Hi Bill - The "...Hello Preston - love to you.<br /><br />Hi Bill - The "experiential clarity" is simply an opening without conditioning - the filter is not there. Seeing the world as it is, as waves of the ocean, patterns of one essence - it is realized that conditions are not only unnecessary but no longer make any sense. <br /><br />Correct understanding brings this clarity, this uncaused joy. But even that is just an experience which comes and goes - as it is just another wave upon the ocean, MADE of ocean, even joy is not attached to, not held onto, not coveted or desired. <br /><br />Forget about the experience of it and remain with the understanding until there is complete conviction - unshakable. Let the play be as it is. Then even the filter can return and it's irrelevant.<br /><br />You're sitting there, or you're walking along - something is aware of it. Of course the body-mind is active, the neurons are firing and the blood is pumping and the muscles are moving. Yet something is aware, something beyond that inert body, presence, sentience - awareness of your existence, the knowledge that you ARE. That presence is not Bill. Bill is just a name for the body-mind. This presence is Life, intelligence, presence.<br /><br />It's SO difficult to put into words but it's SO simple. THAT which comes and goes cannot be anything but a pattern, a form-ation - a form OF "something". That "something" is THAT which IS - that "something" patterns into everything objective, yes? So the tree is that Life - the rock is that Life. Yet that subjectivity, that which we call "I" - that cannot stand apart FROM that "something".<br /><br />As you walk outside, look up at the sky, the trees, the clouds, notice the thoughts, feel the breeze... What is aware of this? Is it Bill or is it Life? <br /><br />Go give it a try and see if you can answer that one with confidence. Then you're done one way or the other.<br /><br /><br />love<br />randallRandall Friendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18004296258866577268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102779776758563952.post-38001396867834543752012-02-25T17:47:56.940-05:002012-02-25T17:47:56.940-05:00Hello Randall,
I was bushwalking recently and &qu...Hello Randall,<br /><br />I was bushwalking recently and "clearly saw" that the Bill body/mind does nothing, knows nothing, never emotes or desires, does not think etc. I saw the appearance as a puppet show and it left "me" thinking that this Bill character is definitely not me. I want to make that latter point strongly because I did not think I was anything else either.<br /><br />This stayed for a day or so and has now left me. However, if I think about it, it is so clear that there is only this universal seeing/intelligence expressing as many...just one big Oneness.<br /><br />Would you think that correct understanding versus the experiential clarity would ever meet? As I type the question they have already...<br /><br />I would appreciate your comments.<br /><br />Love to you Billbilltyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06726836387521342250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102779776758563952.post-83434064394119914382012-02-25T17:33:39.124-05:002012-02-25T17:33:39.124-05:00Hello Randall,
