To know that you are the stage on which the play of life is performed, present before the actors arrived and remaining when the stage lights have been turned down, is a wonder and a freedom from the delusion of consequence, but of what use is it to say the play never took form upon your stage and so there is no play? You are the suffering misery and glory, heartache and joy that takes place within you. Dismiss your temporality and limitation but your story is a wondrous mystery and cause for gratitude.

P.S. that which is seen is *not* really the thing seen, because 'that which is seeing' is not a thing. Therefore, no-thing is. And the story never began.

I'm not aware of any time but now. ***If there is only now then you are saying there is no story. Could that have anything at all to do with why people keep thinking you're saying there is no story? Your latest story is that you keep getting misquoted. Another story is that your story never began. (My previous post was an attempt to encourage you to focus 12 inches lower on your imaginary body.

Each sentence is a story. For one with no story, there is no story about a story never beginning. " Beginning " is a story. There are stories about stories about stories. And there is no story. The sentence " there is no story, " is a story. .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
