Is there no one inside here?

 

Is there no one inside here? Is there no person in the body? Is

thought pretending to be a separate independent I me entity,

individual, person with preference and power to create, change,

choose, control, achieve, attain, get, gain, grasp, want, need,

require, desire, own, do, be or become something, anything? Am I

still taking myself to be a separate independent I me entity,

individual, person? Am I still taking myself to be this body, these

thoughts, the objects, the things these thoughts are referring to?

 

In the investigation, exploration, inquiry, questioning, challenging,

seeking, examining, close looking, deep looking, is thought referring

to anyone or anything real? Are these thoughts about a thing that has

no reality? Does the evidence prove that the separate independent I

me entity is non-existent? What is actually here?

 

Is the nature of the separate independent I me entity, individual,

person only an untrue thought, an erroneous concept, a wrong idea, a

fallacious, invalid, misleading, deceiving, delusory belief, a

fictitious story, a running commentary, a memory, a fantasy, an

imaginary, fictional, illusory, empty, unreal image that comes and

goes, appears and disappears, arises and passes away, always

changing?

 

What is it that the I is really pointing to, really referring to,

that never changes, that is already and always right here, right now?

Is there no one, or no thing, that the separate independent I me

entity, individual, person thought, concept, idea, assumption,

belief, story, commentary, image refers to, but only a clear opening,

a spaciousness, a cognizing emptiness, an aware no-thing-ness, a

formless potentiality and capacity for all forms, a wide open space,

non-dual, one without a second, being awareness, existence awareness,

presence awareness, non-conceptual, space-like awareness, because of

which, everything is appearing, in which, everything is appearing,

and as which, everything is appearing, expressing, manifesting,

objectifying?
