I-ness Belongs to the Universe

There’s only one thing you want to look at:

Is this “I-ness” what you think it is?

If you read a lot of non-duality books, think about it: no one is ever telling you to do anything but this. Follow the advice to the letter. Just look into the I-ness and see what it is.

This is THE ONLY thing you need to do, because it is THE ONLY thing that will bring clarity.

Don’t look for fireworks or bliss. Don’t expect a dramatic shift. Don’t try to abolish your preferences. Don’t try to be in the awareness. Don’t try to sit with whatever arises. Unless you’re just bored and looking for something to do to pass the time, those things are useless.

Just this: Don’t take your gaze off “I” until you know what it is.

This is what you may notice, if you look:

This I-ness belongs to the universe, not to you.

All is resolved in this! If the I-ness you experience belongs to the universe and not to you, what is there to do or worry about? When you know that it belongs to the universe, you can totally stop thinking about "I."

Look at this “I.” That’s all.

I hear this a lot: “I can see that there is no person, but…”. I would say to that, If you can see that there is no person, to what do you now think the “I” refers?

Don’t expect the mind to carry this ball all the way to the end zone. The mind can help you see what "I" is NOT, but it is useless in seeing what "I" is.

Find what “I” is pointing to. It resolves everything. I can’t tell you how to do it. You just have to look.
