So we’re just gonna do a brief meditation
a guided meditation
and then you’re welcome to share whatever questions you may have
is the sound good
is it
yes
okay thank you Holger
so if you can just sit comfortably and turn your attention inward
if you want close your eyes and come to close your eyes
or just simply rest as you as you are
and welcome
welcome the stillness
welcome
welcome presence
welcome the peace
which is always available to us
so that the mind
meaning thoughts and perceptions
can rest
you don’t need to fix anything
there’s no goal no objective
simply a fresh moment of presence
every moment every breath
is a brand new moment
a brand new breath
never experienced before
there is in fact no real before no real after
invite the peace to extend
throughout your entire experience
in presence
in being
there is no time
there are no problems no issues
everything is surrendered in presence
no need to hold on to anything
so that you are transparent
complete availability
to the universal expression
everything that appears to you is
an expression of universal consciousness
the cosmic reality
you are this transparent presence
being awareness is sufficient unto itself
it does not need to be limited by the mind
it is not possible for anything
any thought any experience
to limit consciousness
to limit your reality
08:15
it is of no use to
look in the limitation of the mind
for any information about yourself
consciousness is informed
by its very being
by its own fact
by its own reality
you can invite the mind to complete relaxation
then you are childlike
pristine
uncluttered
uncluttered by the belief that
you can be cluttered
to be not knowing
is this complete disposability
this complete availability
it is the peace
in life you will meet many
challenges to the me
as soon as you adopt
a persona
as soon as you identify
as a man
as a person
you will immediately experience the sense of separation
and the world will appeal to you as challenging
difficult
the mind becomes embroiled
in various strategies
to protect
to defend an imaginary you
but in this moment
the reality of i
whatever it is that hears these words
the reality of i is blatant
by this aware presence
AM I
AM
not something or somebody
that pure amness
and life is this pure amness
in movement
dancing
unopposed
14:55
so in meeting challenges in life
the key question is
what is it that is
i am assuming myself to be
what am i assuming myself to be
what am i assuming the other to be
or what is the other
what is the reality of the other
is there a separate other in fact
somebody to blame
somebody to project
our emotions
onto
what is the evidence that separation is real
and to notice how
this resistance
this sense of separation
appears in the body
the body a wide open field of exploration
is it possible to be still
to notice
to observe in a
dispassionate way
not knowing
and no need to know
the depth of presence
the fullness
the abundance
of presence
a new life unfolds in this presence and
does not veil presence
so rather than being preoccupied
with the content of mind
rather than being preoccupied with the content of
emotions and events in the world
can we become familiar with
pure presence
not avoiding anything
but inviting the
recognition of presence awareness
awareness
recognizing itself
resting as this recognition
because the recognition of awareness is the recognition of freedom
the recognition of love
the recognition of beauty
the recognition of peace
as this recognition becomes our familiar home
we become less and less disturbed by the world
less and less disturbed by the mind
so that the world and the mind become
a sort of coloring
the coloring of presence
but not a veiling
