Life, in its purest form, is neither owned nor experienced by a “me.” It simply appears and disappears effortlessly, like images in a dream. When thoughts are absent, there is no ego, no doer, no ownership. Only the natural unfolding of body and mind. Every movement, every breath, and every sensation arises and vanishes within Pure Consciousness, untouched and unclaimed.

Even a simple act like walking to the kitchen becomes a profound example. When there is no thought interfering, the body moves smoothly, guided by its own intelligence, and life flows as it is. There is no sense of “me” walking, no ownership of the act, no continuity of self, just the effortless arising and vanishing of movement within emptiness.

Thoughts, however, can interfere and temporarily create a sense of life as “solid” or “owned.” When fear, attachment, or expectation arises, the ego claims the moment: “I am moving, I am doing, I am experiencing.” In these moments, life appears heavier, as if it belongs to someone, rather than simply unfolding on its own.

Returning to the kitchen example, notice that even if the hands reach for the door, the steps proceed naturally. The body knows what to do; the mind may whisper, but it is only when thought attaches that the ego emerges and claims life as personal. Without this interference, life is vivid, dreamlike, and empty / arising and disappearing freely.

This demonstrates a subtle yet powerful truth: Pure Consciousness never touches, owns, or experiences life. What we call experience arises only when thought attaches and gives solidity to the moment. In its absence, life flows like water, effortless, and unclaimed.

In essence, walking to the kitchen or any ordinary action can reveal this natural law. When thought interferes, ego arises and life seems personal; when thought ceases, ego disappears, and life flows vividly yet unexperienced, appearing and vanishing in perfect emptiness.

Thought arises and life appears: When the mind generates a thought, the ego claims ownership, creating a sense of “me” and giving life solidity.

Thought ceases and life vanishes: When there is no thought, there is no ego, no doer, no ownership. Life unfolds effortlessly, vivid yet unclaimed, and dissolves naturally.

Body moves naturally, smoothly, without control. If thought interferes (fear, expectation, or attachment), ego temporarily claims life as “mine.”

Without interference, life is dreamlike: fingers reach, feet step, breath flows, yet no one experiences it.

This illustrates that Pure Consciousness is the backdrop, unchanging and untouched, while life arises and disappears on its own.
