just I

[Guest guest]

I just found this new talk by Cee. I think she is great. I

resonate...what can I say?

Here is an excerpt:

 

It is important, therefore, to discriminate between this pure Being

in deep, deep meditation and some little flutter of arising. That

first arising is the arising of an " I. " If you can discriminate really

finely, right there, between Being and arising, you will

understand creation, because that is the moment of creation,

right there! And you create it yourself! No one else creates it! It is

the " I. " That is why we go deeply into our own sense of " I "

because right beyond -- or behind, we could say -- the " I " is that

pure Existence, where there is no individualized " I. " This is the

bottom line. This is really all that ever is.

 

So it is a matter of looking into " I. " Whatever you think " I " is, if it

seems to be a body, inquire, " Who is aware of that body? " If it

seems to be a thought, a movement, or an energy that seems to

hold that sense of identity, inquire, " Who is aware of that identity?

Go deeper and deeper into the Existence, itself. The Existence is

never an object. It is always the subject. So you go deep, deep,

deep into, you could say, the " feeling " of Being. In this way, you

eliminate all the objects that are illusory and binding. It is not that

you have to annihilate or kill the ego. It is simply that the ego is

not really there. You see it as an object and you know it cannot

be true, because who is looking at that ego? The clearer you can

look at the ego -- well, see if you can look at the ego! [Laughter]

Who is looking? Like that.
