Forgetting and Remembering
Forgetting is knowing who you are.
It's when apparent individual awareness
becomes aware of itself.
The illusory self falls under the illusion that it exists.
Belief in self happens.
Remembering is forgetting who you are.
It's when apparent individual awareness
becomes aware of its own nonexistence.
The illusory self recognizes its own illusory nature.
Belief in self stops happening.
Forgetting is not a problem.
Remembering isn't better than forgetting.
Neither of them have anything to do with us.
They're just what seem to happen sometimes.
Remembering happens when it does.
There's nothing we can do to bring it on.
And yet sometimes life moves us to do things
while we seem to be journeying toward remembering.
From our limited perspective,
it sometimes seems that these things we do
are what causes the remembering.
The illusion is under the illusion that
what it's doing will dispel the illusion of itself.
Remembering isn't something to accomplish or attain.
Oneness is the ground of our being.
It's impossible to get away from.
Everything arises as part of the one.
Sometimes forgetting arises.
Sometimes remembering arises.
The one is always one.
It seems miraculous that forgetting could ever happen.
How much less miraculous the remembering?
Now you see you,
now you don't.
