There is Nothing Arrogant About Awareness - 9th October 2016

Okay, one thing that is coming up to say is that many of you have this feeling that if you start dropping this personal identity and you start coming from your authentic place, then you start feeling like, 'But that's too arrogant.' But it's not arrogance. I was asking the other day: What is arrogant about nothing? Nothing. You? What is arrogant about nothing? To come from this place of emptiness is not arrogance. It's just another mind which is saying, 'But you can't just pretend as if you're empty' or something like this. You're not pretending; it is your truth. So don't fall into that trap. You're seeing who you are; you're also seeing what gets you in trouble—your false belief—and you're able to drop this false belief now.

Allow life to now flow spontaneously through you. Same allowing that I was talking about earlier: allow your actions, your reactions. Don't try to be a certain way. Don't try to behave enlightened. Just allow yourself to just be. And actions are happening on their own anyway. We have dropped the pretense of being the doer. And don't buy any idea that 'I am being arrogant.' So very quickly we go from 'I'm so unworthy' to 'I'm so arrogant.' There's nothing arrogant about awareness. Even to say 'I am awareness' is the most simple thing. It is not arrogance.

Why must we persist with lying just because it feels like it is less arrogant? Actually, it is the separation—to reinforce the separation with every word that we speak—that is arrogance. That separation ever could have happened, that is arrogance. That 'I am separate from God,' that is arrogance. See? So the mind has this also upside down. To say 'I am Consciousness,' to say 'I am awareness,' is not arrogance. And the saying is not the important part, of course, but I would rather you say 'I am Consciousness' and go with this direct seeing that you're having, then continue to play this falseness, this seeker role, the Arjuna mindset.
