You Are

You are before the questions, you are before the answers.

You are before the pain, you are before the pleasure.

You are before the fear, you are before the comfort.

You are before the doubt, you are before the certainty.

You are before thought, before sleeping, before waking.

You are before the body and you are before the mind.

You simply ARE. And every experience, sensation, sight, sound, taste, action arises in the simple awareness that you are. How could you know any of these apparent opposites if you are not aware of their coming and going?

You are before it all.

Don’t believe me. Look for yourself.
