Transcript of the Meditation
Hello, everyone. Lovely to be with you.
So we can invite ourself to sit comfortably and, be available
unconditionally
for the duration of this meeting to approach our experience with a mind of a baby, fresh.
Newborn mind.
Clear. Transparent. Available to whatever appears to you without being interested in any outcome.
Because there is a freedom from the outcome or from any outcome.
Because we don’t live in the future. Outcomes are in time, but we don’t live in time.
So there are no conditions upon our freedom.
Nothing being sought or pursued.
The mind is at ease.
Obviously, there is awareness; hearing these words, noticing sensations within the body; the breath.
But we don’t know what any of this is. And there is no need to know why trouble ourself with activities of the mind when it’s not needed.
There may be a habitual tendency to figure things out in the realm of thinking.
But, for right now, it’s not necessary.
And often in our life, it’s not necessary.
And yet the stream flows in the fall, leaves dance in the wind.
The heart beats.
We exist between all events as well as I could say, within all events, as a way of speaking.
But knowing yourself between an event and another event, there is no movement there. There’s no activity.
This non activity is Life, is the Essence.
Activity is but a tremor of nonactivity, a reverberation of nonactivity.
Your entire life as you perceive it is just a a movement of the stillness, a tiny wave in the vast ocean.
The ocean extends itself between every wave and another wave, but it’s also the substance of every wave.
Your reality is not defined by thoughts and perceptions.
Your life events, they don’t define you.
What we consider to be personal… Just a passing dream.
The understanding about the causeless silence. The absolute silence.
The understanding about your true self, about reality.
Because reality is unopposed. And all movement, all manifestation, arises in opposition.
In your contemplation, you will find a sort of shedding, a dropping, an effortless release of everything that you hold on to, whatever it is.
Less and less to carry. Less and less to protect, to defend, to justify.
Because what we are shedding is the belief in separation.
The belief that there is a personal consciousness, personal entity.
It is always inviting us to the understanding that there is no separation. The more we believe in a personal, limited personal consciousness, the more the suffering, and the more intense is the unhappiness. But we are fortunate in that we are wired for happiness. We love happiness.
And the ultimate happiness is, what in Sanskrit they refer to as the Sahaja Samadhi.
Sahaja is our natural state, where the gap between perception is revealed to be the reality of all perceptions.
The one and only reality. The reality of the world, the reality of infinite mind is one reality.
And all the old habits of seeking and resisting have lost their interest, have perished in that understanding.
It’s an effortless, relaxation.
Every aspect of your experience is merged in the absolute.
The true death, not the death of body-mind, but the death of ignorance.
When the mind becomes absolutely not-knowing.
Cannot be awakened by any argument or by any sense of personhood.
Mind states are perceived.
they have a beginning and an ending. And that which has a beginning, and an ending, is just an impression, a reflection, a mirage of sort.
All mind states are mirages of sort. It makes no sense to seek a mirage to hold on to it.
It’s a habit, arising from ignorance to seek experiences and to grab and grasp and hold on.
It’s all fiction.
We divide the wide open sky; various quadrants, but this division is illusory.
You separate yourself from whatever you separate yourself from and that’s illusion.
What is it to drop the separation? To completely drop the mind.
Referring to the psychological mind; the mind of duality.
Sooner or later, you have to come face to face with the complete letting go. But we don’t need to wait until we are forced to do so.
This life invites us to complete Let Go in the waking state, during this temporary human dream.
What stands in the way?
So we can take a look moment by moment in our life.
To be completely transparent to our experience.
You cannot describe it in words. You don’t need to put words around your experience.
But you know within yourself.
The vastness of not-knowing. We all meet there.
So if there are any questions, make sure you unmute yourself. You can raise your hand for any question.
