' Free from the 'me' ...

"Yes, we go to this timeless background of consciousness and awareness. Absolutely. Very liberating isn't it? Very, very freeing; very profound and very beautiful.

And yet, if taken in and of itself, we've just switched sides of illusion. We've gone from form and time, to formlessness and timelessness, and we say: 'Well, this one's more true,‘ because it's more comfortable, it feels better, basically.

But the truth is, only when these two collapse together that this world of form IS the timeless, so what we call form is emptiness, it is consciousness, that's what it is. Then, there's no stance anymore, is there? There is no sense of 'I have to remain as awareness'.

We only have to remain as awareness if we don't reaily know that this wall is awareness, that your car is awareness , this existence is awareness, once we know that, then we're finally free, are we not?" from the "me" trying to get into the right state and stay there; only then the duality collapses."
