The Guidance Received Independent of Mental Interpretation is Your

Not inherently. If the movement of the body leads to artistic outcomes, it doesn`t naturally...

If certain movements of the body lead to artistic outcomes, it doesn`t naturally mean that the movement is full of identity. It is if you take yourself to be that who is creating those outcomes- your limited body-mind as that which is creating those outcomes.

No, it`s funny...

So, what is the impression that all of us should have of you, according to that voice, what is the impression?

[Laughing]...enlightened eccentric genius...

Very good. Thank you for the courage to share that, it`s very good. But, I already consider you more than that, my dear.

I cannot step down. I know in my heart that you are God Itself. And God is the greatest artist I`ve ever met. [Laughter] Guruji [Sri Mooji] said at one point – but that`s very beautiful what we are sharing – Guruji actually said at one point, that sometimes when I look at all of you, he said, it looks as if I`m telling you something very terrible about your Self. But I`m [inaudible] saying to you that you are God, and you are saying 'But, I`m little old me, but think better of this me'. But I am saying to you 'You are God' – no? But you want to take yourself to be little old me, but you want to be a special little old me. You see? And this is the nature of the human condition, that I am actually saying that we are One, we are one Being, and I`m not just saying it conceptually because I read it somewhere. I see that it`s true, and you are God Itself. You are God Itself.

No, it`s very good. It´s very beautiful. What you`re trying to say is that you realize that all of these notions can just be the mask, and actually you`re also discovering that it is the fear of letting go of this identity, in your case it is artist, in another case it would be something else, in another case it would be something else, and all of us can have these primary identities and the mind will always tell you that 'Without this, what are you? What do you have? What security is there? Suppose, all of this Satsang and about the Self, and God is all hocus-pocus, nonsense – then, what are you lee with? So, at least, hedge your bets somewhere,[Chuckles] at least have a backup plan'. It`s a compelling story, I`m saying it in a light way, but when it comes from the mind, it can be quite compelling, that 'Without this – what if you`re not God, actually? What, if you`re actually just this body-mind? What, if actually you`re just this body-mind? And without the artist body- mind, what are you?' [Pauses] Is the body the artist?

So, who wants a certificate – what is it? 'Exceptional, enlightened, eccentric artist`s certificate'? [Chuckles] Whom should I give it to?

I know, I know, just poking at the mind, my dear. Remember the laughter when it proposes the same oppressive idea again. It`s good to laugh at it, because once we see it is a laughable notion then it is not so oppressive and when Satsang gets over and the proposal comes from the mind, you remember that we laughed at it. [Silence] I`m very glad you`re able to share all this. It`s helpful for everyone, you see, because everybody has their artist somewhere.

Enlightened, musician, rock star…

[Laughing] Fill in the blanks 'Good whatever...'

Just whatever shape the mind is proposing to you, whatever shape the mind is proposing, the highest sounding shape. Even the shape which I said, that you are God Itself, even that can be taken as a shape. You see? But, whatever shape it is proposing, your acceptance of that shape for your Self is always a step down, it is never a step up. Always a step down from your Reality.
