Spiritual Awakening & Enlightenment Portal

Internal Self-Empowerment: We are here, now. I don't know how we got here, but we are here. Blood is circulating; breath is going out and in. There is sound and there is silence. Whatever I presume or imagine myself to be; whatever I choose to identify with in any given moment, such as this one, seems to have either nothing or everything to do with it all...

Listen to this first: Osho: What is Happiness?

Can you imagine nothing? No people, no earth, no universe, no consciousness, no anything; just eternal nothingness without witness?

So far for me there has always been something. Even in the deepest sleep, still, I am. I may not remember, but I have no evidence that I am non-existant in any moment that I look. Always, there I am, whatever it is that is me.

The universe is only appearances in my awareness. Space, time, trees, houses, people, these hands that are typing on this keyboard, the thoughts that are occurring as they do – these things are all external, secondary to the consciousness of them, secondary to me, whatever it is that I am. They are all in the category of observed things, and observed things come and go; none of them are me or mine; none of them can ever be presumed to be real apart from me.

If it is possible for me not to exist, then it is possible for this entire universe not to exist too. In fact it is certain. When I cease to exist, the universe will cease to exist too. It’s obvious that there can be no universe without me because I am an essential part of it. In fact, I am prior to it.

Sitting here, trying to imagine what nothing would be like, the thoughts settle down and I find I turn inward on myself. To get to nothing, I have to go through me. Is it possible for me not to exist? What is it, actually, that I am?

"There is only one mistake you are making: you take the inner for the outer and the outer for the inner. What is in you, you take to be outside you and what is outside, you take to be in you. The mind and feelings are external, but you take them to be intimate. You believe the world to be objective, while it is entirely a projection of your psyche." - Nisargadatta, I Am That, Ch. 51
