We are no one

From The Deep Heart

“Jean Klein said that when the mediator disappears, there is meditation.

I love this statement because it invites us to see that there is no one doing anything, not even meditating.

The illusion of an apparently separate observer falls away, as do apparently separate objects of experience.

No one is observing, and nothing is being observed.

We see that thinking is happening and that no one is thinking; hearing and touching occur without a discrete hearer or toucher.

Strange as it may sound, it is quite liberating to realize that we are no one, and it is a huge relief to drop the fiction of being a separate self.

    At the moment, I’m having a hard time with this concept. I can get behind the concept of mutable time and the import, or lack thereof, we place upon it. However, it’s far more challenging to understand “that there is no one doing anything.”

    As an addendum, I think I could get behind the concept of “I am not my activated parts” more easily.

  3. I take it like this

    Non duality there is no ego it is created

    So staying present, focused limits the ego

    Our ego has ptsd

    He/she is the emotional, drama person, the judges of everything

    That explanation is more workable to my mind. TY
