no one gets it

No one gets it. When you are no one, you will get it. But you'll also be no one. It won't matter so much that you get it, not how it mattered when you thought you were someone. In order to matter, there needs to be a someone to whom getting it is important.

Whenever you are no one, you will get it again. Whenever you are someone, you will no longer get it, and eventually return to wishing you did. The wishing is your doorway back into being no one, and getting it again. You can step through any time, and you will.

The experience of being awake is moment to moment. At any moment you can be someone or you can be no one and you'll come to see the difference clearly. Then the main function of being someone will be to realize you are no one, whenever you forget.

How will know you forgot? You will think you are someone again. Thinking you are someone is a state of forgetting. Understanding you are no one is a state of remembering. But no one will be there to remember, and that means you are getting it.

When getting it becomes regular, the difference between a someone and a no one will go away, because all differences belong to a someone. To a no one there are no differences. To a no one everything is absolutely the same underneath the diversity.

It is mostly as a no one that the deepest beauty of the world becomes evident. To a someone the recognition of that beauty tends to bring out a sense of being no one. Beauty humbles the someone into a state we call awe. Do you feel it? You really awe to.
