If it is a concept -
  the awakened, bows and smiles,
  
  
  If it isn't - there's nothing to smile at,
  
  
  And no-one to bow.
  
   
   
   
  
  
  
  
  I am the awareness 
  
   
  
 of being aware that I am universal awareness.
  
  
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
  
  
  I cannot say it,
  
  
  
  I cannot know it,
  
  
  I cannot be it,
  
  
  Because I am it,
  
  And that is all, I am.
  
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
  
  
  
  
  When Light seeks out Darkness,
  
   
  all it
  finds is its absence.
  
  The only finding is understanding 
   
   that what has been 'found'.....
  
  
  ....was the absence 
   
   of that which was seeking.
  
  
  
   
   
   
   
   
   
  
  
  You? You - whoever you believe you are - 
   
   are just an error of perception,
    
   a
  misinterpretation of the facts.
  
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
  
  
  
  I think that I act;
  
  
  
  But all the time 
  
   
  
 I am being dreamed by what-I-am.
  
  
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
  
  
  
  
  Whatever you may be, you are being 'lived.'
  
  
  
  You are not traveling, as you think:
  
  
  
  you are being 'traveled.'
  
  
  You are in a train.
  
  
  Stop trying to carry your own baggage
  yourself!
  
  
  
  It will come along with you anyhow.
  
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
  
  
  
  The identified man takes part; 
  
   
  
 the unidentified man looks on.
  
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
  
  
  
  All is just seeing; there is no thing seen.
  
  And there is no seer 
   
   other than the seeing of the seen.
  
  
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
  
  
  
  The only possible practice is total absence 
  
   
  
 of practice AND the absence of
  non-practice;
  
  
  Since in total absence of both, 
  
   
  
 there is no identity any more.
  
  
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
  
  
  
  
  As long as there is thinking as if by an objective appearance - 
   
  
 there is a
  'you,' and 'it' thinks 'it' is bound.
  
  As soon as such a thinking-process ceases 
   
   there is no 'you' to think that it
  is bound.
  
  For no 'you' is present when mind is fasting.
  
  In a fasting mind no I-concept arises.
  
  And there is no inferential entity, 
  
   
   to assume that it is un-free
  
   
  
  Or free.
  
  
   
   
   
   
   
  
  
  
  The ultimate question is "Who am I?'
  
  
  There could never be an answer 
   
  
 other than a repetition of the word 'Who?' - 
   
  
  for that may supply the no-answer;
  
  
  Which is awakening to the understanding 
  
   
  
 of why no answer could be.
  
  
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
  
  
  
  Absence of an entity to be enlightened
  
  
  Or not to be enlightened
  
  
  Is the double negative, the double Absence..........
  
   
   
   
   
   
   
  
  
  
  
  What we are looking for,.... is....
   
  ..... what is looking.
  
  
   
   
   
   
   
  
  
  
  I am the light 
  
   
  
 that falls on ten-thousand specks of dust 
  
   
  
 so that each may
  shine.
  
   
   
   
   
   
   
  
  
  
  
  Destroy the 'ego,' hound it, beat it, snub it, tell it where it gets off.
  
  
  Great fun, no doubt, but where is it?
  
  
  
  Must you not find it first?
  
  
  
  Isn't there a word about catching your goose before you cook it?
  
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
  
  
  
       There is nothing to acquire, or to be done.
  
  Seeing the result of a hypnosis at work,
   
  
   as this  infinite grandiose splendor, ..........
   
   
  ........is the exposure of the hypnosis.
   
  
  
  Hypnosis exposed..........
   
   
  ........is the state of meditation.
