experience the gap...

Usually the mind gets activated in response to the question,

"What am I?"

It starts thinking about it until true
intelligence breaks in again and says,

"Now wait a minute that's
just more thought."

Then there can be a gap of
quietness between thoughts, and if you are very present in
that gap, you stop acting out your familiar identity.

As
soon as identity jumps into the gap, you don't feel present
anymore.

Being nobody is usually so baffling to the mind
that it starts filling that gap very quickly.

"How can I be
nobody?"

But to fill it up with a somebody is meaningless.

If you really want to know what you are, just experience
the gap, experience the openness, and let it bloom inside.

There is no better way to find out what you are.
