Have you heard the saying what you are looking for is already here or you are already what you seek for that can be frustrating to hear for some Seekers I know it triggered a lot of anger for this body but a part of us knows this to be

True have you actually sat and investigated this on your own because believing in that does nothing for you there’s no need to believe in it because you will now know it and it’s so simple so please keep it simple go beyond imagination because you won’t find what’s being pointed to and any

Imagination because what’s being pointed to is that which is effortlessly aware of imagination so you can’t can’t imagine it it’s impossible so what in this very moment is on the other side of imagination what is here that is not of the imagination because it’s looking at the Imagination and if thoughts are going it Consciousness it’s me it’s awareness while you can’t actually name what’s looking what you seek for is not the label of Consciousness it’s not the name because could you really put a label on what’s being pointed to is it

Possible the answer is no we may give it names like God Consciousness awareness I am or you but you could call it whatever you want the label itself isn’t what it is it doesn’t Define it at all for example we label the body the body the

Leg the leg the hand the hand but that’s not what it really is you can truly call it whatever you want in other languages it’s called something completely different and if you heard it in another language you wouldn’t know what they were talking about unless it’s translated to the language you

Speak language is just sound sounds that we gave meaning too in truth they have no meaning at all what we call the body in truth has no name at all it just is what it is nothing here has a name in truth so what is here that isn’t labeling

Anything or giving meaning to anything can you be this place where nothing is Concepts and labels attached to it without expectations of what that experience would be like don’t just notice it be it keep it simple don’t even believe that this is a spiritual experience that’s just more ideas and Concepts it doesn’t

Mean anything at all in truth what is here that is not trying to figure out if this is spiritual or not now if you’re still having a hard time with something like calming down the mind can you realize that there is something already here in this very

Moment that is come already it’s free from thoughts already it’s not trying to change thoughts nor is it rejecting them only thoughts can fight with thoughts what’s here that no matter how many thoughts arise it can never get mixed in them be that now be it don’t separate yourself from

Freedom it’s what you are be it is there an emotion in the body that you seem to be having trouble with well what’s here right now that can never be mixed in emotion that isn’t trying to get get rid or change it what is here that is not anxious

Already now when I ask these questions these aren’t for you to try to find some mental answer saying Consciousness isn’t the answer or saying me isn’t the answer there is no answer when I ask this find the experience of what I am pointing to not some mental confirmation or

Belief once again don’t believe in this you can know it to be truth then there will be no need for belief because it becomes undeniable see what’s here that confirms these so clearly that it’s Undeniable at some point you have to see that the Mind cannot and will never know what I’m pointing to it will never know what you truly are how can it if what I am pointing to isn’t the concept it doesn’t truly have a name you can’t imagine it

You can’t even look for it because it’s what’s looking how long are you going to believe in the story of one day the mind will finally find what it looking For what you’re looking for is looking at the Mind seek for something so what is here that is not seeking that’s not trying to find anything be that and how do you be that well you can’t not be that you have no choice it’s what you truly Are and it’s here you won’t find it one second from now it’s here already freedom from everything is already here because freedom is what you truly are you don’t have to wait for the the body to feel comfortable you don’t have to wait for the mind to calm down even

Though that may make it a little clear there’s nothing to fix there’s nothing to do to Be also if you are imagining Consciousness or awareness is this thing that’s in the background of experience it’s time to let that go it’s it’s time to dissolve the imagination of the Observer of experience because they are one in the same I know how the mind can create this

Picture of Consciousness because when we hear we are the Observer or we are the awareness we automatically assume and create through imagination that it’s separate from what it’s observing and yes it’s true that you are not What You observe but at the same time What You observe is a product of

You because it’s within your imagination it’s made out of what you are just like how screen is not the movie but the movie is the screen the projector itself is not what it’s projecting but what’s being projected is the projector the dreamer isn’t the dream that the dream is made from the

Dreamer and as this becomes clear through experience you bring these Illusions out of solidity they almost become transparent and life becomes very very intimate this is where we get the idea of I am one with everything because that’s how it feels I am one with everything isn’t

About believing in that that concept is a pointing to an experience that can’t really be talked about directly to know it you must experience it not believe in it and you’re actually experiencing that now because you can never not be the truth of what you are you can only

Believe that you are not that why it feels so real just like a movie playing on a screen be that Clos with experience do you see how close these images are two the screen you are watching this on it’s one with it but all there truly is is the screen

Everything else are just appearances when you turn this device off the appearances go away but the screen remains if you close your eyes the appearances of the visual feel go away but you remain I want to talk about that really quick because I believe it will really

Help you bring everything back home to close the gap of the illusion of Separation when teachers talk about Oneness you are one with everything I know for me there was some confusion in the beginning with this idea because it was so hard hard for me to see how I

Could be a tree or how I could be someone else mainly because there can still be identification with the body most time you are trying to compare the body to other objects but the body you’re experiencing is also an object it’s a thing it’s an

Illusion it’s a part of the movie on the screen but you are one with everything doesn’t necessarily mean what we have been perceiving it to mean this is why you can also say that you is consciousness is nothing no thing Consciousness is not a thing because things don’t actually

Exist in the way we think things are projections they are a part of the movie when watching a movie it appears as if you are read really watching something real but it’s an illusion because all you’re really seeing is the screen there’s just filters over it that

Appear to make it seem like the screen isn’t there you can’t watch a movie without a screen because the screen is the Ultimate Reality of that movie it’s the only reality of it the same way Consciousness you is the ultimate and only reality of this experience you are dreaming everything

Emotions thoughts the environment situations Etc all of it and when I say you I’m not referring to the body the body is also a part of your imagination every body is a part of consciousnesses or I’ll say your imagination family lives in there friends who you think you are it’s all within

You it’s all you you as in what you truly are above the ego and body a good trick to begin to see how you are not the body is to go back and forth with the I am statements of I am the body and I am aware of the

Body notice the experience of both and switch back and forth until it becomes so clear that you begin to realize how this body is within you and you’re not in the Body what is here right now that is not depending on Sensations to exist be that what is here right now that does not have an appearance of face what is here right now that’s not affected by any experience at all if a car blew up in a movie is the screen affected by That if someone dies in a movie is the screen affected by that if someone is born in a movie was the there before that character’s birth you are the screen of this reality you are the dreamer and everything is you because things don’t exist only you

Do and you are all there is so focus on that Only there is nobody to think about or to worry about or or to be afraid of what you isn’t something personal the same awareness that’s aware of this body is the exact same that’s aware of every body how could it possibly be Different
