Eye-Am
Im going to tell you all that I know. Understand first that I only know and accept what is empirical and absolute, not as communicated by any person or institution of personhood, but as related to me by the particular environment in which I find myself. I am not going to communicate to you an idea, for an idea is no more than an orderly dream. I'm going to tell you what I know, and I only know the Truth as my senses relate that Truth to me; thus, I tell you only what my eyes see clearly.
My eyes are blue just as the sky is blue. My left pupil is at times a square, at times an hourglass, at times it is round like your own. These statements are facts, though facts are not always what they may seem. Neither my eyes nor the sky is ACTUALLY blue. Both are illusion caused by a phenomena known to physics as Rayleigh Scattering.
I assure you, despite the Blue, they sky over your head is darkness rising to infinity.
This is not poetry nor is it mystic vision. What I will tell you is All that i know and I know no more or less than this:
There is no God.
There are no gods collected as God.
There is no goddess.
There is no savior of the faith.
There is no faith.
There is no religion -
No science.
No philosophy.
There is no right way nor wrong way, in and of itself, of going about the business of your life
No good to perceive, nor is their evil -
for what we determine to be good is just as likely as not.
A little girl saves a butterfly from a stalking cat. "Good" we say to the child, as the very next flutter of the butterfly's wings sets into motion events causing a tsunami in Indonesia.
Such a scenario is absurd unless you're a meteorologist.
Cause and effect.
This is what theologians try to say when they speak of 'The Will of the God'.
There are only two varieties of human existence -
the known
and the unknown.
What is it to be known?
And just what is it that is doing this knowing?
That which Knows is a Self embodying all selves and Knowing all creatures.
A Self moving all created selves from the beginning of all movement.
You might say this Self is Nature. You might say this Nature is anthropomorphic.
But both assertions would be misguided.
The Self that knows all selves is reflected in its individual manifestations, therefore, the smaller selves behave in a similar fashion -
they are, as is said,
'made in His image'.
All of humanity understands the fact of this Self in Existence.
From the beginning of our humanness we have understood it. The anthropologists refer to pervasive knowledge as being 'a cultural and historical universality'.
Think of a shadow trying to discern the object that cast itself. Not liking its place in this relationship, eventually the shadow came to believe that shadowness is object and object is shadowness. The only complexity in regards to the reality of Self is in the confusion of this inversion. Shadows speak in their own peculiar languages, but Object speaks in a Language of Pure Awareness. This is Self. Self is All-Awareness.
If i tell you that I am the God you will not except this as fact. But if you understand that God is you we shall recognize one another.
The choice is a simple one. It is not what actions we choose or what gods we should follow. It is not what we will make of our lives or how we should earn our livelihoods.
It is, rather, are we to be our selves or are we to be our Self?
Are we the beaters of our hearts or is our Heart Beaten?
Is life what we make of it or is Life Made for us to Be?
Is there knowledge outside Self or is Self Knowledge?
There is no age nor ending. Time is an expanding orb which burst forth from a pinhole in an Other-Side. Every moment in time is to move. And to Move is all-ways towards Expansion. If you believe yourself sitting still it is of no importance.
Do this and you will understand what I'm saying to you. Go outside and stand in the grass and look at your feet on the Earth. Seeing that your feet are where they are, know that the ground is spinning your body at a rate of 1000 miles per hour. Know too that your body is hurling itself around the Sun at a speed of 67,000 miles per hour. At the same time know that the entire galaxy is traveling your body outwards towards the unknown at a rate 1.3 million miles an hour.
You have never been still.
You are not feet on ground.
You are not earth spinning.
You are not sun hurtling.
You are not galaxy outwards through space.
You are not space.
You are not even you.
You are exactly only
Self in Place -
and I will Love you
Everywhere you are.
