"There is no trace of a believed personal self as a separate "I" present when Consciousness abides AS 'Our Natural State' (the non-state of effortless 'Emptiness', that in 'actuality', can, (confusingly at first) be both full and entirely free of Context and Content, subject/ object; ...much like an ocean of water can be free of salt or it can be saturated with salt and only the taste will show what is what..). . .
In equality, for most of us as Conscious Beings, in the first 18 months upon birth to this planet (and in the womb), when the sensations of Human Life are imposed upon our Spiritual-Silence,.. our societally programmed ‘sense of perceived reality’ via the Human-thought-stream process is kicking in...
As a result of societal programming, the effortless Natural State (in saturated Silence) is often un-knowingly abandoned as we grow into the consensus based sensory Human Life around us. . (often felt as a thought-stream of perceived reality of sensual delights, and/or with attendant pain and suffering trailing ever so closely behind, and all of which does what it does and continues effectually into adulthood, both with good and not so good affinities . . ..... . ). . .
Our Process of Presence can note these affinities, these ties, AS they arise within our Conscious-field in the very same instant they DO arise... and this is the foundation-stone of Aware-Presence whose results slowly, slowly arise, until such time as a quantum leap in Conscious-ness happens where pristine clarity is the result thereafter, as fruits of the process working, effortlessly show, as it does do...
Results of extrication FROM angst, pain, suffering and/or the longing to get back to Our Natural State we seem to feel we have lost, yet Our Natural State is not lost at all, is it, as it IS Our True Self?
What is supposedly lost is the human sensate wandering around trying to make sense of its' own spontaneous manifest reality... Yet, lost it is not, is it, as it here to explore a Human Life for good or ill... ?
In simply terms, our True Spirit Self is quiet, and energetically very serene and subtle, yet, the attenuation from that subtle is greeted with an overwhelmed sense of felt though-streams that human life provides in its infinite choice available to all of our sense of human senses...
Our Spirit Self does the sensing OF the human senses, naturally including thoughts/ thinking/ perceptions/ beliefs etc, etc...
Human senses which can be perceived as gross (compared to the serene and subtle Spirit Self)... yet, interestingly the Spirit subtle-ness never leaves us, which is why we do not have to find it... Do we?
What is needed is a means to allow the not so subtle noise of the Human Senses to be calm and thus, silent, and this is easy (and for some, extremely difficult), yet can be likened to riding a bicycle for the first time... as a lot seems to go into getting all available information lined up in ways that allow the balance coupled with peddling the bike... That is part A), the mechanics of HOW TO... yet what we are often after on the bike is part B) that of the expressions of experience that associate with breezing down a hill in bliss of the wind in our hair, or gently peddling along a country lane in a sunny morning...
The bike is the means only (like the hammer handle, or the recipe that is not the taste of the cake).. thus we can say that a little applied knowledge can go a long way, and in the case of a bike the whole planet is available...
And so, clouded by our altered state of human perceptions we appear to have come to Earth to explore, (an altered state; which is that of the mental interpretations/ ideas/ beliefs of impressions upon perceptions of Human Life),... the effortless un-altered Natural State recognition can and often is, (almost) forgotten entirely . . . (Yet, Interestingly when we STOP, we find that which is behind every word, deed, smell, taste, sight, touch sensation, can become apparent as a subtle field, (of which the Sufi Poet Rumi says "There is a field, I will meet you there" ). . .
The field is called more names than usefully employable. Yet the words used here to describe the 'field', 'True Spirit', perception, etc etc, are just handles (much like a hammer handle that has a head that drives a nail into wood with applied activity.
The whole process of engagement in explanation can also be seen like a cake mix before it is baked..
The hammer-handle needs to exist so the nail joins two parts together.
The recipe exists otherwise the cake will not come together well...
Words are just tools in the toolbox of the human sensate.
Thought, thinking, memory, belief, dis-belief, discernment, or a lack of any quality imaginable are all simply tools in the toolbox.
The tool box is not what we are...
The tool box is what we use. . . and the we of me is a thought saying a me and a we exist, when in actually the we and the me, are just thoughts within the toolbox, and when they are just thoughts within the tool box how can they be that which perceives ?
We are that which explores the toolbox, and is it not so that Silence is what is the explorer, yet no explorer exists, yet the exploring does exist in its' infinite probabilities and potentialities found within every human life explored. Is it not so that the Rumi mentioned field is the Spirit Self observing from/AS Silent Awareness... From that space which is discernible (by all human beings) as that space between thoughts?
. . . Thus, what we find is that the vibration levels of our perceived state of Human Life (with its attendant 6 senses and sensations arising), are very much of a coarse nature compared to the subtle nature of thought-less-ness/ 'Emptiness' of Our Natural State, and thus Human sensations easily overwhelm the quiet serenity of 'Emptiness'. . …
Our Natural State (the 'field', our Spirit Self, etc etc...) is the ACTUAL empty subtle serene pristine Silence, (that needs no thing at all to BE itself . . .as it already IS)...
Our Natural State simply 'IS' (as a verb with no do-er), in the sense that IT is here prior to Human Life upon Earth, and when the Human Life is dropped at the mortal coil departure time, Silent Aware-ness abides AS 'us'... So any 'us' is not confined to the Human Life, nor is it not NOT confined to Human Life...as perception in all its' varied meanings does in fact confuse itself with too many un-associated concepts...
Our Natural State transcends the limitations of words and speech and simply 'IS' what is,
It never leaves us due to the fact that IT IS, what we dump words towards as an 'us', when actuality no 'us' exists apart from as a
yet, Our Natural State of Silence is like a limitless-ocean in which

That's why most teachers advise meditation. . . so as to slow the minds thought-stream process . . .
. . . .thus, to be able to perceive/feel what is behind the veils of thought-streams...
It can Truthfully be said that: "The un-alterable Natural State of 'Emptiness' is the normal state of BE-ing is the same for all, whereas our ever-changing perceptions of our sense of the Human 6 senses is the actual infinitely varied-altered state of being"... and the way to find the Truth of this statement is to BE the Natural State prior to the thought-stream kicking in...
So (feel into this for a second or three), imagine that within early childhood years, we find that we are growing up with the perception of Our Natural State as a normal occurrence. . . (which we do do, even if it gets clouded over with the senses of human life)...
And within this feeling of 'Emptiness', like a cork floating on the surface of an ocean, is the altered state of Humanities perceived manifest world of madness and serenity. . .
It is ok like it IS,... provided of course, we leave that which does not need to be be fed, alone.
Do NOT FEED the animals, the trauma which can come from wherever, leave it alone.... the longing for the bliss we experienced that time when we were just hanging out doing very little. . . . .leave the longing to re-experience that orgasmic scenario alone... And by so leaving a space abides in which that bliss will effortlessly arise thru us once more... As the bliss is the backdrop that is easily expressed thru us... and when we find that the bliss is quietly within us 24/7 then the need to re-experience the same bliss over and over ceases ... the longing ceases... and an expanse of what has always been herein within us expresses thru us...
All of human life is ok, . . . just does what it does,
Do what needs to be done.... leave the rest of what arises AS our sense of human life via the human senses ALONE. . . Energetically feed the useful and prune the debris from our human psyche by simply noting its' existence yet not feed it... and that which does not get sustenance falls off us like mercury across a ducks' back....
and invariably, the Process of Conscious-ness can be quite disconcerting on an infinite continuum basis, yet, the thing about the process of not feeding the chatter-monkey(s) (within us) is that S P A C E appears within the break between thoughts like the thin edge of a wedge . . . {. . .well this is what the writer found anyhow} . . .

EDIT to HERE... Cont...
. . . The manufactured perceived 'I' (idea) naturally fades into its rightful placement . . .
And for this to ‘happen‘ we literally do nothing with what arises . . . feel it, observe it has any reaction, or re-activation attached, and unless the leave,
.
.
As the effortlessly abiding Natural State fully anchors, the entirety Human Life is found to be transformed/ and transcended in many ways and so, Human Life is apprehended everyday in many ways in a freshness of spirit as to marvelous mystery we all live….
So. . . It is not what arises, it is what is done with what arises that changes the day to day human life..." Samnoelpearce 🕉171010 101500 edited 100818 094800 and again edited 240719 201700 ited a©️
