Echoing through the room, like a ripple in the water, an ego lingers in the sensitive body. Hiding. Holding on. As a person tosses and turns between the need to belong and seizing their chance to move on, a moment of awakening unfolds in the silence.
Een echo weergalmt door de ruimte, zoals een rimpel in het water, achtervolgt door het ego dwalend door een gevoelig lichaam. Vasthoudend. Verborgen. Een persoon woelt tussen de nood om ergens bij te horen en het grijpen van de kans om het achter zich te laten. De stilte onthult een moment van bewustwording.
Space has no ‘existence’.
You cannot understand space
because it doesn’t stand out.
Silence has no existence either,
nor does the Unmanifested.
attention from the objects in space
and become aware of space itself ?
but they are not the room.
but they are not the room either.
of course,
empty space.
There would be no ‘room’ without it.
we can say that what is not there
is more important than what is there.
Don’t think about it.
Feel it,
as it were.
Pay attention to ‘nothing.’
a shift in consciousness takes place
inside of you.”
