Being-Awareness-Love
"You have tasted so many things - all came to naught. Only the sense "I am" persisted - unchanged. Stay with the changeless among the changeful, until you are able to go beyond." N.M.
Turn your attention to, lock in and stay with "am." Abide in "am." Don't be frustrated when, like a Pacino in Godfather III, you find yourself fuming, "just when I thought I was out [of the personal self], they [the body-mind] pull me back in." Forgive yourself, laugh at yourself, love yourself, and keep returning to "am." Eventually your roots in "am" will thicken and dig deep enough to withstand all of the buffeting winds of your thoughts and senses. You may still lean beneath them, but you will no longer be swept away. Some portion of your attention will always remain in the ground of being. The more I dissolve into being, the more I realize that this can save us from ourselves. Dissolution of ignorance is concomitant with awakening. I am not just an idler out here--this is truly God's work. Consciousness is a portal to reality, I am a portal of consciousness at the center of infinite expanse. Or so sayeth the mind. Reality hears and laughs silently.
I am a taproot. I am the walrus. Kookookachoo.
"Have you felt the all-embracing emptiness in which the universe swims like a cloud in the blue sky? "W.M.
Yes. Leave the fireworks at home. This feeling lasts longer than time itself.
