"Look within diligently, remember to remember that the perceived cannot be the perceiver. Whatever you see, hear or think of--remember, you are not what happens, you are he to whom it happens. Delve deeply into the sense 'I am' and you will surely discover that the perceiving center is universal, as universal as the light that illumines the world." N.M.
When my body and mind are properly oriented, that is, perceived as perceivables, they are then assimilated or dissolved into the background, as much an object as the chair on which my feet rest. They also have just as little to do with my true self as does the chair. What "I am" is felt as charged emptiness, all-encompassing, all-pervasive, without boundaries. I am peaceful, accepting all with equanimity. I understand Jesus' "I am the light" now, and even "I am the way." His is the way of being: empty, open, receptive, effulgent. Spiritual, not religious. The pathless path.
"Relax and watch the 'I am.' Reality is just behind it. Keep quiet, keep silent; it will emerge, or rather, it will take you in." N.M.
