Hello again,
Welcome.
This video is called Remove Me.
From the center of experiencing.
Take a moment to become quiet and still.
And now simply notice around and within experiencing is happening.
Sights,
Sounds,
Thoughts,
Feelings,
The movement of the breath.
All are simply appearing and being experienced.
And now stand back and notice something not immediately known.
How unconsciously there seems to be an identity of me at the center of this experiencing.
A me he was seeing,
Hearing,
Feeling.
Thinking.
Now look a little deeper.
Is there actually,
In real time,
A me experiencing anything?
Or is there simply experiencing happening?
A sound is heard,
A sensation is felt.
A thought appears.
A feeling arises.
Do any of these movements require a separate me?
A separate entity to be at the center for them.
To be fully experienced.
Notice how the mind habitually defaults to the sense of a me.
A conditioned belief for how it is experiencing.
This is happening to me.
This concerns me.
This affects me.
And from this apparent centre of me the mind further interprets.
Defines,
Labels,
Compares.
And judges.
And when we remain identified with the content of experiencing through the eyes of an apparent me,
We remain open to worry.
Anxiety,
Stress.
Because whatever is being experienced is being interpreted as happening to a me.
But what happens when there is no personal identity of me?
At the center of one's experiencing.
Without the identity of a me,
Is there anything actually missing?
Perhaps only the label.
And if the label is absent,
What remains?
Is there anything missing between the apparent me and the real me?
And the lived reality of your next breath.
Can one's experiencing simply remain open and free?
Without there being a me standing at the center.
As the experiencer.
Experiencing continues with no Experiencer.
Let this question remain open.
And when we let go of this habitual identification,
When we allow this conditioned belief of a personal me.
To quietly dissolve.
What is revealed is not something new.
It is the stillness and presence already here.
Behind,
Before and within all experiencing.
Stillness,
Without needing to be separate from what is being experienced.
Now notice the sense of one's physical appearance.
Can this also simply be experienced?
If it can be experienced,
What is aware of its presence?
Remain with this question.
The body is experienced.
Thought is experience.
Feeling is experience.
Can the sense of being someone also be experienced?
If so,
Can this sense of me actually be the experiencer?
Or is it itself another appearance within experiencing?
And as this becomes more clear the need for a center can begin.
To fall away.
Without the me at the center of experience.
The mind without its habitual contraction into separately labelling me and them.
Has no foundation within experiencing from which to maintain its sense of separation.
No center.
Just experiencing.
And now what remains when there is no me?
Not them.
At the center of experiencing.
Don't look for an answer.
Simply remain present.
And notice.
What silently and openly remains.
Inseparably aware of all movements.
Undivided.
Now very gently allow experiencing to return to all that is around you.
Sounds,
Sensations,
The breath.
Feelings,
The body.
Now quietly be aware of a newfound spaciousness of experiencing.
Without the need for an experience-er.
Life without the need for an identity of a me.
Standing at its centre.
Just this.
As it is.
Now this video,
Remove Me from the Center of Experiencing,
Has a few companion videos,
All on my page on Insights.
Each a fresh doorway to direct impersonal awareness.
And the titles of those videos is Seeing Without a Me and The Me and Mine We Never Questioned.
Blessings to you.
