Things just happen. They always have just happened. For some strange reason a sense of "I" do those things that just happen sprang-up for some time. Then that sense of "I" goes away and only just happen returns. "You" no longer exist. Nothing is there! It's really quite amazing. Call it infinity but it is infinity outside of time and space. It is neither an object or a subject. It makes your hair stand on end! So much of this talk about "it" is silly. It just is, without being an object or subject. No understanding of the mind can remotely touch it. Until that identification stops, you don't have a clue (although your mind thinks it does). Then That withdraws identifying with anything, falls back into itself and the mind screams! What is left is just That! -Peter (Afro boy) p.s. Try not using your mantra for several days. Many peoples minds have incorporated the mantra into their chit and it just creates more noise. Notice how you don't transcend anymore like you used to? Self-Inquire. Sit quietly and place your attention on your sense of "I". Hold it gently in place. When the mind wonders bring it back. When any thought comes, ask "To whom does this come?" to bring the attention back on this "I"-thought. This is an experiential process, not intellectual. Feel this sense of "I" and gently hold the attention on it regardless of anything.
