Letting go and letting be

It seems to me that letting go is letting be. How can that which has never been absent, even for a moment, present itself?

What you are is always, already, present. It is void, pure Awareness. Mysteriously, spontanously and unavoidably this Pure Void stirs itSelf, creating in its currents the illusion of the creation that is witnessed as reality. Part of this creation is the idea of being a someone separated in the body-mind organism.

This idea, the ego-concept, is in itself just an action that appears in the present moment, in what you are. Ego is not an entity, it is an activity, therefore it is not always present. As long as Awareness is still identified with its content it is not possible for it to be aware of itself, but will believe to be the subject of that idea. So the letting go is just of the identification with that idea, that reveals what IS already the case. You cannot let go what are, because there is never a moment in which you are not.

Your Being is always Here, but the attention is not always on it, but on its manifested qualities. The various activities of the dream on which the false subject is super-imposed like a an object reflected in a mirror leads you to look at the image and not at the emptiness of the mirror itsef. If the mirror would not exist, the image, that is always changing, could not appear. You are that empty mirror, the void canvas on which Life is painted. Life itself is just a movement in the mirror, so it cannot be really separated by it.
But yet, your reality is not the movement but the stillness in which and out of which Life is appearing. Infact Life appears and disappears and you not: Life is the illusion, what you are is Absolute Reality.

So letting go has to happen, but nobody lets go: it is the somebody that has to die, the idea to be a separate entity must be seen in all its illusion not just intellectually but intuitivly too. In other words has to be perceived directly, without any further conceptualization or intuitive sensation. The reflection in the mirror can be the pointer to the fact that what is mirroring itself is not the image that is just a reflection, but the pure light of awareness.

What-Is, the letting be as you call it, is what remains when the idea to be someone is let go. That letting be is not done with any effort, because there is no one anymore that could do any effort: all identity is disappeared and what is it is simply what was already the case.

This is the true key to joy: to rest in this letting BE.
