Guided Meditation Transcript (11/08/2026)

Lovely to be with you.

So, if we can sit comfortably
and simply be.

Letting go of any activity
because right now there is no need
to engage the mind.

Let yourself be carried by the flow
without any effort
without any resistance
without any destination.

Because you are the destination.
You already are that which you are.

You can invite the mind to rest.

This effortless beingness
without any need to know anything
without defining yourself in any way
without defining your experience.

A sort of settling of the mind
and relaxation of the body.

You can turn your attention
towards the body space.

Whatever sensations are appearing to you
give them all the space that they need
without trying to fix anything.

It’s an invitation to rest deeply
to take a break from the ongoing activity of the mind
and to invite your body to rest
in its effortless nature
which is a profound restfulness.

It can be challenging for the mind to do nothing
and challenging for the body
not to want to change the experience
but it is possible.

All is well
all is well
because all activity is impersonal.

Although there may be a belief
that I am somebody; I’m this or that.
These are just passing thoughts.
They have no real power.

Notice how
irrespective of what has appeared
or is appearing on the screen.
There is space available to contain all of it.

Contain meaning to embrace it
to perceive it, to experience it
without any resistance.

And this perceiving space
this aware space
is undisturbed
is unaffected.

It is the true you
the real you
the only you.

If you notice any tension
in the mind or in the body.
Allow it to be.

Simply notice you’re noticing.
You don’t need to make a problem
out of anything.

The mind may be triggered and engaged in thinking.
We remain the witness.
We remain as that awareness
remain as it is.
That is the beauty of it.

In our life, all sorts of events unfold.
In the world, in the body, in the mind, in relationships.
It is the dance of life.

The invitation is for you to realize
your complete non-movement.
Your complete non-affectedness.
You are not affected.

Your body may be affected by sickness
by events in the world.
Your mind may be affected
by certain activities, noise, and sound.
But you are not affected.

When events in the world
events in the mind
no longer take you into reactivity
you have entered God’s garden.

Sometimes there is the thought that
realization is like a blank state.
That’s not the case.

The realization of your true nature
is the realization of the causeless peace.
But creation and creativity are still ongoing.
The Shiva and Shakti
the phenomenal activities of body-mind
the masculine, the feminine—
There are various manifestations
Still ongoing.

You still have palm trees, oak trees, and cedar trees
all sorts of flora and fauna
within awareness.
Various bodies, various minds
that are endowed with different characteristics
different tendencies
different artistic skills
that are drawn to different experiences
in different ways.

Body-minds have personalities.
They’re not all carbon copies of each other.
It’s important to acknowledge that
and recognize that the aspects of the body-mind
do not refer to ignorance.

A rose is a rose.
A jasmine is a jasmine.
A tulip is a tulip.
Such diversity of manifestation.

Certain people are very scientifically minded.
Others are artistically minded
some are analytically minded.

Recognizing that these are aspects of the body-mind
and not what you are.

Sometimes we say, “I’m very artistic.”
In fact, what we mean is that this body-mind is artistic.
It’s an important distinction
an important understanding.
Viveka.

The characteristics of your body-mind
the personality of the body
is not your personality,
because you have no personality.
The Self has no personality.
Or one could say that it has all personalities.

Having no personality is an open field
a spaciousness
an availability available for personality
available for whatever appears on the screen.
But what appears on the screen
does not stain the screen.

The screen has no edges, no borders, no separation.
The mind says, “Oh, this is my screen. This is your screen. There are many screens.”
This is the mind speaking.
It’s separation.
It’s ignorance.

Our experience is this:
No borders.
No personal screens.

You can rely on your direct experience
not on the mind, which is conditioned by beliefs
and ancient traditions.
No one knows your experience better than you.
You have full access.

Where do you find any borders of awareness?
Where in your direct experience
do you find where awareness starts and where it ends?

Do not be so attached to the personality of the body-mind
and do not be judgmental or proud.
It’s just part of the play.
Be gentle with it, be kind, be grateful, be unknowing
in order for the game to be played gracefully.
No need to get stuck in any point of view.

Some rivers flow rapidly.
Some are young, plenty of rapids, and have a lot of energy.
But that same river, a thousand years later
It could be an entirely different river.

There is a changeless aspect of your experience—
This peaceful presence, awake, always awake, always there.
There, I mean, nowhere and everywhere.
This ordinary awareness is magical.

Throughout your life
in the midst of activity
explore the non-movement
the still point
the heart of hearts.

It’s always there,
always inviting you:
I am, and I know that I am.
