The Golden Thread of Being

Notice that the simple feeling of being accompanies all experience – whatever you are experiencing, you are. The ‘I am’ is the current running unchanged throughout your life, the golden thread on which experiences are hung. You can say ‘I am’ with absolute certainty because you are aware of being – the ‘I’ that ‘I am’ and the ‘I’ that knows are the same. Being just is – when your body moves, being doesn’t move; when mind thinks, being remains unchanged. Whatever you’re experiencing, it’s always the same – still, silent at peace. Being is like the golden thread holding beads together, making you feel you have one continuous life. Being is uncreated, present throughout all states. Everything emerges from being, but being doesn’t emerge. The feeling of being pervades the entire world – there’s one indivisible being from which all emerges. This recognition that being is one, unlimited, impersonal but utterly intimate is love.
