Pure Seamless Intimate Experiencing ..............................Rupert Spira
~ ~ ~
It is thoughts alone that divide the seamless intimacy of experiencing
into two apparent things; an inside self and an outside world.
Experience itself knows and says no such thing.
Experience itself knows only this pure seamless intimacy.

And all apparent objects, selves, others or world are simply modulations
of this pure, seamless, intimate experiencing.

Try to find something in your experience
that is made out of something other than experiencing:
seeing, hearing, tasting, smelling, sensation.

Try to find something that takes place at a distance,
made out of something other than experiencing.

[...]

Reach out in your actual experience and see, in your experience,
do you find a self, an object, an entity, a world?
Or do you just find yourself: pure intimate experiencing?
No distance, no separation, no inside self, no outside other, no object, no world.

Scan your body.
Do you find a body there?
Do you find something solid and dense?
Or do you just find pure, intimate experiencing?

Do you find a world at a distance from this body?
Or do you just find pure, intimate experiencing?

And who is it that knows experiencing?
Is experiencing known by a separate self?
Is there a separate self or object in experiencing?
Or does experiencing just find itself, alone?

No body, no thought, no mind, no world;
Just pure intimacy ever-present
always knowing itself, being itself and loving itself
eternally Now.
