Letting Go - A Guided Meditation & Discourse

Letting Go - Such a simple phrase yet so difficult to do. Well it is actually impossible to do as long as you think that which you are holding onto is benefitting you in some way. If it is seen that it isn't the hands open automatically. Thus letting go means coming to see things as they are.

Hello everyone,

Welcome,

Welcome,

Welcome.

Welcome to my daily meditation.

Well,

It's not quite daily,

It's pretty often though.

This has kind of fallen into a rhythm where I give a little talk in the beginning,

Then we do a meditation and then I answer questions.

And so I've given every one of these meditations,

And this is number 43.

So letting go,

Oftentimes people will say something like that,

Oh,

Just let it go.

And it's really more pejorative than it is helpful,

Right?

If we could let things go,

We would.

We don't really know how.

We haven't learned how to actually let go of the things that we're holding on to.

The only reason we hold on to something is because we think there's something to get from it.

If we knew for a fact there was nothing to get,

We wouldn't hold on to anything.

If you look at that,

There's a feeling,

There's a clutching feeling associated with holding on to something.

When somebody tells you to let go,

You may let go for a second and then pick it right back up again because we can't let go of anything that we value.

As long as something has value to us,

We're not going to want to let it go.

We're going to want to hold on to it,

And rightly so.

Now,

That doesn't mean we have to go around devaluing everything in our lives.

What it means though is we do have to get perspective.

If we knew where the source of all value came from,

We wouldn't be concerned about letting go of the objects in our life that simply express that value.

A long time ago,

I think I've told this story before,

But a very long time ago at a very,

Very,

Very low point in my life.

I was,

I don't know,

23,

24 years old.

I had no money.

I had two children.

I was separated from my wife.

They were living with me.

There were some dreadful times,

But one time she came up,

Came,

She wanted to take them for the weekend.

It was getting on Christmas time.

She took them for the weekend,

Took them 2,

000 miles away.

Just got on a plane and took them down from Chicago down to Arizona where her family was,

Completely without my knowing.

So I'm working,

I'm making $3 an hour in a 7-Eleven in the middle of the night.

It's Christmas.

My children have been taken away from me.

I simply,

I don't have the means to get them.

I've got a boss who's yelling at me because he thinks I'm,

Because I don't know,

I forgot to move one of the salamis in the freezer or something.

The middle of my job is to keep this place clean.

This is Barrington,

Illinois in the middle of winter.

Everybody walks in.

The place is always dirty.

Make a long story short,

I just wanted to give you a picture of exactly how miserable it was.

It's the midnight shift too.

It's the middle of the night with the strangest people coming in.

Anyway,

I'm sitting there.

I remember it was five years ago,

Five years prior to that,

That I'd had this great revelation.

I mean I would talk to God as easily as I'm talking to you.

I didn't really know who it was at that.

I didn't really know what the meaning of God was.

Why is my life such a mess?

Why is absolutely nothing working?

I had no idea about program responses and conditioning and any of that stuff.

Very few people did at the time.

This is late 1970s,

Mid 1970s.

But as I was sitting there just grouse,

Once again mopping the floor,

I was just,

I was feeling,

And the word specifically I just felt,

I had no purpose,

I had no dignity.

I was just the bottom of the heap.

That's what it felt like.

And that same voice that I'd gotten used to talking to me very loudly says,

Dignity's in you,

Not what you do.

And suddenly it dawned on me,

It was just like that I was the source of dignity,

Not what I did,

Whether the job was a big important job or washing the floor for the hundredth time in the same night.

And suddenly realized that not only was the dignity in me,

But whatever I did became dignified because I did it.

It was a complete 180 in my attitude.

My heart just blossomed.

And that place was the shiniest 7-Eleven in the country that night.

And from that moment on,

Things began to shift.

There was a real huge down that took place,

But I had a completely different attitude about it.

I was tempted really,

Sort of,

I was accused of stealing all sorts of stuff.

But there was this equanimity that just came.

And it lasted a very short time.

And from that moment on,

It just started to go up.

I just got this other job,

Which connected me up with computers.

It seemed like I had a knack for computers.

And a couple of years later,

I moved out to San Francisco.

It was quite remarkable,

But I can pinpoint that moment.

I could let go of looking outside myself or in that instance,

I found it here.

And everything I did from that point on became dignified because it was me,

Because it was my dignity reflected on that.

You know,

The flower,

As beautiful as it is,

Does not have color.

We say,

Ah,

The beautiful red rose,

The pink violet,

The purple orchid.

Well,

They don't have color.

Color is an attribute of the light,

Not the flower.

The flower merely reflects it.

But the quality belongs to the light.

Every quality you want to bring into your life,

Your big dreams and aspirations,

No matter what it is,

No matter what kind of quality,

Creativity,

Happiness,

Joy,

Prosperity,

Those qualities are not in anything.

Those are qualities of consciousness that are reflected in the objects.

Like the color of the flower is actually the color of light being reflected.

You already possess everything.

So all we need to let go of is what never had any inherent value in the first place.

When Buddha was talking about the cause of suffering and letting go of desire,

It's often said,

Oh,

You just have to let go of all your desires.

And that's not at all what he meant yourself at all.

He said to let go of the desire for something that doesn't exist.

If I'm desiring to get happiness from some external object,

I'm desiring something that can never be fulfilled.

I'm desiring something that does not exist.

So I want in this meditation to bring you to the place that is the source of all qualities,

Which then will allow you to let go of seeking quality where it isn't,

Of desiring something that doesn't exist.

And I trust that the picture is clear today and not all muddled like it has been.

So everyone close your eyes.

Let's get together and meet in that inner space that's already full and already complete,

Lacks nothing.

You can start by just bringing your attention to your breath with your eyes closed and have a nice deep,

Slow breath.

It immediately begins to bring attention away from the external,

Even away from thinking and anchor it more in the body.

And then to help even more withdraw one's attention from the very,

The momentum of thinking that is the most of our day.

Let your attention go to feeling,

Just sensing.

There's a clear and unmistakable energetic feel to the body.

You don't need any ideas about it.

Don't picture the body because that's an idea in the mind.

We want to actually feel it directly.

And notice that the more you feel it,

The easier it is to let go of thinking about it.

There's just this energy field of the body.

But there's something even more subtle.

Notice that on another level down,

Even more subtle than the sensations in the body,

Which are very subtle,

There's a sense of your being,

Just the sense that you are.

You can't look at it directly.

You can't feel it or think about it.

In fact,

It's so subtle,

Probably not noticed it.

And in our normal language,

There's no word for it.

Most don't even recognize that it exists.

But there's a clear sense of your own being.

It's quiet.

It's not moving.

Feel the energy field of the body.

And there's motion.

Sensations are in a constant flow.

If you put your attention on the feeling of your hand,

You'll notice that it's not static.

It's actually a flow of energy.

The flow of energy that is flowing so fast that it appears to this level of perception to be a solid experience.

But feeling it directly,

It isn't.

Now turn that attention back towards this sense of being and notice that it's not moving.

It isn't a flow.

It's something else altogether.

I call that simply the sense of being or the sense I am.

And in fact,

Were you to leave your body right this moment,

All of this fell away in what people call death,

That sense of being would remain.

I really want you to just pay attention to it because it's so overlooked.

This is the sense of I am,

Pure being.

And then notice that even that sense I am,

As subtle as it is,

And in fact,

It is the most subtle experience you can have.

There's nothing beyond it.

There's something aware of even that.

It's beyond subtle.

It's undetectable.

You simply recognize that even that subtle sense of I am is being seen.

By what?

Well,

By you.

Where are you in this picture?

That is the absolute pure being.

Before even the sense of I am can appear.

Now,

Just referencing that sense of being and you aware of it,

Is there anything missing?

Does it feel at all incomplete?

Does it feel limited,

Bounded in some way?

And when you ask these kinds of questions,

Our mind might want to hop in and make some suggestions,

But this is a space beyond mind.

This is indescribable,

Which means the mind is of no use here.

Does this sense of being and you aware of it have a gender?

Does it have beliefs?

Can you find a beginning to it?

Or is it just is?

Can you find an end to it?

It appears to be quality less,

But you know the light that is reflected by the flower.

When it's not being reflected by anything,

Can't be seen.

And yet,

In its invisibility,

The entire range of the experience of color and shade and contrast is there.

In its wholeness,

You,

In your wholeness,

Are like that invisible white light.

Look directly at it and you see nothing.

And yet,

Inherent in it are all the qualities that you see.

This is pure consciousness,

Pure being.

This is your true nature.

It can't be seen directly,

Like white light.

It appears empty,

But it in fact is the source of all quality.

And there's no limit to that quality because you have no form.

This is shanyata,

Happiness,

The pure potential for everything,

That which is the source of all quality,

Which needs nothing outside of itself,

Is never held on to anything and doesn't ever need to let go.

As we get ready to come back now,

Just recognize,

This is you.

This is not the version of you you've been led to believe.

It's not the one that has dominated your mind.

This is the real you.

Formless,

Dimensionless,

Timeless.

It's literally true that you already are everything you've been seeking.

And as we begin to open our eyes and move our body a bit,

We don't ever leave here.

You can't leave you.

You're simply going to let in more experience.

This is where you always are.

So take a nice breath and open your eyes while I say hello to people.

Hello Kamal,

My friend in India,

Daryl in Maryland,

Jay.

Hey Jay.

Cheryl,

Good morning from PA.

Brian in Virginia,

Good morning to you.

Eli,

Good to see you.

Ana Maria in Poland,

Dorothy in Denmark,

Rosario in Spain,

John in Ireland,

John David,

Good vibes.

Hello,

Sir.

Mary Sykes,

Isabelle,

OMGP,

Light and love,

Blessings from Poland,

Isabelle.

Daryl,

Thanks GP.

That story is as powerful as meditation.

Yes,

It is,

Isn't it?

Eva,

Namaste dear G.

I'm late.

It's okay.

Looked very well in this background.

And the internet is perfect.

Good.

So good.

Yeah.

Yep.

I had to make this switch.

Hi,

Dale.

Dave is in Philly.

Dale is in Massachusetts.

Pia says hello.

Alicia.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

From Malta and Lillian.

Hello from Palm beach,

Florida.

Jay says that was an inspiring story G.

Never know when and where the crack in the wall happens.

As long as you are really openhearted to finding those cracks in the wall,

They'll happen.

Once we begin to open up,

The process just continues.

Alicia,

I still crap.

What now?

Laughing.

Not quite sure what you mean,

Alicia.

Love what you do.

Thank you.

Love you too.

I still crap.

What now?

Not sure what the question is.

Come all.

When you say something can observe the sense of I am as well,

I think I get lost there.

Don't worry about it.

It's not important.

Stay with the sense of I am.

But notice that the sense of I am as subtle as it is,

Is still being perceived,

By what?

It is the subtlest of experiences.

The sense I am is the subtlest experience you can have.

But who are you?

You're not whatever your experience,

You're not.

But you yourself cannot be experienced.

You're not an experience.

You're not something that is ever changing.

Your words hit me right now.

Good.

Good.

It's just something you notice.

But just stay with that sense of I am because that's the door.

As Nisargadatta said,

In one way it swings to the vastness of the manifest universe,

In the other direction it swings to the infinite.

That's the doorway between the manifest world and the unmanifest world.

It's simply the sense I am.

But the sense I am couldn't be sensed unless you were there first.

And that's the absolute,

Which is unknowable,

Imperceivable.

That's the Tao that cannot be spoken.

The true Tao.

You feel like crap right now,

Alesia?

Alright.

Well then,

If anybody else does too,

Because meditation doesn't always leave us feeling high.

Sometimes when we open up an inner space,

Stuff comes.

Stuff comes up.

So don't,

I want you to let go of trying to push the crap away.

Just let it be there.

Letting go doesn't mean getting rid of.

Letting go means taking your hands off.

You just open your hands.

And it is a totally non-resistant place.

I'm simply not resisting my life.

Now just do that for a second.

Take a couple breaths and just say yes to whatever you're feeling.

And notice there's a feeling and then there's a resistance to the feeling.

And so you just kind of stand back and you're not going to engage.

You're not going to take the side of resistance.

You take side of resistance,

Now you're resistant.

But if you stand back and you just notice there's a resistant energy,

There's an uncomfortable feeling,

There's another feeling that wants to resist it or push it away.

Then you stand back here,

The place of the enlightened witness.

Just stand here.

And you just say yes to all of it.

Your hands are completely off.

It actually sometimes helps to physically do this.

Just kind of let go.

Make the gesture of letting go.

And then notice what happens.

Just notice what you feel.

When you,

The consciousness at the center,

The light at the center,

Don't take sides,

Just recognize an uncomfortable feeling is an uncomfortable feeling,

Nothing more.

Then you just let it be there and watch what happens.

Mary says,

What a great background.

Meditation was so good.

Internet is perfect.

Yay.

Wow,

This is my space for a while.

Yes.

I'll get some nice looking sets and things going in here.

It's a very nice place.

It could be a little bit bigger,

But it's big enough.

The wall behind me is big.

It's got like 10 foot ceilings.

It's really good for a video studio.

Michelle Harris,

That is so cool.

Thanks.

You're very welcome.

Jay,

I was watching a video on being at peace by Eckhart Tolle and he was talking about being present in every moment.

One example he mentioned was walking up to the chair being present in every step.

Right.

He's very much like that.

He's like focused on that constantly,

That presence,

But not a but.

When we go into that meditation,

To that place that's just the sense of being,

That's presence.

That's what he's referring to.

He even used the same phrase.

He uses presence more,

But he even uses the phrase that sense of being,

That awareness of being aware.

He and I are talking about the same thing.

So it can be,

It's like,

It can be a practice,

But I think it happens quite naturally.

The more you visit this inner space where it's just,

All right,

There's just presence,

The more you simply become aware of it.

Mindfulness practice is based on the same thing,

Actually being aware,

Not becoming unconscious.

You know,

If you're chewing your food,

A lot of people just chew their food,

They taste maybe the first three bites,

Right?

And then their mind's off somewhere else to actually be here in this moment,

To feel the chair under your butt,

Right?

To feel the breeze in the air,

To feel your own feelings,

The feelings that are going on in your body and not ignore them.

That's what the yoga of allowing is about,

Is just feeling what you happen to be feeling very consciously without making a story about it.

And even he would say,

Don't,

Not excess,

He's not saying,

Okay,

Be present every moment.

And just,

If it becomes this really intense focused thing,

Like a practice,

You're missing the point.

It's supposed to be very light.

It's a discovery,

Not a practice.

You're discovering what's actually here.

You're not trying to practice something to change behavior because changing behavior can leave the same egoic sense of identity in place.

It's now just this ego has got different behaviors,

Right?

So a lot of practices are simply just adjustments of behavior.

We don't care about adjusting behavior.

If you adjust the essence of who you are and lose the false sense of who you are,

Behavior will naturally adjust because that person isn't there anymore.

So Kamal says,

There's less identification with the thoughts in the head.

The patterns of the mind are being identified.

Something develops the ability to kill the thoughts right as they arrive.

Yes.

Very nice.

Yes.

That something is you.

And we don't have to use the word kill the thoughts because you can't kill them,

Right?

They don't last long enough.

By the time you're ready to kill them,

It's gone.

They don't have any life to be killed.

The more accurate way is,

The more compassionate way is that you simply,

You let them be what they are.

You know,

If the birds are flying south,

I don't get in their way.

Damn birds.

I don't get in their way.

They're just flying south.

That's the kind of detachment and letting go of thought.

Just the thoughts gone by.

There it is.

Sometimes they're useful.

You need them,

You know.

You know,

Like when that little thing taps you on the shoulder and says,

You left your keys inside or you know,

Don't forget to bring this.

Those little reminders.

It's useful.

So that something though,

That discerns the quality of the thought.

What's that?

That's you.

That's you.

You are the absolute consciousness.

When I say that which is aware of even the subtlest sense of being,

Isn't that you that's aware of it?

But that's you without you.

That's you without that fault sense of I.

As Ramana Maharshi put it,

The I removes the I and yet remains the I.

We're not trying to find some thing out there,

Some thing,

Right?

We're finding you.

And at the center of this whole thing is you.

So,

Dale says,

Yes,

Nice internet.

Where are you?

Looks like a minimal virtual background.

Funny seeing the void with birds chirping.

Yes,

There are a lot of,

A lot of wildlife.

I'm in Santa Fe,

New Mexico.

And this would be fun for you guys.

Let me just for a second,

I will turn off the green screen.

This is where I actually am.

But that green screen is just a video thing that allows you to drop out of the wires.

And so I just add in a background like that.

I could do this one.

I can be here.

I can be here.

I can be by the brick wall.

I could just be here.

Okay,

Kind of funny that.

So,

Jay said,

At first it felt like a focus of mind,

But when I pondered over what he said a little,

Every time the mind is focusing on future or past,

Yes,

The mind is nothing but the future of past,

The future and past.

So,

Whenever you refer to the mind,

You will be referring to the past,

Memories of the past or an anticipated future.

You will never be in the present moment.

But you,

What is it that's aware of mind?

Mind's not aware of itself.

Something actually conscious is aware of the flow of thoughts.

It's aware of the sensations.

What's that?

That's you.

Consciousness,

Unidentified with thought,

Just the pure being consciousness.

At least,

Yeah,

I love and accept myself just the way I am.

This EFT really teach me.

Yes,

Beautiful.

Yes,

Indeed.

And I've got a whole bunch of EFT courses up there now.

And as I mentioned,

I'll be doing the coach training coming up pretty soon.

We're barely present with what is happening.

Not sure I know what you mean by that,

Jay.

Mary says,

Felt the jolt of fear,

But this time I did not let it take me away from the meditation.

I just allowed it to flow through.

Thank you for clarifying that letting go is taking your hands off.

Beautiful.

Yeah,

There are several modalities that are based on just letting go.

And I've had many people from those come to me.

I learned them.

They're very good.

I've got no issue with it.

It's not a criticism,

But many,

Many,

Many people misunderstood the letting go because it's often presented.

You let go and it goes away.

This is how you get what you want.

It's kind of gotten mixed up with the law of attraction.

Rather than the real joy is when you let go,

You know peace.

That's the reward.

And if that brings external changes in the environment that are valuable,

Great.

But if not,

You got what you want,

Right?

What do we want?

Happiness.

If I got the happiness and I have it here inherent and it can't be lost,

Well then the things out there don't matter anymore.

Remember what Buddha said,

The problem is desire for something that doesn't exist and seeking happiness in any object whatsoever is seeking something that doesn't exist.

It's you.

He said,

I felt a peace with that answer.

Ah,

Great.

Wonderful.

Dale,

Still refer back to the Oneness Workshop you did in July 2019.

You did a great job guiding us through visualizing what it's like to be born and how separation must be learned based on that.

Ah,

Beautiful.

I think those are all of those,

The things I did on oneness,

Stepping into oneness,

The oneness experience are all available on,

I don't have my catalog yet,

But they are available.

Let me just put up the catalog for some courses.

This is how I make my living after all.

Linus,

I recently saw a map of the microwave background of the universe.

Research that looked at clockwise and counterclockwise spin from this beautiful yin yang pattern.

Off topic maybe,

But wow,

The universe reflects the nature of consciousness.

Materialistic,

Even very spiritual people still want to think in terms of neurology and shifting the grooves and that and that it's consciousness.

The universe does not possess any quality in and of itself.

It is a reflection.

Just like the flower does not have color,

Light does.

The universe has no qualities,

Consciousness does.

So you'll see it.

You'll see these patterns,

The synapse in the brain,

The mycelium of mushroom,

The roots of a tree.

You'll see these patterns reflected in the universe out there,

But that's not their source.

You are.

That's the difference between the non-dual and the materialistic approach or even the spiritual approach that has been tinged.

A lot of the modern spiritual stuff really bases on neuroplasticity.

It's all stuff about the brain as if consciousness was,

The brain was the source of consciousness.

If the brain is the source of consciousness,

We're all screwed.

There's nothing we can do.

It's totally nihilistic in nature,

But it isn't.

The universe is produced by consciousness,

Not the other way around.

This is the big switch that has to take place and thinking that it does gives rise to all suffering because now we seek out there what only exists in here.

By in here,

I mean in consciousness.

Somebody just gave me a donation.

Thank you.

Oh,

Looks like Jay.

Thanks Jay.

Thank you very much.

Kamal says the false is just identification with the thoughts.

Yes,

That's it.

A thought is a reduction of experience into a representational thing.

And so the sense of identity is simply when you identify with patterns of thought as if they were you rather than just conditioned patterns that happened because this nervous system and this environment happened to end up that way,

Then you literally take on the limitations of that sense of self and experience life through that lens,

Even though you're not actually limited.

So you kind of put yourself in that box until you realize,

Oh,

This is the box.

I'm not actually in this box.

This isn't really me.

Then the disidentification begins to take place.

And it speeds up once you get a sense that who you are is the formless consciousness.

Then no thought can stick anymore because every thought is a form.

And I'm the formless consciousness.

Jay said it was a continuation of what I was saying before,

But nevermind.

You already explained it.

Okay,

Good.

Roberto,

GP,

I'm feeling bad today regarding my fears from getting the virus.

I'm sorry to bother you with this stuff,

But it is so overwhelming as we speak.

Understood.

Yes.

I went out for lunch with my wife today and it feels like I could get the virus from the waiter,

Anyone walking down the street.

It's getting worse.

Like I feel at some point I will stop breathing.

Right.

Now you did have,

Remember that you had several days where that was in advance,

Right?

Now,

What brought about that advance?

All your focus of attention.

But these fears run deep and our nervous systems are habitual creatures,

Right?

So it's going to want to return to that kind of fear.

And it could have been,

You know,

Something deep inside of you that really is a fear that has nothing to do with the external thing.

It could be something from childhood.

We don't have to figure it out.

It'll reveal itself.

And then something in the environment that you may not have even been conscious of,

So subtle you didn't even know it happened,

Triggered something inside of you.

But what did you do?

What have you been practicing?

Simply being with it.

Right.

It's a thought that says at some point I will stop breathing.

Your body's not going to let you stop breathing.

Right.

Try holding your breath.

Try as long as you possibly can.

Eventually your body will go,

Okay,

Dummy,

Knock you out and breathe.

Right.

So notice what's a thought.

There is a feeling in your body of fear.

Even drop the idea of fear of getting the virus from someone.

Because that's a thought.

And keep the attention just on that feeling of fear.

Because that feeling of fear may be projecting itself on the current pandemic.

But it could actually be a three year old that just got spanked by your mother.

We don't know.

And we're not going to guess.

Right.

But we,

So it isn't necessarily even the virus that's causing the fear.

So just be present with that feeling like a loving father.

Like an understanding friend to a young child.

Right.

And say I'm going to get the virus.

Just,

That's just a thought.

The feeling came first,

The thought came later.

Which is just an explanation of this.

I suspect there's actually something much more going on there.

So just breathe into it.

Be with the fear.

The mind says I can get it from any place.

I'm going to stop breathing.

It's not true.

That's just what the mind says.

Just release,

Let yourself sink into it.

You're going to find that you are way more strong and powerful than you realize.

And your mind has been intimidating you think telling you you can't handle it.

But that's just the thought.

You already are handling it.

So the mind is actually too late.

Right.

I'm going to stop breathing.

Well,

Say okay,

I stopped breathing then.

The body really is going to stop breathing.

It's going to stop breathing.

Okay.

Just let go of it.

Right.

Whatever.

I'm just going to stay present here.

I'm just going to stay here with me.

Just feel the compassion in that.

Feel the tenderness.

Feel the willingness to be.

Just be persistent,

My friend.

This was,

There's some deeper stuff here than just the fear of the pandemic.

That is symptomatic.

That's not really what's going on.

Just relax into that.

Just let it either dissolve or unfold to you whatever it needs to tell you.

You just remain this enlightened witness,

This gentle peacemaker.

It's not trying to get away from anything,

Not trying to perpetuate anything.

You just,

You're just present.

Mary,

Bless you GP for your compassionate answers to everyone here where they are at.

Thank you for meeting us where we are.

You're so welcome.

You're so welcome.

It's like I have something in my throat that does not let me breathe.

Something is really trying to shut you down,

But you are breathing,

Aren't you?

It isn't actually shutting you down.

Just notice that.

And notice that it's a thought that's not going to let me breathe,

Not going to let me breathe,

But you're breathing.

So actually do more with your breath.

Slow it down.

Make it deeper.

Notice how that thought isn't true.

It's a fear of what might happen but it's not actually happening.

Just feel that.

Kamal says,

I am the quiet presence that knows the thoughts and disidentifies with them.

Yes,

Very true.

You're getting it.

You are it.

I am the quiet presence.

Yes.

Really let that sink in that that is the true I.

That's the real I.

The thought of I is an approximation.

With that sense of presence,

That is the I.

And actually that which is aware of the presence is the absolute I.

That is the self.

Not a self,

But the self.

David said,

I came up with the acronym for the soul as source of unconditional love.

Oh,

I like that.

Okay,

Consciousness.

The source of unconditional love.

Take consciousness.

Yes,

That's beautiful,

Dave.

Thank you.

Mary says,

Blessings to you,

Roberta.

So much support and love.

Yes.

So I'm so very delighted and honored really that you all will bring your hearts to me,

To this satsang,

I guess,

What it is actually.

And to just be in a place where you can just open up,

Be yourself and thus know greater freedom.

So I think I'll let it go for today.

Thank you all for being here and probably do this again tomorrow.

This is really nice.

Still have bird sounds and like I have to do some audio recordings.

So I'm going to find out how to make it even quieter for that.

Anyway,

You guys love you all.

Till next time.

Namaste.
