Abbott and Costello Who’s on First!!!!!

There is no one that needs to do anything there is nothing that needs to be done. The notion that there is a somebody that needs to deal with stuff is arrogance. THE ONE THING THAT NOBODY “GETS” IS HOW WONDERFUL IT IS WHEN ALL OF THIS DROPS AWAY!!!!!

This isn’t the answer for the individual: this is the death of the individual. The individual will do anything that it can to preserve itself.

That there is someone seeking – is a dream. When a dream collapses what becomes clear is that it never happened. Consciousness is a dream. It is based on a subject and an object therefore duality.

Every “thing” is a construct. People assume that a certain construct is what they are, what they need to be, to get, to become – all is temporary. The basic problem for the individual is the belief in a separated self. The reason it can never find what it’s looking for is because it’s not separate from what it’s looking for. There is only what is and the separate self will never know that. The story it’s telling itself never happened. The individual lives in a world of something else and there is no something else. The problem is that the individual is arrogant so it arrogates everything to itself: it owns everything. The story of the individual is I am the center of the universe I am important it’s all about me! The individual is a contracted sense [in the body/mind]. The only thing the individual can do is to separate itself. It can’t imagine reality without itself – the wholeness and completeness and fulfillment. The individual is caught up in the wonder of all the sights and sounds in this room and all the questions and all the colors and what’s going on. It never realizes that all of this [and infinitely more] is already known. They miss the miraculous wonder of it all. The individual has no idea what is being suggested here. None!

Absolute non-duality. Nothing is everything.
