Where is the Suffering Person?

Right now in awareness, there is not a separate person present. He only appears in the mind as a series of thoughts. So, who is suffering, exactly? Who is depressed? There is only clear undisturbed consciousness. There is no such thing as any person. So who is it that can be worried about anything?

Keep looking at who you think you are. Who is "me"? What is he made of? Where did he start? Is he cells? Is he brain matter? Is he the 70% water in the body? Is he a habituated neural pathway in the electrochemical brain activity? Is that who you think you are?  See if you can find a “self” that is not totally virtual.

You don't have to still the mind or get out of the mind. You are only imagining the mind, so you don’t have to get out of it. You don’t have to still it. You don’t have to stop the thoughts that spin endlessly, but instead you merely see the mind as imaginary, and unable to hurt you with its busy motions. Like a busy anthill covered with busy ants, the busy mind is a mere curiosity. The thoughts are free to happen, and they will.

You are not a real entity. You are virtual, and your problems exist in a virtual world. There is only one reality, one universal life, one universal mind. The idea of a "person" is only a thought, and that thought cannot carve a separate person out of one solid reality. The thought "I am this person" has no power to actually make a person. What appears to be a separate body and a separate mind are simply the one universal life. Universal mind sees only itself there.

Look into this “I” who believes himself to be real. The problems are all in that belief, nowhere else. There is no person, and no problem. No “I.” No one to identify with “I.” No one to be concerned about how hard it is to not identify with “I.” All are thoughts, and thoughts do not create reality. You are not a person. You are consciousness alone.
