What Is Always Here
Lo que siempre está aquí
A gentle invitation to notice what remains constant beneath the flow of experience, sensation, and thought.
What Is Always Here
No need to push against anything that's happening.
Nothing needs to be denied.
Discovering what is always here
What can be found?
What can be discovered is what is always here.
It's already this, already here.
The attachment, the struggle is always with what's happening,
what comes and goes.
The illusion that what we're looking for is in that which comes and goes.
In ignorance, what comes and goes is struggle,
attachment and suffering.
When we know that which is here,
the emptiness from which what comes and goes is life and beauty,
divine mystery creating.
This is all here now,
ordinary,
extraordinary.
Sensations and the field of experience
Sensations,
the breath,
the skin,
the flesh,
the warmth or coolness,
the tingling.
Spaces of tension,
sounds,
colors.
World making, map making,
mind, self making,
other making,
naming,
dividing,
all in the mind.
The mind is just images,
shapes,
imagined sounds and concepts,
always appearing in the same emptiness.
Sounds,
sensations,
thoughts,
one field.
Undivided.
Before anything appears
What is here before a sound appears?
What is here before a thought appears?
Be always curious. Whenever there is a deep struggle,
be curious what has been forgotten,
overlooked.
Not to deny the struggle,
but to see what is prior to it.
What is here?
Always this nameless,
ageless,
boundless.
Beyond the mind
Simple. Mind needs not to understand it.
Mind cannot understand.
It is not an observer.
It is what gives birth to the observer and the observed.
It is here,
that which knows the observer,
that which is before the self is known.
