I Am That

I came out of a meditative sleep
Aware of that familiar state of blissful being
Buzzing, flowing, expanding, loving, ecstatic.

My awareness noticed
I am not the body
I cannot feel the body
I am Lightness and Energy

My intellect said
If I am not the body
Then where are my parameters?

My awareness laughed and said
What parameters?
There are none.

My intellect said
If I have none
Then where do I begin and end?

Again my awareness laughed and said
You don't

My intellect said
If I don't begin or end then
Who am I?
What am I?

My awareness stayed silent
As I experienced the answer
For my Self.

In ecstasy I realize
I am the same as Everything
I flow into all that is and am That
If I have no parameters then
Nothing else does either

There is only this
This that I Am
Is all there is.
I really am...That.
This realization both excites and startles me.

I notice a sudden hunger in the body
I struggle to get up
And have some food
Nature's way of grounding to the earth.
But I just consume my Self
In Holy Communion.
Amen to That.
