Hello everyone.
Very lovely to be with you.
We are one.
We are one as reality as being as consciousness as Love and tenderness.
We are whole and complete lacking nothing.
So we can relax in this possibility which is our reality.
There is no separation in God’s mind.
And this temporary life is about this understanding. The understanding of oneness the understanding of our true being.
And the dissolution of the impression of separation is that understanding.
It is always in this moment. And so in this moment, we surrender. We let go without knowing and without the need to know without an objective without a goal.
Freedom from any destination. Being the destination Without a destination.
So whatever appears to you let it float in the space Give it its complete freedom.
No resistance No barriers No agenda
Be like a sponge Whatever is retained whatever is absorbed is done effortlessly.
You are not separate from the totality You are not separate from the universe.
This aware presence that right now hears these words has no name, no age, no gender no nationality, no history.
Look at children How innocent Open.
How beautiful they are.
Your reality is childlike Transparent Free Joyful The joy of being.
Whichever way the mind formulates it we are all looking for peace and happiness We are looking for the causeless Peace The peace of being.
Which is not the result of any activity or any situation Which is not the fabrication of the mind.
It is not temporary It relies on nothing It stands on its own.
Peace and happiness is not a mind state or a sensation, or a memory.
So when you drop the past and the future and you suspend the conceptual mind When you do not rely on anything you do not disappear.
There is That which remains That which remains is the true you.
Nothing ever happens to reality Nothing ever happens to the true you.
You need to come to complete clarity about that.
The understanding that you, meaning I the reality which perceives right now is non-phenomenal.
And that You this formless self invisible to the senses this aware presence is the answer to your questions.
It is this deep, still, silent presence where the mind is completely silent and still and not knowing.
And yet you know yourself by being yourself.
You know yourself as being the Self.
Sometimes we say the answer is in you but it’s more appropriate to say that the answer is you.
You are the question and the answer.
Because the question arises from the answer. When the answer arises from the same place where the question arose.
Like a mirror reflecting its own image.
You don’t need to get entangled in whatever appears to you. You can let it be.
Without measurement without keeping track of successes and failures Dropping that evaluative measurement aspect of the mind.
Because peace is in presence in stillness, in this effortless awareness.
So over and over return to the Source Which you are. This non-movement, effortlessly.
This relaxation in being soaks into you as you soak into it.
Without any attachment without any goal without forming conceptual structures and stories.
Stories are just for your amusement. They’re not for your understanding.
The revelation of yourself doesn’t come through the front door
It comes through the backdoor When you least expect it.
This freedom from expectation.
And yet we do the work of inquiry contemplation meditation. And living the understanding.
That is the preparation of the house.
We keep looking at the front door but God comes through the backdoor.
And reveals to you that Thou are I. I is thou.
We’ve never been apart.
