THE DREAM OF ME IS NOT REALITY
The dreaming we are in when we sleep is interesting in that the character we dream is often not the same character as in our waking states. We matter of factly lose our personal histories like a change of clothes. The pounding in of who we are in most wakeful moments, relents. All ‘that’ mind reinforcement abates and a new character is formed.
This has a scientific parallel to the Default Mode Network (DMN). This is where our narrative runs, telling us who we were and/or are. On LSD, the DMN flatlines allowing more experiential data in. Sleep ends up doing about the same thing but not as dramatically. Our story drops and a new script is in play.
The point being that the ideas of whom we are, are fluid. They are fluid because there is no permanence to them. If reincarnation is real, then that too would be a demonstration of this letting go of the character in the story.
Is there something here that needs to be gleamed? Perhaps the story of ‘me’ is not meant to be permanent and/or taken so seriously. How often do we sleep and lose the ‘idea’ of this ‘me’?
What this points to is the permanence of “What Is”. No story lasts. What is obvious is the “What Is”. But it is not obvious always, because the ‘story’ gets in the way, parading its importance.
Whatever character we play, we play often with too much identity. We do this despite the overwhelming evidence that any character we play, ends in the movie of fictional reality. The screen persists but we handily forget about it as the basis of everything experiencing everything as nothing.
Looking at what ‘me’ the character does to survive, we can see the use of time in the movie, to give credence to what is unreal to be real. Time distorts timelessness of the screen to create the effect of past and future to enliven unreality. Somebody is created with a body and a past history with an idea of a future that the character can engage in. Without ‘that’, the character is stripped of major illusions and left with the nakedness of the Now.
The Now has no pretense. The Now is full (of everything), so illusions associated with past/future cannot land in it for any duration without consequence. When we do ‘land’ stuff in the Now with the cooperation of the false self, we seemingly stop the flow of the Now. Certainly the Now never stops now-ing. But illusion/separation is allowed to occur in the Now i.e. obfuscation.
‘Landing’ things like sensations, stories, ideas, etcetera, when they don’t need to be landed ever, is problematic. ‘Landing’ is the attachment and asserting of how things ‘should’ be at the expense of letting the Universe play it out. It is the assertion of ideas of self with past and future having a significant prevalence over what is truly happening in this moment.
Timelessness is never stopping for past/future. It just Is. Timelessness is timeless while at the same time being Being or a movement without the aspect of time. Beingness is always what is happening. There is no stopping happening except when we try to land it. Landing it is still an illusion as there is no stopping timelessness.
The conclusion we can possibly make is, there is nobody here to accumulate anything in the past nor is there anyone here to accumulate anything now or in the future. But when it seemingly happens, we believe it to be real. We give the illusion legs and run with it, rather than Seeing with our Self which has nothing and is nothingness. Contrarily the false self has a lot of stuff it has landed, creating a conditioned past that ultimately must be dropped from identity. Nothingness has no identity.
Lucid waking is Seeing the unseen that is everywhere but nowhere in particular. It is a dropping and backing away from over- engaging the phenomena that normally dominates our field of vision. The phenomena still appears, but the unseen is now seen by Seeing the Seeing rather than the seen.
The conventional loading up on stuff flying through the “What Is” is now moderated by the Nowness and the freedom that letting go of all that stuff naturally promotes. The ‘doing’ and the ‘doer’ and all that neediness is no longer primary.
Reality Is unbounded by time, place, or personhood. Reality Is Us. Reality Is present always in waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. Hanging on to and landing any stuff, in any ‘state’, limits the lucidity of Being.
Be through Being the Being that is unadorned by any limitations, ideations, and/or hoarding of things. Letting go is falling into our seminal existence that never needed anything that we may now think we need.
The only Real is the Real. There is no ‘me’ except the temporary character. The Real is unconditional Love and unconditional happiness that is always available when we are spaciousness itself.
Love Loves the Nothingness of Self. Daddy’O 
To suggest that we have some place to get to, is to push away from what is already present. To become something, is to misperceive that we are not ‘the becoming’. To get something in the future, is to ignore the fact that ‘that’ is present now.
Moreover, we are the Present. To deny our presence is to take more steps in the wrong direction, looking for Ourselves while being exactly what we are looking for. Except we are looking for the Self with the ‘me’, and expecting the ‘me’ to find ‘it’. The ‘me’ does not exist. Welcome to the hamster cage of life.
Time, in this case, is the distorting vehicle. With only Present extant, the seemingly large fields of historical past and presumptive future are eliminated, which eliminates the idea of being solely a person. The idea of a limited person is a feeding on the story of what happened and what will happen to an idea (you). The before, after, and will be, are eliminated by the Now. The feeding is stopped and the delusion is no longer supported.
With no history to limit us, with no future to suggest something different from what we are experiencing , we find ourselves in the Now, just as we Are. It Is just ‘this’. And ‘this’ is not in time. It Is in timelessness.
So when something is perceived to have arrived (called enlightenment) then it will depart, as ‘that’ is in time. When the realization that what is ‘Now’ known, has never left, then the permanence of Being is realized.
Identity has then shifted into permanence rather than the day-to-day struggle of finding oneself in the future based on past efforts, while completely ignoring quantifiable experiential 
The effortlessness of Being is Present Now. To suggest that it isn’t, is to be occluded by phenomena obscuring the view of no view. No view is nothing getting in the way because ‘nothingness’ has no occlusion. Everything is then seen. Being ‘nothing’ is clear Seeing with no walls or boundaries. 
Every Moment is the most honorable time to honor Self. To suggest otherwise is to misunderstand Self. The unconditional Self is free, allowing everything, accepting everyone, being all life, all the time. 
There is nothing but Love. Feel It. Be It. It Is Love everywhere always Now. Daddy’O
THE PERMANENCE OF NOW
The Now-ness of being Being cannot be located in the presumed past/future picture book. To chase the ’story’ is to chase our tail endlessly. There is nothing to find but the story of a fantasy of ‘me’.
’That’ story is only a binding of the mind into a conceptual prison if/when we limit the unlimited. The story is superficial to “What Is”. The “What Is” is what is essential to everything. The Nowness and Nothingness are the structures of stability that allow the seemingly compelling dramas to occur. It is ‘there’ where substance abides and phenomena is allowed to arise and fall.
The goldmine is found by staying in the backdrop of spaceless space within. ‘Within’ meaning ‘staying in’ what is prior to and after the phenomena has arisen and fallen, without interruption. Our True Nature is there and everywhere in this eternal Now. This placeless place of timelessness Is Now.
What is ‘Real’ is Now. It Is the permanent background that is commonly overlooked for the gloss of transient glitter aka the ‘unreal’. The fragility of the life lived in an unstable reality of past/future is exposed by the unconditional-ness of Now.
Seeing and breathing every moment of the Now liberates Us from a prison-like environment into a permanent freedom. Nothingness never looked so good. See It from the ‘no view’ of causeless-ness. The permanence of happiness and love abide with no events needed.
“Suffering points to the sufferer, which then points to the illusion, which then points back to nothing. What is left is Nothingness. Nothingness cannot be touched by suffering.”
“The undefended heart has no cause to fight for. It’s marker is effortless acceptance of all.”
“Remembering there is no one to awaken.”
“The movie we are in is a real movie. The characters we play are only characters in the movie i.e. fictional. The story is NOT reality. It is a compelling story for the characters. The screen is NEVER touched by the histrionics of the movie. In the “Matrix”, Morpheus suffers greatly. Laurence Fishburne is untouched. To suggest that L.F. could be helped by Morpheus in his path, would be delusional. Enjoy the movie but see the Reality of the unchanging screen.”
Love Is. Unconditionality immediately shows up, as there is no preference for anything. All ‘things’ are in Love and ultimately are Love. The ‘Everything’ Is Love.
Who we Are is not the idolatry of self, globbing attachments, reinforcements, and protections to preserve the glaring illusion of ‘me’. For the ’me’ to practice Love is to underscore the illusion that becomes the ‘me’. The presence of the ‘me’ obscures Love due to the implicit separateness that ‘me’ is.
Nothingness is drawing no lines. To draw one line is too much, as one line results in this and that (duality). Oneness has no duality.
When we say that we are ‘this’ or ‘that’, what we do is add to the ‘I Am’.
When we add to ‘I Am’ we add an idea or concept that separates into dockets of stuff that have no real substance. This is a conceptual outcome that is miles from the pith. It is the pith that gives everything substance. Without the ‘I Am’ there is nothing. With the ‘I Am’ there can be nothingness/everything.
We are not concepts. We are before concepts. That is the ‘I Am’ with no need to be anything but Beingness.
There are no ideas in Being. Existence is life. Life is living us. The ‘I Am’ is life unrestrained and free. To force ‘life’ into a noun is to inhibit Ourselves as life itself.
Awareness unequivocally has no pushing, no starting, no future, and cannot be found. ‘It’ Is formless-ness
Unwrapping Presence we find ’Nothing-ness’. This Is the best gift ever. Why? Because It Is everything. Is there more than everything?
Finding nothing is the ‘finding’ we were looking for. Who we Are Is the vastness of everything that is the fullness of Formless-ness. This permanence Is the Everything that allows every thing to arise/fall.
BEING AWARENESS SEEING AWARENESS
Presence never leaves. It Is in the not ‘never’ always ‘ever’ availability. This of course is in stark contrast to the rising and falling of the dreamscape called our so-called life.
Presence of Self is the focusing of Awareness on Awareness, not phenomena. There of course is no ‘doing’ there, as there is no ‘doer’ nor anything that needs to get done.
Since there is no self,
Without the ‘Knowing’ of the reference point of Presence, the consequent behaviors will have a continued separation from effortless Awareness. This ‘Knowing’ is experiential and felt through the portal of
The ‘I Am’
Walking through the ‘I Am’ door leaves the dreamer and the dreamt and reveals the dreaming that is just Being. Being or Presence is formless and un-manifest. This is the space behind the space (metaphorically).
Being Awareness to the point of Seeing Awareness is to still see phenomena but primarily Seeing the Seeing. The Knowing reveals the Seeing the Seeing as Consciousness playing with form and formlessness. At this point there is no difference between content and context as ‘It’ all Is Consciousness. The ‘separation’ no longer exists nor really ever existed.
The view is no view as there is no longer two (advaita).
It is just an expression of Awareness/consciousness.
Perceiving the perceived is Perceiving the form while Being the Perceiving and never not the formless nor the illusory form. It Is all Perceiving or Awareness.
Everything Is Love Loving Love. Daddy’O
To make a wrong decision to stop at the ‘me’ for peace and happiness, is to miss our destiny of no stopping anywhere for anything at anytime. The destination is no destination, meaning we are just Being.
The forgetting of being Everything is the locking down of the perennial movement of the aliveness into a stop called ‘me’. The ‘me’ emphasis and/or exclusivity, commands a parochial and narrow focus of Self to the degree that we stay comfortably yet uncomfortably in the ‘me’.
The ‘me’ is an occupier of space, restricting, constricting, and jailing our Selves in smallness. And the ‘me’ can’t see that. But the ‘me’ is not in charge. But if you ask the ‘me’, which we do all the time, the answer is in the affirmative. It is always about the ‘me’ whether we know it or not, whether we articulate it or not.
The Priorness is not to be achieved or pushed for, as it has a permanent establishment that has never started and will never end. Everything is the Priorness except ‘It’ has no stops and is verbing constantly with silence and stillness. At one level, what ‘stops’ is the ‘me’ and not the ‘Priorness’. But the Priorness is ‘Everything’ and ultimately everything.
Peace and happiness are the Priorness, the Everything in everything. This peace/happiness Is. No events can displace It and/or start It. It just Is. The ‘me’ is a point in infinity among other points in infinity, with infinity moving past all points as there is no stopping in timelessness, ever.
