"When you are standing there in the mirror and you're listening, ask yourself this simple question. Can you see what the eyes in the mirror are looking at? Because the space in which that face is happening is the space in which that worry and fear is happening - and neither one of those things are you." Beautiful. Thank you.
Am I the body, senses or mind? No. If I claim to be anything,that must be with me wherever I go.
Doing, perceiving, thinking and feeling do not go with me wherever I go. 'Knowing' alone is always with me. So I am knowingness of Consciousness alone. I am that always, and I am free. I can only be that which remains over when the object or active part is separated from the perceiver, perception or percept. "
In the east they call this "Tatrak Meditation"...I did many years ago, really a lot of fear arises, something like "having no head"...and I love you too!
THANK YOU! When I press "LIKE" and see the option "Share it with my friends", Ben, I want to share this with the WHOLE WORLD! What lies we've all been told, and, worse still, that we BELIEVE. No wonder the world is at war. The root of all the violence is RIGHT HERE, deep in ourselves, believing ALL the lies we were told and that we perpetuate, UNTIL we STOP and see them for what they are, LIES. What a fast way to have them jump out, simply listening to them by just looking in the mirror.

@PGCARVA You are not the attacker. You are the listener. :)

@NotTwoable What if this is just poetry that makes you feel better about dying?
