Waking Up from Waking Up

Enlightenment

Was just a dream,

-Now,

There is only

This.

Pathless

Really, there is no journey towards Enlightenment.

There is only the dissolution of the idea that you were ever a separate individual.

Under-Stand

Standing no-where

As no-one

There is nothing to get

And no-where to go.

Who dares to boast Enlightenment?

Who would cleave the universe in two?

Ah! Not So Enlightened Any more!

This is just this. This is as it is, simply, obviously; literally.

Just because you are seeing 'This' does not mean that your experience necessarily stays blissful and open. 'This' is free to arise as whatever experience it chooses.

It, has no preference. 'You' do.

Even after Awakening the mind can scream: 'It STILL shouldn't be like this. This feels too normal, where has the emptiness gone? The bliss? The specialness?'

The mind is very subtle. Very sneaky.

and suddenly you're agreeing....'Yeah! Where has it gone?'

We become limited again when we fixate on the special feelings or experiences and prefer them to feeling stressed, angry, upset or bored.

We forget that 'This' has nothing to do with us.

There is only Thisness flowering. Every petal is worthy.

Drop your concepts, throw away your spiritual jargon.

There is only This,

...and This is all.

Seeing the obvious - being the obvious

The realisation of the ordinariness of impersonal spontaneous awareness eliminates the notion of a separate, self-motivating individual who is seeking something called 'Enlightenment'.

Then it is seen that this so-called 'me' was only ever an idea arising within the impersonal spontaneous awareness which was - and always is - present.

See your obviousness.

It's the one thing that's truly yours.

You can’t get Enlightened twice

Many people seem to have an Enlightening experience, then subsequently loose it. There is then the sheer frustration of trying to get it back.

But once it is seen that what you essentially are is the spontaneous ‘knowing’ or ‘awareness’ in which all perception takes place, there is no possibility of forgetting it or loosing it. This is because, once seen, it is obvious that any further thought, doubt, emotion or action, only ever appears within ‘knowing’ or ‘awareness’. No amount of mental noise nor the opinions of others can then dissuade you from the obvious fact that any appearance, any phenomena, perception or experience can only ever arise within ‘knowing’ or ‘awareness’.

When you realise that you are essentially that knowing awareness then it is impossible to loose yourself, for you see that you always were and always will be everything and nothing.
