“Picture a strong box with a strong lid. Open the lid. Now take your past - all the so called good and bad... everything that's ever happened to you... and put it into the box... all of your past has been written down. Take all of your past... and put it into the box. Now take your right hand and push it down to the bottom. Now take your right hand out. Now take all of your future - all your hopes and dreams... all of it... and put it into the box. Now take your right hand and push this future to the bottom of the box with the past. Now take your right hand out. Now take your name - you didn't pick it, it was chosen for you. Now take your name and push it to the bottom of the box with your right hand - with the past and future. Now take your right hand out. Now close your lid and pick up your box. Now walk with me to an imaginary cliff. See yourself looking over... It's bottomless. Now quickly throw your box over the cliff... and don't take your eyes off of it. It's going down... down... down... Down... Until it's a tiny little speck... and then it's gone!
Now... Who are you now?
Who are you without a past, without a future, and without a name?
You don't even know... Do you?
In fact... You have no idea who you are!
Let me ask you a question, "do you have a problem right now?"
You don't... do you? In fact... you've never had a problem... Have you?
You don't have a problem because the mind hasn't given you one yet.
Yes... you are just fine... Pure... Clear... and still. And you have always been This... Pure... and still... you've always be at peace... and always will.
In fact, the real You has never had a problem because the real You is beyond all comings and goings of this world. You are Timeless Awareness... and Being. You have always been This... and you will always be That!
Peace...”
