but let's suppose now you are babies again and you don't know anything
 now don't be frightened because anything you know you can get back later
 but for the time being here is our awareness
 and let's suppose you have no information about this at all and no words for it
 and that my talking to you is just a noise
 now don't try to do anything about this don't make any effort
 because naturally by force of habit certain tensions remain inside you
 and certain ideas and words drift all the time through your mind
 just like the wind blows or clouds move across the sky
 don't bother with them at all don't try to get rid of them
 just be aware of what's going on in your head
 like it was clouds in the sky or the crackling of the fire
 there's no problem to this all you have to do really
 is look and listen without naming and if you are naming never mind
 just listen to that now that you can't force anything here
 that you can't willfully stop thinking and stop naming
 is only telling you that the separate you doesn't exist
 it isn't a mark of defeat it isn't a sign of your lack of practice
 in meditation that it runs on all by itself simply means
 that the individual separate you is a figment of your imagination
 so you are aware at this point of a happening
 remember you don't know anything about the difference between you and it
 you haven't been told that you've no words for the difference between
 inside and outside between here and there
 nobody has taught you that what you see out in front of you
 is either near or far from your eyes
 watch a baby put out a finger to touch the moon
 you don't know about that
 it's just therefore here it is
 we'll just call it this and if you will feel it
 the going on which includes
 absolutely everything you feel
 well whatever that is it's what the Chinese call Tao
 what Buddhists call suchness or Tathata
 and it's a happening it doesn't happen to you
 because where is that you what you call you is part of the happening
 or an aspect of it has no parts it's not like a machine
 and it's a little scary because you say well who's in control around here
 why should there be anyone
 that's a very weird notion we have that
 processes require something outside them to control them
 it never occurred to us that processes could be self-controlling
 even though we say to someone control yourself
 we can always in order to think about self-control
 we split a person in two
 so that there's a you separate from the self that's supposed to be controlled
 well how can that achieve anything how can a noun start a verb
 yet it's a fundamental superstition that that can be done
