D: This one spoke to me, thanks (if you are listening).

It is intriguing to be able to comment on beginnings

and endings while knowing there is no real beginning or ending.

Everything with a beginning and ending is subsumed by That which

doesn't begin or end.

 

Belief in oneself is something everyone seems to want to have.

To see such belief as obstruction is equivalent to knowing

immediately that one has never begun to begin.

People get very, very caught up in things that begin and end.

People want what they like not to end, and what they don't like

not to begin.

Without beginning or ending, there would be no worries about these things.

There would be no thought of someone there to worry, someone who began

and will end.

Who is there to identify?

The body-mind is defined here as 'not a doer'.

So how can there be anyone who has falsely

identified? Who could have done such a thing?

 

False identification can only be a pattern of

belief and action.

If it is indeed false, then who can claim to

be there to object to the false pattern?

If true identity is Totality, then who can

claim there is someone there who needs to hear

the message about false identity?
