Peter asks: Tom! You talk as if you're not even there...or even here.....where are you? ;-)
Tom T: How should I know? Have no answer to that question that would make any sense. Thanks for asking though. Tom from Adyashanti Emptiness Dancing A Story is Just a Story What you are without your role is often assumed to be hidden somewhere. And so when you let go of your role, when you look past the character called "me" for the truth of your being, you may think that there's a someone to find who is somehow hidden. If this happens, when you come into this state of openness, you may think, "There's nobody here, but I'll look for it anyway, look for the Self, the Truth, the enlightened me." Looking for the enlightened self is just another role, another script. It's part of the spiritual seeker's script. If you drop that script -- now what are you? Of course, the reason I ask you to inquire into what you are is because, at this moment, you are living the answer. Nothing that I would tell you is a substitute for that aliveness, for that living of the answer. That's why it has been said many times that only the people who don't know who they are, are the ones who are awake. Everyone else knows who he or she is. They are their script, whatever their script is, even if that script is, "I'm not awake." Awakeness is to have no script, to know that ultimately a script is just a script, and a story is just a story.
