Clearly


Clearly:

clearly, it's all consciousness - that I'm aware of anything is by basis of a foundational reality of awareness consisting of the universe itself, nothing but this, and I find it obvious to note. I arrive to this through my own experience, easily, a simple inquiry offered by the British philosopher Douglas Harding, to first look and find the absence of my head, a serious investigation of seeing, pointing to the obviousness of what can never be found by own eyes. This is done with curiosity and innocence, setting aside any forgone conclusions of what's believed to found, looking for myself without aide of photo or mirror, actually pointing and searching towards the source that holds the origin of my view. 

what I find is clearly my own conclusion.

without too much detail, I will say that in the absence of what's expected, of not finding my head where it should be found - the entire world is revealed, no, even further still, as the far reach of sun, moon, and stars are shown by my absence too. From this initial pointing, an inquiry of what seems so obvious, and yet in place of the appearance of my head - awareness. 

clearly.

everything is present here, appearing, and nothing claimed as my own, only presence, aware. It's with this that I make the claim that there is nothing but consciousness, awareness being all that's noted and found, and all based upon the present evidence of this seeing. 

and yet,

none of this is absolutely so, experience being only mine, and I have no idea if this is so for you, anyone, and if it matters much at all. It's simply true for me and remains obvious with every further looking. This isn't my belief, but my own self and selfless discovery, repeated for the sake of awe and wonder it produces, a practice only in the sense of my enjoyment. Consciousness may only extend to the limits of my noting, and yet my world remains aware. 

clearly.

and this all I really know.
