Dear Jeff, please let me know if this works better (on your Android phone):
Hello, everyone.
So welcome yourself
without knowing
what you are welcoming.
Just an open welcoming.
An availability.
A transparency
to whatever appears
or does not appear.
We don’t know.
To be this not-knowingness,
which is at the heart of being
before the mind
divides and structures
experience.
It’s an open field
of awareness.
So welcome yourself
as that effortlessness.
No need to interfere.
Because there is that
which does not move.
Which is not subject
to world events,
not subject to
various conditions
in the body or the mind.
When the mind is completely still,
you do not cease to be.
You are that
to which
thoughts appear.
This formless awareness.
That which perceives.
It is not a thing.
And yet
all things appear
within awareness
to awareness.
Like a current within the ocean.
There is nothing which is separate,
although
to separate our experience conceptually
has its place and its function.
This conceptual separation
does not refer to any real
separation.
All things refer to
the one and only;
to their wholeness,
to their totality.
In your direct experience,
that which never wavers,
that which is constant.
What is it?
It is not the color of your hair
or the shape of your body
or the content of your mind,
or the view outside of your window.
What is it that is?
Changeless in your experience
in this moment.
That to which everything refers,
that without which nothing is.
Your imagination is not stable.
Your mind, your body…
an ongoing flow
within the universal field.
The nothingness of reality
is also its everythingness.
Everything refers to no-thing,
not a thing.
The concept mountain
refers to mind,
and mind refers
to consciousness,
which is not a mountain.
Things refer to no-thing.
And in your experience,
what is it
that is not a thing?
The reality of being – awareness.
The value of things is temporary.
The value of the key of your car
is temporary to get the car started,
the engine.
The value of your car is temporary
to get you to your destination,
the marketplace.
The value of the marketplace is temporary.
It serves you to do your shopping.
The value of the shopping is temporary
to feed your body and
keeping the body alive.
The value of keeping the body alive
is temporary.
What is the value?
What is it that matters?
You need to figure it out.
If you are seeking experiences,
they don’t matter.
Those experiences refer to your mind.
Your mind refers to your body,
and your body is temporary.
What matters?
Is there anything apart
from anything else,
in fact, in truth?
Blue is different from green,
different from red,
different from yellow.
But only in appearance.
In essence, they are vibration.
When vibration
refers to
the void vibrating,
there isn’t anything vibrating.
It’s a mind impression.
Your mind,
your thoughts,
your experience
seemingly calling you outwards
is calling you inwards.
To come to understanding
about that which is
and cannot not be.
The formless reality
which right now perceives
is and knows it is.
You can dance in your mind,
but you cannot dance
around the truth,
around reality.
Your conceptual mind
is just data within the black box.
Your sensory field,
your emotions,
your narratives,
your beliefs,
your feelings,
just bytes
within the black box.
Electrical charges.
Which have no reality
of their own.
What makes them dance?
What makes you dance?
What is your true name?
Without going to the past,
without going to a millisecond away from now,
what is your true name?
What is your true self?
What is it that is true
in this moment
without using your mind
to travel through
the libraries of antiquity.
I am is
indivisible wholeness,
oneness.
The mind with its infinite complexity,
diversity,
wealth of information and data.
The zillions and zillions
of bits of information,
they refer to the I am.
So if you have any questions,
anything that you would like to explore,
you’re welcome to unmute yourself
and raise your hand.
So any questions?
