Nothing ever happens.

I meditated and nothing happened.

I meditated some more and nothing happened

I meditated for many years, still nothing happened.

Then I realised that nothing happens.

 In this dream-like passing world, nothing truly happens. Dream-like phenomena is moved by dream-like consciousness. Each dream-like moment seems to exist and the next moment it has gone, like the frames on a cine film. The only constant is the light of dream-like awareness shining on the film.

 If nothing truly exists, can anything be said to truly happen? It is all held together by the stickiness of consciousness in the form of a dream-like “I”. We have been viewing the dream-like film for so long, we do not recognise the flickering (the cinema used to be called ‘the flicks’!)

We can still enjoy the dream, but be aware of turning the dream into a nightmare. Selfish things are happening in this dreamworld, but the trick is not to believe that they are ultimately real.

When the awareness shining on the film is realised as Pure Emptiness all illusions are seen clearly.

“My dream-like form

Appeared to dream-like beings

To show them the dream-like path

That leads to dream-like enlightenment.”
