welcome
so for some of you who are new who may be new
there will be a guided meditation which would be followed by questions and answers
so for the meditation you’re all muted you’re welcome to unmute yourself after the first part of this meeting
so to start with just sit comfortably the welcome your experience just as it appears to you without any need to do any effort
whatever sensations arise to you don’t interfere just allow things to be as they are there is no effort required to simply be
there are no problems that you need to resolve for now
nothing that we’re trying to achieve
no state that we’re trying to attain
in the absence of any judgment in the absence of any resistance everything is fine as it is
in the absence of any identification wide open space is unobstructed
there is nothing that you need to protect
everything that appears to you is transitory impermanent is of no real consequence
but you this aware presence you do not appear nor do you disappear
like clouds which appear in the wide open sky the wide open sky is unaffected undisturbed
the wide open sky has no identity no borders no personal definition
you as consciousness
5:01 you are like this wide open sky
bodily Sensations appear to you
perceptions and thoughts of various forms and various content appear to you
they are like the wide open sky
they’re like clouds appearing in the Wide Open Sky of different shapes in different forms
effortlessness is your true nature
which is in this formless reality which perceives right now this perception
the non-phenomenal reality which is the reality of consciousness
notice that in your experience there is that which is perceived but also there is awareness the reality which perceives
you know awareness as I as reality
whenever you refer to yourself it is Consciousness referring to itself
you do not refer to yourself as an object when you say I you’re referring in fact to the invisible reality
which is not divided in bits and pieces
It Is by mistaking yourself to be a set of Sensations and a set of thoughts and perceptions that you mistakenly experience yourself as a mortal entity
there is nothing mortal about yourself
there’s nothing mortal about reality about consciousness
everything that appears to you disappears but you don’t
the only seeking is done by the imaginary you
imagine yourself to be lacking to be limited
you imagine yourself to exist in time and space
you overlook that time and space appear 10:03 to you they appear to you as thoughts and perceptions
thoughts of yesterday and thought of tomorrow appear to you
you do not appear within a thought you do not exist within a thought or with any feeling
your feeling appears to you like the weather appears to you
and perceptions appear to you perspective of distance
it’s a mind construction which appears to you nothing within the realm of that which appears to you is telling you to identify yourself with an appearance
you don’t need to identify yourself with a storyline or even memories and thoughts and sensations and feelings there is no need for you to do that it is unnecessary and useless
rather than knowing yourself to be somebody with a story and a history you’re better off to remain not knowing
to remain this reality which knows itself to be but does not know itself as something
which is sufficient for you to rest as being without knowing what this is
it is sufficient to be because being is universal has no boundaries and is sufficient until itself
like or maybe they said being is non-being is not and has never been
that which is cannot not be and that which is not has never been
rest as being without knowing allow yourself to be this not knowingness
you don’t need to write any script about yourself because you already are the reality of being 14:33 the only reality that is
