Bathe in Your Immaculate Beingness (Guided Contemplation) - 23rd July 2021

Now, so try to push away your being. Like, don't be. Don't have the experience of consciousness, God-consciousness, being—whatever you call it. Who can do it? Are you not being now? Who's not being? That being belongs to whom? The being that is here, who's the owner of it? Is it not the same unlimited one? Is it not the same omnipresent one that we have been searching for? So hug your own being—and you don't have to physically do anything, I'm just gesturing—hug your own being and see that nothing can appear to shake this or take this away from you. So this is the being's embrace to itself. What can come now to shake this away? Who can take God away from God? Does anything have to change in the content of our experience?

And if any of you are relatively new or you're trying to grasp at this being, don't grasp at all. Try to not be. Do the reverse. Don't be for a moment. See if you can do it. There's no holding, grasping needed. Just naturally, more intimate than your breaths, you are. The recognition of God, the recognition of beingness, is so simple. It's that simple that it cannot be done, you see, because the minute you try to do it, it seems to escape. Just letting go makes it so clear. But what you cannot do is try to fit this God into a box that you create, into a projection that you may have about it. It will not conform to your projections, neither will it dance to your projection.

What I mean is, if you have an idea about what it should be, it will be nothing like that because you cannot have an idea about this. Now, if you have an idea also about what it must do for you, how it must help you—all of that you can forget about it. Just being for the sake of being. It doesn't matter whether your relationship is going well or not; God is with you. God is you, in a way. It doesn't matter how much money you have in the bank or whether you have a roof over your head or no, because God is with you. Doesn't matter whether this body is healthy and strong or diseased and depleting; God is with you. And even the idea of finding freedom or not, becoming self-realized or not, doesn't matter because God is with you.

It is not the most powerful force in the universe; it is beyond the universe itself. Even the universe is nothing but a plaything for your being. That is your magnificence. So the miracle is not really the discovery of this, because that is so simple. The true miracle is how we confuse ourselves with that which we are not. That is why it is Maya, the great magic. This being which is ever-present—some of us have spent years and maybe lifetimes searching for it. Isn't it strange? That which is always here—in fact, 'here' is built on top of this—that we have searched for. That which we can never be, that we have posed as; and wearing that mask of the impossible, we have tried to find that which always is. But all that was needed was to let go of this mask, the impossible limitation of the ego.

This being, what does it need? What is missing? What effort are you making to be? Are you trying to be? In fact, it is the 'trying to be' which is the ego, because it's trying to be something. What is holding up the sky? More natural than that is to be. And if you are truly spiritual, as we all claim to be, then this is what you're looking for. But if you're looking for something else, then it is as materialistic as any other design. If you're looking for some fireworks, some benefits, some halo, then it's worldly, because the world is all phenomenal. All that we can refer to as God in our mind is just an aspect of this being itself. All the forms of God that we may worship are the very aspects of your very being.
