Uncertainty

Everything is uncertain…

We think we remember the past correctly. 

We often do not. 

A photograph or moving film may only show a few aspects of Truth.  

The present is uncertain. 

We can only discern part of what is truly happening in this moment. 

Is the future totally uncertain? 

Are there hints to what will happen.  

Is the future even more complicated.    

Do we create multiple Universes with each decision.  

Ramana Maharshi says, “That which is not present in deep, dreamless sleep is not real.” 

Nisargadatta Maharaj  says, “To be free in the world you must be free of the world. Oth­er­wise your past decides for you and your future. Between what had hap­pened and what must hap­pen you are caught. Call it des­tiny or karma, but never—freedom. First return to your true being and then act from the heart of love.” 
 
Yesterday we asked, “Is there Ego’s Breath?’

Today we answer, “There is only Uncertainty.”

Why would you care if there is any “Ego’s Breath.” 

Drop everything. 

All concerns. 

All thought about the Past…  the Future…  the Present…  

A thought arises… 

Let it drift away… 

Like clouds…  

Thoughts come… 

Thoughts go…  

Dropping, dropping, dropping…  

Richard Rose said: 
“…there is an eye that must be open.  We open it by closing all other eyes…”

Ego’s Breath

Up at 3:30…

Go pee… 

Sit on my cushion…  

Now right next to my bed.  

Glance at my phone for the time. 

Three deep breaths, then settling down… 

Watching my breath. 

Mind quiets… 

Mind comes back… 

Asking a question. 

Is the breath

                        different… 

Within a quiet mind state, 

Within an active mind state, 

Is there an Ego’s Breath… 

                      We are all already enlightened… 
 
That state of mind… 

No mind… 

Is always present… 

We just cover this up… 

Endless chatter… 

Thoughts about the Past, Present, Future… 

Quiet Mind

No Mind

Deep Dreamless Sleep

Awake

Awareness

Within

No

Awareness 

Is there an Ego’s Breath…  

            How would you know…
