Very early hours of the morning is
a good time to consider this.
It is too simple for the waking mind.
This is NOT a dogma meant to be
either believed or disbelieved.
Pay attention. A step at a time.
You must really see this for it to work,
it has to become evident.
Not a dogma, a clear understanding.
Anything less is a "failure".

****************************

You are pure consciousness,
not a body or a person
or the body's history.

Now pure consciousness is not an agent.
It has no needs, plans, urges, form,
limitations, history, past, or future.
It does not act from any sense of limitation or lack.
It does not act at all. So you do not act at all.

Pure consciousness provides the ground
for all experience without selfish motive.
It has no motives, unless it has all motives.
The immense expanse of consciousness
is the same as freedom. So you are free.

Pure consciousness cannot be traced to
any cause or beginning. So you are eternal.

Pure consciousness is identical with reality,
the present, the truth. So you are reality,
and the truth, here and now.

**************

If all the preceding just disappeared
at some point you are beginning to know.

If you do not need to read it again
then you may know enough already.

If you have the idea that you are pure consciousness,
or you think it is an option, then you have not understood
anything at all.

The text is there. Who knows if it works or not?

The best way to hide something
is to place it in plain sight
but very, very close.
In that way revelation and
concealment are identical.

If the screen is so large that
you cannot see the edges of the
screen, you may fail to see
that it is a screen at all, and
focus on the pictures only.

In this case as always, only the
screen is real, and the screen
is invisible once the pictures
are projected onto it.

Infinite potential.
All that is needed is to take The Infinite
infinitely seriously. The alternative is
merely ignorance.

**************

No creation or creator is needed or even
possible for the permanent and unchangeable.

So simple.

So simple.

I was shown.
There was no choosing.
My mind did not revolt.
I saw, I understood, I knew.
I had never chosen.
All of my seeming choices were helpless.
Choicelessly I saw that there is no choosing.
Believing died and I knew.
I did not disbelieve.
I could not choose to believe.
I could not choose to disbelieve.
Believing and disbelieving became impossible.
I was shown, I saw, and I knew.

You are that. There is no void apart from you.
There are no others - but care for them anyway.

You may say "I cannot see it." You may ask "What can I do?" You may say "I need to understand it." You may ask "Can it work?" You still want a "way" to follow? Here it is. What you can "do." If your ears are closed my lips are sealed. You must trust that you are pathologically connected to your history. That is the situation, otherwise you will not want a "way" or a thing to "do." You will not seek to "do" something. You must also trust that this connectedness is not the same as remembering that history you take to be your defining experience. Your mind will tell you that it is the same as simple recall, but it is not the same. Here is the functional schema. Here is the "thing to do" that you wanted. There is no method but you will find a method. Here is what will happen:- You will understand that you stand apart from what you believed your personal history was. You will cease to reside in time. The personal history may become very sharp at times and disappear at others. In any case it is no longer intimate, nor does it describe you any more. This is no mere idea. It is not an effort. Simply:- You now stand on your own beingness without any need for definition. Time is not like it was. The point of this? You will find out because this is what you are working toward. It is about time, timelessness, history, being, actuality, reality, freedom, potential. Freedom is more about potential than a sense of escape from something, because there is no prison. Also timelessness is more like an effort is not being exerted any longer, but that effort is not seen or possible. This is an imperfect and preliminary description of the difference between the standard way of being and the stark actuality of being that is direct. Somehow the fact of this could become a "method" with more contemplation. Obviously, if the person wishes to continue with its usual condition, then no "method" or exposition will be sought. But you will change back to yourself.
