hello everyone lovely to see you all whole girl
gg hello lisa
welcome ron hey frank george hi george and alan
nice to see you be with you
so just a reminder that
you’re welcome to post whatever questions you want to share and explore
i’ll start with just a brief guided meditation
and then you’re welcome to explore whatever questions you want to explore
00:50 so um to start with uh just uh welcome
yourself welcome your experience
without a need to do anything without the need to fix anything
or get somewhere
simply being is sufficient we have a habit of
wanting to get something wanting to get somewhere or wanting to achieve something and
in a way it’s understandable in the world
obstacles to overcome but there’s also the possibility of just for now
during this this gathering here to rest as being an explore
resting as being
welcome that and acknowledge to acknowledge
the causeless beingness the causeless peace of being
which requires no effort nothing nothing to do no no need to separate yourself from your experience
whatever is happening it’s okay for now
now the the breath
maybe the sensation of your feet on the ground
the sound of uh of this voice and uh maybe the sound of traffic or the birds singing
whatever is arising
to experience the possibility of peace in this moment
not a peace that is due to any particular reason
and also to to welcome the the peace in the midst of this conversation in the midst of this experience
it’s much easier to rest without having to define yourself in any way
it’s as if we are not knowing just being
without being defined as
a man a woman son daughter whatever whichever way
we define ourselves via the mind
and it’s okay to define our self uh in certain situations when you’re a teacher you have students here you define yourself as a teacher or
if you are a mechanic you define yourself as a mechanic to your clients
but for now you don’t need to define yourself in any way
and we’re not seeking any experience
it’s much simpler this way not to
to take a break from seeking just it’s a sort of relief
and it’s okay to to be without seeking
without also defending an image or trying to become somebody special or or achieve a special state
it is much simpler to be free from all of that
so here in this sort of meditation we get a little taste of that
being in a way without a purpose and to experience the the peace of that the tranquility the equanimity
when we are not projecting not defending not defined not defined
in any way
11:20 it’s so beautiful when we relate without the shields
without the veils
12:20 it is effortless
presence awareness
being
it’s effortless
and it’s not trying to become special
