To me Zen is about letting go of everything. and holding onto nothing, its about being open
to all and closed to nothing. Within the silence of this forever unborn eternal moment awareness
is present, we are awareness. We are not the mind, nor its opinions, nor its intelligence, nor its
knowledge, you are not the stories the ego creates, for you are the observing awareness. See
through the illusion that the ego attempts to project onto the world, in which you get lost and
from which all discontent feeds. No thought is true, but your presence that notices each thought
is.
Reactions are emotional vibrations from the person, but you are no-person, you are a Presence!
When the mind moves, you stay put, don't be pulled into its current of conceptual rhetoric, for you
are not the mind, you are the empty field of awareness, in which its restless movements appear.
Within all our ardent searching the most often searched for thing is freedom. what then is freedom?
Freedom is the end of all restless and anxious desire, it is the end the end of confusion, the end of
any sense of lack. True freedom is absolute contentment, it is realising inner-peace, peace is
always within one's presence of infinite awareness, which is always here, and is always NOW!
If we can begin our search by going within ourselves, making a regular commitment to practice
meditation or yoga, realise that you are not the MIND, which is just a relative construct of the
ego. rather that you are really that awareness that is always aware of who you really are, its just
that you have failed to notice that which is your eternal real SELF, and have mistakenly
identified with the very limited ego conscious mind, which is relative, while your awareness
consciousness that is the real YOU, is absolute infinite eternal SELF.
Emptiness is indeed boundless, and so is this awareness that you are, here and now Awareness
(the true SELFLESS SELF) has no perimeter or edge to it, It has no beginning, and has no end, it
is Limitless, BUT, that which appears within it (the world) is LIMITED, including the
personalized sense of self.
Warmest regards Michael.
