cant be fooled again

We are not a thought, or a feeling. We are pure, clear, presence. Nothing can be seen as it truly is because the human filter distorts everything, its the disease of perception! If we could  tap into our true nature we would see that no labels apply. We are the blank screen, The screen isn't bad or good  its just reflecting  whats being projected onto it. We continue to take ourselves to be these images and roles. We try to find peace by improving our self image and taking on better roles. What we are cannot be improved no matter how great our image nor can it be diminished by thinking what a big bag of crap we are.

space like awareness

 There will always be space no matter what forms are around. Space cannot be seen or experienced. It is whats experiencing.  Form cannot experience what you are. As a child we develop the sense of I, a separate individual, and at death this sense disappears. What we are is before the birth of the body and continues after the death of the body. The body is what gives rise to this sense of being a self, and our belief system becomes based on the fundamental illusion of being a separate self. Hearts beat, lungs breath, eyes blink, hair grows, brains think, Shitting happens, it all just happens, with no separate self doing anything.

Without you nothing exists

Our true nature is covered up by the world we have created, you cant here the still small voice when the noise of the past is so loud. Both are present, the ego is the loudest and demands attention. We can recognize our true nature and become self aware. We are already that perfect, changeless, timeless presence that appears as a body with a mind that can recognize itself, or can also ignore its Oneness.  You can be aware of someone feeding you a shit sandwich and wanting to fucking kill them. You can be aware of someone giving you a monkey and wanting to hug them.  Situations, emotions, and thoughts all change but that pure awareness doesn't , no matter whats put before it.

no separate existence

Bodies moving around with thoughts popping in heads, just like whats happening  here! Clearly  this oneness is formless and timeless.  All mental suffering is due to identification with form.
I remembered my first teacher asking me "if I chop off your arms and legs are you still you? If you had a heart transplant and a lung transplant are you still you? and I had to search to locate myself. I even had to admit that I had no control over thoughts and the activity of mind.  Where was I? It has been called awareness, consciousness, beingness, and many other attempts to express the inexpressible.  Body and mind continue on business as usual, but its apparent that everything exists in this oneness that we all are.
