What Is Naturally Appearing Is Already Enough

What is, is what is seemingly appearing. Sometimes it appears as though it is appearing to someone who knows. That, too, is simply what is appearing.

The illusion is not what is appearing, but that there is someone or something who knows what is appearing and, by virtue of being this knower, stands apart from what is appearing, as if it were something real that is happening to them in time and space. Thoughts, sensations and perceptions are then assumed to belong to them, and the world is experienced as separate from them.

In this entrancing dream of being someone or something, there is always the sense that what is appearing is not enough, is in the wrong place, or that something else needs to appear to make it right. What is appearing becomes divided into good and bad appearances, those to seek and those to avoid. The search for fulfilment, certainty, meaning and completion is born from this apparent division.

There is also the obviousness that this apparent knower of what appears is an illusion. It cannot be found as an independently existing self of any kind. This is not something that anyone achieves or attains. It is simply an obviousness, for no-one, that may appear for no reason.

Here, all that remains is what is seemingly appearing, timelessly, for no-one and for no reason.

Strangely, this is enough.

It might be described as whole, complete and naturally alive as it is. Not because anything has changed, but because what is appearing was never incomplete in the first place.

What is appearing turns out to be neither a separate thing nor complete nothing. It seems to defy both categories and may simply be described as no-thing seemingly appearing, or no-thing no-thinging.

But even this explanation may be unnecessary for the wholeness of what is appearing to be obvious.

Life may continue to appear exactly as it always has, but free of the contracted sense that it is owned or controlled, as if there were someone doing it.

Care for the body and the world may continue to appear. Creative endeavour may continue to appear. Practical organisation may continue to appear.

Free of the limiting and fearful sense of being something separate.

Should the habitual thoughts and feelings of being a separate personal self reappear, they too are simply what is appearing. They are seen for the illusion they are and may, in time, lose all power. They no longer need to be believed because the apparent knower to whom they once seemed to belong is already obvious as an illusion.
