44. Is any thought really what You ARE?

Q: You wrote in a message to me: “You are already That which you claim, as a phantom, to seek! The "Idea I" (repeated over and over in your messages) is NOT the I of Being”. Your last email slammed me.

C: The mind getting “slammed” might be good! But look, again with the believed “me”? My friend: Where is that “me”? What is it really? Just a passing thought. The thought “me” doesn’t represent any actual solid separate self. It’s a delusive false identity. That assumed identity is THE core error that drives what is pointed out as “mistaken identity”.

Look for a “me” and you will come up empty handed. In emptiness, prior to any thought of “me” or any other appearance, YOU ARE, present, aware and open; Conceptless and timeless. That YOU ARE is indisputable. That you are a “me” is very much open to challenge. The purpose of what is shared here is to reveal what you really are and also reveal what you are not. In brief YOU are awareness, and that awareness is fully present, free and clear, at all “times” in all “locations”. “Wherever you go... Here You Are”.

What are you NOT? Anything imagined to be a “me” somehow (impossibly!) “standing apart” from that awareness.

Q: It seemed to imply that any "Who am I" question would only generate an “idea-I” response. How does one get an “I of being” response? Or does one even get a response?

C: No. And THAT, the Silence that IS, is the “I as Being response.”

It seems that “the answer” is when the question becomes irrelevant, but I don't see how that works. When I listen to you and John Wheeler talk (really like those Podcasts) all that seems to come up for me is sort of a “gee, that would be awesome to see things that way” type of response.

C: What is all that you wrote above? Thoughts! Are YOU a thought? No. The pointer that needs “sinking in” at this “stage” of investigation into your true nature is that YOU are the Awareness IN which those and all other thoughts arise and settle back down. That never changes regardless of what apparently obscures it; the obscuring is only mental; a function of believing that the thought “I” is what I am and then adding a never-ending story of good and bad, wanted and unwanted, all driven by that single false belief.

That “I” does not exist. That means you do not exist, or said another way, “you: are illusory. You are like the water in a mirage! What makes you think you are separate from the whole? Just a phantom, a false assumption, nothing more that that. Simple! YOU are not that I; YOU are the ever-fresh clearing or opening that the I thought and its subsequent story of me appear inside of; like the clouds and sun appear inside the open empty sky. You are that Sky or Being-awareness and that is what you are confused about; the mistaken identity!

All that is provisional.
