Welcome everyone.
Lovely to see you, to be together.
So just to remind you that this meeting will start with a guided meditation, and then we can have questions and conversation.
So if we could, in this moment, invite ourself to be without the past.
A gentle invitation. No effort. Not trying to get anywhere or get it right.
Because right now, in this moment, the past is not needed.
There is nothing that you need to do.
So we welcome this non-doing, which is always there as a background of our activity.
But right now, in the foreground, as a way of speaking, we just let go.
No identity. It’s not needed right now.
Notice how effortlessly thoughts appear to you. They appear out of out of what?
There isn’t any individual or separate entity that is choosing the thoughts.
And yet thoughts appear. Sensations appear, hearing in this moment.
To be with the flow.
There is no separation anywhere. Everything you experience, every sensation, you experience it in complete intimacy, which is non duality.
You and that which you perceive, that which you experience, are not two.
But that which you experience appears and disappears, you remain. Take a look.
The memory appears to you an image.
Maybe the recollection that dissolves as it appears.
Where did it come from? Where did it go?
It is said that everything which appears and disappears arises from that which does not.
A thought does not arise out of another thought or out of a sensation.
And yet perception is undeniable.
What is the perceiving aspect? It is obviously you which perceives. What is that? Is that something that you can know with your mind? Is that something which appears to you?
Are you an appearance? And if so, what perceives it?
That which perceives, whatever that is, the perceiving aspect is undeniable.
Should we refer to it as awareness?
Often overlooked when we are engrossed by the senses.
But it is the undeniable aspect of your experience, that I am aware, irrespective of what appears on the screen.
I am and I am aware. And I know I am aware.
See your very self effortlessly.
Awareness is aware, and it knows it is aware.
But from the mind’s perspective, there is an addiction to goodies.
Being awareness from the mind’s perspective, the habits, the addictions.
You can’t squeeze too much juice out of that. But even addictions, mind habits require awareness.
What is the point of any sweet, pleasurable experience in the absence of awareness? What would it be?
We are habituated to perceive ourself as a separate entity.
The world is out there. The mind is in here.
I’m in the world trying to move towards the next step.
And oftentimes it seems to be meaningless. Because it is, if our understanding is focused on that which is impermanent.
There’s nothing that you can grasp and take along with you.
We imagine the world is out there, and as a result, we perceive a world out there. But, in fact, we never truly perceive a world out there. It’s a belief structure.
When you take a look at your experience, there’s no out there. There may be the belief, or the concept of out there, but experientially, without carrying the past and all belief structures, in this moment of no time, in the now, the eternal now.
Time and space collapse.
They collapse in awareness. The shining light of awareness.
And in this collapse, the mind, which is constantly resisting and seeking, dissolves in presence.
Which is peace, effortless, causeless peace.
So do we need to return to the me story? Do we? What’s gonna happen to me? What did they do to me?
Is there a valid reason to leave the peace of being seemingly, because in fact we never leave that which we are.
And yet, when we go back to the habitual sense of separation, the me stories, believing ourselves to be a mortal entity.
It’s unhappy. Check it out.
But when you get a peek into the causeless joy, the causeless peace and freedom, it’s a precious gift. A direct message from God, speaking in religious terms.
Why discard such a message and return to making the mind and the body and the world your guide, seeking mind states.
They’re all fleeting. Seeking experiences, they’re fleeting as well.
Contemplate that there is nothing that is outside of yourself, outside of consciousness, outside of being, outside of reality.
Take a look at your experience.
Thoughts appear within awareness, within you, to you.
They arise intimately arise at zero distance from you.
There’s no separation. It’s only one reality.
You know that deep down in your heart, in your inner wisdom, where the light shines.
Everything that you perceive, that you experience, refers to that reality. Is a an expression a manifestation of that one reality, which is formless.
Because, that which has no opposite is not limited by form. That which has no beginning and ending is not limited by time and space. And what is it?
What is that you experience this moment, in this moment? What is it that is unborn? It’s for you to find out.
It’s not, you’re not deprived from grace.
You are that, and That does not refer to things.
It refers to the Totality. So no words to truly express that which is absolute.
So we speak metaphorically.
So we live without holding on. We do not take a particular stand or position.
And you live moment by moment without defining yourself in any way. Without carrying an image or story about yourself and others. To be fresh, childlike, ebullient.
To be no one and nobody it is to be everyone and everybody, because in being no one you’re open, completely open.
There are no personal problems in this openness, in this borderless presence.
Personal problems require a me, a story, a history, some personal belief structure, personal identity.
Simply be, which is effortless, effortless being.
So if you have any questions, anything you would like to explore, please make sure to unmute yourself.
And you can also raise your hand or there’s an icon, the React icon in the bottom of the screen, where you can also raise your hand.
