Hello again and welcome.
This meditation is called Nothing is Outside of Oneself.
Have you ever noticed how habitually we experience life?
As though everything is outside.
There is a world out there,
People,
Places,
Sounds,
Objects.
And then there is a me,
Somewhere here,
Experiencing it all from the viewpoint of being outside.
But what if this sense of outside or inside is not quite as separate as it first appears?
Right now there is seeing,
There is hearing,
Sensations,
Thoughts.
Perhaps emotions,
And all of this is being known.
Can you find anywhere where an experience itself ends?
And where you,
The perceiver,
Begins.
The sounds you hear are known within one's awareness.
The sensations in the body are known within one's awareness.
A thought appears within one's awareness.
And emotion appears again within one's awareness.
And even the sense of being a separate me.
Is itself something.
That is known within one's inseparable awareness.
So perhaps nothing is actually outside of knowing.
Separate from one's inseparable awareness.
Nothing needs to be brought closer.
Nothing needs to be included or joined.
How could this be when one is infinite formlessness?
There is simply what is openly happening.
What is appearing,
Being experienced.
Being known within the openness of awareness.
So the deeper recognition is not that everything is centered around a separate self.
For there is no separate entity standing apart from life.
Or separate from its seamless unfolding.
Nothing is outside of oneself.
Because nothing is outside of one's seamless All inclusive.
Awareness.
