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...)
[It's not her - it's just a pain-body.] It's not who she is, it's just the human pain body. It's emotion, human emotion. Stagnant, trapped due to a millennia, thousands of years of egoic illusion. A great amount of pain has developed, thousands of years of not living in alignment with now. |

 Reflections of the One Life: Daily Pointers to Enlightenment
by Scott Kiloby by BookSurge Publishing
Paperback ~ release Date: 2009-08-10

July 13th Quietness When you hear spiritual teachers talk about quietness (or silence), there is a tendency to believe either that you must reach some future state where there is more quietness or get away from your current noisy surroundings. But quietness is all around you and within you right now wherever you are. It is the "default state" of life. This means that it is always here in between and even during the noise. It is what is here regardless of whether there is sound arising or not. Notice it between the words when someone is speaking and after their sentences. Notice that the words arise from and fall back into the quietness. Inner quietness never leaves. Notice it when the noise in your head stops. But notice also that the quietness is here even during the noisy thoughts. It gives birth to the thoughts. In noticing the quietness, your true identity is revealed. No matter what you think about yourself, life, or spirituality, those thoughts arise from and fall back into this quietness. This quietness is a portal to the source of all manifestation. Notice that the mental "you" that you take yourself to be is not separate from that source. |

FACT: THERE IS NOTHING GREATER THAN CONSCIOUSNESS
RIGHT NOW, YOU ARE CONSCIOUS.
(Continuation...)
To "look out from" simply means Consciousness Itself gets all the credit, all presence and power. There honestly is no other being conscious. One needn't do anything for this to operate perfectly here, now-Consciousness Itself already is doing or being It all.
What becomes obvious is shockingly simple, yet undeniable.
The fact that Consciousness or the Self Itself is the only One being conscious here, now, precludes there being another, lesser consciousness that has to become anything. No transformation is necessary-or even possible. The One Consciousness already is all the Consciousness that is functioning; It is fully, perfectly aware and never has been otherwise. This shatters the myth of a would-be secondary self that must struggle to get at-one with a vague "god."

The Transparency of Things

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.

Chapter 83
The True Guru
(Continuation...)
Q: If there is no such thing as the knowledge of the real, then how do I reach it?
M: You need not reach out for what is already you. Your very reaching out makes you miss it. Give up the idea that you have found it and just let it come into the focus of direct perception, here and now, by removing all that is of the mind.

From Above...
(Jordan highlights or comments on quotes from the teachings above |
Eckhart Tolle: "Stagnant, trapped due to a millennia, thousands of years of egoic illusion."
Jordan: In EMDR language, this is the 'mal-adaptive neuro-network' and is stored in the mid-brain.
+++++
Scott Kiloby: "Notice it between the words when someone is speaking and after their sentences. Notice that the words arise from and fall back into the quietness."
Jordan: You know, I've really noticed this. Maybe today, I will. |
