What You Can Perceive Is Not You!

This meditation uses the movie screen metaphor to help you recognize yourself as the transparent, self-aware screen—untouched by anything that appears or disappears.

Just like a movie screen remains unblemished whether comedy or tragedy plays on it, you remain untouched by thoughts, feelings, sensations, and experiences. But because of your transparency, you've identified with the reflections instead of the screen itself.

You'll discover: Whatever you can perceive is not you. You are the perceiver. When you believe yourself to be what appears on the screen, you suffer its fate. When you recognize yourself as the screen—nothing can be added, nothing subtracted. You are complete.

This is the snake and the rope: until morning appears, you believe the illusion. But once you see through it, you can't unsee it.

The stakes are high. Your peace is at stake here.
