The Fact of Being Cannot Disappear

Each of us is currently having the experience of being. We know that we are. We know the experience ‘I am’ before we know any other experience. All content – thoughts, images, feelings, sensations, perceptions, and so on – are added to the experience of simply being. It’s not possible for the fact of being to disappear. But, compared to content, experience of being is so transparent and silent, it recedes into the background. So-called meditation or prayer is just to return to the simple fact of being. It’s what some traditions refer to as remembering our self, that which is ever-present within but lies behind or beneath experience content and is therefore overlooked. Self-remembrance is just bringing being out of hiding, just recognising what we always, already are. The more deeply we rest in being as being, the more we taste its inherent peace, its sense of fullness or sufficiency, its imperturbability.
