Hello everyone.
We welcome our totality This open, effortless awareness which is always welcoming.
Creating and perceiving simultaneously.
We are this effortless presence.
We know ourselves as I Before knowing ourselves as I am somebody.
So we welcome ourselves as this beingness Free from the impression of past and future.
Because the past and the future appear to you And whatever appears to you does not affect you does not define you except when you want it to do so.
But for right now we welcome ourselves without any definition Without imagination without mentation.
Simply being-not knowing. This not knowingness knows itself to be it knows itself as peace the peace of being.
Everything which appears to you is a flow dream like it has no significance of its own outside of pointing you to yourself the reality which is and which perceives.
Reality the changeless aspect of your experience is consciousness, awareness.
The formless, invisible knowingness the intelligence The only true doer, thinker, decider is you, this consciousness, this awareness.
Which is completely free because freedom belongs to consciousness.
And in its freedom it manifests as various expressions as various perceptions as various thoughts sensations memories ideas.
And it plays the creative game in so many different ways. It plays a game of veiling itself from itself Believing itself to exist in time and space.
Existence is its creation but it is not its reality Your reality is not the narrative that you imagine.
Your reality is not personal feelings and personal mind states.
As you get glimpses glimpses of understanding about your reality as consciousness your formless self you find yourself less and less subject to personal thoughts and beliefs free from the sense of lack free from the various negative emotions.
So rather than referring to yourself as a person, a mother, a father, a man, a woman know yourself as this borderless awareness impersonal universal.
You perceive bodily sensations the breath you perceive thoughts, images.
You are the perceiver decider in chief.
There is nothing which is separate from yourself So there is nothing at stake.
You are meant to know yourself. Not as a personal entity not as a bundle of memories and sensations but to know yourself directly.
As the reality the formless beingness invisible to the senses
borderless, universal.
You look out there for your happiness in various situations and using various means while all along you are that freedom You are the creator and perceiver You are the freedom you seek.
The body mind appears to you but you are not the body mind which you perceive.
You are the light of awareness within shining throughout the kingdom.
You shine because it is that which you are the shining light of consciousness.
There’s nothing which you need to do in order to be that which you are.
And yet whenever you veil yourself via the mind, via beliefs, and thoughts you veil yourself from yourself But not really.
When you engage in your creation as a personal self you experience the sense of impending doom the sense of lack worries, and concerns which are unhappy.
Deep down you’re not interested in unhappiness although you do play the game of unhappiness deep down you’re not interested.
You are not interested in the remaining trapped in the cocoon you are the butterfly.
The only reality there is Everything you perceive is yourself.
One self.
Do not make a big deal out of what appears to you what appears in your body what appears in your mind.
Let it be. There’s no issue from the perspective of reality from the perspective of consciousness there are no issues.
That understanding is available to you, it is yours.
