Prior to saying or thinking "I am seeing" isn't
seeing already happening?
Prior to saying or thinking "I am hearing" isn't
hearing already happening?
Prior to saying or thinking "I am feeling" isn't
feeling already happening?
Get into the feeling of what the statements above are pointing
at. Even prior to your saying or thinking anything about anything
it is already happening.
However, we are so caught up with the thought "I am ______" that
we believe it is true! It is the thought that brings the "I" into
the picture. Try to find this "I". Try to find this
supposed entity that is seeing, hearing, feeling. The entity
doesn't exist except in thought.
The thought "I am seeing" cannot see.
The thought "I am hearing" cannot hear.
The thought "I am feeling" cannot feel.
These thoughts derive their existence from the Source of
these happenings. The thoughts want to place 'ownership'
to these happenings. However, these can't be owned. They
are simply waves that arise and subside. Yet, these waves
cannot exist unless the Ocean exists. There is no "you" or "me" as
a separate entity. There is no "you" or "me" in
this moment. There is just "is-ness" (for a lack
of a better word). This "is-ness" is the Ocean.
It is just happening. The physical body-mind appears to take
the action and it does take the action, but you are not the
physical body-mind. You are the witness of this physical body-mind. All
that you can notice and witness cannot be YOU. You
are not this. You are not any thing that can be pointed
to or spoken about. Yet, you are the one that is aware
of all that is pointed to or spoken about. All that can be
pointed to or spoken about is witnessed by and occurs within
you.
