Find Your Self Without Looking

Really, what I have been speaking of for quite some time is the simple, simple way in which you can come to the pure recognition of your Self. That is the main, main thing and because it is so simple, all that is needed is that all our complex ways have to be kept aside because the discovery cannot happen if there is any complexity. Now, what do I mean by complexity? If there is any ‘trying to solve’ that is complexity. If there is any searching ‘Where is it, where is it?’ either seeming outside or inside then that is complexity. So what I am really introducing you to and it’s a rare sort of introduction in the world - is how to find your Self without even having to look because our methods of looking are flawed. We can use them for phenomenal looking. We can use them for worldly looking and finding but we cannot use those methods to find our Self, find our True Self. Now, the good news is that if you keep the false methods aside and the false pretences aside, what I am pointing you to is fully available to you and fully apparent to you. So, a strange way to propose what I am asking you to do is to find your Self without looking. What do you find when you are not looking? And ‘not looking’ is not an avoidance of perception. It is just a lack of concern of what perception is bringing you. (With me?) Not looking is not the absence of perception, as long as there is a waking state there will be perception. Even if it is a perception of dark empty space it is still perception. So it is not an avoidance of any perception or a hankering for some perception but it’s just a complete lack of concern about what objective perception may be bringing to you. Without any of that, with no concern about that, what is that you are discovering? Without having even to look, without taking any time, what is most obvious to you? (With me?) So, like that [Clicking of figures] I am not giving any time for the discovery because the discovery is not in time. Don’t look and you will find. [Smile] And again don’t look doesn’t mean you have to avoid any perception. What do you find independent of perception... independent of perception? Your Self. So Self-discovery is as simple as that. The rest of it is like I say resistance management and desire management (which is another form of resistance). But, first, if you now go to the mind to certify this for you ‘Ananta is saying [Clicking of figures] Truth is apparent without time, without space, without needing to look or find, It is apparent.’ Who will you go for certification for this? I am saying ‘You are Free.’ If you go to Mr. Mind, what do you think the mind will say? Even if it is saying ‘Yes, yes, very good, this is it’ it is only setting you up for failure because tomorrow it will make a state out of this and say ‘See that went away. It is easier in front of the Father or something like that.’
