The Unfolding

     What is real - what is reality? What is unfolding is definitely real, isn't it? Can you show me a greater reality than what is unfolding? If you can then you should do so, you would be doing both of us a favour . . .

The Unfolding

There is no greater reality than what I can only acknowledge as the unfolding. 'The unfolding of what', asks the mind? Is it the unfolding of what is, or - this? Yes, but more than that (actually it's less) - it is the unfolding of nothing as everything. It is the unfolding of what you really are - nothingness. Your reality is as nothing - becoming something. 

Nothingness appears as everything that is unfolding . . . or one could say . . . everything is unfolding out of nothing - and it appears as, and through, you. Without you nothing exists. Hold on a mo, does that sound confusing (wink, wink)? Maybe it does, but once more consider this - when you disappear into deep dreamless sleep every night, what happens out here is none of your business, is it? Not till you wake up that is, and make it your business once more? And if you didn't wake up then for you this existence wouldn't exist - would it? That is because it unfolds only through you, you are unfolding out of nothingness - as something.

Without you there is no life. You are the unfolding of life. You are the unfolding of consciousness, or awareness, or the moment, the Now, or what is, or this - or whatever other label you care to give it . . . You Are the unfolding.


The Unfolding has no other reality, it is simply what is unfolding as what is, or one might say as this . . . it's totally indescribable, that is its reality - it is simply what is unfolding right now. It isn't the now though, that would be your minds attempt at understanding and describing the unfolding. It isn't The Present Moment either, that is also the mind attempting to understand and describe that which simply is before the mind jumps in with interpretation. Even my label - the unfolding is such; but it is the nearest you will ever get to your reality in words I can assure you.

Your presence is really, and simply, the unfolding appearing in existence as something, which it has to do, doesn't it? Well obviously! Nothingness is unfolding, and it unfolds to appear as this, which is what is; that is what is unfolding as your Presence.

Do you see (perceive) this? Does it resonate within you as perhaps an excitement or agitation - or an aha of recognition? Remember our experiment in self-observation, did you, have you, participated in it as yet? Well it matters not, either there was an unfolding of the experiment within and through you or there was an unfolding of something else ha, ha - but do you see any connection here between our experiment in self-observation and the unfolding? That's all I'll ask on that subject for now, it isn't a task you have to participate in at all, just an opportunity to open up the mind for those whom may require a little helping hand.

There is only the unfolding, there is nothing else. Trying to label it further is pointless, a fruitless endeavour of the mind to understand rather than simply be - the unfolding. You see, the unfolding is what you are, that's what you be . . . the unfolding is your very be-ing. Being is unfolding here.

Therefore, you can't even attempt to be The Unfolding, how could you attempt to be what you already are? What are you the unfolding of??? You are what is unfolding! If you're not careful your mind will now jump in and make you feel responsible for all and sundry, but you are not responsible, how could you be when actually there is only the unfolding? What is unfolding does so, it is what is. It can not be judged - well it can, but only by a mind that thinks it is the unfolding.

You see, although all there is is the unfolding, there is something more than the unfolding - oh save me from such paradoxical irony! Yes, but the add on is simply additional software, not hardware. One might say that the unfolding is your reality (your hardware), but, and it's a Big BUT - but something is sitting BANG on top of the unfolding and that is what I call the conditioned personality (your software).

Now, there's nothing wrong with having a personality, far from it, even the writer has one, apparently - who'd have thought it? But what one also has to realise is that your conditioning isn't the whole story, it isn't the whole you; it is just an aspect, or a part of who you are. In fact, it is an add-on!

There is only the unfolding, and as such, and for want of a better description, there is only nothing appearing as everything, and that includes your conditioned personality with all its likes/dislikes, and imagined rights and wrongs, fears, doubts, worries Etc.


    So, what is the unfolding? Nothingness. Nothingness unfolds as what is unfolding. However, you are conditioned to think otherwise, which means you've lost touch with your reality as the unfolding. You think you are your personality, which to a certain degree you are; your personality is unfolding, so how could it be otherwise? It cannot be otherwise. So, what happened, and what is happening? You became conditioned by the world, and took on a mask of pretence, which is your personality. Previously (at birth) you were simply the unfolding - and you still are, but with additional software as a conditioned Person/personality. That is what happened, and is what is happening.

The Unfolding is simply unfolding. Most people have forgotten their reality as the unfolding, they believe they are their thoughts and feelings, which is simply a gathering of time - it's baggage, the past time they have lived here in existence since birth -  it is the conditioned personality. Okay, so what am I doing here on this Blog? What I'm doing here is . . . nothing. What are you doing here? Nothing.

We're doing nothing, you see, there is no one here; how could there be if all there is is the unfolding? This is the work of the unfolding, which is simply unfolding as these words so that the unfolding can read them and recognise its very own reality. The unfolding is pointing a finger towards the unfolding and is present as both the writer and the reader; that's what is happening here, and that is the unfolding . . .
