Doubts

By turning the attention to the mind, immediately there are doubts. More thoughts rush in to question the questions, confirm or contradict other thoughts. A maddening cycle...

Notice when thoughts are paused there are no doubts; the certainty of (doubtless)Being is obviously present; the unquestionable FACT of EXISTENCE. Notice that the Being is ALWAYS presently shining, effortlessly and spontaneously. Stay with that undeniable non-conceptual confidence. Your Being has always been present for every single experience. That natural cognition in which all experiences arise is not a person.

Be as you ARE and not what you imagine yourself to be.

Colleen,

When thoughts are absent, what remains ever present, shining, and unchanged?

Colleen Loehr said...

Good question...
When thoughts are absent, what remains...
Life itself, unspoken, unspeakable, uncapturable, but completely HERE.
And much more real than any thought.

Jason Swanson said...

Yes, well put. Even thoughts are an expression of THIS, but they are waves in the ocean that you ARE.
