You are always here

The fact that you are here rests upon a continuous experience of being that is very simple and never changes. Can you notice it? Notice how you feel exactly the same now as you did when you were 5. Take a moment and notice the sense of self that was exactly the same at age 5 as it is right now. It is subtle and ordinary beyond belief and hence very easily overlooked.

No matter what’s going on, you are here, and you are not affected by anything. Can you notice that? When pain is here, you are the same, when pain is gone, you are the same. No matter what else is going on, underneath it all is you, silent, unchanging, here, and absolutely certain that you are here.
