Any idea of “what is” takes us away from what is – to be in moment, all ideas need to be gone. There’s not even an “I” to have ideas.

The natural being acts as an outcome of movement of universe, in same way that an artist’s brush is moved by its “universe”.

All “teachings”, “spiritual” paths or “sacred” practices actually take us away from moment, because it needs an “I” to do them, with an agenda of some kind, something to gain. All of which removes us from eternal identity-free moment.

The only way that “what is” can be experienced is to lose all traces of self, in which case “what is” can’t be experienced because there is no one there to experience it.

Any description of state of natural mind is false – it cannot be described and anyone who says they can is deluding themselves and/or you – to be described, there still has to be an identity there to describe it and if there is, that state can’t be real.

There is not even an “ultimate” state to gain, because very idea that there is, takes us away from it.

All there is, is operation of universe in its all-ness. There’s no such thing as “enlightened” or “unenlightened”. These are just ideas of what is.

Even “bliss” or “transcendence” is a state of mind that needs an “I” to experience those feelings.

Thoughts are glue of our belief structures. “I” is creation of thoughts and beliefs.

What’s operating when we think we are functioning human beings is operating system of species brain, running sophisticated meme/belief structures that are content of our identities/sense of self.

The only act consciousness can “do” is to let go of “self” awareness. Consciousness, to be fully there, needs to have no “I” attached to it - and then, who is there to be conscious?

The natural state is where everything is meaningful and meaningless – everything is part of whole and no link in chain can be more essential than another.

Action and thought, from this place, is an instantaneous, pure response to call of moment. It is moment, universe acting, not person.

To let go of fear and resistance and be taken by flow of life, or, to fight, screaming all way, as flow of life takes us anyway.

Life is. It moves.

The only way we can avoid that is to die - either to our awareness of ourselves (insanity), or physically (death).

To let go of fear and resistance is, of course, not easy, and there are many different approaches to life that attempt to help us with that.

The central confusion around this is exemplified by two views:

That we have no choice whatsoever – that life is pre-ordained Or, that almost all of life is choice – that we make good or bad choices depending on our level of self awareness or luck.

There is a “middle” way.

That we do have choice, but just one:

To recognise that we are going with flow of life no matter what, in same way that a twig in a stream is taken by water and that to fight water only brings pain and suffering – twig cannot of its own volition, go up-stream.

A wise person, seeing this, lets go and enjoys ride – multi-textured roller- coaster ride of life.

This takes an extraordinary willingness to see through and let go of (perceived) safety of our day-to-day views of life.
