Tony Parsons was one of the first authors I read after my apparent Awakening. Before this I had no idea what happened to me, but when I read that Tony walked through the park and was no longer there, I thought “WoW, that’s me!” That’s what happened and of course now I had a label to stick onto it.
I then read as many books as I could on others who have had this same experience, some make it all sound so mystical and there are others who make it all sound so easy, I prefer the latter because in my case it was easy, but why shouldn’t it ? After all its who or what we are. It’s funny, here we are all these little creatures called humans on this piece of star dust asking these deep, deep questions, it makes me think of the little fleas on a dog asking the same questions. One comes up and says, can’t you see, it’s God not the dog, can you feel it, we are part of Him, we go where He goes.
The ideas that I have shared with you are only my ideas arising from Being, if they work or not for you it will only because of Being, not working or working, there is nothing you can do to be Enlightened because again there is no one to be Enlightened.
There has never been anyone Enlightened, so, what about the Buddha you ask? Well what about him? There was never a Buddha, there was Gautama who supposedly lived about 500BC but he wasn’t Enlightened, there was a recognition of Being but recognised by no one, Gautama wasn’t there to be Enlightened. The story of the Buddha being Enlightened is just that, a story, the mind body organism of Buddha, you and I are just a story, it’s just Being being a story. All there is is Consciousness playing games, we are within and part of that game, we are Consciousness playing hide and seek. Consciousness hides and we seek, we organise this seeking and call it religion, this is just another game of hide and seek. But all the time Consciousness is inviting us to be seen, its right in front of us, its right within us, in fact its who we are, Consciousness playing you and I.
I must remind you again, don’t take any of this literally, and again I must remind you, there is nothing you can do and there is nothing that needs to be done, everything is perfect just how it is, everything is Being and this story in front of you is Being also, just Being being Being.
Again, you are already there, stop pretending you’re not, because this is all you are doing, pretending. It’s time to stop playing this game, in fact it’s time to stop playing any game that is made by the ego mind. It’s great to play games but only when you know its a game, otherwise you are caught in a game that you have no idea that you are playing. This is what is happening all the time around the world, we are drawn into the political game and even at times are drawn into their games of war, with real bullets and bombs that kill, this is no fun game and yet we all get sucked into it.
It’s time for all to wake up and see what’s there in front of them. It’s time to take off the blinkers that have only shown partially what’s actually there in front of our nose. It’s time to grow up, not as a so called adult, gee, that has never worked, but to grow up spiritually. Grow up to our true Self, from there we will begin a whole new life that has very rarely been lived on the face of this planet.
