How to Deal With Upheaval
"First, realize
that someone or something
is not making you feel this way.
You are feeling this way
out of a reaction
to what is happening.
Blaming only keeps
you unconscious.
Second,
be honest and
accept what you feel,
this is most important.
Don't try and create
"positive emotions."
This is just the ego
trying to impose something
it thinks should be here
on top of what is really here.
You have to really
allow yourself to feel
what is honestly here and accept it.
Perhaps at first what you feel
will go and you will find
a whole new set of thoughts
and feelings underneath it.
Such as if you feel angry
at someone for treating
you a certain way,
after allowing that anger
you may realize that
the anger was there
because you did not want
to accept the feelings
of rejection
and loneliness
that were really there.
So allow yourself to feel that,
without trying to change it,
get rid of it, figure it out,
understand it, even own it.
Just allow yourself to feel
what is here as sensation.
Accept that this is
what simply is
in this moment.
There is no doing involved
it is simply what is here.
If you do this,
you will instantly feel peace.
The moment you accept
and allow yourself to experience
even the first emotion,
there is peace.
And as you allow,
and feel what is here,
ultimately what you will find
that is here is sensation,
the sensation of energy moving,
and that is bliss,
that is love.
So you see
what you are really doing
through surrender and feeling
is moving beyond the mind,
moving beyond
the thinking and the emotions
to what is really here,
to what is here before
the mind labels it and judges it.
You will feel humbled
by what is here,
you will feel completely
vulnerable to what is here,
but in this way,
you awaken to peace,
you awaken to love;
not as something
that you try to do,
but you awaken to
what is always already here.
Then you will experience
everything as the same bliss.
You will feel the bliss in resentment,
the bliss in rejection,
the bliss in loneliness,
the bliss in happiness.
It is all the same bliss.
It is all the same flow
of energy.
It is simply a matter of
truly allowing yourself
to feel what is here
without trying to change it
in any way.
Blessings,
Kip"

Tape 5 (Continuation...)
So, the end of form identity, psychological form, physical form, emotional form, thought forms.
Not 'me.'
Again, the Buddha saw it all.
I don't teach Buddhism, as such, but there is such truth in it that the illusion deriving your sense of self from identification with form.

 Reflections of the One Life: Daily Pointers to Enlightenment
by Scott Kiloby by BookSurge Publishing
Paperback ~ release Date: 2009-08-10
To Scott Kiloby |
September 4th
If you can see it, it isn't you
The dream self is created from identification with objects that arise. For example, you might think, "I am angry," or "It's a dreadful day." But look more closely. If you can see a thought, is that thought you? If you can see an emotion, is it you? You are the seer, not the objects seen. That which is seen is an object that arises and falls - a temporary form. You are that which is looking at those objects as they arise and fall. Even the notion that there is a seer as a separate identity is an object (an idea) in awareness. In looking inward, there is no separate entity there. There is only awareness recognizing awareness. Awareness is not an object. Your true identity is pure seeing itself. This can be fearful if there is a desire to hold onto some identity. But it is absolutely liberating if you see that even that fear is an object in awareness.
Suffering happens when you believe that you are your thoughts and emotions. In reality, you are not angry. Anger is arising. It's not actually a dreadful day. The thought, "It's a dreadful day" is arising in awareness. This is not about denying or suppressing thought and emotion. It is about seeing them for what they really are.

Chapter 12
FACT: CONSCIOUSNESS
IS WHAT THE PRESENT IS
(Continuation...)
Life Itself does not extend in time. Life is. The entirety of Life is now
changelessly being-as the All-Present Consciousness I Am. Because the Life I Am is not a stream of time events, not a continuity, there is no more of Life to come later. All of Life is present now as the Ever-Present Conscious Aliveness I Am. All the Life there is for Eternity already is present now.

Excerpts From "Being Our Companion: Exploring Self-Facilitation Through The Presence Process"
The Presence Portal |
 | | Michael Brown |
From PART V: 2. (Continuation...) Possibly the most appropriate word to describe the resonance of a facilitator is the word, mirroring. The task of an authentic facilitator is to reflect what we cannot, and in most cases, do not choose to perceive about ourselves. To accomplish this function they are required to be nothing and nobody. Instead, they become an empty available space, allowing themselves to be filled with the energy of whatever we hide from ourselves. They are as neutral, as clear, and as honest as a mirror. A good metaphor in describing an authentic facilitator is a chameleon-mirror. A chameleon-mirror does not use its ability to change its appearance for the purpose of camouflaging itself, instead it uses this ability to reveal to those who come in close contact with it what they are hiding from themselves. |

The Transparency of Things
by Rupert Spira
by Non-Duality Press
Paperback

 | | Rupert Spira |
Peace And Happiness Are Inherent In Consciousness
(Continuation...)
[It is the fact that we think and feel them to be objects, outside and separate from ourselves.]
With this feeling that objects are on the outside and separate, comes the corresponding thought and feeling that 'I,' the presence of Consciousness, is on the inside and is similarly separate.
It is this division of the seamless totality of our experience into a perceiving subject and a perceived object that veils the Peace and Happiness that are present under all conditions and at all times.

From Above...
(Jordan highlights or comments on quotes from the teachings above.) |
Michael Brown: "Instead, they become an empty available space, allowing themselves to be filled with the energy of whatever we hide from ourselves."
Jordan: And to see themselves as the reflection of a projection of the person being facilitated while at the same time seeing the person being facilitated as a reflection of the facilitator, in that moment. And being transparent to all of it...
+++++
Nisargadatta: "As I see it, two body-minds exchange symbolic noises. In reality nothing happens." Jordan: Talking as 'symbolic noise' - I like that.
