The Reality of You is Unaffected - 20th June 2016

It is natural for the mind to react in this way that you are saying, that it seems to be creating a lot of restlessness. All kinds of doubts will come, all kinds of things will come and say, 'What I am is also an illusion.' Yes, but from which perspective? Not from the perspective of the one who says this. From the perspective of the mind, the I am is all there is; it is the Father from which this mind comes from. So, this son of the barren woman will not truly be reporting this truly except as some intellectual knowledge.

So if you see, the denial of existence comes from two perspectives. One is an intellectual perspective: 'I know I don't exist because I have had those moments of recognition.' But it is not coming from the right now. So if you're having to rely on some past moments of recognition to report that 'I don't exist,' then it's better we forget about it. See if you exist now, and then we will come back to that same place of clarity that you will see that the sense of existence is also seen. That which can see this is unaffected by it. And because it is unaffected by this, from that perspective we can say that even this I am is not real because I am untouched by it.

Don't let the mind come and become the Advaita teacher, because its only job is to confuse you and distract you. In this moment, I know that you can check and see that all of this is not truly confusing you at all. The reality of you, that you see yourself, is unaffected even with the presence of consciousness. So let the mind do its dance, let it jump around, throw all the tantrums it wants. You remain as you are. In fact, you always remain as you are, and you know it.

So I refuse to believe you when you say that 'I am very confused,' because I know that you had moments of great clarity. And right now, if you choose to see instead of buying these thoughts, you will see that you're free from this confusion already.
