As long as you search the seeker you observe the observer believing that "consciousness" (the so-called "true self" or religiously the "source" or romantically the "soul") should be something different than EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS. Ego fears the infinite flow (the stream of consciousness!) thru its own emptiness: the world is neither an object (as there is no subject) nor a dream (as there is no awoken "absolute" reality beyond THIS) - IT JUST HAPPENS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT NOW! Universe makes love with itself thru your present nothingness...
