Break the identification with thought and there is simply what is, and that includes thought too.
To say that one is ‘spiritual’ is just more identification with something, sometimes any ‘thing’ that will do.
Spirituality points away from itself to that which defies identification, that only we can recognise for ourselves free from all descriptions, ideas and even traditions.
What is sought is not beyond.
It is that which is already fully present before anything.
Before joy, before sadness, before pain, before bliss, before beauty and before horror.
Before Buddhism, before Zen, before Adviata, before Dzogchen, before non-duality.
That which allows for the coming and going of everything and nothing before, before before…
There is nothing to be gained… that is all. There is nothing to be gained.
There is no more or less life to be had anywhere other than right here, right now.
Wherever and however we are is where must always begin again.
Not knowing is true wisdom.
Meditation techniques are easy to practise because they have a form. Awareness is harder because it has no form.

Knowledge and ignorance are both untrue, nothing but dream and illusion — the nonduality of true and untrue.
