Hello, everyone.

Lovely to see you
to be with you,
and,
to recognize being;
this effortless
presence
which requires nothing.

Nothing that you need to do
to be,
to become,
to fix.

Because all of that requires time.
Right?

And if you think about it,
time is just in your imagination.

Time in your imagination
appears in the timeless.

So welcome yourself
as the eternal.

The formless.

Images may appear.
Sensations may appear.

Like,
the mist in the early morning
or clouds appearing in the space.

Not,
not to make a personal problem.

That’s the invitation.
Not to make a personal story
or introduce somebody,
a historical self,
some imaginary me and deity
shifting
the mind.

It’s not necessary.
It’s unhappy,
and it’s too much to deal with.
You don’t need to.

In this moment.
Is there somebody
outside of the mind,
memories
and thoughts,
and stories?

What is this somebody?
What is this me
that you refer to over and over?

What if you are completely transparent
to whatever appears to you?
Because you are transparent.

Awareness is formless,
borderless,
edgeless.

What’s appear?
What’s the problem
if we don’t choose
to make a problem?

We’re so habituated to
add a me,
a personal fictitious entity.
We play the game
of trying to heal this entity,
to improve this entity,
to enlighten this entity.
But what is this entity?
This me-story,
this bundle of images
and accumulated stories
and beliefs.
What are they
if not mind activity?

And the body
that we give so much importance
to the body.
Is it not also a bundle of activities
that we make a story about
make a story about our body,
our health,
our wealth.

In this moment,
where and what are all these stories?
What is the body in this moment?
If you don’t go to the past
and if you don’t go to history,
if you don’t go to stories,
what is the body in this moment?

The vast mystery.

Beyond words.

Notice the breath,
whatever sensations
are appearing to you
in the body space.

Be still.
Listen.

Cannot pin anything down,
can you?

Except if you choose
to make a story,
some kind of fiction.

When you are not battling anything,
when you are completely still
and quiet
and available
and open
effortlessly.
What requires healing?

Don’t you need to go to the past.
Don’t you need to go
to some sort of personal story
in order to heal it,
what is that?

What is it that you are healing?

Somehow,
in our belief structure
about ourself,
about the world,
we believe that
perfect order
is something
that is designed by the mind.

I perceive problems
and the mind engages
in trying to fix them.

Because when you live in a bubble,
the me-bubble about
myself,
my culture,
my race,
my tribe,
my family,
my belief systems and
belief structures.

You do not see.
You’re blinded
by the the veils of your mind.

It sounds so dramatic.
It’s so simple.

Just beliefs,
thoughts, and
images and
sensations
appearing on the screen of awareness
moment by moment,
in this moment.

This is… what is it?

We sink deeper and deeper
into simple being in this moment.
Complete openness.
Complete openness
to the singing of the birds,
to the breath,
to the thought which may be appearing,
the sensation of your feet on the ground.
It is all beyond words,
beyond mind.

But there is no narrative.
No personal narrative.

Your journey towards God,
towards truth,
is a journey where
you find yourself
with less and less.

It’s not a journey of accumulation.
It’s a path of dissolution.

But don’t forget,
nothing which is real
cannot be unreal,
cannot not be.

Let go of only that
which is not real.
Dissolve
in the peace,
in the peace of being.

How how beautiful
a mother opens her arms
to embrace her child.

Only going to nothing
just complete open arms
and the child running.

To die in the embrace,
to dissolve in the embrace.

In that embrace
all personal desires are fulfilled.

It is this openness
to be not knowing.

Not to adopt
an adversarial stand
against anything.

It’s always in the moment
that we can say:
oh, no, that’s too bitter in the moment.

Everything is revealed to us in the moment.
And then it’s a choiceless choice:

No to bitterness.
No to unhappiness in the moment.

So we we are babylike, childlike.
There is an innocence
by freshness,
child like quality is sweet.
Not grasping,
not defending.

Thoughts,
perception,
sensations
are just the way the ocean moves.

No problems.

The me belief is also
how the ocean moves
unhappily.

And the understanding
the understanding about,
about peace,
about love,
about the illusory me.

That’s also how the ocean moves
in a liberating fashion.

That’s the true healing.

It’s the understanding,
which is a universal understanding.
There is no person
who understands.
Understanding is grace,
and grace is always on board.
There’s no individual entity
who is graced and another who is not.
That’s just mind stuff, stories.

We all love Love.

In whatever we do.

We are seeking the non dual experience,
which is the experience of
our true nature,
our innate being.

So if you have any questions,
please make sure to unmute your mic.

Turn on your video,
if you’d like.

Any questions?
