Here

WHAT IS DIRECTLY HERE?

No matter what image you have of your true Self, that image cannot be the Truth. When you see this, it becomes easy to experientially recognize what's right here. Just what's right here—eternal consciousness, pure spirit.

Once you realize this deeply, not with the mind or through deductive logic, but through a direct awakening, then everything else becomes rather simple. Once your world of conceptual knowledge gets put in its rightful place, it is transcended.

You see that you are eternal consciousness now appearing as woman or man, this or that character. But like every good actor, you know you are not what you are appearing as. Everything that exists is consciousness appearing as, or God appearing as, or Self appearing as, or spirit appearing as. The Buddha called it no-self.

When that's seen, you see Unity. There is only God. That's all there is: God appearing as a floor, as a human being, as a wall, as a chair.
