New Mystery, God, the witness, an ear and a knee

***

Nothing ever changes, and everything is always new.

Go through mystery to the One. The One Mystery. No, you can't go, or then there would be two.

We are nothing inside but what lies outside, thus there is no difference; if we are nothing without IT, we are IT.

There is no distance between self and being; being is self, self is being. You are here, and Here is you. You are nowness never stopping.

When you turn your eyes to God, you see the witness witnessing. God is inside you, but is not you. And you are not you. Both God and you are not-you, in you.

            The witness merely observes. But to 'be in God', one must 'be', and be 'in' God. One does not merely watch, one also feels God in everything. One Body exists, as in how your ear is related to your knee, but not really. And yet these two are part of one person.
