so a reminder that we will start this meeting with a guided meditation
and then we can have a discussion
0:31
Sit comfortably and
welcome your experience
just as it appears to you
invite yourself to relax
the body
sort of to sink
into presence
you don’t need to do anything
during this meeting
simply be
you already are this
effortless presence
I mean it is this presence
which is hearing these words
effortlessly
thoughts may appear to you
like
clouds appearing in the sky
hearing
the mystery of
of hearing
the breath
a gentle movement
the heartbeat
everything appearing
effortlessly
within this spaciousness of awareness
there is no one doing anything
there is nothing in our experience
which is not imbued in awareness
every thought every sensation
every perception
is imbued in awareness
without anybody doing anything
in fact
there is no personal self anywhere to
to do anything in this moment of presence
presence itself it’s appearing to itself
as hearing perceiving sensing
because presence and awareness are one
they’re not two
being and knowing
beingness knowingness are one
two sides of the same coin
I am
and I know
that I am
inherent knowingness in being
and the inherent beingness in knowing
you may imagine yourself to be somebody
a man
a woman
a mother
father son
daughter
but this imagination
doesn’t have the power to fefine you
it is just a belief
which is an appearance
a cosmic event
nothing which appears to you defines you
you may imagine yourself to be the body
physical form
a breathing instrument
the human computer
mechanical form
but a mechanical form is not conscious has no consciousness
you may imagine yourself to be flesh and bones
to be somebody existing in time and space
and yet you are the reality which perceives
which perceives thoughts images
Sensations
you are that which is unchanged and unchanging
9:55
and unchangeable is aware presence
consciousness
the reality of being
the reality of the world universes
the reality of Minds
the reality of perceptions and Sensations
although there is a physical form
a certain shape and size
and phenomenal qualities
your true body is the body of your true self
the true body is the body of consciousness
which is non-phenomenal
which is
non-material
I Consciousness
I awareness
I presence
am not an object
a phenomenal form
I am the numenal reality
the reality of being
the one reality
given I am nominal my body
my true body
and my only body
is nominal as well
nothing excluded
so invite yourself to relax
the sensation
the physical
at the sensory level
your sense of bodyness
your sense of me-ness
relax that sensation
and allow yourself
your true self
to be the body which you truly are
it’s borderless body
Beyond the skin of the physical form
beyond the imaginary boundaries
that you have imposed upon yourself
there are no barriers
no walls
no edges
between yourself
and the universe
everything that appears to you
appears as consciousness
so in your life you can explore
being borderless
not by thinking about it
but by sensing your way into it
boundary-less
it’s you and the other
you and the world are not two
explore that
on the feeling level
with the sensory level
experientially
everything arises within you
within you consciousness
the one reality
we are not separate from the hum of the airplane
… from the sound of children playing in the yard.
