It is like the earth rotating around the sun. We think of each rotation as a day, then a week, month and year. However, nothing is really happening except a circle of activity. You are not the wheel - you are the silent hub in the center that watches everything and is untouched by all that changes. This is the fear of the superficial self, which fears what it cannot understand.
True living is done in the center without a surface, shallow self.
It is the Presence of Being. It is this that we have been chasing for centuries but never knew it. It is ecstasy, unconditional love, lasting joy, and great happiness. In comparison, the life of the ego is made up of death and time consciousness. You have never been anything else.
