Life, Purpose And Meaning (Live Replay #32)

As the true nature of the Self is Realised as Life itSelf a clarity that is beyond words is present. The invitation of Life is to Realise this. What purpose and meaning truly are becomes Self-Evident and the source of lasting peace is known. This stream takes you on a journey to open to inner-knowing. The Fibre Optic Lamp image is a key metaphor that Phillip uses for Self Realisation. Please see Philip's other Live Replays for more insight and join the Nothing Special! Group for more support.

So welcome everybody,

Philip Wade here from North Yorkshire in England,

Broadcasting from the home of the Universal Studio,

Welcome to tonight's stream.

Felt called to speak about something that causes a lot of confusion really for humanity and it has the title Life,

Purpose and Meaning.

Life,

Purpose and Meaning.

And what I'd like to do,

Rather than kind of go straight in with insights,

Is really I want to take you on a journey tonight,

So that as I share some important insights around this question of life,

Purpose and meaning and what's it all about,

That having gone through this journey,

We'll be using some meditation exercises,

What I will say as we deepen into the stream,

Will I trust make more sense to you and become more evident and most importantly self-evident,

As in the true essence of the self,

As in self-realisation.

But before I do that I can just say that a couple more donations have come through from Blossom and Ruth and those are much appreciated.

So the key thing about this whole thing to do with life and meaning,

It looks very much like,

From the human perspective,

And this is where most of us sit with this,

Is that we're having a life in this form,

We're having a life and experiencing a life.

But the realisation of the self,

Self-realisation,

What eventually comes to be seen is that it's more than just having a life,

It is in fact that that which you truly are,

Listen carefully to this folks,

That which you truly are is life itself,

That which you truly are is life itself and that that life is in fact eternal.

Now this isn't about believing anything I say about self-realisation,

The great beauty of spiritual self-realisation is that it is beyond and before belief and that truth,

Ultimate truth is a realisation,

Not a belief,

Ultimate truth is a realisation,

Not a belief.

So the journey I want to take you on tonight is really from what I often refer to as the case of mistaken identity,

A journey from the case of mistaken identity to open up to a deeper awareness of that which you truly are and that starting to see that this body-mind experience that you have is something that literally that you have like you might have a car but it's actually not that which you are.

So the body-mind experience is something that you have like you have a car but it's not that which you are.

So to go on this journey I've got a series of exercises some of which you will,

Some of you have been here before and have done some aspects of this a number of times but like everything to do with self-realisation that one of the keys just like meditation is repetition because repetition leads to deepening and it's about depth and not quantity,

Self-realisation.

So let's get started on that journey and just before I do that I need to thank Nicole for that donation that's also come in so thank you very much and I can see several other people have also joined us Liz,

Michelle,

Lee,

Farnaz,

Christine and Agnieszka.

So let's go on this journey folks is from the case of mistaken identity to open up to deeper seeing and then as we do that I'll be offering some insights based upon and I'll be responding to things that you start to see as we go through these exercises.

So I'm going to start with one of my simple meditation exercises that I recommend that you can do anytime,

Anyplace and I want to see what starts to open up for you as we start to do these exercises and it's good to get a little bit of feedback in the comments whilst we do that.

So let's just close our eyes now for a moment and simply as you do that just simply notice what's here now.

That could be the breath,

It could be physical sensations,

It could be emotions,

It could be feelings,

It could be thoughts and just simply and silently accept everything that's here now without any judgment,

Without any judgment.

We're just going to simply allow whatever's here to be here and we're going to watch it like we're watching a movie from the inside and all of these phenomena,

Thoughts,

Feelings,

Sensations,

Emotions,

Breath,

They're all being observed without any judgment and as you do that we're just gonna ask now from the inside who am I?

Who am I?

And if something comes that's great and if it doesn't that's also fine.

Who am I?

And just be with that and now let's go a little bit further and ask inside who am I without memory?

Who am I without memory?

And just be with that.

Who am I without memory?

Good,

Good.

So what would be good now if anybody got anything from those first two questions just pop them in the comments there so you can open your eyes and just share what you got there.

So Tracy's already shared.

I'm the silent observer and Britta's got spirit and Lee has got a ray of light and Nicole got the lyrics from a song I am the great I am.

Now I don't know which question this was in relation to but it doesn't really matter.

The two different questions who am I and then who am I without memory are different aspects of the same meditation.

Sometimes people need that second part to start opening up.

The silent observer this is good Tracy because this is starting to see that there's a witnessing presence that I call the silent witness that is within us all and this silent witness or silent observer as Tracy has referred to it there.

One of the things that you will begin to see as you deepen into this is that actually that silent witness is always present and it's always untouched and unmoved by the appearances in life.

So let's just have a quick look at some of those others.

Britta got spirit so this is opening up to beyond the body mind that we all think and believe we are or that most of us do.

So this is good we're starting to see something deeper that is beyond the body and this is very important.

Lee got a ray of light and this is also beyond the body so we're starting to see again there's something more here that is before and beyond the body and then Nicole has said I am the great I am and this is starting to open up that the I am here or the great I am is referring to when I refer to on my fiber optic lamp metaphor the pure universal state of beingness.

If this is your body mind here one of these points of light as we open up into the meditative journey and start to look down the fiber optic we start to become aware of universal beingness that I also refer to as spheres of light and this universal beingness is not personal.

So this is starting to see what Nicole's pointing at there you could call this the great I am that would be a good good term for it.

Blossom is saying silence is the ultimate gift to myself.

Shanti got sharp silence and then joy and freedom so silence actually as we start to deepen into here we start to eventually see that there's something before and beyond even the state I am that's non-personal and we'll eventually see that that's what I refer to as infinite.

Silence infinite silence and then Nicola Lee adding an anti-observer of the lyrics and Lee added without memory I realized there was no judgment no dialogue and just acceptance perfect.

So without memory because we tend to live our lives from memory and imagination Lee recognized there was no judgment there and just acceptance also there was no dialogue and just going back to something that Shanti said Shanti got silence and then joy and freedom and actually as we start to deepen into this journey we start to see that joy and freedom are like the perfumes of the silence.

Good so this is good feedback and good opening up into that what I'm going to do now is take that same meditation very simple as it is further still and see what comes to you now.

So we're going to close our eyes again and simply become aware of what's here without any judgment and just notice and accept what's here now whatever the phenomena are just watching like that silent observer the silent witness and now asking inside who am I without belief who am I without belief just be with that who am I without belief who am I before this body who am I before this body just rest with that just be with it who am I before this good so you can open your eyes again and it'd be good to get a few comments again as we sort of deepen and explore this.

So Tracey's written in response to who am I without belief and she's written awareness excellent awareness without belief I am awareness awareness and what we're beginning to open here to recognizing is that as we travel down this fiber optic lamp from the identification and belief in the body mind to the state I am if the I am can be sensed there has to be something before that and that's what I refer to as infinite silence or infinite awareness or pure consciousness or true self and then Tracey put pure light and that was in response to before the body and this is indicating this part the spheres what I refer to as spheres of light or the state I am so the first response was actually deeper than that but actually all of these are one the body mind the state I am and the infinite silence or what refers what's referred to as the triality of consciousness the triality of consciousness infinite silence or awareness the state the pure universal state I am or spheres of light on body form so we're starting to see here with the answers the three parts the three the triality of consciousness Nicole dissolved into light energy which speaks to me of this part and Michelle got infinite awareness which is the totality of this it's not just like the battery here at the bottom that drives the light the infinite silence of the infinite awareness is everywhere Alex got without this body had a vision of a black hole and just space excellent hold on to that awareness Alex because I'm going to say more about that later just a black hole just space and actually I suspect you're trying to use words to describe it that's something that was probably beyond words and black hole and space my guess is are probably the nearest words that you could get to it sorry saying I creep intellectualizing this need to practice to feel it key here Christine is not to try to think about it and just simply open into the exercise the more that you do it sometimes you might I'm only asking the questions perhaps two perhaps maybe three times here but if you do this several times three four five times and then you and you do it several times a day eventually you will bypass the mind and you will start to allow that insight from awareness to arise so don't worry about it just keep practicing do it several times and do it several times a day and eventually you'll start to open up to this so shanti is saying silent joyous awareness for both good so we're starting to see here now this awareness that isn't just like the power of the battery here but everywhere and the perfumes of this awareness are peace joy peace joy gratitude grace these kinds of things the perfume of silence the perfume of awareness is joy is peace is grace is gratitude and I got simply this came first then space no thing just pure space good so these are different words this infinite silence or infinite awareness is what's referred to as the isness of the universe the isness and isness is before beingness and so we can also refer to it as just this just this it could also be referred to as no thing as anak has put there no thing things have limitations are defined by space time form and contrast whereas no thing has no limit and eventually you'll see it's before and beyond time and space so this is good we're starting to really open up here lee saying i've been going through a release today so the first question i was just aware of intense sensations in my solar plexus and root chakra and that's completely okay lee one of the should we say added on benefits of what is a very simple meditation is actually anything that no longer serves you will also can also become up and be dissolved by that awareness as i explain at length in the replay number six transmuting fear into love so that's also fine it's okay i guess got to be an amateur too just like i said to christine this meditation that i've been using is so simple but it can really be used anytime anyplace and if you need to repeat it four times five times do that and several times throughout the day and eventually you will find you will bypass the thinking mind and you will start to open to awareness so it's okay don't worry about what others are getting here what's important is what your journey is lisa when you asked without the body i was aware i was observing the sensations and this is very important so the but even the body and the beingness of the body is observed and this is very important in terms of self-realization and as we'll eventually going to get to the title of the stream tonight life meaning and purpose so this seeing this witnessing presence this silent observation sees the body sees the state i am and is even before those is even before those so we're getting some good interaction here and we're starting to open up more deeply so there's more here there's more here than just this body mind and granted yes everybody's necessarily getting insights about that's okay as you open up to this and you use this exercise regularly because it's so simple and so quick you will eventually bypass the body mind and you'll start to see more deeply so what i want to do is one more exercise with this and then with the benefit of that and the insights people have been getting getting i should say i will start to point out what this all means in the context of life purpose and meaning okay so you're ready to go again folks just close your eyes one more time and just one more time simply noticing what's here without any judgment simply allowing whatever's here to be here and as you just watch from the inside and witness see what emerges with this who am i before i am who am i before i am who am i before and now ready for this one even if it seems a bit strange who am i before meaning good good so once again i'm gonna ask if anybody got anything in relation to those little exercises and share that in the comments and i can see lee has made a donation so thank you very much for that lee that's much appreciated and tracy has written one with sauce one with sauce and this is exactly what using the metaphor here we have the body mind experience the pure state i am which is not personal and the infinite silence or infinite awareness or source and this is the triality of consciousness and it is indeed accurate we are one with that we are one with that not separate from it but one from legal space and i think that's okay as long as we clarify that to not just physical space but an infinite space an infinite emptiness an infinite openness an infinite field of energy infinite silence or infinite awareness this this in this context this would be the space beyond space and anna got rest is the feeling that came deep rest silence this is really nice also anna because i'll often say in the infinite silence meditation just rest into this space it is as i've said many times over many streams now an effortless presence an effortless grace and effortless stillness and effortless silence so this is what he was was being opening to and sensing and being seen there beautiful and blossom got no one nowhere no thing and felt a deep gratitude and burst into tears of joy fantastic blossom no one nowhere and no thing are all great descriptions of the infinite awareness the infinite silence that is everywhere and nowhere in particular is also no thing because it doesn't have any limitations things have limitations of in space and time whereas no thing is completely limitless and so no one in particular no identity no identification no attachment no belief all of which are the causes of suffering so when one thing is no one and no thing and nowhere gratitude is one of the natural perfumes of the infinite silence or the infinite awareness so i'm not surprised that you burst into tears of joy because that is a touch of that awareness and a seeing of the truth behind it and as i've also said joy is one of the perfumes of infinite silence or infinite awareness or infinite consciousness so that's beautiful blossom i really like it and michelle got peace lack of worry floating and this is definitely a deepening and a seeing and i'm moving into that space beyond space of awareness no worry the perfume of peace arising from that awareness and a sense of just eventually that even that sense of floating will disappear and will just be complete stillness and silence and tobias got energy of love and pure light good so again the energy of love love is one of the perfumes of infinite silence and you are that pure light is also one of the first expressions of that so we can all see from some three very simple meditations and rumors for empty and free empty and that's good because that is also pointing to the no thingness and it's also pointing to an emptying of the conditioning that we all experience in the body mind and being empty or free of that free of that and when that conditioning and we're free of that then emptiness openness stillness silence grace peace joy gratitude freedom are all there so i like that rumor perfect don't worry maria we're going to be going a good bit longer yet we've been doing various meditation exercises to start to open people up to start to see there's more here than this body mind and on our little metaphor here if one of your body mind is one of the points of light then before that is the state i am before that is the state i am and that's not personal just i am the infinite i am i call call it all spheres of light and this is the pure light bit that people get and then before that which sees the i am the infinite i am is the infinite awareness the infinite consciousness the infinite silence that is everywhere and nowhere in particular good so those little exercises there were three very simple meditations there and quite a lot of people shared insights that were pointing to that that opening to that and that gives me a great context now rather than me just telling you it's it starts to become much more experiential as you use this meditation exercise along with the infinite silence meditations on my profile and in the nothing special group it starts to become experiential and that's very important because as it becomes experiential you don't need belief it becomes a knowing and it becomes an experiencing i can just see another donations come through there from nicole so thank you very much pretty much appreciated appreciated so now having done these exercises and we can people are starting to open to and see there's more here than this body mind that even something a presence that's before even the state i am this is what i've referred to across many streams now i think this is stream 32 as infinite silence infinite awareness infinite consciousness true self source essence universe whatever labels you want to give it now the key words and i though i use most there are infinite silence and the reason i use those words is because that's how it transpired in the realization and it chose those words to articulate and expresses itself through the form that we call philip which is one of those points of light there when actually even that all of our forms came from the assassins this infinite silence let's just look at those two words it's infinite that means it is completely and utterly unlimited in every conceivable way and it's also silence infinite silence an infinite field of energy that is before and beyond all phenomena and this silence isn't just the absence of sound it's the absence of every form of vibration you see everything is vibration in this body here this ring i have my finger this chair of satin the atoms the molecules in there are all vibrations the thoughts in your head are vibrations the chemical movements in your body are vibrations so this infinite silence if you like is the infinite essence to which all vibrations return just like sound returns to silence every vibration returns to infinite silence and infinite silence is also like the infinite vibration just like when you see a machine that's moving very very fast but when you see a machine that's moving very very fast it looks completely still this is a kind of pointing to what infinite silence is it is of infinite energy infinite awareness and it's different little contractions of that that create the universal state i am or spheres of light and then infinite expressions in body minds planets stars everything like that so all of that is one within itself and everything is an expression of that everything now this infinite silence so let's we're going to start to get to now what does this point us towards when it comes to what is life what is meaning and what is purpose this infinite silence is beyond and before time space form being and contrast is infinite and it's silent it's before and beyond all phenomena and i included in that time and space and what this is is a bit like a contextual field from which everything because this is no thing everything arises now in the same way listen carefully to what i'm about to say but you cannot have sound without silence just reflect upon that you cannot have sound without silence you need the backdrop of silence to experience sound but you can have silence without sound you can have silence without sound and infinite silence is is not only the complete absence of sound it's the absence of all vibration it has no specific limitations or qualities and what this points us towards in the context of life is that as that is realized or the term self-realization it will be seen that you in fact are that infinite silence silence we collectively are that all is that and all of the myriad and infinite expressions in all of these body minds experiences are simply expressions of that in infinite variety in infinite variety now this contextual field of infinite silence the source the essence because there is no time no space no form no being no thing there is no way in which it can experience itself because for experience we must have form of in for instance our bodies time linear time contrast and beingness and so for experience because the infinite silence cannot experience itself what it does if you like is creates first beingness and then form the triality of consciousness and also in that same moment the experience of time and space all of it here now all of it here now there's no limits to the infinite and thus it comes to experience itself and so when it comes to life in this form this form of philip this form of tracy this form of blossom this form of evening grace this form of magnesia the whole raison d'etre of it doing that is so this can come to know itself in its own experience it can come to know itself through its infinite expressions come to know itself in its own experience that is profoundly important what i've just said that it comes to know itself in its own experience and as you go through life and you deepen and you deepen onto and you start to open to why am i here why am i having this body mind experience it is for the purposes of the infinite itself to know and experience itself in your form and then not only that by virtue of you opening to and recognizing that actually you know what there has to be something more here than this body mind that allows that infinite essence to realize itself to recognize itself to come to know itself which wouldn't be possible without this body mind experience because there is nothing there no time no space no anything and by virtue of the creation of time space form being and contrast and then the inward look that we do through meditation we come to the realization that we are in fact that essence not personally that essence but collectively that essence and so we could say that that the universe the infinite silence the infinite source the infinite consciousness chose or to express itself in your form and come to know itself in infinite variety an insight that came to me about this using these were words direct from the science what came was this variety variety variety is my cause let me say that again variety is my cause and the my here is the infinite i my it seeks infinite expression infinite variety and in each of those expressions it presents the opportunity for life as life as eternal life to come to know itself and realize itself as that life eternal which would not be possible as i say without the triality of consciousness of the infinite essence the pure universal state i am and form and time space and contrast so this infinite essence is actually before and beyond meaning it's before and beyond meaning what that means is it's a similar way of saying you cannot have sound without silence you cannot have meaning with without the complete absence of meaning you cannot have meaning without the complete absence of meaning and so as far as life itself eternal life itself and we are that is concerned you could say it is beyond or before meaning both would be the same thing beyond or before meaning and its purpose is thus to come to know itself in its own experience and life therefore becomes its own purpose and meaning wrapped into one life becomes its own purpose and meaning wrapped into one that's another way of saying life itself is before and beyond meaning and then in the individual expressions your body mind my body mind and then we create specific individual meaning by our inner choices so meaning is not intrinsic to the universe meaning is individualized in each body mind two people can see completely the same experiences and situations and assign completely different meanings and that's only possible by the variety created and the conditioning that we've gone through so we create our own meaning and in each of these individual expressions of infinite variety infinite variety we get the opportunity for infinite expression and infinite meaning and infinite purposes and we could say the universe has chosen to express and experience itself in this infinite variety and thus in each of our forms and that's how important your expression in this body mind you're having right now is the universe itself the infinite awareness itself has chosen this and the inner choice therefore is to realize that in fact you are one with that you are one with that so life is its own purpose it is its own meaning and they are both wrapped into one and your specific purpose is to realize that you are life itself your specific purpose is to realize experientially that you are life itself self and then rather beautifully as that realization starts to open up in you and you see that experientially how life then chooses to express itself in your form how life then chooses to express itself in your form naturally arises and that will be different from one person to the next so as i've said before on these streams if you'd have asked me 23 years ago what i'd be doing now it wouldn't have been this because at that time i was a chartered civil engineer a director of a consultant engineering business and quite happy with how things were going in that life and now 23 years later on i mean begun a meditative journey at that time rather amazingly i find myself sat here sharing these insights with you couldn't have predicted that couldn't have predicted that and that arose naturally wasn't something that i was consciously aware of back then so as that deepens and as the realization flowers it may take many forms it may be simply beautifully being you know a great parent it may be being a musician it may be writing a book it might be doing a painting it might be doing beautiful dance it might be doing endless things that are necessary for life on this earth but as long as it's coming from this space of awareness none of these expressions are any greater or any lesser than the other it is the following of the heart space of silence in its natural expression in your form why are you here you are here to realize this and express that naturally and this is your gift to the world the greatest gift you can give to the world is to realize this and then let that natural expression flow through you unabated joy peace grace and let the world embrace that in its unique and indeed infinite variety and this then becomes a very clear raison d'etre and purpose and meaning that is both general universal in that life is its own meaning and purpose but specifically and uniquely expressed in your form how beautiful is that how beautiful is life you are life eternal and i remember quite a few years ago reflecting upon how to start to articulate this to people and i had this phrase in my head it was in the beginning in the beginning and i was actually on a flight back from a holiday and i thought okay so what will i say what comes next and i closed my eyes went into meditation and the instant i closed my eyes the words came from the silence were was the end in the beginning was the end what that means is there is no separation between the source and all of its expressions and as far as that infinite essence the infinite silence is called is is concerned all of it is here now now you'll actually find this in various traditions spiritual traditions not that i'm skilled in any eastern traditions as i've said before but in the um the mists of time one of the expressions of that that comes from uh early christian traditions is referred to and there's two greek letters here hopefully you can see them whoops i got these um in where was it creed and these greek letters this is the alpha and the omega and that's the beginning that's like a and z in our alphabet the alpha and the omega now it's said in the christian traditions the alpha and the omega i am the alpha and the omega all one and they are not separate the alpha and the omega are one like this not separate the beginning and the end are one and as far as the infinite is concerned all of it is here now and what we experience in this physical life we appear to be going on a journey from a to z or from the alpha to the omega but actually as we open up to the realization of the self we can see that we are both the beginning and the end all of it here now i can see creases you're a home maria i thought you know that was a greek surname it was actually at the markets um in hania i got this i'm sure you will know hania so that's where i got that and i thought i must get that i'll use that on a live stream someday so whilst we experience linear time actually as far as the absolute is concerned it is all here now and it's seeking to express itself in infinite variety in your form and that is how important you are and so you have the opportunity to personally ascribe meaning in any way in any shape and any form that you want and so you become part of that and you realize that you are in fact one with all of that so that's quite a lot of insight there and that's why i did the stream tonight in the order that i've been doing it rather than just starting with that but to actually see help you see that with the insights and so forth you are getting from those meditations that you are in fact life itself and that it is in fact its own purpose and meaning and so the eternal question that humanities had is actually rather simple you are life and this body mind is something that you have like you have a car but it's not that which you are and you are here to realize you are life until i then express that life eternally and infinitely and in a specific and unique way in your body mind experience it's profoundly simple profoundly simple and it doesn't require you to believe a simple single word i say but because as this is realized and you are here to realize this all of this that i'm pointing at tonight becomes self-evident it becomes self-evident so it doesn't require belief so i'm just going to have a quick look down the comments because i can see there's been lots of comments and i'll go with the last one and then i'll check on the others and actually so when apparent individual in form passes do we simply return to infinite silence or there are there layers beyond this form to pass through that's a big question the short answer to that is that there's a number of elements to this process key firstly is to realize the self and as the self is realized with that process the dissolution of the emotional body or also known as the pain body and as that gets dissolved which comes from belief in the case of mistaken identity desire also gets dissolved now until belief and desire which are really just different words for the same thing then there's always an impetus an energy a sense of need to experience more phenomena and so there are realms i won't go into this in great depth but there are realms that are called the astral realms and before that the causal realms which as a physical body dies will go into experiences in those realms until those cycles of belief and desire which are one thing are ultimately resolved and that's why people talk about in buddhism for instance and in other circles about past lives what is happening is a cyclical process which is coming to the realization of the self and ultimately dissolution of belief and desire and when that belief and desire is completely and utterly resolved one eventually will pass through into the silence this may take many incarnations and there may be periods within these other realms astral and causal that's a long um sure there's a lot more to that but in essence that is the summary of it key is to open up to this realization the emotional body will will get start to get dissolved desire gets dissolved the need for more things more experiences get dissolved and ultimately we come to resolution and dissolution in the silence and again do not need to believe a single word i say about that as you deepen into this it becomes more and more evident so that's a short answer to your question so you say ah yes that makes sense yes thank you my friends daughter passed last night my friend's daughter passed last night so hence okay i can understand the question and obviously from a human perspective and i'm sure for your friend that is a sad experience right now but what i can say and that needs to be recognized and honored but what i can say is that although her physical form has passed she is not lost to the universe she has merely passed into another phase of life she has merely passed into another phase of life so we pass on our condolences too because we become so close to our loved ones but it's also important to recognize that life has yes in the physical form has come to a close but life itself has not anyway i need to pop back and see if there's any other questions i don't know how far they'll allow me to scroll back that's as far as i can go so okay so there's a few wow that is profound from tracy saying very important well it's from christine evening grace guardians of manifestation we are that judy saying this is the vital reciprocity of dear oneness in all in this moment yeah that's all good and maria saying as a friend says including everything including excluding absolutely joe is saying having some trouble with inner choices right now joe for you listen to my live stream replay trust the heart it's on my profile trust that will help you with that and tracing beautifully said thank you thank you agnes care for that lucky for us comment maria singing my case is express itself like water in so many directions organically we create flow but there is a belief somewhere i need to land in one direction so the key here for you maria is to be open to deepen into that realization and all of that belief and that the core belief is the belief in separation from this essence and that manifests in infinite right in all beliefs are simply subsets of that one mistaken belief so as you open into awareness all of the beliefs will be dissolved okay various yeses and perfects so good so we've been on a journey for the last hour and 20 minutes we use three very simple versions of the who am i meditation to open you up there are deeper versions of mutations on my timeline seven versions of the infinite silence meditation from 15 minutes fully guided through to an hour and a half in steps and each one has exactly the same guidance in but there's just greater pauses so use those many people on these streams have used those to great effect and it's really been opening up and you don't need me to tell you that they will tell you about themselves and you'll find those experiences in that group nothing special there's also replays of 14 or 15 live streams available in a playlist all about self-realization look out for those you can see those in the group as well so let's just close our eyes then folks we'll have a brief meditation and then i will play our song so just closing our eyes and just like the earlier meditations simply silently being aware of what's here now sensations emotions emotions breath feelings just simply silently watching all of these like a movie from the inside all the phenomena just being watched witnessed they just come and they go and now without trying to visualize or do anything at all just be open from your heart to connect with the energy of the spheres the energy of the spheres or spheres of light and we'll just be silent for a minute or two now as you're opening deeper and deeper this energy of the spheres or spheres of light is just like the pure the universal state I and even this I am is seen or witnessed from a deeper essence essence that I call a silent witness it sees the I am and all the other phenomena and now this silent witness itself is dissolving welting merging becoming one with the ocean ocean just like a sliver of ice welting becoming one with this water is actually a potion of infinite silence infinite awareness infinite silence in silence you will realize truth truth you will realize you are silence infinite silence be still unknown unknown this this rarified atmosphere of silence transforms transmutes all that you are not effortlessly silently and now just remain in that meditative space and let the beautiful track heart song transport you deeper into the silence you folks thank you for being here it says we've got 172 people here which is marvelous thank you very much for joining us for this stream life purpose and meaning hopefully this little journey that I said right at the outset that will take you on has been beneficial opened you up to see more than just this body mind experience and to open to the awareness the realization that you are life itself that you are life itself and that this body mind is one of infinite expressions of life but that you are the infinite silence the infinite awareness the infinite consciousness itself and all of this is created and expressed by that for the purpose of coming to know itself in its own experience and as that is seen as that is realized purpose and meaning become one and you are then open for your purpose to realize this and then express it uniquely in your form because it as life has chosen to express itself in this form and that is how important your expression in this form is for more on

Fabulous inquiry questions on this stream I was taken into a really deep space of peace. Many thanks 🙏😇🙏

So many pointers!!

This particularly stood out for me. That is to follow my HEART space of SILENCE in its natural expression (joy etc) and to let this flow through me and THIS is my gift to the world.

That THIS, comes through my piano music. Realising it led me to the calling to become a teacher here on Insight timer to share my music to the world.
This journey back to playing piano resulted due to piano related trauma, was not my intention nor was in my plan.

Thank you very music Philip. All these would not be possible without your pointings, friendship and support. Joining your group (Nothing Special with Philip Wade) and sharing my experiences and receiving guidance and support from you played a huge part in my spiritual growth.

Much appreciation and gratitude to you. Thank you Philip🙏😇🙏

I received some beautiful insights during this. Thank you.
I saw your fiberoptic lamp from both ends today; before I had always seen it from the end of the strands looking in, but today I saw my own expression from the inside, out. Then I flowed between the two! Xx

This livestream was life changing for me- it takes the pressure off of wishing my current situation (physical disability) was different. This brings me to acceptance- it has to be this way- I just need to experience it.
And appreciate the beauty of our uniqueness in it’s truest sense.
Deepest gratitude, thank you Philip 🙏🏼
