Welcome, everyone. Lovely to see you.
So we invite ourself into presence. Letting go of the past, letting go of whatever we needed to tend to.
And just simply be.
Allowing things to be as they are. Welcoming our experience as it is.
Allowing this silent presence to express itself, to resonate within us. To reveal itself.
Allowing thoughts to be whichever way they appear, without focusing on anything phenomenal without trying to do anything, without trying to fix our experience.
What is it we truly love?
We love the happiness, the peace, the freedom, the inner tranquility.
Well-being. Our well-being and well-being of others.
Everything which appears to us is fleeting, impermanent. Like clouds in the sky, like the weather.
The body is constantly changing… the world, our relationships, the thoughts which appear to us. You’re constantly changing.
Sensations in the body… your mind, constantly changing.
There is the changeless aspect, of our experience. And it is that which we truly love, that which we are, that which does not exist in time and space, that which is aware, and that which is beyond any distinction: your very self, your very being is universal being.
Your very self is God’s self, universal self.
We may enjoy our life experiences, celebrations, hopes and even some disillusionment.
We may have some aspirations in life, some personal goals.
But that which we love is the peace, the desireless state. Desirelessness itself is our love, which is the recognition of our wholeness and our totality and our infinite abundance.
Not as some transient imaginary personal body-minds, personal beings, but our true abundance as being, as consciousness, as wholeness, that which does not know lack or fear.
Body-minds are a passing stream, a symphony.
We flow.
A vehicle.
But there is awareness, non-phenomenal reality, the nominal aspect of your experience; that which is and knows it is. That is the true celebration. That is the love. That is the heart. That is the fulfillment. That is our home. That is that which we seek in everything that we do.
We seek that recognition to recognize ourself, not as some storyline, not as a son, a daughter, some temporary event in eternity, but to recognize ourself as eternity itself.
As the infinite, invisible reality, which does not know birth and death, which shines the light onto the mind, which is the essence of the mind, the essence of your experience.
This invisible presence, this aware presence, beingness that which truly hears these words right now and has always been on board; the one and only reality.
That which is truly hearing right now and truly perceiving right now and knows knows that I am.
That knowingness knows itself. It knows it is real.
And nonobjective, not made out of molecules and atoms of flesh and bones.
When without this knowingness, without awareness being aware of itself, J just a stream of thoughts and sensations and perceptions and emotions.
Insignificant, trying to gain some significance or playing the game of reality.
In fact, it’s old game the universe is playing.
But somehow your interest is in truth, somehow the shell has a crack in the shell, and the light of understanding came upon you.
The light of understanding, the understanding about reality, about the infinite invisible, about the universal cosmic realm.
The light and the darkness. And it is this light which you cannot shake. For good reason, because it’s an eternal light.
And it’s inviting you to roam in God’s garden, to live, explore the entire garden to deepen your understanding, to offer all your belongings, all your possessions.
Because it is in giving that you receive. And it is in opening your hands, this offering, that bounty comes onto you and softening your heart.
Because there are no borders to you, to reality.
The sense of lack and fear are how the me-virus appears to you.
Worries and concerns is how the sense of personhood and separation maintain themselves.
But as awareness, as consciousness, we we soar.
Like the hawks up in the air, barely flapping the wing, being carried, across distances.
Your wings are the wings of consciousness, of awareness, and your body is the body of consciousness and awareness.
You are that bird soaring. Everything comes to you. Everything appears to you without any effort.
You are the wind, the formless wind. Because all forms in essence are formless. And you are all of it.
Everything is revealed to you in the eternal now, the heart of silence, the shining light of presence, of awareness.
We are one in truth, one in reality.
So we live as best we can; honoring our understanding about reality, about being.
Like, a child in the crowd for a while, it needs to hold on to mother’s hand. At some point, it can let go for a few minutes and then return to make sure mom’s hand is still there, and it is.
It does it again and again. realize that mother’s hand is always there, and it starts roaming in the crowd, knowing within itself that mother’s hand is always there.
Inner trust, because every time we check, I, awareness, this formless reality is there.
The reality which perceives, not some concept. We can go directly to it.
Yes, I am, and I know that I am. I perceive, and I know I perceive.
Always available to us! It is our reality. There is only one reality.
Call it by any name. It calls itself by all names and by no name.
It knows itself as everything, and no-thing.
The conceiver, the creator, and the perceiver in one.
