The Appearance
What is very clear and very obvious to most human beings
is that the present day state of our world is not beneficial
to the continuation of the human species. What may not
be quite so obvious is that what is happening in our world
is an outer reflection, for want of a better way of putting
it, of what is taking place within consciousness.
Consciousness is impersonal but at the same time it functions
in such a way that the human organism, which is an apparatus
of consciousness, enables it to grow into a deeper intuitive
understanding of itself, in the process of this taking
place the gestalt of consciousness itself changes, the
human experience as a result gains a deeper understanding
of itself.
What is required now at this point in time is a breakdown
of what has up until now been somewhat functional in the
development of humanity, the ego concept, and in fact
this is what is taking place.
This concept, which consciousness itself has up until
now held true of itself, except for the occasional few,
is the idea that there exists within each human form a
separate being who has volition of its own to function
against all action that is taking place throughout existence.
This one concept has led to the idea of separation and
the suffering of consciousness itself as apparent separate
beings, humanity. There is in truth no volitional ability
at all as all action that takes place through the human
form is being done by the WHOLE and not an apparent part.
The letting go of this concept, which can only be done
by consciousness itself, requires the letting go of all
that is believed to be true of humanity, all that consciousness
itself, up until very recently, has believed about itself.
The breaking down of this ego concept involves the facing
of the structure of the concept of separation at the level
of feeling, the level of perception, and this involves
the arising of fear and the remaining present to it without
developing strategies to avoid the fear. It is these strategies
that have created the present day situation, all based
upon the concept of separation.
The greatest fear that we know as apparent separate beings
is the fear of death, all other fears are based upon this
one. Each time one is able to stay present to fear at
the feeling level without analysis by the intellect that
fear dissolves leaving nothing in its place. The very
last fear that consciousness will be present to, which
is the fear of the death of oneself as a separate being,
leaves nothing at all, emptiness. This emptiness is then
seen to be the Truth of oneself and all apparent others.
What we are seeing happening in consciousness as present
day events is the breakdown of this ego concept. As it
struggles in its death throes it clutches desperately
to control and delay its impending death, this is reflected
outwardly upon the screen of consciousness as the control
that governments and those above them are trying to enforce
and it is clear that it is getting desperate.
Each of us believes that we are a separate being amongst
other separate beings and this is not the Truth. We are
not a we but an apparent we, a manifestation of the One
consciousness. This includes all those apparently separate
others who appear as the negative players within the game
of consciousness, we are all One. When this fact is seen
it is also seen that all the events that are taking place
are one's own and unless this is seen the belief that
it is not so reinforces the separative actions that arise
in consciousness.
The answer to all that is happening as the unfolding
events of the world is to awaken to the realisation of
what one is and in this realisation the world will change
as a consequence. Where separation is no longer seen the
actions of consciousness will no longer be separative
actions but inclusive actions, benefiting all mankind.
This is happening, no one is doing it for there is no
one, there is only consciousness itself unfolding and
giving rise to actions that appear as the play of existence.
Awakening is already happening, for some the facing of
these fears has begun and for others the outer changes
will leave no choice put for them to be faced, the result
will be mass awakening.
Love is the answer, Love for those who appear to be negative
in their role in the play as well as Love for those who
appear as the positive aspect of what is essentially ONE
unbroken consciousness unfolding.
In the Light of this Love all are seen to be Oneself
awakening.

Synthesis
Behind every eye receiving the images received by the
eye is the one that lives as and through all form.
What is generally believed is that there is an individual
somebody or something behind the senses of what appear
to be many separate forms, it is this belief that creates
the sense of separation which is the cause of suffering
in the human experience.
This belief, which is no more than an assumption, is brought
about and has its continuation because the assumed separate
one is not looked for. When the word ME or I is used it
is assumed that the word is relating to the body or something
within it and as this is not actually the case the illusion
of many separate me-s is created.
The one that assumes that the word me or I is referring
to an inner subjective object within the form is itself
actually formless. By accepting itself as an objective
figure it ceases to be able to
recognise itself as no-thing, non-objective, in the misconception
that it is some-thing. It is this identification with
oneself as being something when the truth of oneself is
that one is no-thing that causes the confusion that gives
rise to suffering. This is the illusion which the Indian
tradition has named Maya.
The Source of what appears to be many separate objects
is this
no-thingness. It is this One that is experiencing it's
own no-thingness as the experience of the universe. As
long as this identification with the form that appears,
which is no other than it's own action manifesting, continues
then so does the
illusion that one is a separate being amongst other separate
beings and it is this sense of otherness that creates
fear which then does not allow the seeing of Oneness,
that all is One, that all is essentially Love and that
one is equal to this.
The only One that experiences Life as and in the human
form, or any other form for that matter, is the Source
itself. You and I are this source, we are the same One.
Not recognising this fact this one as an
apparent you and I lives the illusion of separation. What
is
experiencing itself in your form is the one that is also
experiencing
itself in all other forms, no where in all that appears
is there
actually separation except as a an idea that leads to
the belief that
it is so.
When one recognises ones self to be nothing at all then
this
realisation of Oneness spontaneously appears. This nothingness,
being
prior to the somethingness that creates the sense of time
and space,
is immediately recognised to be the ever-present eternal
One itself
and the only One that actually is.
This one that we all are, and that all is, is in itself
still,
unmoving and silent yet paradoxically it creates all action
that
appears as the objective experience of the world and the
universe.
From this place of stillness, which is not locatable in
time and
space, this one is witness to its own show. A one-man
band as it were.
Literally speaking all that you are presently experiencing
as yourself
and your world is a manifestation of your own Being for
you are the
Source. As the no-thingness you give rise to the some-thingness
that
appears as manifest existence which is an activity of
the stillness of
your Being.

THIS, the Source
From where do thoughts arise? if the Source of thoughts is known, intuitively understood, the seeking ends. The activity that is refered to as thought or feeling appears out of and within non-action and is witnessed by this non-action. This non-action is their Source. Regardless of what the content of this that we call mind is it is always witnessed by this which it appears out of and within, the Source, No-mind.
When thoughts or feelings appear they are recognized by you , this "you" is the non-action that brings them into play and within which they appear temporarily and within which they again dissolve, leaving behind Nothing , the Source. You are the source of these temporary activities, you are permanent, unchanging Awareness.
There is not one human being on this planet that is not familiar with thoughts and feelings, there is therefore not one human being that is not familair with the Source of these activities. The Source is familiar to all, more familiar than the activities that arise within it for they come and go but their Source is everpresent.
If the Source arises as the activity of seeking it seeks itself as an activity, a thing, a thought or feeling, an experience, but as it itself is not these temporary appearances these then do not satisfy and do not bring an end to the seeking. After giving attention to these activities again and again over time, and finding them lacking, a disbelief in experiences holding the answer that is being sought sets in. This then leads to seeing what is present prior to the activity arising. It is also seen that this is present during and after the action, it is then recognized to be everpresent. This then begins to hold the attention on itself naturally, without any effort or method of any kind.
When this is seen it is self evident that this is what was being sought, this itself was what was all along seeking itself as a something, an activity, an experience and in the process bringing those activities into play. This that is forever present, the Eternal Awareness that has always been the witness of everything, is what one is,was and therefore always shall be. Totally familiar, ordinary, nothing special, I.
One is always this, this is all that there is, Nothing giving rise to the temporary appearance of everything which is no other than its own activity.
Now forget these words and allow the attention to be present on this that is witnessing the activity of thought and feeling. THIS is I, this is what has been sought, this is what has been seeking itself and this is what you are.
Familiar?
