Inquiring Into Should/Shouldn't and Should Have/Shouldn't Have
Weekly Living Method Inquiry by Dr. Glenda M. Tavormina: Teacher of The Living Method of Awakening
Can it be heard that when "you" say, "I should ........, or I shouldn't ........, that the future is being referred to? Can a future ever be found, or can it only be imagined?
And when is the future imagined? Can imagining appear any time but now?
Can anything appear other than now? So there's no future.
And can it be heard that when "you" say, "I should have ........, or I shouldn't have ........, that the past is being referred to? Can the past be found other than in memory? Isn't memory happening now? Can memory appear other than now? So there's no past.
Can the judgement be heard in should/shouldn't, and should have/shouldn't have?
Where is an owner of this judgement? Can the judge, "I," be found? Isn't the judge imaginary?
Can imagination, which is nothing more than a series of words, judge what should or shouldn't be?
Do words themselves have consciousness? Can something without consciousness judge?
Does consciousness, or awareness, judge, or does it just notice and allow, so to speak?
Given that awareness has no commentary about what's appearing, isn't it a lie to say "I" should/shouldn't, &/or, "I" should have/shouldn't have? Wouldn't only unconscious true nature say something like that?
This inquiry has exposed that there is no future. There is no past. There is no "I."
Can't the words should/shouldn't, and should have/shouldn't have, be an alarm clock to alert awareness that it has mistaken itself to be a separate limited body/mind with a future and a past?
Can what's infinite actually be limited, regardless of any feeling to the contrary?
Explore the infinite boundlessness of the vibrating infinite field of aware-ing. Is it possible to know what it is, or can its absence, only be known of? That's as far as we, so to speak, can go.
Resonating with the inquiry happens as it does, and it's OK. There's no alternative. There's no one to do the inquiry better. This must be It, because there’s only It. This is as it is, and what is, is not what it seems to be. Nothing is actually happening.
Only love,
Glenda
