About Me:
I am nothing.
I mean that literally, not esoterically or metaphorically. Literally, I am no-thing.
I have nothing. Each of my limited possessions are but functional symbols.
sym·bol - n. Something that represents something else by association, resemblance, or convention, especially a material object used to represent something invisible.My body, along with its momentary possessions, is a functioning symbol… a sign that something invisible is in organized-motion. If you spend enough time observing my body, you will observe it as a fleeting emergence that is degenerating back to the elements from which it sprang forth as a symbol of the organized-motion of Life, which is invisible. (You cannot see or touch Life. You can only see or touch other symbols of Life.)
But of what is a symbol made? Is it not simply a concept–an idea that associates a THIS with a THAT? And what is an idea, if not simply a thought, a spontaneous movement within the protoplasmic brain? And of what is a thought made? Is it not simply an empty space from which the protoplasmic brain interacts with memory and sentience (i.e., the five senses)?
I offer nothing. When I say, 'I offer nothing,' I mean (literally) I offer myself. (I am nothing.) Perhaps you see yourself as some-thing; perhaps that something is your body? I offer you no-thing. And if we have the good fortune of getting to know one another, you will know me (and yourself) as no-thing. Together, we will be the empty space from which Love was known. This is the embrace of God. This is Atman (Self) being expressed through us, our nothingness.
And with joyful heart, and with stillness of mind, we will exclaim, together, “Gloria in Excelsis! Deo!”
