So I have somehow seen that I have no idea what is going on. All I have to figure anything out with is my own mind. And what exactly is my mind? It is seen to be another concept of my mind. So all is mind. EVERYTHING IS MY MIND!! Even that knowing presence or seeing or whatever is watching is also just more mind stuff. What ever I think or say or do or believe or not believe or know or not know is all MIND. No way out or in because that is also mind. Even "THAT" is just more mind! The sense that "I am That" is also mind stuff. The sense of I or Oneness is also mind! This present moment or the Now is my mind. Anything and everything I or not I could ever come up with is ALL MY MIND!
So now what......

Yes, you're right. There is Nothing. There is nothing left to do and no one to do anything. All these concepts of awakening and Oneness and I Am That and Advaita and the witness - these are all just concepts arising in Mind.
What is happening NOW is Reality - bare, naked and impersonal consciousness... The witnessing of the arising of the world, and that world arises out of mind, out of consciousness, in fact is not separate from that consciousness. It is consciousness aware of itself through the kaleidoscope of mind.
In the ACTUALITY of NOW, on the RAZOR'S EDGE of NOW, who can say anything about THIS? Who can find Oneness? Who is doing the knowing?
All I can find is the wind blowing through the trees, the hum of the computer fan, the slight sensation of hunger. It's a beautiful and ugly picture animated by the light of consciousness.
And in this immediate manifestation, I cannot find mind, neither can I find enlightenment or suffering, Oneness, Peace, Love...
In THIS, words have no meaning.

When all is seen to be one's mind... what's left? Any answer is just more mind.....So all questions and answers dissolve in This.
(What?)
This hum of the computer that is always here, sometimes noticed, sometimes not....
This (what?) in my visual field that is always here, sometimes noticed, sometimes not....
This (what?) that never moves, on which everything moves....
Clearly mind is asking the question. But what is noticing?

You are. It's all you.
An old Sufi saying goes something like this:
(1) He that seeks finds.
(2) He that doesn't seek finds.
"I" put a lot of effort into (1), and non-duality, coming down hard on (2), has helped "me" see that this "trying entity" is just one more apparent object coming or going, among billions of other object caught up in creation's dance.
This seeing makes don't-know mind a refuge, a very fine "place" to be -- where knowing and seeing arise spontaneously like grace, where "THAT which doesn't move" occupies visual foreground, independent of any mental state or turbulence.
I experience my mind as a useful vehicle for seeing/noticing what is NOT true. Seeing the false as false, No-Thing remains, residing No-where, in, could one say, No-mind?
When you can write a blog entry and get many wonderful comments, you are hitting home, the one you never left.
Great post and great comments.
