The Human Form

The human form is fascinating, as are all living forms. It is within this house we sit, but there are no walls, no floor, no ceiling, and no chair to sit upon. But that is good, for we are not there either.

This body will continue to go on, until it ceases to continue.

(laughs) “Within this house we sit”…
As there is no sitting and no walls… is it not more like looking in the window? But yes, a very curious thing. And such a complex construct for a simple thing. But I guess that’s the nature of possibility.

That is interesting. What would you say this window looks into?

“this house”, the experience of the human form.
The experience of the human is like a focal point for infinity, for boundless awareness. The awareness is not constrained by the house, so it, as if, looks in the window of perception of the form. Form perceiving form. But without which, awareness perceives nothing.

More interestingly, it does this simultaneously in all beings.

When we step back into Self or transcendence, it is silence, peace, we stop looking in the window for a moment. When our attention steps back enough and we become That, we are no longer the focal point but rather that which observes the point. We can shift our attention from one window to another. ;-)
