Welcome,
Nice to be here with you.
Today I'll be guiding you back to where it all began,
Back home,
Back to your true nature,
Your true self,
The aspect of you that is beyond the temporary body and mind,
Part of you that is eternal,
Untouchable and beyond words or definitions,
A place you never left.
Even a subtle glimpse of our true nature can bring a sense of peace,
Equanimity,
Freedom and joy.
We come back home not to escape life or deny our human experience,
But to live more fully,
More freely and more fearlessly.
Being human can often feel so vulnerable,
But its temporary nature makes each experience all the more precious.
Remembering the impermanent,
Eternal aspect of our self brings a sense of peace,
Safety,
Joy and a happiness that flows from within,
Regardless of our circumstances,
Because we know and remember that as God,
Consciousness,
The Absolute,
Spirit,
Love,
Life or whatever name you may call your true nature,
We are untouchable,
Whole and always free.
So find a comfortable position,
Take a few slow,
Deep breaths,
Relaxing the body,
Calming the mind and releasing any tension.
Visualize a dial representing your mental activity and just turn it down to whatever feels right.
Move your attention back and down,
Zooming out from your experience.
To recognize our true nature,
We must observe our experience with fresh eyes,
With the ultimate beginner's mind.
Imagine now that you were just born in this exact moment,
As if you just came into existence right now.
Any experience that arises is a complete mystery.
Let's perhaps make one exception.
You can understand and follow my words.
Notice any sounds.
You don't know what it is.
You have no concept of an outside world.
Any sounds are just a mysterious experience.
Notice any physical sensations.
Again,
A complete mystery.
You have no concept of a body,
Just another mysterious experience.
Be curious.
Look with eyes of wonder.
Notice any thoughts.
Just another strange and mysterious experience.
No inside,
No outside.
Everything arising in the same place,
Here,
In this space of awareness.
Suspending all concepts,
Beliefs,
Labels,
And frameworks for understanding what's arising.
Just observing your direct,
Immediate experience in each moment.
You have no concept of being a person who is sitting and meditating,
Or of being in a particular location.
You just popped into existence in this exact moment and are observing with curiosity and wonder whatever is happening.
Sounds,
Sensations,
Thoughts,
All just mysterious experiences.
Take a few moments to observe your experience with fresh eyes,
Going only by your direct experience in this moment.
What's really here?
Just a continual flow of mysterious experiences.
Just experiencing.
Just what's here,
Right now.
Going only by your direct experience in this moment.
Where are you?
Who are you?
What is happening?
What is reality?
What are you?
Gently wrapping up our inquiry.
Taking a few slow,
Intentional breaths.
Becoming aware of the points of contact between your body and the surface beneath you.
Becoming aware of the room.
Becoming aware of the context of your precious human life.
Thank you for joining me on this journey today.
I hope you were able to get in touch with your true nature,
But if not,
That's also okay.
Trust that whatever happened or didn't happen was exactly what was meant to.
Remembering our true nature can happen in an instant,
But it's often a gradual process,
And different pointers work for different people.
Trust that your process of self-recognition,
Self-realization,
Of remembering who you are will unfold in divine timing.
In the meantime,
Just enjoy this beautiful,
Precious human experience.
May you be happy.
May you be at peace.
May you experience joy and freedom.
May you recognize and embody your true nature as God,
Consciousness,
Source,
The universe,
Unconditional love.
Wishing you peace and ease today,
My friend.
