SPIRIT LIVES IN THE GAP BETWEEN THOUGHTS


Experience the Gap

There can be a gap of quietness between thoughts,
and if you are very present in that gap,
you stop acting out your familiar identity.

As soon as identity jumps into the gap,
you don't feel present anymore.

Being nobody is usually so baffling to the mind
that it starts filling that gap very quickly.
"How can I be nobody?"
But to fill it up with a somebody is meaningless.

If you really want to know what you are, just experience the gap,
experience the openness, and let it bloom inside.
There is no better way to find out what you are.
