CRYSTALIZED   

 

In recognizing the impermanence of each thought, each feeling, each moment of experience, we come to see there is nothing we can hold to that will give us lasting satisfaction.   There is no place we can solidly plant our feet on and say, "This is who I am."  It is a constantly changing flow, in which, moment to moment, who we think we are  is born and dies.    ...There is no person in there, there is  just process.  Who we think we are is just another bubble in the stream. 

 

Only the clarity of seeing is of importance.  It is not what is seen so much as how clearly it is perceived.  Then the investigation becomes what is the  truth, who am I really, what is it that I call "I,"  what dies?  Am I these  thoughts?  Am I this mind?  Am I this body?
