If You're Looking, the Truth is Inescapable - 1st January 2018

If you want freedom personally, then I can tell you that there is no such thing. Personal freedom actually is the mind's notion of freedom. 'I should have the freedom to do whatever I think. I should have the freedom, either if I think of a million dollars, I should have it. If I think that I should have the best relationship, I ever should have it. I should have the healthiest body, I should have it.' This is the mind's version of freedom. What is the truth version of freedom? What is the truth of the equation of freedom? What is this? What is this? Is your freedom already the appearance of this world is in your light? So separation is nothing but resisting what is. In your support, without resisting, what is possible? Unless we have an idea that the people in my family should be this way, but for reality that we cannot suffer because of that. What is, just is. They are out there, but to have an expectation that it must be some other way is how we separate. All these interpretations are a way to avoid what is, to resist what is.

Now, some are suffering because of the variety appearing in the interpretation of worldly appearance. Some are suffering because of some idea of career or money. Some are suffering because some emotions are being experienced. But even the seeker, if he's experiencing fear, he's hardly ever saying that the fear right now is too much. The interpretation from the mind is convincing, but what if it doesn't go away in the future? Nothing in your present experience is ever too much because it is just a reflection of your own light, and your light is always stronger than the reflection. But it can start seeming like too much when we believe our notions about them. I was joking with someone earlier that if it is too much, even in the design of this play, you lose consciousness.

So then, if what is, is already true, and you are the light of this presence which contains all of this, what do you want next? Can you want something without picking up the idea that 'I am something limited'? And the mind's job is coming for God itself to clarify that. So whatever I say, I say it in a very long way that you are God, you see? Basically, that's what I'm saying. Now, when the mind is offering or doubting, is it offering or doubting for God, or is it offering and doubting for a limited version of you? And as your direct experience resonates more with what I am saying than what the mind is saying, you are thinking about it. If you are looking, then I hold that the truth is inescapable.

Now, I am saying that you are the super magnificent, super luminous, glorious consciousness itself. Now, why would you want to become a special enlightened person? What you already are is all that you will ever be, and it is all there is. Not one inch you have to go, not one instruction you have to follow, not even a pointing is needed. Nothing at all to be its being. This being is playing the game of being misunderstood by itself.
