Abiding in Space

This is the problem inherent in looking for yourself.

Is this self abiding in space, or self-abiding space?
We have to be very careful with what we are told.

‘Abiding in space’ suggests something abiding in space – a me.
Duality.
In ‘Self-abiding space’ there is no something to abide – no me.
Non-duality.

In meditation, this may not be recognised clearly,
and there may be only milimoments of true recognition.
Of totally letting go of letting go.

It is clear that outer space is merely self abiding, needing nothing to be – it just is.
The same goes for inner space.
The only difference is that inner space is pure knowingness/awareness.

It’s good to practise being aware of both – coming in and out of each.

Eyes open and aware of the whole scene including one’s peripheral vision.
Allowing everything to hit the back of the eyes instantaneously enables
this self-abiding awareness to be recognised, without any elaboration.
Like a child walking into a cathedral, one sees everything at once,
without identifying anything.

This is the meeting between outer space and inner space.
When the vase breaks, the space inside and outside are not different.
