Thisness

Can we also notice the continuous directors cut narration that plays over the present moment?

Can we recognise our memories of the past and thoughts about the future as fundamentally all the same imaginary fantasy?

The trouble with the mind is its supposed abstraction from the
world…

Douglas Harding

The real problems of life are literally not what we think they are. The problems lie with identification with every thought that occurs to us. We don’t have thoughts, thoughts have us. They capture and tyrannise us.

Only confusion lies at the end of trains of thought.

We pour all our cognitive resources into and invest heavily in our separate egos. What a waste. Let us recognise what happens when we invest in the simplicity of open, centreless awareness.
All separation disappears and we clearly recognise the paradox that we are all essentially the same yet expressed through difference.

Can we attend closely and carefully to the difference between memories and what is actually present here, now?

If we are anything we are a spontaneous arising of ever changing aliveness.

The universe remains indifferent to our separate identities and desires.

Identifying as this or that is not liberation. Self identification binds us instead of freeing us. To let go of identification with anything opens us up to everything unconditionally.
