The Seamlessness Between Awareness and Thought...

Yesterday's reflection, as with many non-duality writings, made a distinction between awareness and thought -- between nothing and everything. The mind falsely believes it knows what we are talking about when we locate a NO-thing called "awareness" in relation to a something else called "thought." But is the distinction absolutely real?

Don't think about what is being said here. Thought will always create distinctions. Just look. Where does a thought begin? It appears to arise out of and vanish back into this NO-thing we call "awareness." But where is the actual, solid line between thought and awareness?

Can you see the very point at which this NO-thing called "awareness" turns into this other thing called "thought?" Can you see the very point at which this thing called "thought" dies into "awareness?"

This reflection is not inviting a philosophical view or an attempt to grasp non-duality intellectually. Instead, this is an invitation to notice the seamlessness of life. Thought bleeds seamlessly out of awareness and falls seamlessly back into it. The line between thought and awareness can never really be found.

This One Life is apparently moving in and out of form in a mysteriously seamless way. The mind's idea that it "gets" non-duality simply because it has located a NO-thing called "awareness" and a something else called "thought" is ultimately just another dualism. There is nothing to get. Life is simply living itself seamlessly, way beyond what the intellect can grasp.
