What's happening?

What's happening doesn't include anyTHING, because it doesn't have any boundaries. --- Joey Lott

What is enlightenment?

It isn't! --- Wei Wu Wei

from the Pandacasi

How shall I grasp it? Do not grasp it! That which remains when there is no more grasping is the Self.

paraphrasing Wei Wu Wei

Each and every OB-JECT requires its SUB-JECT, which requires ITS sub-ject, and so on, ad infinitum.

I AM

There IS no place for any one or any thing to BE.

"Here"

"Here" is not a place.

"Now"

is not objectifiable.

the wave/Ocean metaphor

No matter how big the wave, it's not the whole Ocean.

non-objectivity

We, and our judgment, and all mortal things

go on flowing and rolling unceasingly.

Thus nothing certain can be established

about one thing by another,

both the judging and the judged

being in continual change and motion.


--- Montaigne

BE HERE NOW ???

You cannot escape it,

yet it can't be conceived.


--- Charlie Hayes

Where is my dwelling place?

Where I can never stand.


--- Angelus Silesius

"You"

are not living "your life."

"Living" is all there IS.

The "Knowing" which IS,

Which you ARE,

Is the one "thing"

That is beyond

Knowing or not-knowing.

not-two

There ARE

no separate things

to be 'different'

or the 'same.'

The 'Totality of Isness' cannot be an object.

Whose object could it be?

The Ultimate

The ultimate is that 'Enlightenment' means

NEITHER 'enlightenment' NOR ''non-enlightenment'---

which is ABSENCE OF AN ENTITY TO CONCEIVE EITHER.


--- Wei Wu Wei

no more worry

One in All, All in One -

If only this is realized,

No more worry about your not being perfect!


--- from the Hsin Hsin Ming

God alone is

Q: How to see God who is all-pervasive?

A: To see God is to be God. There is no all apart from God for him to pervade. He alone is.


--- Ramana Maharshi

"Experience (ing)"

Is that which cannot be described or defined

Because there is simply no place outside of it

From which we could do the describing.


--- J. Jennifer Matthews

everything

When nothing is,

you still are.


What is that you?


--- Nisargadatta Maharaj

seamless

The whole, being love,

there is nothing for you to set it against

and judge it by.


[Doing] so, you are driven to fancies.


--- George MacDonald

not a thing is -- Hui-neng

At the level of non-duality,

there is "nothing to do"

simply because

there IS no thing.

where?

When you are cognizing something as an individual,

where do you place yourself?


Consciousness is

that which is cognizing,

the cognition,

and that which is being cognized.


--- Nisargadatta Maharaj

being=awareness

Q: How can I stay stable in awareness?

A: You know you are. That is awareness. If you think you have to be aware, then it becomes an experiential state. You want to experience something.


--- Nisargadatta Maharaj

a total unity

Reality is infinite, thus unseizable.

We cannot take hold of it.

We can only allow ourselves to be seized.


--- Jean Klein
