Clarity Session One

Space as Mirror, Body as Mirror

Fred: Hello, Brook! Great to be with you again!

Client: You too!

F: So what's up? How are you doing?

C: (laughing) You mean other than losing my enlightenment?

F: (laughing) Aha! This happens a lot; it's not a problem. It's just part of it.

C: I'm not really worrying about it, and I know it isn't so, but it sure as hell feels so! I guess it is a little frustrating.

F: (very quickly) Is that true? Who's talking when you say that?

C: (sheepish smile) Me. Little me.

F: And who is that?

C: The ego. I know it is.

F: And who is that? Beyond a feeling that there must be an ego around here somewhere, can you actually find that ego?

C: I haven't tried. It hadn't occurred to me.

F: Well, let's look for it together. Does it feel like it's attached to that body?

C: Yes! I know it isn't so, but you told me to go with my experience, and that's what I'm doing. I mean that I feel like I—it, little me, whatever—it feels like I am this person.

F: Well, let's see if that feeling is true, okay? The fact that you say, "it feels like I am this person," means that you already know that isn't true, which is great. It won't be too much of an uphill struggle for us. Are you sort of torn on this, maybe torn between your thinking and your experience?

C: Maybe so, but not in the way you'd think. My feeling right now is that I'm this person, but my memory says it knows better, that somehow I'm not. But I can't remember what I am! I can sort of remember what I'm not, but I can't for the life of me remember what I am.

F: What you are cannot be remembered. You can only be yourself, you can't remember yourself. It's way beyond the reach of the mind.

C: That's right. My mind can't remember quite what it was that it saw when we talked the first time, but it remembers that there is such a thing as realization, or enlightenment, or whatever. So my thinking is working for me this time!

F: Is that true? Do you know that your thinking is being helpful in this? Are you sure?

C: No, I'm not sure. I think my thinking is being helpful. But that's just a thought about another thought! Oh God, I'm completely lost.

F: Don't fret, all is well. Everything's going just as it should, it really is. Do you know that you're not supposed to feel lost right now?

C: No, I don't.

F: Exactly! Now you're telling the truth! Is there any evidence to support the idea that you shouldn't be lost?

C: Nope.

F: Then let's just take reality for what it is. Reality is What Is. Always. So, relax, you're supposed to be feeling lost right now. That doesn't mean you should feel lost in a minute, or ten minutes, or half an hour. We'll have to
