so you can welcome the stillness
which is this effortless
aware presence welcoming itself
nothing that you need to do
in this vast open and borderless
perceiving the space
there are no separate entities
there is no past no history
no form no structure
in the reality of our experience
which is this transparent presence
so i recognize myself as this transparency
the eternity of being
a thought may appear to you as it appears
it dissolves in the space in the
presence out of which and in which it appears
like this sound this hearing
dissolves in the same space out of which
and in which it appears
everything that is visible to the senses
every mind structure
is empty in essence
as it appears it disappears in the complete absence of time
this is what we call life
this ongoing appearance and disappearance
in the eternity of presence
this is what we call mind
which is this ongoing appearance and disappearance
of perceptions within aware presence
no duration
that which neither appears nor disappears
is unstirred
unmoved
transparent eye
which is the essence
the heart
the reality
of all experiences
the substance of the emptiness
is full
which we refer to as the light of being or the
light of awareness
self-knowing and
all knowing
there is only one knowingness
which knows itself as i

first the journey starts with i am a person
i am somebody
a character that exists in time and space
seeking, resisting,
fretting, searching,
then we come to the understanding
that this character which i take myself to be
is fiction
an empty vessel
and that the true vessel is consciousness
but there is still a vessel
an empty vessel but still a vessel
the inner and the outer
and finally we come to the understanding
that this vessel is borderless
formless, shapeless, edgeless
the one and only reality
everything returns to his natural order
so go to the sensation of your body whichever way this
sense of yourself appears
at the feeling level
and like you release a bird by opening your hand
and allowing the bird to fly away
giving it its freedom
open your hands and allow that sense of yourself
but the feeling level whichever way it’s appearing
allow it to fly away
release it
from its imaginary boundaries
so that you no longer are an empty vessel
but the fullness the wholeness of being
in the totality
