There is no project here
These words are often read as attempts to awaken the reader, as part of some “nondual project” to wake up humankind.
But there’s no project here.
This writing has no goal.
Words appear daily, sometimes in a flood, other times a trickle. They’re shared through fingers on a keyboard, attached to a flawed body incapable of writing anything nondual, since language is dualistic.
What’s shared are attempts to point to THIS.
THIS is what already IS.
Reality looks and feels like a separate self in a dualistic world but that’s only what it looks and feels like due to our interpretation of it. Ignore that well enough to see directly and the belief in a separate self can end.
Words appear here but no one writes them.
Reading happens but no one is reading.
And a recognition may arise.
But if so, who or what has it?
And did the words cause it?
The writer, the reader, and any “message” are stories appearing in/as THIS.
YOU are writer, reader, and message simultaneously.
YOU already contain all words, all meanings, all recognitions.
If you want advice on “how to wake up,” it is to do direct inquiry. And all my advice on inquiry is in the book Seeing No-Self.
Pointing to the point, forever disappearing. Just this.
Looping back into … joyously accepting this for what it is.
I will often read poetry. Yes, words and thoughts are definitely dualistic based…but if you arrange them in certain ways they can sometimes express the inexpressible. I read this post…and it felt like a poem. Thank you Kat.
