   I have not been writing lately because as I began to write, I watched the things I was writing

  
  

   And ego warning were going off… telling me I was living 

  
  

  largely unconnected … to the the state of presence,

  
  

  Living in the images in my head…

  
  

   

  
  

  I have lots of juicy rationalization as to why I have I have been unconscious

  
  

   Running habitually on automatic  and not present 

  
  

  but talking about those rationalizations, and blaming something external,

  
  

  like the state of the world,  our unconscious culture, politics or school..

  
  

  Or even myself

  
  

  Well blaming .. would be just another step … hip deep into the mess

  
  

  I try to remember

  
  

   The state of presence is regained by letting go,

  
  

  gently without self reproach …

  
  

   

  
  

   dis identifying and shedding away

  
  

  the constantly forming self images that arise from the mind

  
  

  and would seek to tell me   

  
  

  who I am

  
  

   

  
  

  Who You are

  
  

   

  
  

   beyond the models 

  
  

  beyond the mental noise of the mind 

  
  

  We exist as a momentary field of conscious presence

  
  

  a screen of awareness that is one part of the whole

  
  

  We are life experiencing .. aliveness 

  
  

   It yet it does not help to remember this

  
  

  to regain presence I know I must

  
  

  stop thinking about it and 

  
  

   be it 

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   A self image is the time bound mind 

  
  

  distraction us away from presence

  
  

  In just such a way even a self image of being a good christian  

  
  

  and trying hard to live according to the model

  
  

  or living the image as a spiritual person

  
  

   Trying hard to be here and now…

  
  

  is missing the point entirely

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

  You often finding yourself half way here and now

  
  

   and half way hoping ….

  
  

   Now will be here soon

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   All teachings are mere signposts to presence

  
  

  Lots of traps on the spiritual path

  
  

  to identify with one particular form or model of teaching is not required nor is it helpful

  
  

  To identify with any particular one is entrapping

  
  

   

  
  

  Watch your thoughts impartially

  
  

  If an image has formed in your mind 

  
  

  As Who You Are

  
  

  Wake up Neo

  
  

  The matrix has you
