BEFORE ...

JOHN MCINTOSH

Before the limitless concepts of the mind, with all its perspectives and opinions that change from season to season.

Before the senses that push and pull and seduce, influencing every choice.

Before all beliefs, faiths, religions and spiritual concepts.

Before the idea of time and space.

Before all opposites.

Before beginnings and endings.

Before memory and imagination.

Before all identities, attachments and expectations.


Truth IS.


What can be framed in description is illusion, no matter how beautiful or sublime.


This entity called ‘me’ clings to all of these, is made-up ‘from’ all of these and eventually falls away as the nothing-ness it is.


There IS only ONE SELF, and within the boundless-ness ‘of’ IT/YOU lies ‘all’ of these temporary moments, these dreams, these illusions that are called life … but it is LIFE that is projected ‘through’ these vignettes to play and dance and know ITs infinite potential … then return to the Nothing-ness, the Emptiness IT ‘is’.
