Some years back I was graced with the stark seeing that there is nobody out there. This appeared in the midst of a deep shamanic journey. I was imagining reporting something to a friend and then, suddenly, with an "Oh my God", she disappeared and it was seen clearly that she didn't exist. The mind's perception of her just did not exist.
It was hard to look at, the mind wanted to curl back into itself and not look at the truth. That it is speaking to itself and only itself all the time. That every thought, judgement, feeling we have that seems to be about another originates in us and is only about US.
Although engraved somewhat in my system, this seeing faded and it is only now, after years of meeting projections onto others that this truth is being rekindled.
If it serves you remind yourself regularly that there is nobody out there. Notice how there is a pulling back in from the external, a natural self-containment that happens, an opening back into the formlessness of your true nature.
Opening back into Absolute Reality, this formless, perceptionless Seat of peace, stillness, radiance.
Savage wisdom indeed, dearest Pema Mags.
No one out-there. No one in-here either! No inside, no outside, only THIS perfect Presence.
Ahhhhh.
