"Unity consciousness, however, is not so much a particular wave as it is the water itself.

And there is no boundary, no difference, no separation between water and any of the waves.

That is, the water is equally present in all waves, in the sense that no wave is wetter than another.

So if you are looking for “wetness” itself—the condition of all waves—nothing whatsoever will be gained by jumping from one wave to another.

In fact, there is much to lose, for as long as you are wave-jumping in search of wetness, you obviously will never discover that wetness exists in its purity on whatever wave you’re riding now.

Seeking unity consciousness is like jumping from one wave of experience to another in search of water. And that is why “there is neither path nor achievement.”

33. You Versus Your Self-Experience

Most people identify themselves with and as their characteristic actions and experiences, their beliefs and views, their thoughts and emotions. In order to get free of suffering, we need to change this entrenched view of ourselves. If we stay with the assumption that we are what we experience, we can’t undo the activities that cause suffering because we then experience being our activities instead of doing those activities. We also need to change our view from thinking our experience is created by circumstance and instead get that it is something we’re doing, not something inflicted upon us.

In order to create some space between “you” and your self-experience, let’s look at some metaphors. As in an analogy I used elsewhere, if you were a rock that danced, you might identify yourself as a dancer. But dancing is an activity the rock is doing, it is not the rock itself. This distinction is necessary for our work here, even though it may seem like splitting hairs for most people.

Just so, metaphorically speaking, if you were your body but instead experienced yourself as your style of dress and presentation, you might say “this is who I am” referring to how you look. And indeed, people will know you largely in relation to this show or presentation. But it isn’t really you at all. It is what you choose to wear and what you choose to present for others to see, but that doesn’t make it you, the body.

Exercise during the week: Practice experiencing yourself as your body. Have a simple experience of your body in present time and make a distinction between that and all the other self-mind stuff you are doing.
