Hello,

This is William Cooper.

Welcome to Awakening Together.

I trust you're doing well.

So in this series of podcasts,

What we're going to do is two things.

The first is to experience clearly who we are.

That's the qualities of our being.

And this is not an intellectual pursuit.

This will be very visceral.

Your being is radiant love,

Radiant happiness.

It's like an atomic bomb explosion.

You should be feeling that.

If you're not feeling that,

It's because you're covered over in too many thought forms and emotions and activities.

So we're going to look very clearly at how the mind works,

How the personality works.

Because when you can see,

You're free.

To see is to be free.

So as we look at that and look at how it works,

We're going to also look at how to dissolve that which is covering us.

Once dissolved,

We're also going to look at how to reintegrate the personality.

First we dissolve a personality based on separateness,

A personality based on hurt,

Fear and anger out of separation from us.

And then we start to reform or integrate a new personality that flows from our actual being,

That flows from love,

Peace,

Well-being.

These are the qualities of our being.

Radiant peace,

Love and well-being,

Happiness.

Awakening and happiness are the same thing because we are happiness itself.

Awakening simply means we've dissolved enough of the crust that's covering us over so that we can experience the happiness that we already are.

There's nothing we have to do to become happy.

We're already happy.

We're just sometimes covered over.

Nature is radiant.

It shines through.

It's not covered over.

It glows.

That's why people love nature.

That's why we love nature.

Well,

We're the same way,

But sometimes we are covered over with our old personalities and thought forms.

So as we begin to experience our true selves more deeply again,

We'll flow from there and create in this world with a power,

A clear power that's not dissipated through a cloudy personality.

We'll experience the entire rainbow of who we are from beyond creation all the way through creation,

Down through bliss and well-being and love and congealing down into atoms and molecules and creating in this world.

We don't have to wait until we're completely clear to feel these qualities of who we are because they're there all the time.

So we'll begin to feel ourselves now and at the same time let our old separated and cut off personalities,

Our clouded personalities start to reform and integrate in a more clear way to who we are.

So for a while we'll both feel the radiance of who we are and unfortunately a little bit of the suffering that we've been feeling all along based on who we're not.

Happily that suffering will start to flow and dissipate as we orient to who we are.

So anyway,

That's a bit of a glimpse.

You'll see as we go along,

But stay tuned and let's work together.

I look forward to talking to you again soon.

Take care.

Interesting perspective! I’ve been meditating about 15 years, and have garnered some ability to relax and release, but certain aspects of life elude those skills. I will look into whether I’m repressing stuff in those areas. Thanks for the tip. Surprised I had not heard that somewhere before. Interesting! Donna

I realized I tried to venture in this area before and got very overwhelmed and scared. Listening to the way you explained this made so much more sense and I believe if I take baby steps I will be way more successful. Thank you so much!

you touched on this during your live talk today. it helped me greatly when you shared how i pushed all that anger down for year. and it will take time for all of it to surface and melt away. i thought there was no help for my anger. i’ve been to numerous therapist and psychiatrist. what you shared with me today gives me hope that my iceberg will slowly melt over time πŸ™πŸ’™πŸ•ŠοΈπŸ¦‹πŸ©΅πŸ™πŸ’™πŸ•ŠοΈπŸ¦‹πŸ©΅πŸ™πŸ’™πŸ•ŠοΈπŸ¦‹πŸ©΅πŸ™

I struggle to find the pain that I know is there. I had a traumatic childhood and have hardly any memories. Sometimes I feel like I'm just waiting for some sort of odd behaviour or reaction that might show where the pain is. I'm learning not to feel ambushed or hostage to my feelings so that I can identify what might be an obstacle but oh my, this is a slow process. Sometimes I feel like I'm playing the victim because I'm looking for the pain. I will continue to listen to this series and am very grateful for your thoughts. Thank you 😊
