Be as though you don't exist.
Let the bodily functions unfold, let thoughts come and go but don’t follow them. Be only the awareness. Something is unplugged, but you are still fully here. Senses are functioning normally. This was never the trouble. The mind rises up as resistances and doubts but they are mere thoughts. Mind in its psychological aspect can come full power, but you are not to be a traffic policeman inside your own head. Can the mind pull Awareness out of itself and turn into a person? Can it do that? With some rare beings it will not have this power. Why? Because they remain rooted in and as awareness and so don’t exchange their stillness for panic. And it is not something you can practice to do; it all happens spontaneously through understanding your true nature and by being one with that. Here you cannot pretend to be free and get away with it, so don’t try. Forget about it. If you insist in hiding behind the shallow façade of personality I would rather be at home watching Tv, than staying here trying to change your thinking, because it’s not going to work. There must be a deep openness or yearning for truth. Strive to understand your true nature, your highest position. You are the silence, the unchanging ground of all appearances. When you come to realize this, all this chaos is going to come to an end. |
