The End of Seeking the Wholeness That Only Seemed Absent

What is shared in Naturally Being is not a teaching or a method, but a simple message — pointing to the wholeness that is already the case, and shining a light on the separateness that sometimes appears.

There may appear to be an inexplicable apparent absence of separation, of being someone or something who is observing something, though not as something that has been brought about, discovered, or arrived at. It does not seem to follow obviously from anything being done, nor does it arise as the result of any particular movement of attention or effort. It cannot be located, repeated, or held, and it does not seem to belong to anyone. It may simply seem that what had been taken to be separate is no longer found in the same way, without there being any clear account of why this is so. It may seem quite naturally at this moment, that the self is no longer relevent.

This apparent absence does not seem to replace a sense of separation with something else, nor does it introduce a new state or condition that can be stabilised or maintained. Thought may still appear, sensation may still arise, and the sense of individuality may still seem present, yet none of these appear to stand apart in the way they once seemed to. Distinctions may remain, differences may be vivid, and the particularity of what appears is not diminished, and yet no dividing line can be found that establishes separation in the way it had been assumed. What appears does not seem to be joined together, nor unified into something larger, but simply not divided in the first place. What appears is not set inside anything, nor witnessed from outside itself. What appears, perceived or otherwise, is enough, all there is, whole and complete as it is.

It may also be that this is not something that can be understood through explanation. Any attempt to account for it, to describe its cause, or to place it within a sequence of before and after, may seem to move away from what is being pointed to. It cannot be said to arise from insight, or to follow from correct understanding, even though such things may appear alongside it. Nor can it be said to be the result of practice, even where practice has been present. In this sense, it remains inexplicable.
