Nothing More, Nothing Less, Nothing Else

"Pure is only form; there is, then, nothing more than this."
-The Scripture of Great Wisdom

There is nothing more than this.

You can confirm this yourself, using your eyes and ears, your body and mind. Whatever is happening now is all that there is. Even if you're remembering the past or planning for the future, the planning and the remembering is happening now.

There is nothing more than this.

There is also nothing LESS than this. You might not notice the sound of the fan in the background, but it's still there and you are still hearing it. The feelings you don't want or are trying to deny are happening whether you like it or not. You don't have to be aware of your your blood circulating oxygen to your lungs or your liver processing toxins to reap the benefits

There is also nothing BUT this. You can never know what is happening at this moment in some far off place or even in the mind of someone very close. There is no alternative present you can leap to where this happened instead of that, where you made that decision instead of this one. Whatever is going on in your life right now, a lottery won, a car stolen, a dream fulfilled, a heart broken, or the unimaginable boredom of no change at all...Yes, this is really happening.

There's nothing more than this. There's nothing less than this. There's nothing else but this.

There's only this.

Isn't that cool?
