Satsang with Nome - You Are - Question 4

[Guest guest]

Another Q.: I tend to deny the depth of my experience and believe in

something else for a while. There is an apparent movement to

something away from myself. As I am describing this, if I look at it,

that does not actually happen. The apparent division doesn't happen.

At times, I think that it does happen. I think that I need to return

to something, but it is clear that it is the wrong thing to which to

return.

 

N.: Do you, yourself, go anywhere or return anywhere? If your Being

is steady, what possible relation could all this coming and going

have to you? What relation can you have to that which comes and goes?

 

You say that sometimes you deny your experience. Do you deny your

existence?

 

Q.: No, that is impossible.

 

N.: So, of all experiencing, you are that which is most immediate.

 

(silence)

 

You are of the very nature of Existence, which is inseparable from

itself.

 

Q.: I think that I see what you are saying. The most immediate

experience is That, and there is not anything beyond That. If there

would be, it would be something that I was making up.

 

N.: If you make up something, inquire as to what actually is your

identity. What is your nature? You will find it to be always pure

Existence, which is pure Consciousness.
