Hello Teresa,
Thank you for your beautiful message all the way from Canada.
Yeah,
So beautiful to receive also your review.
As I was writing back to you I really felt immediately like dropping into this beautiful,
Soft,
Warm and loving space.
So thank you for that.
Let me shortly read what you were sending to me in the online course.
You're saying thank you Ruben,
I'm grateful for your tender,
Soft presence and guidance.
It helped me to climb off my high horse,
Sending soft,
Kind,
Good wishes with gratitude.
And a beautiful sunflower ending the message.
Yes Teresa,
For us right now,
And maybe others that are listening,
Another beautiful moment I feel to tune in again.
This is what I like doing most during my day,
These short moments.
And even more wonderful I would say if somebody is giving me a response.
And in those moments I truly feel a connection,
Although we do not really know each other.
Your words are so kind to me and yeah,
Much gratitude for that.
So I would like to invite both you and others that might be listening right now again,
And myself,
To take a deep breath.
Yeah,
And maybe already right now we are able to sense that something,
Life itself,
Is feeling more soft.
As if something is shifting,
Letting go.
Maybe letting go of tension in the body,
More stressful thinking.
Right now there's this beautiful opportunity again to stop,
To fully stop,
And to no longer emphasize any thoughts.
And during our day we can do this more often,
Beautifully so,
Automatically so even.
Especially when listening more and more to this message.
Life somehow is showing us that it's no longer very necessary to believe in whatever we're thinking,
Feeling.
And sure,
There's no problem with thinking and feeling.
And simultaneously there's this beautiful opportunity to go beyond,
As you were describing as well,
Teresa,
In your review message.
Somehow it's very beautiful to drop beyond all that we know so well,
That we seem to know so well.
To more and more learn to be a witness of whatever seems to be arising in our life.
So right now as well,
Try to see if it's possible to truly witness all that arises.
There's no effort needed for that.
It's kind of like slowly stepping backwards,
So to speak,
And noticing that something is so untouched already,
Something is so at ease,
Non-judgmental.
And even when thoughts arise right now,
Or feelings,
Or doubt,
In this timeless moment we've got this beautiful opportunity again to not judge,
And to softly be present,
Even when you don't feel soft or calm,
Or doubtless at all.
Maybe there's a lot going on within all your experiences these days.
In the midst of all those experiences there's still this beautiful,
Beautiful,
Beautiful moment to get in touch with this stable,
Unchanging,
Loving awareness,
Which isn't personal.
And tapping into this might show you that nothing truly is personal.
And when this is stepped into,
So to speak,
More and more on a daily basis within all your experiences,
Moment to moment,
It becomes more clear that we,
As these beautiful beings,
Are always connected,
Always connected to this soft,
Loving essence.
We are this,
But words,
We will never be able to find the right words,
Beyond the words,
Beyond the feeling of this person.
And even within feeling this person,
Like I am this person,
I am my body,
Even when you're feeling this,
I am what I think I am,
Within all that it's so beautiful if we,
For short moments,
If we briefly notice that something isn't talking,
Thinking,
Trying to find words,
Trying to change anything,
Something isn't changing anything,
Isn't even interested in whatever appears.
And then automatically the whole body-mind system rests,
It's automatically softening.
And as we experience this softness,
Clarity arises.
Can you sense this,
Teresa?
Can you sense that from kind of flying around in this open space,
In this softness,
Can you sense that everything becomes more clear,
Less cluttered,
Less doubt there?
Things suddenly are within my experience,
Teresa.
Suddenly,
When tapping into this open,
Warm,
Loving,
Non-personal awareness,
Things are more experienced as they are.
One of my beloved teachers is referring to this as it's like this.
And in my own experience,
I feel when dropping into this more soft and open space,
Noticing thinking,
Noticing memories arising,
Noticing life,
Noticing that I am moment to moment by practicing effortlessly and sometimes with some effort.
Sometimes it can be helpful to pick yourself up,
So to speak,
And to truly stay aware by,
For instance,
Noticing the breath coming in,
Going out.
Noticing this makes it so obviously clear,
Moment to moment,
That it's like this.
And what that does within my experience,
Moment to moment,
Is that the tendency to hold on to things or to try changing things or manipulate things,
This tendency falls away simply by noticing,
Ah,
It's like this.
I already am before whatever arises,
The next thought or the next feeling.
Already everything is so complete,
So fulfilled,
So perfect,
So,
I would say,
Almost divinely orchestrated.
Yeah,
So,
Thank you,
Teresa,
For sending out this sweet and soft message to me.
It helps me,
Again,
Beyond being this ribbon,
To tune in.
Life is tuning us in over and over again,
Showing us that it's so beautifully present for us,
Wanting us to open up,
To kind of be less delusional.
Clarity arising from softness.
Thank you,
Teresa,
And thank you if you're listening to this message as well.
Let us all,
Right now,
Again,
Take a deep breath and notice that we are,
That we are so softly present and so capable of tuning into this open,
Spacious,
Loving,
Non-personal awareness.
Wishing you all a good day.
Bye,
Teresa.
Thanks so much.
Much love.
