So to start with it
if you would sit comfortably
you’re welcome to either
close your eyes or turn your gaze inwardly
and welcome
welcome yourself
welcome your experience
without any expectation
without any conditions
without any judgments
simply be this welcoming presence
whatever Sensations appear to you
whatever thoughts
perceptions appear to you
simply be
it is so lovely to just be rest restful
resting presence
without any need to know what you are
without no need to figure anything out
presence is peace
Universal peace
that we know as simply being
not being somebody
not being
someone good or bad
but the simplicity
of being
to be effortless being
which is not trying to improve itself
or to solve any problem
there is no separation in presence
there is no separation in being
there is no me and you
it’s just peace and love and tranquility
no effort
it is awareness
the reality which hears these words
effortlessly
5:00
is this presence
this being
beingness
which we are
we’ve always been
it is within this effortless presence
that sounds appear
thoughts appear
bodily Sensations appear
within this transparent presence
and this presence
this awareness is
always there
does not come and go
in spite of appearances appear and disappear
presence
being
neither appears nor disappears
which we refer to I am
this amness knows it is
I am and
I know that I am
they go hand in hand
there is no disturbance in the ocean
it is the mind that may say
this is disturbing or that is disturbing
but presence awareness is not disturbed and not disturbable
it is only upon identifying yourself
meaning
only upon identifying awareness
as being a separate limited entity
only upon believing yourself to be a body mind
will you experience the sense of limitation
as a bodily sensation
as a Feeling
you will experience the sense of lack
the fear of ending
as feelings and thoughts
bodily Sensations
but that which perceives the bodily sensation
is not a sensation
that which perceives thunder
is not the thunder
it’s pure tranquil aware presence
9:59
which perceives feelings and emotions
and the feelings and emotions are the result of your identification
identifying yourself as a woman
mother
a father
a particular Body Mind
identifying yourself with certain images
it is awareness Consciousness
which is identifying itself
you consciousness
you identify yourself
as a limited form
when you experience disturbance
immediately
as soon as you identify yourself
as somebody you will experience yourself existing
as a limited entity
in time and space
with personal worries and
personal concerns and hopes and regrets
the mind becomes confused
by the belief that it is somebody
it struggles internally
struggles with itself
but this struggle is just
a body mind impression
dreamlike
which has nothing to do with you
because you are not an entity
in spite of the body having particular characteristics
in particular limitations
these characteristics and limitations
do not apply to you
so it is you as consciousness
creates a sense of limitation
creates inner demons and inner angels
all of which are fiction
the illusion occurring in the mind
these inner battles of identity
they’re like waves in the ocean
like clouds in the sky
the ocean is unaffected
except when you identify yourself
with particular waves
then you experience the impression
that something is happening to you
you the ocean
we start to experience worries and concerns
about that which you imagine yourself to be
but that which you imagine yourself to be
is not that which you are
no matter what you imagine yourself to be
you don’t need it
you don’t need to know what you are
it is sufficient
to be clear that I am
I know that I am
I being
the reality which perceives
not I being something which you believe yourself to be
so you can invite yourself to remain unknowing to
be Unknowing
to be not knowing of that which you are
and completely clear that I am
I being reality
being
and to live as best as you can
according to this new understanding.
