Welcome to this guided meditation.

Let's travel together today in this timeless moment and experience the wonder of life.

Let's start by taking a deep breath in and relax all thinking.

Ah,

Thoughts coming and going,

Always.

Right now there's nothing for you to do.

If possible for you,

You might be able to stop just shortly.

All thoughts.

Poof,

Gone.

And just take a nice and comfortable position.

You don't need to sit in a certain way.

If it feels nice to lay down,

Just lay down.

This moment is created for you by life,

By this wonder.

This mysterious life right now is giving you the opportunity to relax fully.

To put things down again and again.

Nothing for you to do right now.

Please let this sink in.

Nothing,

Nothing for you to do right now.

Ah,

Nice.

Thoughts might come up again,

Of course.

All your plans,

Things you need to do.

Not now.

Right now in this timeless moment,

There's nothing for you to do.

Let this sink in again.

Sometimes it's truly necessary to fully confirm within yourself to do nothing.

To allow your whole system to just be as it is.

Free,

Open,

Spacious.

And this might not be felt right now,

Since probably there has been a lot of activity before listening to this message.

So let's start by softening.

Softening the whole perception of life.

And also your body.

That might be helpful as well.

To just feel all sensations.

And just relax.

Soften.

Maybe there's some tension.

Just bring some softness towards the tension in your body.

And witness the breathing.

You know the drill.

You probably have been listening to more guided meditations.

But know that right now there's this opportunity to fully awaken to this moment.

To experience the wonder,

The wonder of this mysterious life.

But how?

Thoughts coming in,

Thinking,

Thinking,

Thinking.

How,

How,

How?

How am I able,

As this human vehicle,

To witness life in its purest beauty,

Wonder,

Mystery?

How?

For now,

Leave all thinking behind.

Go beyond thoughts.

Each time a thought arises,

Just as it were step backwards.

Backwards in this timeless thought.

Just for the purpose of this practice,

Leave all thinking.

Go beyond,

Beyond,

Beyond.

Another thought coming in.

Where does it arise from?

And does it really come in?

And where would it even land?

Let's find out how to fully experience this pure wonder,

This amazing mystery of life.

And meanwhile,

Keep softening your whole experience.

It's truly okay to take no action,

To put things down over and over again.

As if being on a train,

Putting down your luggage.

You don't want to hold on to this,

While being on the train.

Good.

And it might help again to listen to this word,

Soft,

Softness.

What does that change in your whole perception?

Soft.

Softer and softer.

It is okay to be totally soft.

It's okay to be vulnerable even.

It's okay to just be as you are.

What you are is soft and simultaneously super strong.

It's all,

It's all included.

You as yourself,

Beyond the feeling of there being this person that needs to control and take action.

Beyond that feeling.

Ah,

There is this spaciousness.

And this spaciousness,

One could say,

Is love,

Is soft.

And it's such a beautiful discovery.

There's this openness,

Clarity.

And these are all words pointing towards that which is totally stable,

Unchanging.

What is being communicated here over and over again is the stability that's always within each experience.

Something within all these experiences that are seemingly happening is just okay,

Stable,

Untouched.

So right now in this moment,

Are you able as this human vehicle to experience more softness?

Ease.

Peace.

And even a little bit of freedom within that.

Can you?

Just tune in and soften your whole experience.

My thoughts arise,

Just go beyond for the purpose of this practice.

I'll be quiet for a bit.

Keep softening.

Keep softening.

There's nothing for you to do right now.

You might want to give yourself permission to fully enjoy this moment which is created by life for you,

For your specific human vehicle.

Life is showing you that it's okay and maybe even time,

But always timelessly so,

To rest deeply.

To fully remember that it's okay,

That your natural state is restful,

Is at ease.

Life,

As it were,

Is asking you to fully enjoy.

Fully remember that what you are is very,

Very peaceful,

Is so peaceful and radiant at the same time.

And the feeling of being a person subsides more and more,

Which you might be able to notice right now.

Ahh.

It's coming and going,

But there's no clinging.

And maybe there is at times,

But then again there's this reminder to just let all thoughts be as they are.

All emotions,

No clinging,

No interference whatsoever.

It's all about you,

You,

You are able to deeply experience that there's something within this whole experience that isn't moving,

That's not interfering,

Not manipulating anything.

Check this right now for yourself.

Go within and see if you can find this spaciousness,

This openness,

This clear,

Beautiful and always warm and open space.

Where there's truly nothing left of you as this identified person,

Nothing,

Totally gone.

And for some this might sound a little scary maybe.

Whoa,

No person.

No longer experiencing myself as I always do.

Whoa,

How would that be?

Suddenly no longer believing all your believing.

Simply knowing from deep within that all you ever thought to be true isn't true.

Thoughts interfering again for the purpose of this practice again.

Ah,

Leave all thinking.

And what remains?

What remains when no thought is interfering,

When no feeling inside of the body is interfering.

When there's just this clear state,

This open,

Spacious,

Even warm,

Soft and one could say loving space.

But also beyond space,

Just open.

Ah,

Can you sense this?

And most likely you'll go back into your day meeting people,

Interacting with people,

Being all by yourself,

Thoughts coming in,

Talking to others,

Emotions within this body.

And then might it be possible since you're listening right now that automatically a reminder arises within that timeless moment where suddenly all opens up.

This spaciousness,

This open,

Warm and loving space where thoughts are left behind.

Ah,

Nice.

Hi,

Are you there?

Who are you really?

And what you're saying?

It's beautiful words arising.

And simultaneously there's this knowing,

This deep knowing that none of these words are truly important.

Since beyond these words there's something new to be found.

And in a sense not new since this is already always the case.

But it seems to be so that many human vehicles,

So to speak,

These human beings are so identified as being this human being.

Many of these seem to forget that the mystery of life is always within each experience.

That this mysterious play is always playing its divine play one could say.

Such a divine play,

Such a mystery,

Such a wonder.

And there you are again talking to somebody,

Thinking that you are here talking to somebody over there.

Ah,

And suddenly there's this clarity again.

A short moment of softness arises automatically since you've been listening to these messages.

Suddenly one could say you're no longer fooling yourself.

And this is so beautiful and so welcome for this so-called human being to experience this more and more,

Moment to moment.

Ah,

I've been fooling myself.

Mmm,

Wow.

Let's check in.

Pff,

Clarity,

Openness,

Wonder.

Looking through new eyes,

So to speak.

Seeing life from a totally new perspective.

Wow.

Ah,

So much love.

Mmm.

And then all those details.

It's very helpful for all these human vehicles to see and experience all details.

So yes,

Let this wonder arise more and more so,

Again and again.

By practicing in this way,

By being pointed again and again beyond the thinking mind.

Beyond all these feelings and interpretations,

Beyond all these concepts.

Ah,

Just rest.

Soften,

Soften your whole experience.

Put things down,

It's okay.

Hasn't it been enough to carry this luggage,

These heavy burdens?

Nobody's asking you to keep carrying them.

It's just fully okay to relax,

To soften,

To put things down.

Can you hear me right now?

Again?

There's quite a good reason for repeating these messages.

Quite a good reason.

Since this stubbornness,

Hah,

Is quite big.

We all know this.

It takes some practice to unschool ourselves,

So to speak.

To see through all these concepts we've been creating.

And essentially this is this divine play.

And it's so beautiful for you as this so-called human being to realize that this is what we're here for,

Waking up to truth again and again,

More and more so.

It's as if life itself is falling in love again and again.

Finding itself again.

Playing as if it lost itself.

And playing as if it finds itself again.

And through you as this so-called human being,

There seems to be a process going on.

As if life is bringing you on this path of opening up,

Of finding,

Of remembering the truth of your own being.

How wonderful,

Hah.

And sure,

Life isn't always nice and painless.

For sure,

Life in a way one could say,

Is suffering.

There's a lot of suffering going on.

And simultaneously there's this possibility to find peace beyond suffering.

And might it be so that this message is entering your consciousness,

So to speak,

Right now.

To bring clarity,

To bring peace and to have you experience that it's possible to find peace beyond suffering.

The suffering will continue for sure.

But in the midst of all these challenges,

These heavy feelings,

Maybe depression or anxiety or sadness,

Jealousy,

All these,

Within all these there is this loving presence.

Maybe again right now in this timeless moment you are able to sense this,

Soft,

Unchanging,

Totally okay.

So today while interacting once more know that it's really possible that suddenly there will be this reminder,

Ahh wow,

Ahh,

A short moment of softness,

Of clarity,

Hmm,

No emphasis on thinking.

There you are again.

Maybe talking to somebody again.

Ahh,

Thinking,

Thinking,

Thinking,

Reacting,

Reacting,

Reacting,

Interacting,

Judging maybe.

And there,

Boof,

Hmm,

Stop,

Full stop.

Full,

Full stop.

No interpretations,

No labels.

You without the feeling of being a person.

Suddenly you,

You,

You as pure love,

You,

Hah,

Can you hear this?

Open yourself to be interacting with somebody and suddenly there is this total openness,

Freedom.

And maybe just a few seconds ago there was still this feeling of anger maybe or confusion or social awkwardness,

Whatever,

Maybe jealousy,

Whatever was going on and suddenly there is this clarity,

This total ease and peace.

Which doesn't mean that your body is totally,

Ooh,

Nice and nice,

No,

There might still be sensations,

Feelable and thoughts even might still try to run the show.

But there is this beautiful simultaneity in which there is clarity.

As if this feeling of being a person totally vanishes and melts into this mysterious experience.

At that point the feeling of experiencing is totally different,

So much more peaceful,

So much more at ease.

And also in that timeless moment the wonder of life will show.

Situations will change.

How else can it be?

Openness arises,

Love is shining forth.

And what would you think love in this purest form will create?

A natural flow,

A natural flow where this so-called human being can be totally at ease.

And isn't that what we're all wishing for,

To be at ease,

To joyfully be present?

I think we do,

Do you?

Might be helpful to contemplate this for a while.

What do I want?

Do I want to fool myself?

Do you want to fool yourself any longer?

You can explore this in the online course,

Don't Fool Yourself Any Longer.

It's on my profile page.

This helps deepening this exploration.

The chances of being reminded during your day will increase beautifully.

Many many many times a day you'll automatically be reminded to soften.

And it's not this identified person,

No.

During this online seven-day course,

Don't Fool Yourself Any Longer,

You'll be taken step by step towards this beautiful ease and peace.

And there's also this possibility to connect with each other.

And isn't it beautiful to remind each other again and again to be as we are,

To be this open spacious loving presence?

I am wishing you a really really beautiful day.

Until the next time.

Thank you so much for your lovely meditation, Ruben. This morning I wanted to get up full of energy and tidy the house, but then I found your warm, heartwarming meditation and I thought, yes, I don't have to do anything for now. I made myself a cup of tea and have now started, and I feel very strengthened and understood by you. All my love, Bettina

So soothing and exactly what I needed. Many thanks Ruben 🙏❤️💫
