Pointers

Pointers to what exactly?

To follow the pointers, you need a sufficient understanding of what they mean, meaning what “direction” they are pointing.

Why any pointers?

The suggestion is that there is a greater reality, a fundamental, absolute, divine Reality right under our noses that we are overlooking or missing or not aware of.  And the most basic pointer to this is that this overlooked Reality is “within” us and so to find it we should look “inward”.

What does “within” mean? Or “inward”?

 - As in: look within;

 - The kingdom of God is within you.

 - From your innermost being  shall flow rivers of living water.

Other “inward” pointers:

 - Your heart;

 - Ask “who am I?” Or what is this “I”?  I-I.

 - What’s looking:

    - “What you’re looking for is what’s looking.”

 - Be aware of being aware.

 - The light of awareness;

      awareness is like light,

      awareness is a spacious knowingness;

 - You are awareness itself,

      awareness is what you are.

 - Stay with the “I am”.

 - Stay with the sense of “I am”.

 - “I AM THAT I AM,” says God in Exodus 3:14

 - “Before Abraham was born, I am.”  says Jesus in John 8:58

 - Inward or within is not so much a direction, rather it is a negation of all directions.

 - To stop hearing/reading/thinking about the pointers and actually follow the pointers, it requires stillness, an alert stillness.

 - “Be still, and know that I am God.”    Psalm 46:10
