“I remain a witness to what unfolds, watching as the being lives through moment after moment. It zigzags wildly through the invisible ocean of moments. Gradually, a line forms – a thread of reality.
Just a moment ago, the being was in the empty consciousness-space. Now it races through preformed moments. It believes it exists in these moments. It believes it is the center of its experience, of its perception.
And then – then the trap snaps shut. A trap that no one set, but from which it can now no longer escape. The being identifies with what it experiences, has experienced, and believes it will experience.
Now it’s no longer nothing in the midst of nothing.
Now it’s the experiencer – a subject that rushes from moment to moment, driven by the desire for ever new perceptions.”
From “Come – To the End of Illusion”
