You are life itself.
You are aware of your body.
Now,
Your breath is moving by its own law,
Naturally,
Unforced.
You are here.
Simply,
You are here.
Not doing anything at all.
Not about to do anything or undo anything.
Just a simple knowing.
I am here.
I am now.
Here is.
Senses are open,
Functioning by themselves,
Without your intention or assistance.
You are not waiting.
The sense of what will come,
What is next,
There is no concern for this.
You are simply here.
So,
No waiting,
No expecting,
Not being engaged with any ideas or any sense of time,
Such as past.
Whatever is past is gone and whatever may be called future is only imagined,
Only here,
Now.
This now is so fresh.
There cannot be a history of now.
It is not time.
Whatever we may perceive phenomenally appears and disappears,
Comes and goes.
There is nothing to pursue,
Nothing to follow.
Spontaneously,
You know you are.
And there is a completeness in this.
It is not that you are becoming in stages.
You are.
Feel the sense of being.
The feeling I am.
But add no story to it.
Just the sense of existence.
There is no image.
You are the sense of existence.
Not apart from it.
And you are also aware of all that comes and goes.
Notice that the watching of what appears or disappears takes place in a space that itself is not appearing or disappearing and is simply here,
Now.
Your very breath is moving in this space of being.
Your senses are functioning in this space of being.
Noticing the body.
You cannot merely be the body.
It is seen.
Observing the senses.
You are beyond the senses.
Observing thought.
You are apart from thought.
Observing mind.
You are beyond mind.
Observing experience.
You are beyond experience.
Observing change.
You are yourself unchanging.
And be reminded,
You are not waiting.
There is nothing to come that can give you anything more than what you already are.
You have no pockets.
No storehouse.
Could you merely be dreaming this?
Imagining this?
Or simply noticing?
The body is here.
You may look at this body or away from this body.
It makes no difference to the awareness you are.
You are not the size of your body,
Nor its shape.
And yet,
Through this body,
You have the sense of being here.
With fingers and arms,
The sense of others and of I can become.
The vast world of which you became a small part.
As a person,
You are inside this body.
As consciousness,
This body is inside of you.
It has always been like this.
If any strain should appear in the body,
It is also a sensation.
Be aware of this.
It is not you.
It is merely a sensation arising in the body that you may call yours.
And these sensations come and go.
As all things perceived,
Come and go.
Flow in your natural rhythm.
There is no need to fight with your mind.
Simply remain as yourself.
As you are now.
Everything is in place for life to unfold in its natural way.
Be aware of this.
You are not apart from life,
But life itself.
You are not concentrated or focused on objects,
But resting inside your own stillness,
Your own source,
Your own self.
Look in such a way that you may confirm.
Again,
There is nothing to become.
Now,
Nothing to change or to fix.
Nothing to keep or to push away.
No better place to be.
No self to become or unbecome.
Knowing this,
Your joy is complete.
Simply,
You are here.
This feeling of being here.
Notice,
It is not merely a geographic location.
It simply means you are here with yourself.
Undivided.
Whole.
Complete.
Happy.
There are no stories needed.
No victories,
No defeats.
No associations needed.
Be confirmed in your completeness.
For only like this may you enjoy the world without fear.
Here,
You are not a victim or a victor.
Pure awareness.
There is no need to discuss this with your mind or seek its approval.
Get used to being empty of concepts.
You are simply here.
So may the seed,
The essence of what you have heard,
Germinate your heart and bear true and sweet fruits.
Amen.
