A meditation

2 posts in this topic

Sit down and focus your attention on the fact of being now, of existing. Not on your breath, since that divides you between subject and object; it will never work. Nor on your thoughts, since that places you as an external observer of your thoughts, which are forms you take, not forms you see. They are you being a thought.

So, focus on the fact of being. Not on consciousness, since consciousness is being aware, a relationship between two states, the possibility of being conscious or not. Forget consciousness, dreams and ego. Forget everything except the actual fact of being. 

This now is the fact of being, without any definition except that it is. Now there is no breath, no consciousness, no thoughts; there is the fact of being. Everything is the fact of being.

Then the boundaries fall away; you slip in an instant from form to substance. In substance, there are no differences; you are, period.

Being reveals itself as total, unfathomable, and full of power. It is, and in the fact of being it's affirmative, and its joy is absolute because nothing limits it, there is not stain, it's absolutely clean, bottomless and perfect. It has no beginning and no end; it is inevitable, total, absolute, and it is exactly what you are. Simple. In fact, absolutely simple.

Spirituality imprisons you because it tells you that form is a dream, an illusion, or a falsehood, and in doing so, it fragments you. If you are fragmented, you cannot broaden your focus.

Form and substance are one; there is no being without form, nor form without being. The issue is not denying form as unreal, but rather placing it in the background, when by default it is in a total and all-consuming foreground.

Statements like "the self is unreal" place you on the plane of real vs. unreal. The self simply is. Like anything else. Unreal or real are at the level of form; at the level of absolute being, there is absolute being.
