Transcript of the Meditation
Welcome everybody lovely to be with you all
it’s so so lovely to recognize our self as as one
to meet without being somebody
without referring to the past without any judgment
meeting freshly as as this simple presence this simple being awareness
so in in such meeting there are no there is no separation
there is love
one could say God’s love shining
so for now let us welcome ourself and welcome each other and welcome our experience without knowing
who is innocence
openness
we allow our experience to be just as it is without trying to direct our experience towards any goal
let the mind be as it is
there is no yesterday and no tomorrow
the actuality in fact
5:03 this moment has its own sufficiency its own completeness
and there is no one standing apart
isness is what it is you are this isness this beingness and not a Limited object
not what you imagine yourself to be
feelings, sensations appear to you
like hearing these words appear to you like the breath
this gentle movement of the body appears to you
you are this borderless aware space
dancing within itself as a heartbeat as the hearing sensing
like water takes on the form of wavelets or bubbles
that which you perceive is your very self in motion
the waves are water in motion
it is the movement of water which we call waves
similarly it is consciousness awareness your very self which is manifesting as manifestation
from itself to itself
whatever you imagine is your creation and your perception – simultaneously
you create and you perceive 9:58 out of your infinite freedom and your infinite creative potential
there is no entity no personal self nobody who awakens or does not awaken
when clouds appear veiling the infinite sky
and the gusts of wind appears and dispels the clouds
the Wide Open Sky is revealed to have always been there irrespective of clouds veiling it ot not
you are the wide open sky
and the veil, the clouds in this metaphor is the belief that you are something else the belief that you are a person a limited entity
somebody with a history a past and a future
you overlook that you are not defined by that which appears to you
you are not defined by thoughts memories sensations world events events in the body
you are not defined by that which appears and disappears
awakening is the simple understanding that you are invisible borderless non-local impersonal awareness presence
all sorts of forms may appear to you world circumstances may appear they appear to you out of your very creation they do not appear to you out of a separate reality
you are the creator of the entire show and the perceiver of the entire show
and you’ve designed it so that certain body minds respond in certain ways to situations you’ve designed the entire play
15:01 you designed the intelligence within the body to respond
you designed the world it’s galaxies and skies and
gravitational fields is designed thought
sensation
we were designed ignorance
and the path from ignorance beyond ignorance out of ignorance
you are the designer and the player
the choreographer and the performer
there is no reality outside of being changeless this changeless consciousness the formless non-phenomenal reality that right now perceives and hears and is
being who you are you have always known that you are
you play the game of not knowing you play the game of being somebody
which is a game of limitation and worry and concern
but life is a playground out of your creation
a playground for your enjoyment and not for your misery
you are here and you understand these words somehow because you have the understanding because the understanding is yours
you already know that which you are looking for you will not be satisfied with anything else
whenever you are not knowing you are that which you are.
