Dear Jeff, please let me know if this works better (on your Android phone):
Hello, everyone.
Welcome.
So if we can relax into being,
invite ourself
to rest
for the duration of this meeting to
let things be.
To be available.
No need to interpret,
and no need to
figure things out
in your mind
to just allow the
the understanding
or not
allow whatever
without knowing
what we are allowing,
without knowing what we are,
why not?
To be without being somebody.
No stories.
No mental trips,
just for now.
To connect with the mystery,
the mystery of being,
which we are,
which everything is.
There is no separation,
in fact,
between what we are
and what it is
and what this is
or that is.
It’s one one isness.
Yes.
There are images that may appear
on the screen,
memories,
identification maybe.
So we invite ourself
not to try to fix it,
not to get involved in it,
simply to allow.
Because it’s already manifesting.
Whatever is manifesting,
it’s right there.
Appears and disappears
on the screen of consciousness.
There seems to be continuity.
Could it be that this
continuity is a continuity
of awareness,
of presence,
the continuity of being,
not so much the continuity
of being somebody.
There is the purity of presence.
Notice
the timelessness of being.
This moment,
the purity of this moment,
there is no past and no future.
Not that there is any problem
with the past and the future.
It’s just that in presence,
time collapses;
pure awareness.
There is freedom
from the past and the future.
Not that there is anybody
trying to be free.
There isn’t.
Simply noticing
this transparent presence,
which is aware,
alive,
awake,
free,
joyfully free
in a deep sense of it.
And it’s not an attempt
at denying manifestation.
We perceive thoughts
and sensations
and stories, me-narratives.
We do.
But do we need to define ourself?
Do we need to identify?
Maybe we don’t.
The impression of time,
thoughts,
images of the past,
thoughts about the future.
Everything is unfolding
in the timeless presence.
There is no issue
with the way
consciousness manifests.
In the human dimension,
a dimension
among infinite others,
one aspect of creation.
But not to define
that which is,
that which creates,
that which knows it is.
Via the mind,
via that
which is created
and perceived.
To play the game
without being trapped in the game,
caught in the game,
not to be defined internally,
deeply.
Because, yes,
on the surface,
there are limitations;
limitations to the body,
various limitations in the world,
the mind.
But that’s the surface.
Deep within…
what are we?
What is it that is absolute?
Absolutely.
Being established in the timeless,
to keep understanding about
the illusion of time.
We can play the game
of time
with a giggle in the heart,
giggling heart.
Yes.
The impression of personal problems
goes hand in hand
with the impression
of being in time,
of existing in time.
The impression
that something is happening to you
appears and arises
in impersonal borderless awareness.
When you take a look,
you find that there isn’t,
in fact, a personal self,
a personal you.
It’s just a flow,
a stream of movement,
activities,
thoughts,
sensations,
perceptions
appearing in the
eternity of nowness,
eternity of being.
This awareness has no
on and off switch.
It’s always on.
Absolute,
impersonal,
does not belong to a body-mind entity.
It’s that which we all are as one.
This one reality that is absolute,
that we are.
The Garden of Eden.
And it is in this garden
that we are playing the game of life.
How to play a sweet, gentle game.
The recognition of this one reality
that we are that.
We are the garden of Eden.
Crucial understanding,
a crucial realization
that can guide
and sweeten
the waking dream.
And it’s okay.
We forget.
We forget our oneness.
And then we recollect.
There’s really, really
nothing at stake,
in a deep sense.
Nothing is happening to being.
And all sorts of things are happening too,
in the realm of manifestation,
in the realm of mind and body,
gain and loss.
To be available to all of it
without trying to pin it down
in your mind,
without grabbing on
and being dependent on
a narrative that makes you feel better.
Somehow to take this understanding
in your life,
in our life.
To invite the mind to rest.
To rest in its source,
this moment.
The reality which perceives
right now
formless awareness.
And in the realm of mind,
to hold lightly any identification.
Knowing that it’s God’s game
and that god is playing infinite games,
infinite way of manifesting.
That your true identity
doesn’t belong to the body-mind
is not defined by thoughts.
It is not defined by sensations.
What defines you?
Nonphenomenally.
What is it that is
between perceptions?
There are no words.
So if you have any questions,
anything that you would like to explore,
please make sure to unmute yourself.
As you know, there is the react button
in the bottom of the screen
where you can raise your hand.
So any questions?
