Stillness Reflection 3. Nothing Personal

This reflection invites a gentle inquiry into the sense of personal identity. Praise and blame, certainty and doubt, success and failure are allowed to arise just as they are, without reference to a separate self at their centre.

As the belief in a personal identity is seen as an appearance within inseparable awareness, life is no longer experienced as something happening to someone. Experience continues, yet it is recognized as the natural, impersonal unfolding of life itself.

A contemplative resting place that points to ease, openness, and the timeless presence in which all experience appears.
