This Moment of Notionless Existence Is Freedom - 20th March 2018

But you think something conclusive, so accurate, but it's the box. What work? But the key thing was using it. It's so simple. But someone will say, 'But it can't be so simple, and why did I have to come to Satsang for this?' Again, we pick up the coconut identity. 'Why did I have to come to Satsang?' Which one came to Satsang? 'I am that which is the primal witness of all of this. I am beyond all limitation.' And very quickly then again, 'Why did this have to happen? Why don't they understand? Why don't I have enough money?' Again, back to the coconut identity. Since the mind perceives all appearances alone, whether they are mental, whether they're physical, seemingly external, this body, everything—be you.

You see now, if the truth of you right now was that you are a limited entity and you have to find or get to your unlimitedness, then this would be correct. But the truth already is that you are the unlimited. What is your truth right now? I think we are teaching this 'I am' is contained within something. This is worth exploring. All that seems to be a boundary of desire—does it contain 'I am' or is it contained in 'I am'? Like many of us have been convinced by the mind that this 'I am' is contained within the so-called boundary of this body. But then that would make 'I am' an object. It would make 'I am' an object. Can a glass contain something which is not an object? Because that same space which contains the glass is also within the glass. So it is your existence which contains that space which contains the glass. Try to understand this. Check for yourself. While the checking might seem a bit sticky, a bit difficult, more and more it will become natural. What is your true position? Am I an object in this world, or is this world an object in me?

See that all of this perception, all of this appearance, just like a dream, comes and goes. If 'I' is just an appearance in awareness, why does the world disappear when we close our eyes? This creates the sense that 'I am' behind my eyes. That is a design of this play. It's like a computer program. We put on the headset and all that seems to appear; we remove the headset, it seems to go away. But there are many who have reported things like being able to see their body from outside. Many have reported these kind of experiences. But also, if you close your eyes, this one part of the visual perception seems to disappear. Then what happens is that you can still, if I say 'imagine a tree', it's possible for you to have a visual perception of a tree, but it is not the same sensory perception. So it is not that the world disappears; it is just that an aspect of that perception, which is some aspects of the visual perception, they are no longer accessible because the instrument is designed to work in this way. The ability to perceive does not go; the perception itself is also gone. The world is not disappearing, it is just that we lose access to one taste of it, one quality.

And what you say is right; this creates the sense that 'I am' behind my eyes. Yes, it is designed that way. The design of consciousness has enabled consciousness to believe itself to be something contained in this body container. And that is by design. And now part of the design is also that you can create itself out of this delusion by recognizing what you truly are. So at this point, we can all see that all objects can only contain other objects. If you talk about the space, then the relationship is the other way around. This space contains that bigger object here. This much you can see. So this 'you' as an object—nobody has ever found the 'you' that wants freedom. If it were something contained within the body, somebody would have found it by now. There is nobody like that within the body. The body in itself is not concerned with freedom. So this 'you' that we are referring to is just a collection of beliefs, that which is called identity, that which consciousness is believing about itself. So this one that is never found has got all our attention, and this one that is just here, 'I am', we have rarely recognized. And that which is aware even of this 'I am', the 'I' that is aware of being, this 'I' is an unchanging reality. Many bodies are coming and going, many dream worlds and waking worlds are coming and going, but this has remained untouched.

This is available right now. At one moment of peace, what is here? 'I am' that which is aware even of my existence. This is here naturally. This is here naturally. Can you suffer naturally? My Self is here. Is this a plural here? Is there two of you here? Is desire here? The one that is attached, the one with grievances, the one who likes this—is he here? What are you representing now? We do this: say 'I' and who does this 'I' represent to yourself? Again, it's a sense of body and that which witnesses desire or witnesses the sense in the mind. So if that is the real, then how long will you let just one appearance represent us? So if you have enough power to take something that appears as 'I', then let's take everything that appears as 'I'. Start with that. Just because there is a visual centrality of this visual perspective, does that make it 'I'? Does that make this body 'I'? So let's include everybody as 'I'. Every body is 'I'. Once we are comfortable with one set of sensations, we just assume those sensations are appearances that you are perceiving. These seemingly others are also sensations which you are perceiving. This body is another sensation and you are perceiving it. So why do we single out some sensations and call that 'me' and not take everything?

Okay, this is a visual sensation. This sensation is happening in the same space as this voice also. This sensation is perceived the same as when this body is also perceived. So why do you call that your voice and this sensation 'my' sensation? All this is also your voice. You see? So yeah, the mind has convinced us that these some sensations constitute 'me' and all the other sensations mean 'another'. This is duality. This is the base of the misunderstanding: that there is some set of sensations which we call 'me' and everything else is 'other'. Children don't have this in principle. It happens later. Doctors will talk about this now, to distinguish 'I' and 'other'. Yes, the mind says that 'I must be able to feel the sensations of others, of the perceptions of others, only then I will admit that that is also me.' Now, if you had a dream last night which had a hundred other bodies and they're all moving around, and then when you wake up, you admit, 'Okay, all of that was the projection of my consciousness.' But this cannot be? Is there something special about this dream that we cannot have this exact same formulation? In your waking state, you can have it. So why do we default? If our experience of various experiences shows us that it is possible for our consciousness to project itself into many, then why do we default to separation? Why don't we default to unity, oneness, and let our mind prove that actually all of this is not you? You know what I'm saying? I'm saying why have we taken on the default position that this separation must be true and it can't be proved to me that we are one? Why don't we take the default position that all this is one?

Experience for various experiences shows us that it is possible for our consciousness to project itself into. So then why do we default to separation? Why don't we default to unity, oneness, and let our mind pool that actually all of this is a cue? You know what I'm saying? I'm saying why have we taken on the default position that this separation must be true and it can't be proved to me that we are one? Why don't we take the default position that all this is one? Because you have this experience many times of projecting. Right now you can imagine a world in which you are a body in that world, and you can imagine when that body is interacting with all of them, and yet identifying with that one. So if we have so many experiences—dream, imagination—in which all of this imagery is just contained within us but we are the one being, then let that be our default position. Say, 'I'm the one being.' Something you are actually. To a separation to me, you've taken it on on evidence which is completely unproven. Say, 'I am.' You can never see another. You cannot confirm the existence of another the way 'I am.' And all of that which I perceive is within me is possible. And what is it that is witnessing even all of this? What can you say about that? It is little nothing which is like, oh, nothing of what most tell me. But most tell me then when my eyes are closed, then it is very apparent to me to honest, but you are saying the opposite. That with eyes open, I can see that all of this which is perception, we must investigate both ways. We seem to have this double.

So what actually changes when you open or close our eyes? So just the content of the stimuli, the changes in the screen in which the content is perceived is still there. The light of perception is still there. So what actually changes? Only that some perception of some objects is no longer missing. We do it now. Open. Or that keychain that Ahmed perceives is still there. That being which perceives all these perceptions is still there irrespective of whether the object is visible in this way or not. The screen, which is also itself on which there is a possibility to perceive things, might be like imagination with odds. All of this perception is still happening. The sensation of touch of the body, or the hearing of sound, the tasting of teas—all of this is still there. And the same screen, relative though it is, that some of the visual content from the screen went missing. It is exactly inherently scary in the sense because the content is missing. Does that magically mean the little fear? Or there is some condition that we have attached to this emptiness of visual perspective? But actually, just the presence or absence of a visual sensation does not actually make any difference to your interest to that we perceive all of this. This is a very routine. Has to be: what is my true position? And I guess from our take, contain Louise's body. And if I have an object, contains of these, you are not with no surgeon found, and yet pick that up. So many body. When I was a disabled person, what can we say about the witness of this stream of sensations is flowing? In this stream of sensation, one common set of sensations become my body. This is not in the same. Also the sensations of that body, it will bar is completely different from the sensation of this body. That is where recently that the experience that we found is different. Who has been the inhabitant of? And we don't mean everything is within the body firstly; that is very important. So we are saying that everything that is being perceived, and best I can say, the perception of a sensation within the space of my existence, within life together now as part of the sensational perception of this body. But they still like I don't. So you put all this except for reunion and all of these characters will clear the vision here, which also wearing headsets. So you put on a headset in the video game, and the video game appears now. If you think that you're seeing as part of the game, now in the game you see two hundred other people wearing headsets. So we do say that? I will say that this one is part of the appearance of the game happening in my purse. I will not say that unless I can see what that guy is saying. Do not say that in the same way that when you had a three-way with one body which you set is yours. So seemingly implement three is perception. One very similar experience to sensory perception seems to—we seem to be convinced that it is the on the window of them to be. We can't even admit that even with physics, because this discussion all together, you see, the consciousness actually needed to manifest a physical body to experience any perception is obviously not true. And yet it can be said that that's how it is playing right now. It feels like, tell me what I'm saying. It is something you are. I don't know why you haven't experience of this entire movie in different different characters are appearing on your screen and different sensations, different perceptions are coming. Some of them—what is visual perception? The design of something happens is the character on the screen, something shakes the vision. So when we find level, oh, that one that is having the experience of all this vibration, we eat been a pleasure only not continuing this at all. Yet it is my experience with am the perceiver of and I am not contained on third pioneer. Then it will become very much like that epicardial just a perception. It is that he that I cannot conclusively say that inside of my body is not there. Yes, why intestines, lungs—that is not cannot see really. Even involve quantum physics and all types of physics is coming to the same from you. That which is the centrality of this body is what will be more accurately to see that the perspective seems to have the centrality which is this body. It seems that this body is at the center. Now as you see really where all these appearances are appearing. So to begin with, at least we can say that thanks he also all of them already. It means that what is useful enough enough because I don't want to force too much into that thing there for you always. It will come very naturally. But please for now we can admit that they experience so all of this other. Okay, you are asleep. If there are you that want something now? No, you don't even want to listen that there is no want of any song religious nothing. And yet that we knows there is nothing is you. So what you think is that I see that in the sleep state there is no limit of any sort, but in the body comes it seem like there isn't any now. That one, that witness that there is no see in sleep state, that one is that limited one? What happened to that one? Something started to appear. What happened? One humble that one gets in the TV like what we saw that there is nothing and that itself is not a thing. It's all there is nothing. Now all these things started to appear. What happened to that one who is mostly? So thank goodness there was nothing does not witness now the baby something. It's a different witness now. Check now. That one that witness there is nothing, that one is not aware of your it is now. Lose that means that make it lost won't be aware. Then how did you lose it? You say it got lost somewhere. Is it true? Can never be lost because it itself is the substratum for the appearance of anything else. Cannot lose it if you try. You're not you know yourself like telling a shoe in the shoe you can use an acid can the classic into glasses you cannot lose you. You can lose all that is false. You cannot detox. You say they dutifully that and sleep state all this is not what is not agreed not you. You must leave me there on your donation can be not. So all the perceptions are lost, then other perception can be picked up. We have a dream state in which also a different angle, different between different all of that it comes but can also be lost. Then one constant and all of this—waking, dream, sleep—which is not lost in the knee of these trees, that must be the you. What can you say about them? We might like you say many feel like in the waking state that is not it is to you because you can say, 'I have that dream last night, then I had this deep sleep,' which is constant toward all these things. You can never be gone when sense. But within my dream you are my dream characters including Father is going to check me up predictable.

The implication that I made the decision happens after the movement is already happened. We started moving our saying only chose selecting clothes to wear, already the trouser was picked up to enjoy a good thing read this. The process of it being born was already happening. You are very well aware of that BBC document field we found that the neurons are already firing before even the thought comes up. This is this is the white which is coming and saying, 'Good thing you moved it this way. Why did I say this from him? I should not have. Good thing except this post back to conclusions about things which I disappearances attributing to the them to the non-existent I is the cause of all that is that is huge.' You see, just like thoughts are coming now, you come to something long enough. We are not saying that, 'Oh, I can't decide which which will be my next.' Are not saying that thoughts are coming. They can say the random problem is also usually why? Because the movement is happening in this body just like the movements is happening in all body. This this mind is coming telling you this movement for jobs, that movement is not yours. You don't know how to make that time. Yeah, yes. And this gap is worth investigating because you don't know how to move a finger. You don't know how to fire anything wrong. If you still feel like I can move my movement of the hand is happening here from here, I'm telling you every label nobody speaking the words. These words are disappearing. The mind can dominate. You should have set them all, you should not accept them prior to this to be of the mind.

Yeah, that design of the mind, it's like a new invention came that allows you to play doctor-doctor. In this invention, it will do all the instructions as to how you think later becomes the service for these. Now you are broke this game, but this invention is to language and keeps individual identity. But the design of the mind—see, this is your invention who allows you to play as if you are something. The mind is inhabiting this is there, but it is not holding body is for. Who am I? The one here is in fighting because find out what if any of this applies to you. You say, 'I should not have done this. I want to do this.' Yeah, and become complete when I have freedom. That is I who is the mind referring to me is that if you order this lump. What is freedom? That moment of your notionless existence is freedom. This notionless existence is here. We are one here. We are that experience of having the mask of individuality on that seems like one of the will never be revealed. So it motions we play as if we have. Thank you. It's clear that we have all will be free and there is never been a new body. You can meet at that point where you see that everything that you conceal it just makes me tense within me. That much is enough. You the solutions ingredient you know this me came back five seconds away with no more singing Indian gives a sense of existence that will appear. So when I am, this is the basis for phenomenal business. I have. We can say what is on table computer is so this existence of computer on the table only they write with sense of existence because I am very liberal mean existence of any phenomena in this ayah. So I am that for substratum for all other perception. So if you are just referring to the fragrance of I am presence, I am pleased to do this just back as I am, then you wear that fragrance also comes now that in the sensible system this slide I asked you. So where are these words being Cardinal miss please admit we loads of inherent displeased and rich all perception if I do not it is not this famous waves within that space ability when the space is perceived so t

The presence of any phenomena in this area, so I am that substratum for all other perception. So if you are just referring to the fragrance of 'I am' presence, 'I am' presence is just back as 'I am'. Then where that fragrance also comes from? Now that in the sensible system, this light I asked you, so where are these words being perceived? Please admit, we lose the inherent distance in which all perception... if I do not, it is not this space within that space. Ability when the space is perceived, so this is this finding for a bit. Where are these being? Because many times visual perception, the question can you come up with, confused. So use this or use that, however you want.

So much for being certain today. Naari is guilty, my book is basically... he would be an idea.

Just feeling very, very, very happy for them. Nice. Who am I? Are you then? 'I am' asserts itself. Awareness stays in the background in the way awareness asserts itself. You, I have was awareness of asserting itself. I was asserting itself as 'am'. Just one. This is the appearance of 'am-ness'. Does not make there make it two. 'I am' is except with the awareness of... it is the assertion of the Self as existence.
