okay welcome everybody lovely to see you all hello jeff holger nathan hello alan hi mike hello frank george hey george richard patrick welcome
1:22 so you can welcome the stillness which is this effortless aware presence welcoming itself
nothing that you need to do
in this vast open and borderless
perceiving the space
there are no separate entities
there is no past no history no form no structure in the reality of our experience which is this transparent presence
so i recognize myself as this transparency
the eternity of being
a thought may appear to you as it appears it dissolves in the space in the presence out of which and in which it appears
like this sound this hearing dissolves in the same space out of which and in which it appears
everything that is visible to the senses every mind structure is empty in essence
as it appears it disappears in the complete absence of time
this is what we call life this ongoing appearance and disappearance in the eternity of presence
this is what we call mind which is this ongoing appearance and disappearance of perceptions within aware presence
no duration
that which neither appears nor disappears is unstirred unmoved
transparent eye
which is the essence the heart the reality of all experiences
the substance of the emptiness is full
which we refer to as the light of being or the light of awareness
self-knowing and all knowing
there is only one knowingness which knows itself as i
10:17 first the journey starts with i am a person i am somebody
a character that exists in time and space seeking, resisting, fretting, searching,
then we come to the understanding that this character which i take myself to be is fiction an empty vessel
and that the true vessel is consciousness
but there is still a vessel
an empty vessel but still a vessel
the inner and the outer
and finally we come to the understanding
that this vessel is borderless
formless, shapeless, edgeless
the one and only reality
everything returns to his natural order
so go to the sensation of your body whichever way this sense of yourself appears at the feeling level
and like you release a bird by opening your hand and allowing the bird to fly away
giving it its freedom
open your hands and allow that sense of yourself but the feeling level whichever way it’s appearing allow it to fly away
release it
from its imaginary boundaries
so that you no longer are an empty vessel
but the fullness the wholeness of being in the totality
