Emptiness

Sometimes beings come and proclaim
that they have discovered the great emptiness.
Everything feels beautiful, spontaneous, intuitive, free.
'What more to be done?' they say, 'it is finished.'
But then suddenly it is gone.
They speak in past tense and say, ‘It was so wonderful.’
But what made it ‘was’?
Are you a tourist in the emptiness, a visitor?
This one who comes into the emptiness cannot stay in emptiness.
He has to go also.
This identity that says,
‘Yes Mooji, I was there but now I feel I am not able to stay there,'
and so on, is still the person speaking.
Something is still deeply identified with personhood
and there does not seem the space nor urge to see clearly:
But this person is also phenomenal.
Even though it is felt energetically like it’s flowing in the veins, closer than intimacy, 
it is still only a sensation or movement in consciousness.
Remember and observe: all comes and it goes.
As soon as it is observed from the deeper place
that the person is only imagined,
no further work needs to be done.
The power is held in the Awareness.
And all illusions evaporate.
