Silence Is Your Essential Nature

Sitting quietly, observe feelings and thoughts pass by. See how fleeting they are, so no need to call them 'mine'. Nothing stays, everything you experience is always changing. Like this, we can realise that only our quiet presence always is. Underneath all experiences, there is a silence and peace in us; our true nature.

Transcript

Sitting with your eyes closed or almost closed drawing the attention within feeling the body here,

Sitting it's always already a different realm where there are no distinct shapes just some feelings in the body maybe some images in the mind just observe these just the playing of the mind notice the habit of saying it's me when the body is felt a recognition these feelings that is me but is it true?

What does it mean?

The feelings are always changing observe this you feel a bit of warmth,

Some pressure,

Touch of clothing notice how it's changing this experience of the body so,

What of it is really steady?

And are you not observing it or even thoughts coming and going?

How can something so fleeting,

So changeful be me?

Be what you are?

Yet you are here it is clear your presence is rest in this presence and do not attach to any thoughts or any feelings just here feel the spaciousness of only being no need to take shape to assume it's like this or like that you are you are here the shapes are coming and going notice this silence of only being yet sounds can be there thoughts can pass feelings can pass,

Be felt and leave but the silence of being remains unchanged notice this thoughts may even come that say I want,

I like,

I think notice they're just thoughts it doesn't really mean that it is what you are because these thoughts they're continuously changing whatever they are and all the while you are here unchanged in your presence so no need to try to work to strive because you are already here this idea of having to get someplace to achieve something it's just an idea let it go,

Let it pass and find that you are already here nothing missing,

Nothing in excess perfectly at peace in yourself so even if you would open your eyes and look around this piece of being will not leave you,

You might not notice it or get too involved in thinking but it is still here a substratum of peace and silence acknowledge it,

Be with it,

Be it and find that nothing can take it away from you peace,

Harmony,

Quietude are you an essential nature?

Your heart and your soul center Zoom.
