Advanced Self-Inquiry
"In meditation,
one of the greatest
things you can do
is become aware
of how thought identification
happens.
Become aware
of the process
of thoughts arising
and the action of
being attached
to identifying with
those thoughts.
There is a feeling
of contraction behind it,
a feeling of stress.
A feeling of constantly
holding on to something
that is flying all over the place.
And if you can recognize that
attachment
then you can begin
to let go of it.
You can begin to
rest in non attachment
where thoughts
are never even given
the power to fully become
a thought.
You will find
if you remain
un-identified
to thinking,
the power that
makes thinking happen
dissipates
and thoughts can
slow down and even
stop altogether.
And then what is left
is impersonal radiance,
a power that expands
and consumes everything
that may arise
back into itself
like a blazing fire
of consciousness.
So you see
it is not what you know,
how you act,
or even what your experience is
that is important.
We are looking behind
all of that.
We are looking at the
first action of identification
that turns the whole thing
into a personal you
with a personal mind
and a personal story.
We are breaking
that attachment
to creating that identification
and recognizing
what is left.
Remaining in what is left.
It may not be blissful
or peaceful or loving.
You can't look
to get something out of it.
You are stopping
the creation of what
is looking for bliss
in the first place
to remain in what is
undeniably here
underneath it all.
Blessings,
Kip"

[And that's freedom, the arising of the witnessing presence.]
You don't need to....so, it is not necessary to find some strategy for fixing yourself, as far as the pain body or anything else is concerned. "How can I? This isn't right, I shouldn't have a pain-body. How can I fix myself?"
It's not necessary, not that you would even succeed. See it. The seeing is freeing, and then less and less are you identified with the movement of the pain arising.

 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 28th No self The realization of no self is not a position. It is not a philosophy or belief. To speak about it, however, one must enter into the dualistic realm of language. The moment you begin talking about "no self," it sounds like a position. But the realization of no self is the actual seeing that you are only emptiness (i.e., not the mental position or belief that you are emptiness, but rather the actual realization). Once that emptiness is realized, it is seen that emptiness arises as every mental position but that there is no self to attach to any of the positions. This pointer is not suggesting that you should not take positions. That, in and of itself, is a position. It is simply an invitation to look within, to that which is prior to all positions. It is an invitation to see that there is no self there to attach to any position including the position that there is no self.

FACT: THERE IS NOTHING GREATER THAN CONSCIOUSNESS
RIGHT NOW, YOU ARE CONSCIOUS.
(Continuation...)
Put it this way: if you weren't now being, if you weren't now consciously present, you wouldn't even exist to have questions or care about this. But you do exist; you are now present and aware.
To see the Truth of this, try a little test. Try to make Consciousness not be.
See if Consciousness, the pure Awareness you are presently aware of being, can be taken out of being present. Can Awareness somehow be taken away so It isn't being present now, but is backed up to five minutes ago? Or can Awareness be pushed ahead by five minutes, so It isn't being present now? Try as hard as you can to make pure Awareness move or pass away in time so It isn't being. The more you try, the more you see the impossibility of it. Awareness truly is.

Excerpts From "Being Our Companion: Exploring Self-Facilitation Through The Presence Process"
The Presence Portal |
 | | Michael Brown |
PART V: QUESTIONS ASKED AFTER COMPLETING THE PRESENCE PROCESS 1. A friend is struggling with their life experience, how do we persuade them to do The Presence Process?(Continuation...)
Interference is to act out of fear, to believe something wrong is unfolding in another's life. Interference stems from a belief that another's behavior adversely affects us; we therefore feel compelled to sedate or control them with our good deeds and advice. Indulging in interference stems from believing we are not responsible for the quality of our life experiences. When we know we are, we know another's experience cannot affect us, and no matter how devastating anyone's circumstances appear, they are always experiencing the consequences of their own thoughts, words, and deeds. We also know that when someone is going through a challenging time, it is their drama. It passes. Our emphasis is therefore not on their drama, but on the going through. |

The Transparency of Things

Paperback

Peace And Happiness Are Inherent In Consciousness
The mind, the body and the world appear to Consciousness, to 'me,' to 'I.' They are objects and Consciousness is their subject, that which experiences them.
Consciousness, that which we call 'I,' is always present in every experience and does not disappear between experiences.

Your Goal Is Your Guru
(Continuation...)
Q: When both the disciple and his teacher are inadequate, what will happen?
M: In the long run all will be well. After all, the real Self of both is not affected by the comedy they play for a time. They will sober up and ripen and shift to a higher level of relationship.
Q: Or, they may separate.
M: Yes, they may separate. After all, no relationship is forever. Duality is a temporary state.
