Identified with thought, the world takes on a different hue. It stops being neutral and full of possibilities and instead becomes fixed. All that arises in the moment and in all freshness is stale when touched by thought.
Identification with thought apparently obscures the ever-obviously-present Truth of what we truly are.
Allow yourSelf the space to be what you are - the space in which all thoughts arise. Don't identify with any of the thoughts. Simply let them be - and simply let yourself be.
Unidentified, you again become the free, unconditioned space in which ALL THAT ARISES has its basis.

Who You Are
Who You Are is not a Who.
You cannot become enlightened.
You cannot BECOME the Self.
There is no YOU to become the Self.
The Self is all there ever IS, ALWAYS.
THE CONCEPT OF "YOU" IS TAKING PLACE IN THE REAL YOU - INCONCEIVABLE.

Losing the Being
Q. What to do when I get lost in the daily confusion and lose awareness of being the consciousness?
A. This is a very funny position to be in because you THINK THAT YOU CAN LOSE WHAT YOU ALWAYS ALREADY ARE.
"I can lose it", is simply a thought occurring in the consciousness of "I AM" (or being-ness itself). Realize that it is simply a thought and leave it at that. You can never lose this. This is the basis of your waking and dreaming state. It is the place you can never leave. It is the ever-unchangeable position. All perception of form, thoughts, and feelings are perceived in THIS. How can you ever lose it?

CONDITIONING
A birth of a new child,
only emptiness appearing as a body
Quick give it a name.
Quick train the name into it.
Quick cover up the emptiness with words, labels.
Quick, put ideas, thoughts, beliefs
Quick, educate it in the ways of the current trends
So that the emptiness gets covered up.
Emptiness cannot get covered up.
It only appeared to be born.
It was before the birth of the body.
It is NOW.
It will forever BE.
Nothing can cover up the emptiness
Since all is encompassed by it
Since all is included within it.
A baby is not born.
Emptiness has taken a form.
But it is emptiness All Along.

What I Am
I am not that one that I think I am.
What I think I am, I am not.
If I am what I think I am, then I am NOT when the thought disappears OR changes.
However, I am ever-present regardless of thoughts I think about what I am.
I am present PRIOR TO the thoughts.
I am PRESENCE, PRIOR TO ANY THOUGHTS OR SENSATIONS.
Thoughts and sensations take place in me.
I am NOT a THIS OR THAT.
I AM THE ONLY ONE IN WHICH ALL THIS AND THAT TAKE PLACE.
Don't stick to the words. Look to that which the words are pointing to. Notice, I did not say LOOK AT THAT, because you can't see it. All seeing takes place within it. It is what you are. You know you exist. This knowing is all.
