"Subject-object thinking seems to cover the natural state (awareness). But without awareness, thinking could not take place. Because thinking appears in awareness (like a cloud appears in the sky), realise that thinking in essence is awareness. Understanding this, thinking cannot obscure awareness".

"Whatever is translated or conceptualised as other than presence awareness need not be resisted but recognised as it is--pure presence awareness appearing as other--always only and ever That. Knowing that, conceptualising falls away and bare awareness remains unconcerned with thought (effortless being). Just this".

"Whenever there’s identification, there’s seeming separation and an attendant sense of lack in some degree or other; a sense of something missing. What’s referred to as liberation, on the other hand, is the clear seeing that there’s no one - no separate entity - and therefore no such sense of lack.
But there’s no one to whom either identification or liberation is happening, and no one who can bring either of them about. Identification and liberation are both impersonal. Both are possibilities in the play of life, and while the difference between them will appear significant, that significance is relevant only in the play.
Being is the bottom line in all of this. It is the ground that allows the expression of all possibilities and that has no dependence on any happening in the play. It is this present expression just as it appears - whether that expression should be identification or liberation. This is all there is."
