If you're looking for a way, you're lost.

If you've found the way, you're not where you want to be yet.

If you're not interested you'll stay the way you are and never evolve.

A way that can be described, prescribed, and followed is not the way itself. No way.

What's a way anyway? And who needs one?

( With the whole emphasis on WHO?)

If you don't know who it is who needs one how would you know if a way was necessary?

Or, you might say you've found the way to be just where you are. Impossible. There is no way to where you are.

If you need a way, you must think you're going somewhere else other than here and now. When were you ever 'somewhere else?' I don't mean outwardly. I mean you.

When were YOU ever somewhere else? Where ELSE can you be? Go there and see if you're somewhere else.

How on earth can here and now go somewhere? Why would it want to? I'm not talking spatially. Space is the context that seems to define you, by seeming to be where you think you are not.

Is that where you are? Always in the centre of where you're not.

Is this clear, or is it so damn confusing you'd rather go somewhere else and change your mind? If you've half a mind to change your mind you really will be confused.

Like being two people and one wants to change the other but they're both you, so if you succeed you fail.

But if you let your mind wander it'll fool you into thinking it's thoughts are yours, instantly.

So whatever thoughts occur, that wil be who you think you are, continuously, with never a break.

If you try and stop the process you will think that's who's doing it. Funny isn't it? Or not?

If you decide that it really doesn't matter, how then will you find out if it really does or not?

A conclusion is supposed to come at the end, not the beginning. Otherwise you just have a closed mind.

What's a mind anyway? Apparently nobody knows. Not even scientists, psychologists, biologists, yet we take it for granted and say,”I have one.”

If i say “Show me,” you can't because you've never seen one and neither of us knows where it actually is, no it's not just in the head. So you make a show of giving me a piece of your mind.

“Well of course,” you say, “it's invisible, but i can hear it.” Could just be those thoughts again, tricking themselves into thinking you can actually 'have' what you 'are,' and simultaneously therefore 'are' what you can 'have.'

Are you bored yet?

Don't we just set up situations that define us to ourselves, and they always involve a lot of other people whether we like it or not, and the majority of them are no longer present?

Who would we be without them? Or who are we with or without them? Do 'they' know?

To know your experience isn't it pointless to ask somebody else? Let alone believe what they may say. How, do you think, they could experience what it is to be you?

There's a lot of projection goes on. Everywhere, pretty much continuously. Movies of love and hate, advance and retreat, welcome and denial.

Funny isn't it? Not always. Not usually.

Especially as it's being acted out physically, collectively, against itself.

If you depend on what you're not, to define what you are, you're lost. Or at least can't claim to be independent. “To see ourselves as others see us,” no thanks. Don't think so.

More often than not, we're way off the mark.

But we don't like to realize or even consider that.

It makes us unsure who we are. But who am i to talk? ~
