Transcript of the Meditation

Hello, everyone. Lovely to be with you.

So simply rest, relax, allow, be.

Relaxing the habitual tendency to try to figure things out. And the habitual tendency to do something.

So for the duration of this meeting, do nothing. Allow your attention to rest in its source.

Without wandering in the past or the future.

So that all activities are suspended in the space of awareness, dissolved in pure being.

Notice whatever appears to you without labeling it. Without memory.

Notice that everything you’re experiencing right now – hearing these words, the sensations within your body – may appear at zero distance from yourself.

You, meaning the reality which is which perceives the knowingness.

The formless awareness, without any reference to the past, without any reference to any narrative about your experience.

Everything which appears to you appears as you in complete intimacy.

There is nothing in your experience which is apart from consciousness, from your reality, from you.

Conceptually, we may conceive of our self as the body, sitting at home, and the world is conceived to be out there.

But when you suspend the conceptual mind, and rest as presence, as awareness, everything is yourself.

There is no in here and out there, experientially.

You are everything. Without being a thing.

The storyline about your life is not the storyline about you. It is the storyline about your body-mind, the family of the body-mind, the body-mind events.

Because you have no narrative, you have no history.

The body-mind has a history, whatever that means; but you don’t.

The body-mind is separate from the mountain or the river, but not really.

The water of the river and the elements of the river are the same motor of this body, the same elements.

To make conceptual distinctions only serves in a limited way, in a practical way, but does not refer to reality.

So feel yourself as this vastness.

Allow the imaginary borders to dissolve. Feel your breath, filling the entire universe.

Notice and feel it, that there is no separation experientially.

Be not knowing. Feel the vastness, the stillness.

You are the entirety, the totality. There’s nothing which is apart from yourself, your true self.

Feel it. Make it your experience, not just words you are hearing. Without referring to the mind, without referring to the past.

You are this vastness. This universal presence.

So if you have any questions, anything that you would like to explore.
