What Is Mu?

My associations about passing through the gateless gate are 1) that it's not a place but a state of consciousness, and 2) no one allows me in but me and no one keeps me out but me. For me, passing through the gateless gate means to wake up, remove the cataracts, see a broader slice of what is, be less in the world and more not of it. In my early waking up, I saw a commercial in which an American Indian was looking out over the territory and said to a little boy next to him, "It's all alive." I related to that and still do. I see more often and more clearly that all existence is one and is alive and I am a part of of the one. What helps me is I'm stronger and I think more elusive in being awake, still I'm careful with showing however much being awake I am, and I'm aware of awake me being always present even if off stage somewhere in the background.
