Guest guest Posted May 23, 2001 Report Share Posted May 23, 2001 'i' am nothing and nobody.. 'forgetting myself' entirely, the Existence is emphasized and 'i' am de-emphasized right to the point of nonexistence. This allows the entire Existence to 'emerge' from behind the cloak of 'me'. There is nobody here, 'no body'. 'No mind'. With 'me' (and the obsessive 'me-thoughts') out of the way, thus can the whole existence have a place... otherwise it is obscured by the illusion of 'me'. No 'central controller', no 'perceiver' -- the Existence remains and 'i' am 'reduced' to nobody, nowhere... no such thing as 'me'. To speak of this is of course to affirm the 'me', even to create a 'me' -- but there is no other way to explain it. How is it possible to even smell the fresh air if there's a 'me' with it's ideas, conditionings, goals, plans and thoughts getting in the way? There is no such 'person' as 'me' and no thoughts connected with it. Only the existence IS, the whole thing, the 'wilderness' -- the 'myself' is not here at all.
