Last Friday I heard a radio show with Christopher Bowman as the guest. He mentioned that if you don???t start from the number 0 you life will not add up right. That???s because you???re starting from the wrong reference point or identity.
Assuming that you are limited to an object that you see like a body or a mind, you live your life experiencing the joys and subsequent sufferings and death of that character.
The mistake is that you overlooked your real identity which is the substance of the whole universe. We call this identity Awareness. As the seer, Awareness is not contained by any object that it sees. And yet the sense of reality that a form has comes from your awareness of it.
Finding your real home
So the purpose of Self Knowledge is to return to the home where you live anyway, which is space like awareness. While you can???t see Awareness you can know it directly because that is what you are.
This Awareness is literally like space. Space cannot be contained by a pot, a room, or a building. If the pot breaks or the building collapses the space returns to its original place. But to space itself, nothing has really changed.
The world comes inside
When you return your identity to Awareness the world that you thought was out there comes inside. Like space you become everything and nothing both at the same time. If the mind starts spinning quickly as if it is out of control, or if the body breaks up and dies, to you nothing has happened. Reality remains the same, just as it always was and as Awareness you remain the same.
Standing here life adds up just right
Returning home, your life will add up just right no matter what situations you have to face. From here your counting will be accurate and true.
Question everything
Here I always encourage questions. People take too much for granted about the world, their body, mind, and their nature. Questioning encourages you to take a fresh look. Looking afresh, once again life becomes fresh and a real adventure. Without changing a thing, everyday experiences become completely new. If you need help with your questions you can write me at michael@ananya.com.
