Tao". Full Stop.
Now what? Here is a question you can play with if you like: What is being sought? Who or what is seeking what cannot be named or known? IS there a "seeker" or just seek-ING, appearing as part of the whole functioning of Being AND non-Being? Yes, there IS know-ING, Be-ING. And, as Lao Tsu also pointed out, "Being is born of not being."
Which are YOU? Being or Non-Being?
Neither. And Both.
Stop now and BE. Simple. YOU ARE, Being. Inescapably and unavoidably. That, Being, is NOT-a-Thing yet IT IS. Eternal, Real and appearing NOW-NOW-NOW as Your own invincible I Am-ness.
When that Natural Knowing is complete, it's clear and plain that "mind" is a tool of The Eternal, creating spontaneously, inventing live and living moment by moment. And for that, as that, IN that, anything is possible.
Anything.
"Dwell in the Possibilities" ~Emily Dickinson
"Keep very quiet and watch what comes to the surface of the mind. Reject the known, welcome the so far unknown and reject it in its turn. Thus you come to a state in which there is no knowledge, only being, in which being itself is knowledge. To know by being is direct knowledge. It is based on the identity of the seer and the seen. Indirect knowledge is based on sensation and memory, on proximity of the perceiver and his percept, confined with the contrast between the two." ~Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
"Thought, desire and fear are based on time or duration through memory -- they are not of the present moment. They disappear along with time itself when volition has been abandoned or surrendered." ~Ramesh Balsekar
