Q: How can I notice/become aware of the “me”?
MICHAEL: It’s what’s constantly trying to “fix” the moment.
“EVERYTHING is an expression of the One. The idea that the expression exists INDEPENDENTLY of the One is the essence of the belief in the person, that is the essence of the separate self. THAT doesn’t exist. THAT is just a thought projected upon what does exist.”
-GP Walsh
MICHAEL: Like the Sun’s rays are not separate from the Sun, but an expression of it.
Q: Are thoughts real?
MICHAEL: What is truly real is what flows through all beings AT ALL TIMES. So what is same there is same here is same everywhere. (Let that sink in.)
It’s just not noticed when we are in thought, in imagination.Thoughts are not real because they can flow to one, but not to another. You can have a thought that I don’t have and vice-versa. Because thoughts are in time, they come and go, i.e., there’s a time when they are and a time when they are not, they are not truly real.
What’s real never comes or goes… YOU.
That which is limited can never truly be UNLIMITED.
That which is UNLIMITED can never truly be limited.

Mind resists what is (or if it likes it, it resists it ending).
Awareness accepts what is, however it is.
Mind imagines a better future moment.
Awareness is only aware now.
Mind is never fully content for long.
Awareness’s nature is contentment itself.
The addiction to the journey for peace
is a distraction from directly experiencing
the peace that is already ever-present.
This is why Papaji said to, “Call off the search,”
and to notice something right where you are.
Something that is being overlooked… YOU.

Because you are every experience you’ve ever had you can’t BE any of them. Thus the Buddha laughed.

“The need to be something instead of nothing… so much suffering comes from wanting to be special… it’s terrible.” -Salvadore Poe
MICHAEL: Love this pointer by Sal… thinking oneself special in any way, shape or form (which the egoic thinking mind is doing non-stop) is imaginary division, separation, where there is none, and thus the horrible suffering Sal is pointing to. How can anything be more or less special if All is One? It doesn’t compute. No imaginary separation = wholeness = peace.
How could ETERNITY have a past or a future?
(Contemplate this is Silence)
