At death I said...

I had a dream, in the dream, I was not free,

I had a dream, but that dream, was not me.

Now I come to see, the whole of reality,

Now I can see this is all that can be.

Ride

Don't take the road to Nirvana without realizing that the road is Nirvana.

Duality

There is nothing wrong with duality as long as both sides are seen as complementary and not strived for apart.

So then where do Good and Bad resolve?

The true good is the balance.

some like to be blind, they like the chase

Guru: "Here is a metaphor for the answer to life"

Seeker "Where can I find this metaphor? I must seek and see it with my own eyes, I must touch this metaphor and know it is real"

Guru (cries softly to herself) "Hmm. Ok, if you must, then walk west until you find yourself"

Seeker [walks west]

Guru [sits]

Seeker [after travelling west for so long returns to the start point]

Guru "So, have you found yourself?"

Seeker "I thought I saw the metaphor many times. I once saw a tree that was shaped in such a way as that I thought of the great metaphor and so I cut it down and made a shrine to its stump and a necklace from its fruits"

Guru "... "

YOU...

...are a very significant part of my existence.

Goldfish memory / Human life

"Oh, that was a nice life... .. Oh, that was a nice life... .."

Ms Smith

J. Smith is simply a suit I am wearing and not I who lives in and through it.

So who is I?

Infinite. Deathless.

Now

There are only 3 things that spoil perfection:

Memories,

Plans

Concepts

life's pains.

Why do I see pain and suffering?

Because you seek pleasure.

Not seeking,

Not found.

If you lost it all?

Would this scare you or liberate?

The answer to that answers the question of "Am I liberated?" as if you can see that in losing everything, you'd have lost nothing and that you have never had anything, you are everything, then liberation is yours.

What is your favourite colour?

No colour, as from this there is the possibility of all colour. If my favourite colour was blue, then everything was blue, it may as well be grey, how dull. Magic is that there is so much colour and variation is the music.

What is your favourite mood, should we strive to be happy always? You'd guess so but let's look at colour.

Further, there is no mood or colour in the self and so no one to suffer sadness or welcome happiness. When we have an absence of all distinctions, when we have said I am not this, not this, not that aspect, not that thought, not this thinker, not this .....

When we have extinguished all, I am not that, this, that, this, then we are just ".."

Held here, not conceptualized, is the state of states. The canvas for which colour shall bedazzle.

I's dream

I is living the dream.

I is the dream.

I am living my dream.

I is the dream living.

it is

What is it you think you have lost that you need to seek for?

What is this incompleteness that needs completing?

Is not every moment perfect?

As is, no matter what you do, it is.

100 years he asked

He said:

I will set my clock to wake me in 100 years time. I will meditate so deeply that I will not take food, no water and barely one breath. As my body is so still I will age less than one day in all of this time.

The world around me and my clock will go for 100 years of motion and during this time I will do not one thing but meditate on this one question: "Who is meditating?" - When my clock calls me round I will announce my first words for 100 years and they shall be the answer to this one question.

After 100 years he said:

No one is meditating! In 100 years I have meditated and dedicated myself to this quest, I have delved I have persisted, and I have found, for sure, that no one is meditating. I must conclude with my fresh and un-aged mind that: If no one was meditating, then there was no meditation and that - this is one.

Truth in a book?

Truth can only exist in a book as truth exists previous to the book and the writing.

How then, can the book contain truth?
