hello everyone lovely to be with you hello holger nathan charlie george mina markon
so we get together we meet as presence
wherever we are whatever we do whatever’s going on whatever is happening
it is presence beingness consciousness taking on this form
like in this moment it is presence beingness taking on the form of this conversation this perception this sensation
it’s always there unmoving
the reality of presence
to recognize oneself
this is simply the recognition of presence
it is a presence itself that recognizes recognizes itself
awareness itself that recognizes itself
that’s what peace is peace is this recognition of beings being knowingly itself
no there is no concern nothing lacking nothing that
we need to attain we need to fix life unfolding as
this presence presence unfolding as life
what we call life so in this moment what what is life
isn’t it this a wholeness this totality this completeness this beingness
including the sounds and the sensations
the meaning
nothing excluded right
wherever you are with this presence whatever
you’re doing it is presence
but whenever you’re looking for yourself then it’s sort of a foolish way in which presence is appearing
because you don’t need to look for yourself you already are you you are this transparent presence
you don’t need to improve yourself because whatever you’re improving it’s a falsehood because in presence there is there is no time
and improvement is in time improvement is in time
whatever unfolds in time is just a stream of images
which is unfolding in presence
but they’re not two the images unfolding presence itself are one
what is lacking in presence
somehow something says um there is more maybe there is more more for for me
maybe there is something that this me can
get something special something valuable for me
and as soon as we buy this falsehood we engage in seeking and worrying and searching for something for whom
you see for whom for somebody somebody who exists in time
somebody who is born and is living in time
but you don’t live in time and time appears to you
events thoughts memories appear to you but you don’t exist in time
so whatever whatever you seek for for yourself is
just an imaginary an illusion and
it engages you in all sorts of concerns
the mind gets stirred up the feelings the emotions get triggered
and then we are struggling struggling with with the feelings and the emotions
well all along here we are perfect as we are everything is perfect as it is
it already is it’s already on board
there is no need to argue with the sunshine or with the rain
no need to argue with the gravity with the galactic fields
to rest to invite yourself invite the entire realm of your experience to rest at the core
the no movement at the core there is activity at the surface at the periphery but the stillness silence the peace at the core of being
so that the activities of the world and the body and the mind
don’t disturb being don’t disturb reality
because reality is not phenomenal it’s not disturbable
there is no separate personal self anywhere
it’s one seamless reality one
the seamless field of being
of movement sensations and flow and stillness
you notice the breath
which is made out of listening
sensations within the body
made out of stillness
this wide open aware
space
the knowing space
just made out of knowingness
it knows it is
and it knows that it knows
you are not a local entity
you are not a limited
organism
16:54 there’s no
locality or a limitation to awareness
boundless fullness
being
so that you and the infinity are one
in every way
this awake aware infinity
which has no beginning no ending
to join the freedom of being
in the peace
the love
the beauty
