Who am I ? 

I - who am I? I am no one I can be anyone _____________________________________________________ I am Kuntuzangpo, who cannot be seen by looking I am the melody that cannot be heard by listening I am the truth that cannot be learned by grasping I am the energy that cannot be stopped by blocking Do you know me? I am no one ---- I am the space between thoughts I am the joy between painful moments I am the confidence between fears I am the peace between wars Do you know me? I can be anyone ---- I am the light that sees the darkness I am the ear of compassion that hears suffering I am the warmth of the heart that generates joy I am the power of mind that benefits others Do you know me? I am no one ----- I am the source of everything I am the expanse of the boundless sky I am the radiant light that is everywhere I am the wind that grants life force I am the fire that enlivens the body Do you know me? I can be anyone _____________ I am the refuge that abides within you I am the value that spontaneously manifests I am the energy that arises naturally and ceaselessly I am the activity that compassionately benefits others Do you know me? I am no one _____________ I am the mother who loves I am the friend who can be trusted I am the power that protects from enemies Do you know me? I can be anyone ______________ I am home for you who are homeless I am a friend for you who are lonely I am power for you who are weak I am wealth for you who are poor I am the mirror where you see yourself. Do you know me? ______________ I - who am I? I am no one I can be anyone ______________ Ababa (Tenzin Wangyal) Sept 24, 2019 (translated by Tenzin Wangyal and Steven Goodman, 29 September, 2019, Cafe Leila, Berkeley, California)

Here is my Rigpa experience! It’s in order of my early meditation illuminations with Rigpa at the end. I love all of you. This is transient and therefore not real. However during periods of stillness and absolute silence when shifting to the witness a high pitched ringing occurs. This happens ONLY if I “tune into” the witness so to speak. Also as a side note, I’ve briefly experienced thoughts trying to appear but as they emerge from nothing it’s almost as if the pitch sharply changes and I am unable to witness it. Just thought I’d share. I realize it could be identification with mind. Or a concept. I’m not sure what to make of it. -This was sort of the beginning of strange mystical happenings when I understood real quietness. Next: This body and the mind it produces is the movie and the screen upon which it manifests. Hidden behind this structure there lies a deep silence, where ‘you’ disappear. Even that is illusory. The deepest memory available can supply one with the brilliant illumination: Everything you think you are is merely a conglomeration of concepts. There is this ‘state’ in which these chemicals come together and at once the ‘camera’ powers up. I found that memory. A moment of pure untainted ‘beingness’. No thought. No stream of consciousness No names No past No future No attachment No detachment Nothing but THAT!! Just an awareness that is alive and doesn’t even know it!!! The concept free mind isn’t a stupid mind!!!! It is beyond mind!! Mind is a tool to be used but the beingness and awareness should never attach its identity to mind! Imagine your mind like a dirty clogged filter. When you pull out the filter while the ac is running you notice the change in pressure. All this fresh air whooshes into the fan. It can breathe again! The entirety of all, lies in the spaces between letters. Final journal entry for that appearance: I can truthfully and honestly tell you that once I merged with with a memory. I was me at 43 and I had this memory come up that had always been with me. The recall of this memory happened only when a certain song played. I would remember the memory but just discard it. This memory appeared out of nowhere and upon examination I found my self IN the memory. The feeling of “aliveness” the state of no-mind, no subject, no object. The perceived and the perceiver are the same. It was incredible. Here’s what I can tell you: I heard music but it wasn’t separate from the background. I had depth of field although there was no one to know that. There was no differentiation between anything. I cannot say there was any difference between “object” and “subject” because there was no recognition of there even being a body with which to “compare”. There was color and it appeared 3D without the ability to even know any difference. There was a sound which sounded distant (like someone doing the dishes) and the sound was heard as “further away” so that there was built in recognition of this sound being further away. It was night. I The windows in the living room were open. Several table lamps. The atmosphere was warm (the lighting or hue of the bulbs) no recognition of comfort or no comfort. Now I’ve saved the best for last: While merged with this memory I felt what it was like in that “body”looking through those eyes!!! It was an energy that surged like a nuclear fire! It burned with beingness and that beingness was pure love. Incredible! When ‘I’ became both the memory of “that”. I was also this ‘mind’! I can confirm true nature is that! And yet, the recognition of the “blank nothing” is also there. The instantaneous nothing/something was not reacted upon. Because the apparent manifestation was unable to be realized as something different than non manifestation. It just wasn’t there. Then it appeared. Then it disappeared. Only in this current ‘state’ can the mind give words or concepts to a ‘happening’. That is to say, this merging j of what is seemingly two separate entities had to be felt as dualism in order for there to be recognition of “THAT”. Or any ability to even know there was that! So being completely ‘that’; it is not possible to know existence!! How WILD!! Dzogchen
