Who Are You

The brain is a good brain that worries. That is: it is good for itself, but a worrying brain only gets in the way of The Who. 

I can talk about ways we can suspend thoughts, but as I do this, it will be the brain, coming up with just the right words. At last, the brain will be very proud of the way it has explained how to avoid thinking; and how it used only thought to do so. 

There is no way to think your way out of thinking. You’d be a wave on the ocean, trying not to get wet. As a form, we’ve been engineered to sense, and all of our sensing is sent to the central system for analysis. Every thought is a signal, meant to test a form’s surroundings for the sole purpose of navigating the journey of the self. Sounds come back, smells arise, sentences spoken by others will be analyzed for deeper meanings, things will be felt by touch and then the signals fire again, looking for feedback. This is what you do, but not Who You Are. 

Draw a picture of a thoughtless image. It cannot be done. 

Thought must go into all doing and all doing arises out of thought. 

There is, inside every human, a being. That being is The Who. The Who is Life, which is the absence of things. 

If your thoughts were all shut down at once, you would not exist; but nor would anything else. 

The Who is The Observer; not the doer. However, all doing is being witnessed by The Observer; otherwise, nothing done would be observed; therefore, nothing would be done. 

“All things were made by Him and without Him, nothing was made that was made.”

The brain will allow you to think about the formless Who, but it can’t find the right words to inform you that those thoughts arise as a result of The Who; for The Who observed those thoughts and gave them Life. 

You are not observing what has been created; You are observing first and only then will that which you observe be created. 

The lower-self’s senses are slower than creation, so thought can never escape the image in the mirror. You cannot jump away from a mirror quick enough to see the mirror without your reflection, but you already know that it is not really you; but a reflection. 

In the same way, the entire universe is only the entire universe because You are looking. If you try, with all of your might, to excuse yourself from the entire universe, you’ll find your senses too slow to yield any experience without the You-niverse reflection. 

There is a really significant key in the short verse above: The writers translated it to suggest that things “were made” and that “nothing was made that was made”. This speaks of things as if they became things in the past (were). This is not easy to grasp, but it means Observation came first. You are not sensing what was created, You are projecting it. 

You see, The Who is He. He is also You, before you were born. 

We sometimes refer to The Who as Life. Alan Watts likes to ask, “Who were You, before you were born?”

So who is The Who? 

“Who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.” ~KJV

The Who is running circles around you, and you are chasing your own tail; trying to get a glimpse of The Who, face to face.

“Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.” Exodus 33:20 KJV

This verse is not a threat. It does not mean that there is any danger ahead. It just means that The Who cannot see what it is doing from the point of view of the one done to. 

What you think of as yourself is being observed by The Who, through your senses. Therefore, what you are looking for is not “out there” at all. 

So the question is: how do I find The Who? The Who is not revealed with observation: Neither can you say, “There He is.” Or “There He is.” For The Who is within you. Luke 17: 20-21 MCV

If the partitioning, hand of God, were taken away, you would only see the back parts of God. Exodus 18:23 MCV

With senses, you will never witness the connection between what-is and your observations. Your observations and that which you observe are entangled and no time passes as observations harden into what is being observed. 

However, this tells us that what we can do, prior to creating, is change the environment from which we create. 

Once a photon has hardened into a particle, the fact that it was a particle is no longer a debate, but before it was observed, it was only potential, in a superposition, undefined and uncreated. Looking for it created it; scientifically and philosophically and factually. 

Looking for God won’t reveal God, but the theophany occurs by looking inward and the evidence is the substance of things hoped for and the things not seen. 

Who were You before you were born is not a question, but the answer, as spoken by Yoda.

“Who were you, before born You were.” ~ perhaps Yoda
