64. Wholly Ghost.

Wholeness as / of seeing, hearing and other sensing is –all there is. This includes the body that is thought to be ours or there is a feel / thought  that a ‘me’ is residing in this body or owns this body.. The seeing that is happening, already includes the see-er or the Human being involved, as the ‘seen’. That makes the actual see-er a Ghost because,  the Human see-er that we think we are, has already gone into the category of the ‘seen’. Ghost is an entity that is not there objectively. There is no way to sense a Ghost, because it doesn’t have any quality that can be sensed. It comes in the category of ‘non-sense’ as far as our limited senses are concerned.

Wholeness is the cumulative display of creation. It is also called ‘What is Happening’. The looks of the display keeps changing every instant, like water flowing on your leg, when you stand in a river. The display is a sensation. Even more , it is only a ‘sensing’. Sensation would be a step further, making worldly meaning to the ‘sensing’ for purpose of memory or recall. But even the story to the sensing or the so called meaning to ‘what is happening’, is still happening on its own, with a ‘Ghost’ handling this ‘happening’. There is no-one in control or there is a Ghost in control, of all what is happening and to all so called ‘persons’. The ‘sensing’ of what is happening is ‘by’ a constant or by an unchanging factor or unknown factor or ghostly factor -and the sensations of what is happening are felt as a ‘knowing’ of these changing sensations.  The sensations, even of our own body, that make up the story of this body, are changing every day. It seems to look older, weaker or stronger, tired or sleepy etc etc. However the knower of this knowing is the unchanging, unknown, objectively non-existent knower or a Ghostly entity. Even to imagine ‘That’ as a ghost is giving it some unknown structure to be made seem as ‘known’.

Unfortunately, this ‘GHOST’  what is Wholeness is, is playing itself out, and features man as the subject and rest of wholeness as ‘his’ objects, so that this ghostly ‘knowing effect’ remains hidden. We can call him ‘Spooky’ just so that, it doesn’t scare the one featured in wholeness as ‘Human Being’. The whole of creation, displays itself as an ever changing pattern of nature, animals, humans etc, including an ever changing pattern of this body, being known to a ‘knowing’ that is ‘never’ changing and not identifiable as ‘something’ existing. However, ‘we’ are this knowing itself as that unchanging Ghostly entity as ‘we’ seem to be knowing all that is changing, by ‘being’ the unchanging knowing as a ‘non-entity’. How else could this be?.

Wholeness has a way of knowing itself even if it is ‘not’ present as a knower that is falling in the category of a ‘known’ that can be searched and pin pointed to. Take the case of a flower as wholeness. We can search the flower inside out, pick all its petals, sepals, stems, pollen etc or whatever and never find a flower, inside of IT or never find ‘what it was’ that we called the flower. It was the wholeness itself and never as a ‘sum’ of its parts. 4 was 4 and not 2 + 2, as we normally try to figure things out. We cannot identify what wholeness is, unless we become used to see wholeness as something inclusive of us, as this body or as ‘seen’ as if wholeness was by a ‘ghost’ or spooky or by no-body. To ‘see’ wholeness, being outside of wholeness is only a Ghostly ‘feeling’ or as if one was ‘not’. It is the feeling of the presence of ‘Absence’.

This Ghost has a better name, namely  ‘Presence’  ‘Life’ etc. It runs the show and ‘knows’ it too. The way it hides itself, is by being and knowing as ‘one’ single entity that is ‘not’. Life is ‘being’ whole, and ever changing and also the knowing as ‘we’ or the ‘spooky’ the knower. A very mysterious method by which ‘just’ the knowing ‘feels’ as if ‘being’. Its like a dream seeming ‘real’. There is a ‘seeing’ and feeling of reality to the see-ing or sensing. That reality is in terms of ‘feeling’ its objective ‘feel’. When you see the display of a snake, the ‘feel’ of fear is simultaneously felt around the chest, as if, that snake was making this feel. Both arise together ‘to’ the knowing or a ‘ghostly’ entity, unfindable objectively, but always present as the most immediate presence all around, doing its job skilfully and stillfully or silently.

It wont be wrong to acknowledge this Ghost as God. After all, God also has the same objective existence or non-existence as an object. Presence, God, I –am, Life, etc are all other names of this Ghost, which appears as this objective universe and knows it too. We are party to the knowing . We are the knowing part of God who is acting the ‘Being’ part as Wholeness or ‘what is happening’ or this objective universe, which is not ‘apart’ from the ‘knowing’ or ‘us’. We are the basis for this universe to be or ‘as the knowing of it’, and all there is –is ‘only’ the knowing of it. There isn’t a ‘IT’ existing separate from THIS knowing. It is mysteriously oven in such a way, that ‘only’ knowing behaves as a ‘Being’.

How to catch a GHOST is anybody’s guess, especially, when the ‘you’, that is trying to grasp IT is already featuring ‘you’ in IT, trying to grasp it.

Its not only difficult, but impossible to know the knower by being outside of IT. All there is –is ‘one’ or wholeness,  featuring itself as ‘many’ using a funny method of making seem one ‘object’ a subject for the rest, when all there is –is one subjectivity. This is a marvellous ‘illusion’. May be, someday, this ‘feel’ will set in, the same way, the present feel of being ‘separate’ individuals, that we seem to be, but not, has already mysteriously set in.
