There's
less to me than meets the eye; there's a lot more to me than meets
the eye. And both statements are equally true, both for me and for
you. So who are we? There may be nothing there when I really look,
but I do know that I am, and so do you – it's about the only thing
we can be certain of. I am. I am the Am-ness – that presence that
is aware of all that (I, Me, Mine, You, Yours, He, She It, Them and
Theirs stuff) – and everything that those dudes do, think up and
feel. “I Am” is the awareness of it all. That's it. Just so.
That's all. The Awareness of everything that arises within this
awareness.
Everything
is happening all by itself and “Am” is aware. This “Am” is
the same awareness that you are. We are the same awareness, One
without any Second, getting a zillion different experiences and
perspectives [SNAP] all at Once. The mistake that you and I made was
to look at something we were aware of, bought into the thought
“That's Me”, jumped on board for the ride, claimed that
I-dentity, forgot who we are and got trapped on the Identity
rollercoaster. Ego, the “not-what-I-am” was born in that split
second, and has been pretty much running the show ever since. That's
OK. Am-ness/Awareness, although forgotten by us, has not ever
deserted us. It has been here, aware-ing all the while. Who-we-are –
that Awareness which was never born and will never die – always
has been, and still is That, is waiting for us to realise we're lost,
and come home. And home is as close as [SNAP] this, here/now.
