Transcript

Do not hold one single thought or shape in the mind.

Everything coming up,

Going away.

You are not here to watch thoughts.

If you do not hold to any thought that is presented through the mind,

It is totally empty.

You will naturally come to that recognition of the formless,

That vastness in which thoughts blip momentarily.

If they are not picked up,

They have no choice but to subside into oblivion.

So there is nothing to do here now,

Nothing to prove.

Make no effort.

Nothing you see is of benefit to you.

Nothing is needed that the mind presents.

None of that is needed for you.

Rest in awareness as awareness itself.

That is it.

There is no time in awareness.

Awareness cannot be received.

Do not touch any idea of waiting for something.

Again,

Do not touch any idea that you are waiting or expecting something.

You are here as here-ness itself.

Nothing more.

There is no shape.

There is no waiting.

There is nothing,

No form that you need to be concentrating upon.

Don't give emptiness a form.

The form of emptiness is emptiness itself.

If what we call mind is shaking,

It is not your business.

There is nothing to go forward to,

Or backward to.

There is nothing to do now.

You are not being offered any instruction to do,

Or to achieve anything at all.

Let it all pass.

Whatever comes,

Goes.

There is no need to wait to see if they go or not.

Be aware.

Be aware of the awareness itself.

If there is a sense of any restlessness,

It is nothing at all.

The mind is seeking a little attention.

You are not here for that now.

Abandon everything.

And swiftly.

There are no stories,

No histories.

Do not hold any sense of a shape for yourself.

That would only be a construct.

Therefore,

You must leave everything.

Pay attention only to that which is here,

Uncapped.

Therefore,

There is no effort.

To recognise what you are,

You need not make one step in any direction.

Distance cannot take you there.

Journeys cannot take you.

You need not be taken.

Simply don't go with the mind.

Spontaneously you will notice.

Or you will simply know.

And this knowing and being are one.

Any idea,

Such as any technique to reach silence and peace,

These are false.

There are no techniques.

There are no tools.

There is no distance.

Touch anything,

And you begin to move in the realm of mind.

Don't touch it.

Leave it.

Pay attention only to yourself.

You without you,

Meaning you without any shape or idea about yourself.

Impersonal.

Remain only as consciousness.

Everything else is a cloud passing.

But the infinite sky is not passing,

The sky of pure awareness.

How simple.

If you hear my words,

They are simply appearing in what you are already.

They have nowhere to take you.

Don't give this to the mind.

If a sense of tiredness or drowsiness is coming,

Notice it is coming from the mind itself also.

You are not that.

Awareness can never be tired.

It can never be bored,

Nor excited,

Nor hopeful,

Nor busy.

Awareness cannot be disturbed.

It cannot be divided.

Pure spirit intelligence being,

This is your true place.

Mind appears here like a butterfly,

Flying in front of your face.

It gets your attention to pull some shape,

But for the one who sees,

It is too late.

Even destruction now is merely a thought.

Nothing touches awareness.

Here I am pointing only to What Is,

Not to what is to become.

There is no becoming for the Truth.

Land again in your own Self.

And this manifest world will not trouble you.

Be that dancing consciousness,

Which at the same time is ever still.

Get used to your own emptiness,

Your effortless being.

Finding that,

Recognising that which I am pointing to,

The thought activity becomes weak for you.

It will not trouble you.

Let everything play in this dance of existence,

But you remain in your stillness,

Even while your body is dancing.

I am consciousness dancing inside my infinite stillness.

To know this is freedom.

To doubt it is bondage.

Now I am the consciousness roaming to find the one in whom I can take rest.

Will I pass your house?

God says,

Make your house into a temple of emptiness,

And I will come and live there.

Here is the secret.

Knowing what you are,

Every thought can come now,

But nothing can stick.

Knowing what I am,

I need no walls,

I need no room.

Everything comes,

Everything goes.

I remain the same always.

When you see with the true eyes,

With the true heart,

You may say,

All things come and go.

Situations,

Circumstances,

They come and go.

Time passes,

But I never change.

Age after age I am here.

The unchanging one.

Before first,

I am.

You will know this.

When you leave everything,

Including the idea of yourself,

You will find this.

This Truth,

Beyond even conviction,

Prevails in you.

The one who is open,

Receives.

The one who is hungry,

Eats.

The one who doubts,

Delays.

The one who sees is free.

Time after time,

I share this with you,

But you send me away,

Choosing the ephemeral,

The momentary.

You fall under the delusion that you are time,

Therefore you are passing also.

Everything about this day will pass,

Except one.

Find this one who will not pass,

Who will not become yesterday.

I am eternally present in the heart of the one who recognises me.

Sayeth the Lord.

And I will never forsake you.

I do not prevent myself from experiencing anything.

Let everything come.

It is my dance.

For in the field of the phenomenal,

I alone prevail as the unchanging one.

Find this Truth in yourself.

Now is not the time to concentrate upon anything at all.

As I said,

Hold no image in your mind.

Remain as the imageless one.

Is this a task?

Find the secret of perceiving all things,

Experiencing whatever comes and goes,

But never being carried away.

Enjoy without attachment.

Let the senses do their work in their own laws.

Play inside your infinite stillness,

But tell no one.

Then you will know,

My words will pass,

May pass,

But where they come from,

Where they come from will never pass.

They will never grow old.

They will never need to be refreshed.

This is the ocean of the Lord Supreme.

This short time together is about to come to an end.

But what I have been sharing with you will never end.

Blissful is the one in whose heart this is seen.

All things will leave,

Except this.

Know this.

Confirm this.

Be one with this.

Bless each and every one of you,

That the mirror of these words will reveal to you your true place,

Your unchanging nature.

Find and confirm this,

And be happy and free.

And to know this in this life is to be free for all time.

Let this life be for freedom.
