WARNING

I’m flailing about in groundlessness! I have to warn you that at a certain point, the wild discovery of Self/God exacts a terrible price. I had no idea. As we know our Self/God, so too does Self/God take an interest in us, and before we know it, we are recruited—with or without our permission—to SERVE.
We weren’t told, but this is a sacrificial journey, and the further you go, the greater the sacrifice. It all makes perfect sense… but the poor personal person is rocked to the core.
Just thought I should let you know.

There is no inhabitant of the ground of being.
No one in the space.
I am that space.

Why do I meditate?
As part of a morning routine and connection to…?

Sometimes, the revelation of truth:
I am not defined by thoughts and feelings—
In fact, there is no ‘I’ there to be revealed to.

What value is this?
Enormous.

A space.
A hole in the chaos of the spaghetti of the mind.
It is not my space.

Is this of value to anyone else?
Ah… is there anyone else?

Only looking and experiencing—
A world of objects, thoughts, and feelings.

There can’t be anyone else’s thoughts and feelings either—
It is all ‘coming from’ the space here.
