Going Beyond Content
"In meditation
we are simply
noticing
that everything is.
It is not the 'everything'
that is important,
it is the is-ness itself
that is the key.
The mind is always
caught up in the content.
But awareness
only experiences the essence.
Whether there is anger
or a thought
of a chocolate brownie
or a heavy rain outside.
All of these things
are of the same energy.
They exist out of
life itself,
the one energy
that is animating everything.
And even in saying this
the mind is agreeing
or disagreeing.
The mind is relating
to the words as content.
It is trying to comprehend
something that
cannot really be put in words
in the first place.
All the words can really do
is point
and it is up to
you whether you give
your attention
to where the words are
pointing
or you get caught up
in the content
of the words.
And if you give
your attention
to where the words are pointing,
then you move beyond words;
you move beyond content
and rest in that
which cannot really be described.
So there is this shift that
needs to happen,
to move beyond trying
to experience things with the
intellect or emotion
to experiencing what is here
beyond intellect and emotion.
To realizing
the is-ness
of everything.
It is not that thinking
has to stop,
it is that you stop
being transfixed
by the content
of the thinking
and realize
that which is always
animating the content,
that which is
making the content
possible in the first place.
The conscious
ever flowing energy
that is bliss itself.
Blessings,
Kip"

[And so attention is on it and it actually - this is the strange thing - why people with heavy pain-bodies are - one could say - are more likely to wake out of their identification that people with light pain bodies.]
So, the pain-body transmutes that energy and the vibrational frequency which was "Oh, oh" (low) becomes "ooooh, ooooh" (higher pitch sound).
Don't take anything too literally, they're just pointers. (audience laughter, and Eckhart laughs)

 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 |
August 5th Simplicity Have you noticed how simple life actually is when you are not living it completely through the veil of thought? It is so simple, so effortless. It is doing the laundry, pouring detergent into the washing machine. It is hearing the sound of the door to the machine slamming shut and the cycle starting. It is footsteps to the kitchen, pouring a glass of water, and the feel of cool water flowing down the throat, soothing the body. It is walking to the bathroom, using the toilet and washing the hands. It is the feel of water rushing over the fingers. It is drying off the hands. It is breathing, smiling, frowning, driving, walking, talking, being. It is noticing thought and then not noticing thought. This is life just living itself spontaneously. No one is bringing any of it about. It is simply happening now. The self that would try to understand this is also just a thought happening now. You do not bring the story of "you" about. It merely pops into your head spontaneously. When this is seen, all sense of being in control is seen to be illusory. In noticing this, the possibility of an awakening into simplicity arises. Life is so simple, so effortless, so natural. The person trying to live it, trying to control it, and trying to understand it will never see and experience that simplicity. |

FACT: THERE IS NOTHING GREATER THAN CONSCIOUSNESS
RIGHT NOW, YOU ARE CONSCIOUS.
(Continuation...)
If this book is the first you've read on Consciousness, you may be saying, "Whew, this sounds very ethereal," but the more you read, the more undeniable and real it is. If you've read books on Consciousness or spirituality before, you may be saying, "Hmm, this sounds interesting." Reading from the viewpoint of the One Self, Consciousness Itself, you say, "This makes complete sense. It's simple!"
Consciousness, Being, never doubts or has questions about Itself. Notice how any doubts or questions seem to originate from the constantly shifting, unstable thinking of the intellect or so-called sensing mind. Now notice the certainty and power with which pure Conscious Awareness goes right on being, regardless of what is thought.

PART V: QUESTIONS ASKED AFTER COMPLETING THE PRESENCE PROCESS1. A friend is struggling with their life experience, how do we persuade them to do The Presence Process?(Continuation...)
There is no benefit in running around frantically and attempting to douse the burning houses in our street when our own house is ablaze. It is sensible to first extinguish our own inner fires, establishing our house as a place of shelter and safety for those yet to accomplish this. Living in this world is about overcoming many obstacles and challenges. This entails a great inner struggle. This struggle is our source of strength, wisdom, and compassion. Chances are, as we walk our path we shall witness many souls who are in the midst of their inner struggle. When we insist on using our energy to attempt to save them, especially when we are not asked to, not only are we depriving them from gaining strength, wisdom, and compassion, but we are distracting ourselves. We can spend our whole life cleaning mirrors, it won't accomplish anything.

The Transparency of Things

Peace And Happiness Are Inherent In Consciousness
(Continuation...)
It is the same space that is present during the intervals between objects in the dreaming and waking states. It is also the same space of Consciousness that is present during the appearance of objects in the waking and dreaming states.
In the dreaming and waking states, the emptiness of Consciousness seems to be coloured by the appearance of objects. However, Consciousness is not coloured by anything outside itself.

Your Goal Is Your Guru

Q: I can see that I am false. Who will make me true?
M: The very words you said will do it. The sentence: ' I can see that I am false' contains all you need for liberation. Ponder over it, go deeply, go to the root of it; it will operate. The power is in the word, not the person.
