As any other answer, this too is called upon with a question. Not a
question of objects, but rather a question of subjects. In the pursu-
ance of finding the right form of this question, one must look closely
at one’s current circumstances. Remember that truth is always cur-
rent, alive, present, so if one is willing to search for it, one must al-
ways work with what one already has. No additions or improvements
are necessary. Any of that will only further clutter the scene, making
it even harder to find clarity.

What is present right now, right here, that is not of Truth?

In the asking of this question, significant is not the actual answer, we
are not looking for that here, but rather the reaction triggered by the
question itself. Oh, and it can be an overwhelming reaction, it often
is. Since there are forces within one, that will do everything in their
power to impede this revealing. There will be thoughts and feelings,
strong emotional jolts, identity patterns which have already been
dwelling inside one for a long period of time. Still, there is something,
right at the core of all this, in our innermost being, something that
holds all of these utterances together. The very sense of “I am”.

The sense of “I am” is the one thing that nothing can touch. The one
who knows the true meaning of “I am”, is the one who knows every-
thing.

Nonetheless, that which is not ultimately real has found a way of
hijacking the original “I am”. And has done so by clouding it. Just like
the sun is clouded, so is the Truth clouded. As in the case of the sun,
Truth is not affected by these actions either. Its light forever shines,
unmatched, unparalleled, untouchable.
