This morning was a very quiet Meditation and the thought from yesterday about no "I" no
problem appeared and it can be seen that someone thinking there is no
"I" might in this world seem crazy...but when one Sees ... there is
no "I" then it seems crazy that one could have ever believed there
was one.
Like when you find out Santa
Claus isn't real or that there is no Tooth Fairy...that you had believed in
them both so fully and then were told that they don't exist...that is how it is
with the "I" we have been told since we are born that this
"I" that we think we are is real...but there is no "I."
Then the thought appeared of
the "I" being a plant in the soil and it is time for the plant to
come out of the ground...so appears the questions "who am I?" and
that question is the both the Gardener and the shovel for which the plant is
dug up...it gently begins to dig up a little soil and a little more and the
plant doesn't necessarily want to be dug up...it wants to stay in the ground
because it doesn't know where it is going...so it grows some roots.
The roots are the thoughts
that say "How" "Why" "Where" and the Shovel
continues to dig with the only thought that can answer those thoughts directly
and completely into Silence/Stillness and that is "who?"
The roots are how and why and
the answer/the digging out is "who?" and no one can do this for
you...you must be willing to dig/investigate for yourself. As you do you begin to find that you are not
only the plant/"I" thought but you are also the Gardner and the
Shovel.
Eventually and sometimes quite
suddenly....all the digging is done and the plant/"I" thought is out
and it lays on the soil and thoughts still come to attach to it...to tell it
what it is...but they do not stay as long because everything is done and the
plant/"I" thought rests in itSelf.
It doesn't know if it will be
planted or what it will be used for ...but it no longer needs to because it is
not separate from itSelf...it now Sees that it is the whole Garden and that it
has always been this way...it had only thought that it was a plant...but now it
sees the plant lying on the ground and it Knows that it is not just the
plant...but that the plant/"I" thought is in It.
