You must put yourself behind consciousness,
So you are seeing consciousness functioning.
The Divinity is most powerfully expressed in the
'I Am'
which is not associated with the changeful.
You must go to that place and stay there.

” When you realise the Self, you are free. Freedom means somehow: You are always in peace, you are not being peaceful. You are always kind, you are not being kind. You are always the Self.. Not sometimes. Not mostly. And then your ‘ And then’ – stories are over. There is no ‘ And then’ for the Self. What is it like inside the body? It’s like you are space moving about in space, but not just dry, phenomenal space … Spirit Space. Intelligent space. Your mind is always quiet. Even if it is momentarily troubled, it will swiftly return to its natural peacefulness for that is the true state of the mind. You experience all emotions, even anger, even sorrow but they are momentary – they don’t become routine states. You perceive all energetically. Your intuitive powers open up. You understand things that cannot be explained. Your being will not feel glued in this body – it can move about and occupy different positions of being. You don’t judge other people – not deeply. Whatever comes, bitter or sweet, your being will embrace it as Grace. Such will be your good fortune.”
No thought has any power. You have power. And when you identify and believe in the thought you give power to the thought.
You are the Buddha itself slowly undressing himself of all conceptual garments.
How long will it take you?
Then at some point you'll look at me and you'll tell me, "There are no garments. There's no undressing now. There's nothing at all."

Whatever the Buddha has done it's in your capacity, in your potential. You are the Buddha itself slowly undressing himself of all conceptual garments. How long will it take you? Then at some point you'll look at me and you'll tell me, "There are no garments. There's no undressing now. There's nothing at all." Oh that's very happy.
Life presents you with two options let's say: to go out in the world and make a success of the life and be like other people and be accepted or whatever your projection is about that, or something is calling you to just come into a more meditative life and give more attention to your inner being. There seems to be these two and for awhile and they are living attractions for you. Now you're being aware, but you are neither of them. Now you're being aware, "I am neither of them," and a choice need not be made. I am neither, I simply Am.
And through whatever it is the attention goes to these choices so the movement is pulling toward one of these directions. This is ok, but what is it that is aware of all the directions?
Then it's like looking into a mirror, and you're Here again.

Real sadhana actually is that in open listening, without the intrusion of the speculative habit, is simultaneous with inner recognition and confirming, which by-passes even practice. Because the Self cannot be practiced! It must be already here. All this is is pulling the curtains, peeling away this cataract of illusory identification.
‘The search for Truth is the hardest thing I have ever done.
There is nothing I can do,’ you say.
Actually… no. There is nothing ‘you’ can do…
You are a ghost!
An apparition appearing inside your own Self.

Sometimes God challenges you to find strength you don’t have.
Only like this will you go beyond your imagined limits.
You must be pushed so far that you are forced to be humble.
Only then, when your pride and arrogance are crushed, will you discover muscles that are not yours. You will find and use the muscles of God.
When you completely abandon yourself, your ego, this miracle becomes possible.

You say you want to find the Truth.
But it cannot be done.
What actually happens is that as you are looking for your factual self,
the identity you are looking with begins to disappear.
Like a falling star that disappears before it touches the earth,
nothing remains but the immutable and formless awareness space—the Self.

You say you wish to be free of desires and expectations.
And it is true: your own desire is disturbing you.
For even noble desires such as the desire to save the world or to be a good person or even to attain liberation can actually distract you from discovering what is truly already here—natural, unbound contentment.
Once you have a desire burning inside, you will be waiting anxiously for it to be fulfilled, and if it is not fulfilled, your anxiety will increase.
So it is good to be open to the possibility of dropping all desires.
Desire promises much but fulfils little.
Though it is possible, most people find it impossible to drop even a single desire as they feel they will lose something precious.
It is like taking a dry bone from a dog.
So rather than telling you to drop desire, I say, find out what it actually promises to give you, and also identify the actual person who will receive it. Don't assume. Find out. Is any of this real?
These questions can feel deeply challenging as they threaten to expose ego's unreality. Very few go beyond to discover their real power as the undivided Self and so put an end to delusion.
Who will rise to this challenge?

Always at the point of real atomic recognition, the strongest doubt and loudest noise will come.
Don’t panic.
They are phenomena.
You are the witness of both doubt and noise.
They happen in you, not to you.
You forever remain the immaculate Self.

The mind wants to take credit for Awakening. It wants to turn it into an achievement. By being the achiever of enlightenment it retains its identity, pride, separation and deceitfulness.
Find that which is not a doer, not an achiever.
Find That which simply Is.

How joyous it is to witness a human being recognising the real Self and merging with it.
When the tribal or personal mind is absorbed in the universal Self, the human being is transformed from person to presence and is again in harmony as wholeness.
This is the real Yoga.
The universal mind is open and boundless whereas the tribal mind is full of delusions.
On the surface, the illumined one may appear to belong to some tribe also but is, inwardly, the impersonal reality.
Just as the journey of a caterpillar is completed when it changes into a butterfly, Satsang is the changing room where the person changes back to its true nature.

If today was your last day in this body, would it make any difference to you, to how you’d use your mind? What would you want to preserve... when you have no future?
Before true knowledge reveals itself,
ignorance needs to be fully swept aside.
Wisdom will not reveal itself while there is investment in the unreal,
for that portion of energy will continue creating divisions and distractions
in order to avoid or delay seeing what truly Is.
Such is the nature of the psychological mind.

There is a peace that does not go.
It does not want to go and it does not want to stay.
It has no place to go. It Is.
It has no appointments to be somewhere else.
Allow yourself to fall away from the shape of your mind.
Fall inside the shapeless.
But don’t ask how.

Avoid small mind - Ego
Remain in big mind - Consciosness
Better still:
Stay as no-mind - Awareness

It could be said that the real spiritual journey is from the head to the Heart. However, the Heart does not know any distance or journeys. It is only the head that imagines such things as journeys, trips, tricks and traps. And I am so happy when one sees that one's true Self has always been perfectly happy, peaceful and complete.

You have to drown yourself in this Beingness.
You just have to drown yourself in It;
don't ask for any contracts or guarantee.
You just have to drown yourself in the ocean of the Being.
Just drown; don't ask anything, don't ask for any
favours, just something must be there.
If you have some magic in you, the best way
of the magic is drown yourself completely.
Forget about learning anything at all,
knowing anything at all is just a big bloοdy bondage.
Don't know nothing at all! Nothing at all!
Forget about you and where you want to go
and be anything at all.
Just burn the whole bloοdy house down.

The biggest misconception in life is the belief that the world to be a separate object, whereas in truth, the world is the expression of the Subject, which is what we are.
Thus the saying, ‘I don’t see the world as it is, I see the world as I am,’ is true.

The person is noisy and seeks Silence but cannot find it.
Silence is not the gift one receives after strenuous seeking alone.
Trust. Grace reveals what mind cannot.
Silence is here, unearned and unrecognised and yet, timelessly present. It is unmixed Presence and is therefore synonymous with You but not with your person.
You exist without the person but the person cannot exist without You.
Discern the Real from the Unreal.

Real understanding, leading to liberation, takes place in Presence not in the person.
Therefore, your initial effort is to lift the consciousness from the personal state to the state of unmixed Presence.
Only when you are synchronised in Presence as Presence itself, does Self-discovering become an effortless joy.
Then Self-inquiry is not merely something you practise, it becomes the mirror you look into to see the face of God.
