Pointers

You are not your thoughts. You are the knower of your thoughts. Can a shadow see itself?


**********


Ultimately, you are not even the knower. There is only knowingness, and you are That.

It isn't a question of truth being proximate, available, or near-at-hand. Gurus and false teachers use these expressions to keep seekers hook on their on brand of nonsense.


**********


While reading these words, see that you are seeing into your own immeasurability. It is, at once, beginningless, simple, and incontestible.

No concept or definition can fully describe this living reality. The closest terms that come to it are such ones as, I am, Presence, Beingness, and--despite its gross stereotyping--the Sanskrit sound syllable, Om. Meditators the world over wrongly chant it for "enlightenment,"when actually it is the silence that surrounds the syllable that, classically, points to our natural state.

Ah, this supreme presence of awareness...Huang Po was so utterly (and beautifully) correct: "It is that which you see before you."

Pause and discover your ever-present, self-shining sheerness. It is that easy.

Nonduality is no world of words. It is a pristine teaching and pointing to our nonconceptual nature.

No belief, surrender, acceptance, or effort is necessary for this understanding to occur. It is merely a matter of recognizing the unfathomable depth and peace of our everyday awareness. It is there right now, directly before you, and as you. Don't move from this. Abide in that which has always been in plain view.
