hello george and holger hello shai
ola diana como estas and tara
nice to to be with you
so we will start this meeting with a brief guided meditation and then we can have a discussion
so you are welcome to if you want to close your eyes or simply
turn your attention inwardly
and welcome your experience
whichever way it is appearing to you
the sensations in your body the heart beat
the sensation of the breath
you don’t need to do anything
no need to fix anything or
seek anything right now
whatever thoughts appear
simply be
notice that you are the reality that hears these words
without any effort
notice that you are aware
4:31 and that awareness is real
notice that whatever you perceive
such as this song of the birds
or the sensations in the body they keep changing
but awareness presence
i do not
change
in your experience there is awareness
which is changeless
and there is that which appears and disappears
sensations in the body thoughts images memories feelings
and on the other hand awareness
you are this aware presence in this moment taking on the form of hearing these words
you are this transparent aware presence in this moment taking the sensation of breathing
you are this effortless transparent presence in this moment taking on the form of an image a image of a man a woman
you are shiva
taking on the form of shakti
like the ocean taking on the form of waves or water taking on the form of waves
or rain
10:01 raindrops
although shiva takes on the form of infinite minds and infinite worlds and infinite sensations
it remains transparent it remains complete it remains untouched
unstained
undisturbed
shiva is never seeking anything
shiva is not trying to improve anything
because it is the creator and the perceiver
the source
when you imagine yourself to be a woman a man a person then you experience the sense of limitation the worry and the concern
you imagine yourself to be a human being rather than the reality of consciousness
the reality of being
when you reduce yourself from universal being to personal human being you feel and you experience yourself to be a mortal body-mind
the sense of lack and fear of death and worry about the future
and you try to find peace and freedom for the body mind for the imaginary person that you believe yourself to be
but it’s not possible to find peace and happiness for an imaginary character
and so you experience disappointment
depression
powerlessness
meaninglessness
15:15 but whenever you let go of the belief that you are a person a man a woman
then order is restored
the ocean is not a wave
you are not a limited personal self
consciousness is your reality
and consciousness has no borders
and no location
consciousness is not located in your brain or behind your eyes
there is no location
which means freedom
consciousness awareness your experience right now of awareness
it’s not it’s not a body
it’s not a brain or
we believe that consciousness is made out of molecules and atoms it’s made out of matter or consciousness is made out of thoughts and mind
these are just beliefs without any foundation
if you go directly to your experience right now the reality that perceives this reality is not male or female
reality that hears these words is not sitting on a chair or on a couch
go to your experience of awareness
because awareness is your experience is not a belief i am aware i perceive
i consciousness whatever it is you use the word consciousness i
20:01 perceive not i female body or a male body
i is this presence right now it’s not a story not a history of my past and my future what happened to me when i was 12 years old
i is not in time
not in the past and in the future
i is the eternity of being
this entire contemplation and inquiry about truth
about reality is the inquiry into causeless peace freedom and happiness joy
it’s not an academic study
we know peace we know love
we know freedom
not conceptually but experientially
deep down in our heart
we know our true self
let it let it be allow it allow it to rise to the surface
