Headless Horseman

Busy week. Mood definitely suffered by the end of it. Things continually evolve. It appears that what things or situations are, is not what they appear to be, but surfaces happen all the time catching, "our", attention. There appears to be no surfaces when one is not caught in them. There doesn't appear to be anything. That's what all these surfaces are in the first place, even as we are born being caught in them. 

There is no place we can go when we see anything, for in seeing things we see no-thing. This no-thing shows that the reality of things is not the appearance, even when they appear out of the corners of our eyes. It shows us that no one is seeing, for this self has neither a head nor eyes. Words that are commonly used pull the attention into false beliefs about what is. They give a concrete sense of reality to personhood while the reality of personhood and self is the emptiness of personhood and self from all things. Personhood and self are a temporary expression of emptiness. 

What we call ourselves or "we" is a temporary expression of emptiness. It truly is emptiness. What we call we, the construct of the person, affects to perpetuate the idea of a lasting and permanent We or I that has definite substance. What is called we believes this definite we is in control when this we is fully apart of the self propelling nature of emptiness and requires no volition. 

People places and things do not exist in the way they are perceived to be. 

What I am is fully beyond the I. To see the full nature of self, what is beyond self must be fully seen. This is what I am. This is who I am. 

A self must fully empty itself of itself to fully become itself. 

It is true that no one is in charge, no one is working, and no thing exists. I am both nothing and everything for both are the same thing. Which is beyond ideas. 

Anything that is not a thing. A person that is not a person. A universe that cannot be found except exactly where it is. And is isn't anywhere at all. 

I think what's tricky is that formal expression is One with what is formless. You can't separate the two. They have to be the same. This is what that is. This is who I am. Who you are. There is no real difference between anyone or anything. It's all the same. We are all the same. A fullness that is empty. An emptiness that is full. Many faces with no face at all. 

To be awake I think is to see this Oneness. Or to see that you see it. No thing lies outside of it. No thing lies inside of it. I think we don't think we see it when we do, for it is everything that we experience.
