Ananta

Allowing it to appear and disappear is different from giving it assent and putting on the mask for the special one. And both are allowed, actually. Ultimately, it is to remind us we do not have to put on the mask. But even the putting on of the mask or not is the play of Consciousness. Why does it happen? Consciousness. Why, even upon hearing all of this, one does this? There is one aspect as the role of the alarm clock. The response to it will move it, you know, dancing. It is in the qualitative play; it seems to play differently. That's all that happens.

Ananta

Whether you put on the mask or not, to Consciousness nothing is ever really happening. In this window of play, it can seem like we play burdened with all the masks, and we play burdened with an identity. As long as Consciousness wants to play with it, it's like this. Because all of that is what we're trying to come up with the right language for this. Yesterday, just these words are meant for what? Some of it is enough. There is no other doing of it, you see. As you see this, and the funny thing is that not only that, the mind can play with the opposite position also.

Ananta

Just make sure that you don't buy into a spiritual ego which is, you know, because even that can become a position as well. As in, 'I got it, I got it.' Or, 'I have to come to something.' Did you have any bhakti come to this? All positions are just wonderful, except the mind is trying to sell. But also seen, and I don't want anything. Just no. Mind might try to sell things. You don't even have to call it business about so much this pressure, this stage, and 'my attention should only be it.' So one of the best gifts I can give any of you is to keep reminding you that whatever might happen, you are at peace now effortlessly. God is here, and there is nothing greater than that, and you are.
