Just be open and empty right now

The Truth of anything valuable can never be known in the head, can never be known perceptually. That may lead to a misunderstanding sometimes, that the Sage is pointing to like a withdrawal of attention from perception. But that's not what the Masters are saying. What's really being said is that even if you openly perceive, what we call pure perception, what happens? Are you meeting just the world? In pure perception, are you meeting just the world, are you meeting just perceptions? Please contemplate this question. It may seem very simple, but can unlock our life. As you're just in pure perception, what do you notice? You naturally notice the world's play, the beautiful perception of the world with no opposition, you notice that. Your Being is completely palpable, completely palpable. It's completely apparent. And that you are aware even of this Being is fully clear, is fully clear. This is what I mean by Open and Empty. And the only doorway to hell – because this is heaven, there is no other heaven – the only doorway to hell now is to take the rumblings of this mind and to give them value, that process that we call belief. Not even you don't have to discard your attention from them. If you can do it, fine, do it. If you don't give them attention, then nothing to believe or not believe anyway. So, that's fine, but most of us can't. So let attention be on them unless you take them to be true, and you can do this, you can do this, and thanks to Dale for pointing that out to everyone. Don't get into this sort of meekishness and sheepishness and say „Oh, it's too much, it's too big, I can't do it“. You then are not representing God. God can never be hostage to a single misery thought, not a thought as pristinely designed as it may be that can grab the throat of God and say „You have to believe“. So, already the thought has grabbed you then saying that you are something limited, and it can then operate from that limited perspective saying „These thoughts are too big“. You must hand it over. And you know the thoughts which will seem attractive to you? The thoughts which will seem attractive to you are those that you value more than your Self. You may think that you value them for yourself. It is a lie. It is not for your true Self. The thought of the delusion that you value more than the Self are the thoughts which are attractive. So investigate the nature of those thoughts and find out who wants that or who doesn't want that, either desire or aversion, whose is that. And you can experiment with this. Just be open and empty right now. The world is clear? Without any understanding of it, it's apparent. No world knowledge is missing here. Actions can happen, drinking water can happen, you don't have to get into any Yogi Baba pose to be open and empty. Just very natural, everything is fine. Your Being is apparent or not? See if it is apparent independent of even your attention. Sometimes what may happen is that when you say keep your attention on the sense of Being, what are you actually doing? You cannot bring your attention to the unlimited, your Being is unlimited. What you are actually doing, you are coming to the core of this light, the essence of this primordial vibration, and trying to bring your attention to rest over there, which is beautiful in itself. But if you say that my attention is resting on the entirety of my Being, that is not possible, because your attention is limited, and everything is your Being. And this is apparent. So, it doesn't matter whether attention is outward, or attention is so-called inward, you see. Attention is actually only outward. There is no inward as far as attention is concerned. To go further inward now, you reach a stop with your attention, you cannot do it. It's a roadblock. tiow do you go further inward? How do you see that your Being is unlimited? You know this, you know that your Being doesn't have a boundary. How do you know? Any question which the Sages asked you, you can only answer intuitively. How do you know? I don't know with my attention, because how will I check on the unlimited nature of my Being with my attention? [Looks around searching] Wherever you send it, you can't check. So, does your Being have a limit? [You are with me, my dear?] Okay, so does your Being have a limit? No. Where do you know that? That is your Heart, that is intuition. Was your Being born? Were you born? Can this die? All these questions can only be answered from that. And the answer is [clicks fingers] instant. Not even instant, it's before the instant.
