Memory doesn't touch this.



Yes, I can hear my heartbeat. I can feel fingers on the keyboard.

There is this direct perceiving.

There is no self nor Self, nor awareness, nor God, nor me, nor you involved.

Just the perceiving.

There isn't any sense of a "what" doing the perceiving.

There is space, silence in which the perceiving occurs.

That silence isn't named or attended to by someone.

The silence itself is "how" the attending happens.

It isn't an object.

The objects I'm being aware of are cognized forms.

That is, the direct perceiving isn't formed, nor formless, simply is as it is.

The forms that are cognized (e.g., fingers, keyboard, computer screen) are activated memory.

There is a time lapse while memory organizes the forms.

This happens very, very quickly.

If one is still, aware, one "sees" the forming, that is, one "knows" the forming as forming.

That is how it can be said that "emptiness is form, form is emptiness."


Seeing the forming one has no sense of a self or Self, just the *is* of the moment, as one is the silence, the stillness of this moment.

Memory has no grounding.

Because memory always activates "now."

In this "now" there is no time.

Memory constructs time, along with form.


Thus, this very now-moment is freedom itself.

This unknowable stillness is who I am, only without any sense of a "who", or an "I", or an "am".

Memory doesn't touch this.
