Witnessing
"If you observe
your experience
in this moment,
then you are not controlling
this moment in any way,
you are not involved with it
in any way.
From witnessing,
there is the flow
of energy that
is happening,
that is arising by itself,
that is creating
the movement of all
phenomena in this moment.
The thoughts arise
in this flow of energy,
the sensations arise
and change in this flow
of energy,
it is all the flow of one energy,
arising out of consciousness
and dissolving back
into consciousness.
The energy takes
the shape of certain thoughts
and then the thoughts
dissolve back into energy
and then the energy
forms into other thoughts,
or other emotions
before dissolving back
into energy.
So you see in this
there is nothing to change.
Whether you experience
loneliness
or joy,
it is all the flow
of the same energy.
From the witness
it is all a flow
of the same bliss.
It is complete
and perfectly
content
within itself.
It is simply a matter
of letting go of this
need to control, change
or distract yourself
from this moment.
You let go of that
actual contraction
of identifying with this moment,
of being involved with thinking
and rest as the witness,
and then there is just
this beautiful flow
of energy,
the nature of which
is bliss.
Blessings,
Kip"

Tape 5 (Continuation...)
[And so, and then detect, you can detect pain-body in others. "Oh, there it is!"]
If you don't know what it is, sometimes the mind will say silly things like, "I suddenly saw his real face." It wasn't his 'real face' it was his pain-body. "I suddenly realized who she is underneath that sweet exterior." (ET chuckles and group laughter.) It's not her - it's just a pain-body.

 Reflections of the One Life: Daily Pointers to Enlightenment
by Scott Kiloby by BookSurge Publishing
Paperback ~ release Date: 2009-08-10
To Scott Kiloby |
 | | Scott Kiloby |
July 12th Missing enlightenment Enlightenment is apparently missed not because it is difficult to obtain. Enlightenment just means presence. Presence seems elusive but it is actually immediately accessible as the very life that is in this moment. Instead of feeling into the simple fact of presence, the mind wanders through time looking for enlightenment, believing that it is somewhere else, in some other time, or in some concept. Actually, presence is not obtained or missed. It is what you are right now. That is either recognized or it is not. The notions of obtaining it or missing it are ideas appearing and disappearing in presence. The reason enlightenment appears to be missed is because the mind overlooks the simple fact of presence and, instead, gets entangled into a simulated me or ego that lives in time and that believes that the past is its identity and the future holds the key to its freedom. That is the lie. Awakening from that dream means simply noticing what is already here. Everything is already here. The simple fact of presence is already here. The simulated me is a movie resulting from identification with thought and emotion. But that movie itself is arising in presence. In realizing that it is simply a movie and not your real identity, identification with the movie dies. Presence (i.e., enlightenment) is revealed to be what you really are. Enlightenment is that simple, way too simple for the mind. |

FACT: THERE IS NOTHING GREATER THAN CONSCIOUSNESS
RIGHT NOW, YOU ARE CONSCIOUS.
(Continuation...)
As you read, you'll see why Consciousness is not the same as what is called the personal thinking, sensing "mind." They're vastly different. To assume Consciousness is confined to an intellect and five physical senses of seeing, hearing, touch, taste and smell is way short of the mark. The so-called human thinking, sensing mind deals only with that which is limited or finite. It constantly needs to expand and progress out of its limitations. It always looks out beyond itself to something greater- always looks up to a God, Self, or Consciousness.
What about starting from the other direction?
Instead of looking up to the Self, what about looking out from the Self?
That's what the Self or Consciousness Itself is doing. It never looks up to Itself, and It is the only One being conscious right here, now.

Excerpts From "Being Our Companion: Exploring Self-Facilitation Through The Presence Process"
The Presence Portal |
 | | Michael Brown |
(Continuation...)
When we love, value, appreciate, acknowledge, and validate ourselves, we cannot stick a needle into our veins and inject junk into our precious body. How could we? We do this to ourselves because we hate ourselves. We hate ourselves because we cannot yet perceive ourselves. When we are waiting for the world to step forward and love, value, appreciate, acknowledge, and validate us, so we feel good enough to not hurt ourselves anymore, we wait for eternity. It is not the world's responsibility to accomplish this for us. The world does not owe any of us anything, least of all love. We must stop behaving as though it does. The world is a mirror; it is neutral. Its job is to reflect us.

What We Are, It Is
(Continuation...)
Anything objective that can be said about this Reality belongs to the realm of mind or senses, to that through which Reality is manifest, and so cannot be inherent in it. However, we can say that Reality exists, that it is, that it has Being. So we are left with the understanding that, when experience is divested of name and form, when experience is divested of the individual faculties through which it is perceived or apprehended, only the presence of Consciousness and Existence remains. §

The True Guru
(Continuation...)
Q: Then by what is reality known?
M: How misleading is your language! You assume, unconsciously, that reality also is approachable through knowledge. And then you will bring in a knower of reality beyond reality! Do understand that to be, reality need not be known. Ignorance and knowledge are in the mind, not in the real.
