What-one-IS

Me - Is this your msg as sent?..
Only One Way,
neither this way or that way.
Only Presence,
not absence or absence of absence.
Only Void,
not empty or absence of presence.
Peace and No-thing else.
Only Buddha Nature,
and no Buddhas.
Only Here and Now,
no there and then.
Only happening,
not Doing.
Only One Mind,
neither "me" nor "you".
Only Noumenon,
neither Phenomenon nor,
non phenomenon....

This last bit doesn't gel. Should be..
Only Me-non,
neither Menon,
nor,
Phenomenon.
Still Bhichkyon....
Arun - Its topsy turvy but the content is OK.

Arun - It is only in the total absence of oneself that there can be total presence of what-one-IS.

Me - One part of one's self is the presence arising from the needs of living. From one's activity cycle, relationships responsibilities, emotional concerns. From conformance to prescribed choices that are the benchmarks of identity that society ascribes to you. With recognisable behavior patterns and lifestyle that sustain that sense of self, your visible presence.Forgo all of that and one achieves an absence of all the derived identities of ones self.
Over the last three years I have managed to do that and it has given me a certain peace. My peace comes from understanding and accepting what I am and why I am that way. from finding myself free of needs and desires beyond survival basics. Just existing.
The other part of ones self, that believers think exists, is an intangible Presence, the experience of which is achievable but not easily accessible to lay person realisation.
The difference in the realisation of what-one-IS in the two scenarios is the perceived reality. In mine, its just this is , just that - me. In yours, its your self as another entity.
At the end of the day its all about peace on earth. And of course, ones perceptions of what ones peace is.
Believe that its just this is a template that guides whateva you believe!
