Recognising your true nature

 ~ by Unmani

Beyond all labels and ideas what you are is awareness itself. Aware of whatever is happening. Presence itself. Only ever present, with no future or past.  Timeless.  Without reason or meaning. Meaninglessness beyond any idea of that being a depressing thought.

Freedom beyond any idea or imagination. Freedom which is right now, which never needs to ‘break free’ from any bonds. Absolute fulfilment which has always been fulfilled even when you were searching for fulfilment.  Absolute wholeness even when you believe that there is something missing.

Simply what is happening right now. The sensation of breathing, the sounds of the cars going past, the visual image of this page … just as it is without any improvement needed.

So the question is then, how do you actually realise this without just believing these words? Well, the answer is ‘you’ don’t.  You that you have taken yourself to be is simply a dream, an imagined figure who lives in a story in time.  The idea that you could achieve something is based in the idea that you are a separate individual living a life. It is a case of mistaken identity.

You are not just limited to a separate person living in a body. You have believed that you can fit yourself into a tiny box with a label, a name or role, when really you are life itself. Limitless, boundless, already free right now.  

You do not need to understand this or have any particular experience. Recognising this is beyond understanding or experience. This is a realisation or recognition of what you are beyond who you think you are. Otherwise these words are just words and mean nothing more than dead and boring concepts. Throw out all concepts, just for one moment, and see what is left.

You could say that this recognition is like a ‘bridge’ between time and timelessness. Just for a moment in time it is seen that there is no time. In that moment there is no one recognising anything. Blank. A moment of no thought and no labelling, understanding or owning the experience. A timeless moment where all the boundaries fall away and there is no separation. This is death.

In recognising your true nature, life goes on but something is different. Something has been affected in a way that you can not put your finger on. Nothing is different but at the same time everything has changed.  No one owns this change. You can not say ‘I’ve got it now’ because who do you believe could get anything?  

There is no one here who could ever go anywhere or achieve anything.  Whether the experience changes or never changes you never own anything. In fact, you have lost everything. You have lost all definition. But you can not even own this. Thought may keep trying to own and define it all but these thoughts never actually refer to a separate identity.  You never arrive at any final goal. In fact this recognition is a continual losing, a timeless free-falling of no-one into nothing.
