What is in the way of happiness?
Notice how in this moment of being, this moment of presence, there is no one doing anything. In a way, whatever is unfolding is unfolding on its own. And there is no distance, no separation. It’s so lovely when there is this inner quiet. Not trying to fix anything or get somewhere, remember something.

Before the mind, what is it that is truly alive?
So what am I. in the absence of separation…. I am! There is no somebody for me to be. No someone. Just being, knowing itself, knowing amness is. And this amnes is aware. And it is this aware amness which is life, which we call life.

Open listening and thinking about myself
Allow the universe to do its thing. You are aware. Notice this listening space. It’s a borderless space, which somehow hears these words. And this hearing is not in time. It’s not a remembering. It’s not a projecting. It’s a vibrational space.

I am and cannot not be
The body-mind has a family, it’s part of a tribe. There’s a history to the body-mind. But this history is simply a narrative appearing to you, you being this awareness, the reality that right now is hearing these words.

Am I what I imagine myself to be?
Listening without any references, without knowing. It’s a listening space, an aware space. And you are this awareness. You are this invisible reality, which has. no name, no age, no gender, no history, no past, no future. Complete freedom. The freedom of being, God’s freedom. You are that.

Consciousness precedes interpretation
Everything that you experience arises in being, in consciousness, which is always present. Presence is self knowing, and it’s always on, always available to itself.

The answer is within you
And yet we do the work of inquiry, contemplation, meditation and living the understanding. That is the preparation of the house. We keep looking at the front door, but God comes through the backdoor. And reveals to you that thou are I. I is thou.

Living the current of love
You are drifting with a stream abandoned. But you are the stream, you see! Holds on to nothing, it is not trying to accomplish anything, and yet it is so alive, gurgling, nourishing the fields. You exist in the space between events, between thoughts, between perceptions and events; thoughts and perceptions exist within you. When…
