Essential Point:
You are Nothing, which is Something.
Overview:
Just as you have to try to become a “Somebody” before you Realize you’re a “Nobody,” you have to try to become “Something” before you Realize that you’re “Nothing.” The former state of trying marks the sleeping Consciousness while the latter state of Realization marks the Awakening Consciousness.
Most people spend their lives asleep, which is to say Believing they are “this thing” and “that thing” and then also this thing and then also that thing and then not this thing and then not that thing – they hop from thing to thing and never stop “thing-hopping,” but one thing is for sure – they are always “Something.”
Whether it be a student, an athlete, a corporate professional, a mother, a son, a grandfather, an activist, an entrepreneur, a millionaire, or whatever it is, they derive their Identity through the variously labeled “things” in their Life – the people, places, roles, titles, possessions, and circumstances that make up their Form Identity. The Ego needs some “thing” in order to define its Existence, and so it will always find some-thing to construct a sense of self through and to Attach to. And through this Egoic mechanism, you separate yourself – for this is you, and that is not you.
As you Awaken and shift in Consciousness, you Realize the utter absurdity of identifying with things because things are Form and Form is always Changing – it is Impermanent. You Realize as the various things, or pieces of Form, come and go that you cannot be the Form because as the Form disappears you are still here. So, instead of the Form you Realize you must truly be the Formlessness that underlies it, which enables the Form to be. In this sense, instead of the thing, you must be the No-thing that underlies it, enabling the thing to be.
To specify this concept, instead of identifying with the “I Am a Student” Thought Form, through Awakening you now instead identify with the “I Am,” as you Realize the “I Am” is what enables “a student” to be. You Realize that Being is what enables the student to be – Being a Student. One day you are this thing and the next day you are that thing, and then you are this thing, and ultimately after a multitude of variations of Being this and that you Realize that you are not this or that, You Are the Being that enables this or that. You are the “you are.”
And this thing that “you are,” this “I Am-ness” is no “thing” at all. It is No-thing. And so you Realize, at the deepest level, that You Are No-thing. You are Nothing. Not only does Quantum science validate this by revealing that “you” disappear into No-thing-ness under the subatomic microscope, but it is an intuitive Truth you can sense and Realize with growing certainty along the Awakening Journey as you Transcend your Humaneness through Realization of your Beingness. As you come into Self from self.
You are Nothing. You are Space. You are Empty. You are Nothingness. You are Spaciousness. You are Emptiness. This is who you are in your Essence. In your Essence, You Are the Essence. This is not to say that you aren’t temporarily those “things,” like the student, or the athlete, because on one level you are, but it is only on the level of Form, which exists on the surface level of Reality, in the Sense-Perceived World. To Believe you are your Form Identity and to only know yourself through this Form Identity is the essence of the Egoic Identity, which is the Illusion of self as made in the Conditioned Mind.
This is the Awakening Realization – you are not fundamentally your Form Identity, you are not the temporary “thing,” you are fundamentally the Formless Identity, the permanent No-thing-ness, the “I Am,” that enables all things to be. You are most essentially the background, not the foreground.
And this “I Am” that you are is not a noun, it is a verb, for You Are Being, which is moving and never at rest. This is the Essence of what it means to be Alive. You are alive. And not only are you Alive, but You Are Life. Being is Life.
