Peace. Good evening. I welcome you with all my heart. It’s wonderful being with you again. All is well. There are no mistakes. Everything is in its right place. Just the way it is. You don’t try to change anything in your life or anywhere else. Everything is where it’s supposed to be, doing what it’s supposed to do, according to its nature. Something that you should be aware of upon waking every morning. is that your body, your mind, your thoughts, the good thoughts and the bad thoughts make those difficult kinds of thoughts, and your fears are superimpositioned in consciousness, and you are that consciousness. There’s always been and will always be. You are pervading pure intelligence. Galaxies, everything that you see, with your eyes, with your smell, know what he knows that he says to sell you, is real, are merely superimpositions and consciousness. It’s like printing on paper. The printing is a pure superimposition and consciousness. The paper is consciousness. The printing without the paper would be a mess. It would be impossible to do. You have to have the paper to have the printing. When you buy a newspaper in the morning or in the evening, whenever you buy a paper, when you read a paper, you forget forget all about the paper that it’s on. You look at the printing. You identify with the printing only, don’t you? You only identify with the print. You turn from page to page, you look at the print, what else to say? You don’t even think about the paper. If you do, you will notice that page after page of printing, pictures are all different, different stories, different pictures, but yet the paper always remains the same. There’s never any change in the paper. The print changes, big print, small print, capital letters, script. The paper never changes, the paper is always the same. And so does with human consciousness.

Same thing. People come, people go. Animals come, animals go, things change. But consciousness is always the same, it never changes. It is that absolute reality is always the same. Therefore, your job is not to identify with the body or the mind or people or persons, places or things, but to identify with consciousness, with the paper, so to speak. To the extent that you can identify with the paper or the consciousness, to that extent will you feel bliss, happiness, joy. But if you only identify with the person, places, and things in your life, if you only identify with people, your body, your mind, and you forget about consciousness, then you will suffer accordingly. Everything in this world is simply an illusion. It seems real. It appears real. It keeps changing from moment to moment. Never the same. Always changing. And what most of you do is you identify with the changes. You become discouraged, annoyed, upset over the situation that you see in your life. In these situations, it’s something prints on the paper. They change accordingly. They’re not the reality, the reality of the consciousness. When you wake up in the morning, think of these things. It’ll start your whole day going beautifully. When you realize to yourself that nothing matters whatever happens in this life of yours, whatever transpires today, will not affect me at all. When the passing show comes and it goes, it’s unreal. But consciousness is a reality. Without consciousness it would be virtually impossible to have a human being or a thought or a existence of any kind or so ever.

Consciousness is a reality. But it sounds like duality. We were saying there is consciousness and there is a human being. Not really. This is how you see it in the beginning. It’s how it appears in the beginning. It appears there are two. It appears if there is a human being, there is consciousness. There is a mind, there is a thought, people, places, and things. and this consciousness. But the reality of the matter is this. It is only consciousness. That’s what it is. Consciousness appearing as the self. Nothing else exists. And you are that self. In reality that it is. So human beings, thoughts, planets, galaxies are mirages, optical illusions. Like the sky appears resting on the mountain top. When you look ahead, it appears that the sky is is basically on the mountain top. Not at all. It’s an emotional illusion. It’s a mirage. It’s a snake in the rope. It’s a mirage. It’s an illusion. It’s the one and the dead is a mirage. It’s as if we’ve been hypnotized as believing life is real as it appears. But nothing is referred in the truth. There is no reality whatsoever in anybody and anything. The only reality is consciousness. All you have to do is remember this. Be aware of this. When you wake in the morning, say this to yourself, there is only consciousness. What appears to be myself? What appears to be my breakfast at a meeting? What appears to be my table in the house, chairs, couches?

Our real illusion is consciousness. There has to be something that holds the planets together. One of the planets rests on consciousness. One of the galaxies rests on consciousness, which is called bound to the space. None of this space where consciousness is real in nature, this is what you really are. This really means that you are everything in this universe. Everything that appears is you. From the ant, to the tiger, to the homeless person, to the multimillionaire, you’re all the same. It’s an appearance. To become free, you must not be fooled by appearances any longer. And how can you tell if you’re not fooled by appearances any longer? by the way you react. How do you react to things, places, people? This shows you where you’re coming from, show you what’s going on. You have to wake up. You wake up and realize that nothing exists, as it appears. You are that one that’s always been, the Holy One, the Sacred One. It is you. You are that. Why do you worry? Why do you fret? How are you afraid? If you have a glimpse of who you really are, how can you be afraid of anything? Everything. Everyone. It’s impossible. Before you perceive life to be like a movie, on the screen of life, the screen of life is a reality, the movie changes, it finishes, and it’s beginning and an end. But you, my friends, have no beginning and no end. You’ve always been what you are.

Pure awareness. This is the real nature. Knowing this awakens you totally and completely. Knowing this brings you peace. That’s what you have to do is know this. That’s what you have to do. Be cognizant of the fact of who you are. You won’t allow the earth to fool you, the world to fool you any longer.

By making you believe that something is wrong someplace, your life is not going the right way, you don’t have to make changes, you have to go someplace else to live, which thing will be better,

It will never happen. For wherever you go, you’ve got to bring yourself with you. If you go to an astro or a monastery, thinking you’ll find peace and quiet,

Your life will be worse for you. For if you cannot find peace and quiet where you are, you’ll never find anywhere else you’ll know it is coming from yourself the problem is within you and you’ll never take it wherever you go therefore you’re not running away from anything you’re just standing up tall being acquainted with yourself and looking conditions right in the eye you gave them birth all conditioning comes from you you are the mother of the universe go beyond it go beyond physical pleasure and physical pain go beyond the thinking of lack, limitation, sickness, health go beyond these things you are pure consciousness pure awareness pure intelligence this is your very nature not by understanding it intellectually but by realizing it himself comes to the realization of this truth I have always been the self, you say I have never been anything else but the self the pure self unobstructed unaffluxed by conditioning immortal I am that universal harmony has always existed and will always exist. I am the perfect self. It’s not a beginning without an end. I am boundless, choiceless, effortless. I am total freedom. For me there is no longer any karma. It doesn’t longer exist for me. I live in time and space. Only if one lives in time and space there is karma. some scars. Mental impressions come back to you, it’s going to haunt you. But when you understand that you do not have to live in time and space any longer, where’s the karma?

There’s no place for it, there’s no room for it. We are all pervading, omnipresence. Where would there be room for karma, some scars? There’s only karma when you think. When thoughts take place in time and space also. Your thoughts have to have space to think. They wouldn’t be able to think. You have no space in which to think. You have to have the time to think.

Even when you realize that you’re not going to find the time and space, there’s no one left to think. Think about this. How can you think about this? You don’t want to think. See, I caught you. I caught you thinking. You don’t understand what I’m saying. In order to think, there has to be space. You have nothing to think in. There’s no space, there’s no place to think. and there has to be time for you to think also, and thoughts take time to think. When you intelligently begin to understand that you have nothing to do with time and space whatsoever, then you have nothing to do with thoughts, and if you have nothing to do with thoughts, you need the absolute reality, or beyond thoughts, your church was pure awareness, your all-pervading, this is your real nature, this is what you really are, and therefore never give yourself an opportunity to think. nip it at the bud. As soon as you feel the thoughts starting in your mind, put a step to it by inquiring, who thinks? Who thinks? I do? I think? Then what is the source of the eye that thinks? What is its source? Where did it come from? And keep still. You will soon find that you stop thinking completely. There’s no one left to think. And you become totally happy and peaceful and blissful. Only you can do it for yourself by remembering to remember when you wake in the morning. My body is simply a superposition of consciousness.

Only consciousness exists. Only consciousness is real. You can focus yourself in the heart center and see a beautiful sphere of white light. Imagine it if you want and realize a beautiful sphere of white light is consciousness. Feel your body being immersed in this consciousness. You’re immersed in a presence and practical aspects of this consciousness, which is happiness and harmony. Feel this in yourself. Feel it deeply.

You don’t feel external phenomena. You don’t identify with external phenomena. As soon as the mind begins to think, you get a bit of a bud.

I’m not that, you say. You can even begin to realize, if you will, when the scriptures teach. many of you have been brought up in the West have probably been familiar with religions one or the other for instance you take the Psalms which says the Lord is my light and my salvation whom shall I fear and you don’t understand and you realize it’s the Lord and then the Lord is consciousness and the Lord is your strength your light your salvation how can you fear? who can fear who is there to fear but again the Lord becomes consciousness it simply means that consciousness is all there is that you are immersed in consciousness therefore there is nothing to fear how can you fear your consciousness who is there to fear nothing he goes on to say that the Lord is my strength in my life which means again consciousness is you you’re not consciousness consciousness is you you are pure consciousness this is what you really are this is your life therefore when you wish to look in the Bible wherever it has the name Lord changes the consciousness and you’ll hold the meaning out of it I’m ready for a change and to new freedom to new light and a change that’s coming soon for your awakening more and more do not let the world get to you the world may appear powerful strong and real but you have more going for you than you can ever imagine you have the light going for you the light of eternity

Consciousness is your reality. You have nothing to fear. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. You don’t have to worry about your fears. Everything is in its right place and falling as it should.

There are no mistakes anywhere. You must learn to live in the now. In the moment. Yesterday is dead. It can never come back again. Tomorrow is not yet come. Now you are free.

Now you are totally, absolutely free. In this moment you are free. do not think about it, just be it realize it, do not think about it do not try to figure it out analyze it do not say to yourself, how can I be free? what’s going on in my life?

Forget about that, that’s for kindergarten no life like that exists anymore before you you have no life that’s going on anywhere anyhow there’s only the one consciousness and you are that you have always been that, you are that now awaken to this truth wake up Wake up and be free. Right now. Do it. Ask questions.

Zaha Samadhi is the transcendence of the whole world. You’re beyond the three states of sleeping, waking, and dreaming. You realize that you are the witness to the three states of consciousness, sleeping, waking, and dreaming.

You have not changed. You are the same when you wake. You are the same when you sleep. You are the same when you dream.

You’re the observer of these things. So Sahasamati is a person who has transcended the three states of consciousness, the sleeping, waking and dreaming state, and they’re totally free, always happy, always blissful, when they realize who they are, they’re the self, and the waking, sleeping, dreaming consciousness has no power over them at all. A person who’s a cheetah is called a sage. I don’t know why they call a sage. I use the name I’d like to give them. Yesterday my wife and I, we went in a shopping center and then she bought some ice cream, chocolate ice cream. you go take the ice cream it was very enjoyable and then she asked me what I enjoyed it and I said yeah but at the time I enjoyed it there was no I afterwards comes a thought I’m enjoying it it comes always afterwards and then when I get home I often get these vanity trips I forgot what this one was but after one of those again asked me said well to whom does this come when I looked at it while I was experiencing it there was no I experiencing there was just experiencing it and afterwards comes a thought, I’m experiencing that one. But if they’re tired of experiencing it, there’s no I experiencing it. Who was in the ice cream? She thought, there’s no I at the time. At the moment of leaking the ice cream and so enjoyable, I’m not thinking I’m enjoying it, I’m just enjoying it. It’s just enjoyment.

There’s no I at that time. Who’s the enjoyer? It’s just enjoyment. She seemed to be an enjoyer either. Afterwards, when I think about it, when she asked me, did you like it? I said, yeah, I liked it. It was then. By the time of just enjoying the ice cream, there’s just enjoyment. There’s no enjoyment either. That’s good. True. You’re right.

With the vanity trick, I’m experiencing whatever it is. There’s no idea either. Whether it’s good or bad, it doesn’t make no difference, just experience. Yes, that’s a very good point. There’s no one really likes to enjoy anything. It’s just enjoyment. When you think you’re enjoying it, you’re spoiling it all. Because if you’re enjoying something, the ice cream will be finished, then you’ll be upset. You don’t have no ice cream left.

If you get yourself out of the way, like Fred said, and there’s only the enjoyment without a person or thing being enjoyed, then you can eat ice cream, do anything you like. And you’ll be free and happy.

That’s a good point, Fred. Thank you. Learn to keep your life simple. Do not become bogged down in this world of effect. The simple of your life is the better. practice loving kindness show peace to all do not be swayed by the TV or newspapers be yourself make your life simple, peaceful do not listen to rumors do not become involved in deep philosophy be gentle humble and strong the world may appear hard at times but no one will fool you he really has no power over you at all the reason it appears hard at times is because you’re allowed to be hard at times It’s how you see it, how you perceive it. It’s all perception. Just look at the world and laugh. It won’t go away. I realize you’re divinely protected, divinely guided. See how you’re good. You have nothing to fight, nothing to fear.
