I welcome you with all my heart. I love every one of you unconditionally and equivocally. You’re all divine beings when you know they’re not. You’re all spiritual beings. You’re not human. You’re inhuman. If someone calls you inhuman, say thank you. There are no mistakes. You’re inhuman. That’s the way it is. You think you’re human, but you’re not. That’s the whole problem. When you can stop being human, you’ve arrived. We were actually pledged with peace, harmony and joy. We always were. You don’t have to get anywhere to find it. It’s like where you sit right now, just to become aware of it. People continue to ask me the same perennial questions over and over again. For instance, is life really preordained? Is everything really predestined? Or do we have free will? Some people ask me, Robert, you always give us an obnoxious answer. You give us an ambiguous answer. What is the truth about this? What is the real truth, the absolute truth? Or if you want to know the absolute truth, you won’t ask any question. You’re asking the question because you don’t know the absolute truth. It depends on your perception. It depends on who’s asking the question. The answer to both questions is yes. Everything is preordained and you have free will also. So both are correct. You believe you are the body and the mind, and you believe in the world that exists, the universe which exists, the others which exist, There’s karma which exists. There’s a personal God which exists. All these things actually exist if you believe you’re the body.

They do. Or if you believe you’re a body and your other bodies, there are millions of bodies that you see all around you. And these bodies have to be controlled somehow. You can’t let them run around and create chaos and confusion. So you invent a God named Ashwara, who is a God of karma. He just gave everything for you. This God only exists when you believe you’re the body. I believe you’re the mind, in the morning and say, who is Ashwara, who am I, what is this universe I’m living in, what am I about, who wakes up, who sleeps, if you inquire on any side of these questions, you become free in no time, but most of you do not do this, do you? And instead you wake up in the morning and start thinking about your problem, about the day, what’s going on in your life, what’s in the news, the world exists for you, where you see it. And you have no free will whatsoever, or anything spiritual day in your life. But if you get up in the morning and you’re not attached, desireless, you’re not thinking too much, you’re quiet and still, you just are, then you have free will. When you have the free will to turn within, and do the heart center, and the self, and understand that you are the imperishable self, pure awareness, absolute reality, you are that, that’s your free will working, realizing the truth about yourself.

Never think of your problems. Never believe anything is wrong. Never believe somebody is trying to hurt you. Always feel the truth about yourself, who you really are. The real truth. Even if you can’t understand it too much, by just feeling it, thinking about it, it’s wondrous for you. The question on the horizon. Where did the God of Shuar come from? What created him? The God of karma, where did he come from? And the answer, I get you sound like a cup out, but it’s not.

The answer didn’t come from any place. It didn’t come from anywhere. You invented it in yourself. You invented everybody yourself. All the gods, goddesses. All parts of your mind and your imagination. All projections of your mind. The whole world is a projection of your mind. Everything.

You’re free. Absolutely free. You just keep asking, where did all these things come from then? Why does the world seem too real to me? How do I feel the world? every day. Why does the world frighten me? Why does the world give me this? Why does the world do this to me? Look at it this way. Imagine you go to a hypnotist and the hypnotist begins to put you under and tells you there’s a spider on your arm. A spider is biting your arm and your arm is getting red. As long as it actually becomes red, a spider bit you. Even if a spider doesn’t exist. This gives If you give a full subnautic suggestion, it will tell you when you awaken from this session, you will still feel the spider in your arm, and you will see the spider. And when you see the word disappears, the spider will disappear and your arm will be okay again. As soon as the hypnotist brings you out of the subnautic trance, and sure enough, you see the spider in your arm. Nobody else sees it but you. You see the spider biting your arm, and you’re trying to hit the spider with your hand, trying to kill the spider. Your arm has a waltz in it, a sense of words and a spider disappears and so on and that. The question is what brought a spider about? What brought the waltz about in your arm? Where did it come from? It came from anywhere it is. It came from your imagination.

It came from your mind. You invented the whole thing. You created the whole situation yourself. When you’re dreaming, and you’re dreaming of thousands of people doing all kinds of things, and it will come out of your mind. The old dream world is a mental thing. Some of you like to interpret your dreams. You like to interpret your dreams. Whatever your dreams are, they all out of your mind. They all come out of your mind. When you’re good or bad, it doesn’t make any difference. You’re the dream, huh? You’re dreaming the dream. So you see, we’re living in an imaginary world. With imaginary people. Imaginary gods. Imaginary situations. We’ve been brought up to believe they’re real, that’s true. We’re brought up to believe everything is real as we see. We’re open hypnotized. Mass hypnosis. Look how involved you are with your life. And if you’re going to live forever, you’re so involved in your affairs, your job, your family. But if you think about it, nothing lasts forever, doesn’t it? If you’re here today and going tomorrow. So when the question is yours, what are you doing with your life? It’s in a bed like most human beings. And this thing in material things really long. The only salvation for you is to find who you are. who you are it’s going to track down to who are you really what are you where did you come from who were you before you were born and as you ponder these questions so do what happened to you this will be wonderful answers will come from of the wrong record you’ll find you feeling happier than you ever felt in your life kind of meditation life is meditation where you live your lifestyle is all meditation for the moment you get up to the morning until you go to sleep tonight it’s all meditation your whole lifestyle is where you live today Think back in retrospect. What kind of day do you have today? Were you angry over something?

Did you lose your temper? Did you lose somebody? Were you afraid of something? Who felt these things? Where did they come from? To whom did they come? All these emotions, all these fears, all these frustrations, all these doubts, apprehensions. To whom did they come? To me? They came to me. Who is this me? Where did me come from? The reason for this is not asking this question to yourself, everything is pure dain. For everybody is not a karma, a karmic body, that’s your real self. All the karmas come together and put you here and the stuff that you need in this lifetime. There is one of the tools that you have to experience in this life. So those are the certain experiences. Why? Because you refuse to acknowledge who you are. You refuse to acknowledge that you are Brahmin, Through awareness, health and reality, consciousness, self, I am the I am, such as Ananda. This is your real nature, and you have to think about this all the time. But instead, what do you do? Think about your problems as if they’re going to last forever. You think how people hurt you in the past. You think about this, you think about that. Why did you be doing something to stop your thinking? You should be working on something to stop your thoughts. To stop yourself from thinking. Stop thinking. Right now, stop thinking. It’s difficult for multiple people because you haven’t practiced. You have to practice to save your thoughts from moving.

I do this by watching your thoughts. By sitting quietly and watching your thoughts come and go. Without reacting to them. Without any of your thoughts to come to you. Unless your thoughts to come to you. Just watch them, observe them, and not react to them. And then you inquire to them that they come. We’re seeing these thoughts. Where is the source of the eye? Where did I come from? Follows in the heart center on the right side of the chest. I think I have to awaken one day. One day today. And most of you realize why you’re not awakened yet. You think you’re not awakened. You don’t know why. Your mind is on something else. You think it’s more important. And instead of the mind becoming weaker and weaker, the mind is becoming stronger and stronger and going to keep thinking about people, places, and things. You make your life very simple. Don’t be looked after. You don’t have to worry about that. Look at the birds in the fields. I’m going to supply with food and everything you need. supply all of your needs. Just keep quiet. Get out of the way. They will come to you. All your needs will be met from within. So try to understand the founders. Whether you’re a body, and there are other bodies, the other worlds, the universes, the gods. Everything is real to you. Everything is pure to the end. But when you turn away from these things, turn within to the self, then you’re free.

And karma is no longer part of your life. You’re free from all karma. Because after all, what is karma for? The mind, the ego, that’s for you. If there’s no mind, there’s no ego working, I think it’d be karma. Because the one person reacts continuously, it keeps reacting, reacting, reacting. That’s where karma comes to. When you start reacting, for when is there karma? So starting tomorrow morning when you get out of bed, catch yourself thinking, of course the mind is slowed down but not reacting to it. And then try to stop the mind from thinking, just watch it, just watch the mind thinking. Watch the mind thinking, once you’re going to town with all kinds of thoughts. And you observe the mind that comes weaker and weaker, slows down. You inquire within yourself, when does this mind come? This thinks, comes to me, then who am I? Soon as soon as you wake up in the morning, you’ll be the happiest person in the world. Yes, you will. Out of bed, lying down a little bit. So who wakes up? Who’s awake? Is that a dream? I was enjoying all these questions. Don’t buy us the whole Lord and give all these questions. Where am I? Where do I come from? We’ll be free. But do it. Ask questions. I hear what you say. We still get up every morning and ask who am I? Then I actually doubt that things will happen. Buddha, so long ago I just don’t believe it and then it doesn’t hurt.

I think the people are happier who will achieve something. What you have to do is try to achieve anything. Just be yourself. Watch yourself. Feel it that way. Watch your feelings. Observe your feelings. It’s all positive. Observe the feelings you have. The feelings that come to you that tell you this. Observe your doubts. My what? Your doubts. Right. When I observe mental, I actually feel like I’m a bundle of mind, a focused mind. All kinds of ideas and thoughts which are focused, which are conditioned, which are hypnotic, but they are all there. They are creating my happiness or unhappiness. I actually felt when they come. It’s always better than others come. Where do they come from? Yeah, where they come from, when they come. who’s feeling all this? Who’s feeling it? And I say, I am. I am feeling this. Who am I? In other words, you want to find the source of those feelings. What sort of feelings you have? Where do they come from? Keep them quiet. Where do they come? Who am I? What is the source of these feelings I have? And I keep doing this again and again and again. It all starts to break up. And you’ll feel the inner peace and the inner joy that you’ve never felt before. Because you are greater than your Sorts. You are much greater than your Sorts. You are the power. The Sorts have no power upon themselves. The Sorts don’t have the power that you give them. The power comes from you. You are the power.

So if you’re feeling you get the power of yourself, the Sorts will feel that way. Because it’s going to be self-taking like that. It’s just a little smile. The Sorts have no background. The Sorts have no birth, no mother, no father. It’s useless. And the pilots, you get them yourself. It’s like a power back. And the Americans watch them and zip them and go away by themselves. Have you found this? Not everything. I listen often like, okay, go deeper. If you go to the roots, if you find your real self. But I keep looking deeper and there seems to be nothing. See, it’s like, well, you’ve got to go deeper, but I don’t find anything deeper, actually. Especially if the daily things come in, bills come in, things to do, really go deeper. Maybe take more time and forget paying the bills. No. You’ll pay your bills as everything you’re supposed to do, and everything will be okay. But the next thing you’re paying your bills is a means by itself. If you sit still and require, who am I? You’ll find new revelation coming to you. You’ll pay your bills as everything you’re supposed to do. There’s no sense of consciousness to be a new person. It won’t be the same old human anymore. Be brand new. Be full of power. Full of joy, full of grace. Don’t look at the bells of the same power that you are. You build upon the saving world, a part of life.

Because you can’t do it by yourself. And you have to. By thinking about your real nature, thinking about who you are, thinking about your consciousness, your Brahmin, your sisters and others, your young society, your pure awareness. This is the way beyond bells. It’s just a carry of bells. But the firm of you are in the mind, since you say I am not the body, I am not the mind thinking about building anything else, if I am me, I am pure awareness, I am the absolute reality, I am Brahman, I am consciousness, I keep soul, see what happens. Something will give you a feeling of wonderful, but keep practicing, keep practicing, keep practicing.
