You can’t find anything now!
When you see it – it’s gone
When you taste it – it’s gone
When you smell it – it’s gone
When you touch it – it’s gone
When you hear it – it’s gone.
The moment we experience any thing, it is a memory. We never actually experience any thing now. Whilst holding onto what is seen, in milli-moments the thing has moved on. This happens so quickly that we do not notice the illusion in front of us. It’s like watching a film.
Phenomena is experienced through the senses, then goes through the wiring in the brain, is perceived by the mind, goes to memory for identification, judged for good bad or neutral, then reacted to. Everything takes place in the mind. The real experience is in awareness itself, not the thing it is aware of.
The only reality is aware of awareness,
and in that nothing is found.
That is pure awareness.
That is essence…it’s not that far away!
