"Self
being
Self
is all there is" may be a provocative assertion in certain circles.
Yet it's an assertion with neither any moral nor philosophical nor
religious overtones. When I'm being
mySelf
being
Self,
that is to say when I'm being fully
who I really am,
then "The
Self
being
Self
is all there is - there isn't anything else" is experientially
obviously true.
Notice this assertion isn't the same as a spiritual
dichotomy which asserts "I'm not my body.". I once knew a
girl who, in claiming
enlightenment,
asserted "I'm not my body.". Then one day she accidentally slammed
her thumb in a closing door. That's when she discovered she
actually does in fact have a very powerful
relationship with her body.
It's all
Self
being
Self.
And we don't stay
present
to it for too long, perhaps because we're thrown not
to. We're thrown to look for and quickly get away to the
next
thing. But there's nothing
next
which isn't this. Neither is there anything to come which will
explain this, offer an escape from it, alleviate it,
or give it meaning. This is all there is.
This is
it!
This is exactly how Life turned out. Life's always
been turning out like this.
Listen: I also know how it's going to turn out from now on.
Really I do - and you and I don't have to be psychic to know how
it's going to turn out from now on. Here it is: the way it's going
to turn out from now on is the way it's going to turn out from
now on. Yes, that's how it's going to turn out from now on.
That's all Life ever does. It's been doing it for eons.
Self
being
Self,
Life's been turning out the way it turns out for eons.
When you're being
yourSelf
being
Self,
that's
transformation.
When you're not, it isn't. When I'm being
mySelf
being
Self,
that's
transformation.
When I'm not, it isn't.
Transformation
is the
Self
being
Self
(as
Werner Erhard
may have said). It's about being the
Self
being
Self.
And when you got it, you got it.
