Hello everyone.

Lovely to be with you,
to be together as one.

So if we can
welcome ourself
in this moment,
not in time.

A sort of a complete letting go
of the past
for the duration of this meeting
to allow ourself
to be guided.

From the self to the self,
from being to being,
this effortless presence.

Which is effortlessly aware,
which is that which is
which refers to itself as I.

There is only one reality,
which is the experience of peace,
this causeless
peace of being,
not being somebody.

I is this universal beingness.
Undefined by thoughts,
undefined by history
or memory
or sensations.

As the river flows,
there are no separate droplets of water.
Just one flow,
one river,
one stream.

A movement within the stillness.

Mind impressions
within the silence.

We are that silence,
aware,
silent presence.

It takes on the form of activities
without moving.

Without being affected;
like in your night dreams.
There are all sorts of
dream activities
while you are
the restful dreamer.

It is this restfulness
which you are,
this spaciousness,
this formlessness.

It is that which perceives.
It is that which is
the experiencer of all experiences.

There is a tendency
to imagine yourself
to be a personal doer
with a personal will.

It’s just a mind impression,
an old belief
that has calcified itself
in our psyche.

A game of sort.
There’s nothing at stake.

And it is from that
impression of a personal doer
that we experience
the sense of lack
and needing and seeking,
desiring as a personal entity.

But in this moment of
quiet and stillness,
can we let it all go?
Let it be?

Without engagement,
this loving openness,
embrace
that has no personal agenda,
that is not hoping
and wishing
and expecting.

It is in the personal narrative,
this imaginary personal narrative
that includes others,
some others,
so called others,
that we experience anguish,
a time despair.

The sense of separation.

More like clouds appear
in the wide open sky,
maybe with the shape of
dragons and ghosts.

The sky is unmoved
and unmoving,
infinite stillness,
and one could say
infinite patience,
presence.

Can we explore and
invite ourselves to be
in this wide open sky.

Rather than identifying
with a particular cloud.

To allow the river to flow,
to recognize this me-story
refers to
some imaginary belief
that I am a man or a woman.

But the elephant in the room is I.
This effortless awareness.
The reality which perceives
that which is and knows it is;
that is not an object.

A gray mass in the brain,
the skull.

The call for awakening
is not a call coming to your person.

It is the self
from the self
to the self.

Choosing in this moment
to lift the veils
behind which the imaginary person
is revealed to be completely absent.

But you,
as this aware presence,
that which knows I am,
that is;
that which is cannot not be.

To be completely free
of personal desire,
and to celebrate
this human realm
of world-body-mind.

The celebration arises
from the understanding
and not from the mind.

So if you have any questions,
anything you would like to discuss,
you’re welcome to raise your hand
and, of course,
turn on your videos if you don’t mind
as I like to see you.

So any questions?
