After watching this video, take some time to go through the experiment for yourself. Sal speaks about an experience that happened early in his path, which revealed everything, and invites you to go back through your own life and see that although everything about your has changed, in fact, you have not changed at all. So who are you then? You are the same one now as you were when you were a baby. You are the omniscience that has known all of the experiences and changes of your lifetime.

We believe and feel that we are limited to this body and mind. But on Holiday, when for a moment the focus on a limited self is dropped and the conscious knowing of myself as blown wide open is here, we know ourselves in a different way. I call this a paradigm shift, a shift of being, from limited to unlimited.

In this inquiry meditation we see how conditioning happens and how we come to believe that that is what we are. Then we come to know who we are free from that, while not denying any of it.

Sal guides a few holidays to simply be that which is already free from the known. We see that no matter what comes and goes, I am always here.

Once you recognise that it is just to be that, to be free.

My personal story,

my great past, my terrible past,

my magnificent past, my illustrious past,

my horrible traumatic past,

my nostalgic memories,

my terrible memories,

my story.

Completely an object, not who I am.

I am not that.

I am not that story.

I am not that story.

I am not.

If I believe I’m that story, I’m going to f*****g suffer right along with it.

Of course.

Because that story is suffering.Even nostalgia, to me, suffering.

The good old days.

Oh, those times.

This is pure suffering.

So if I believe I am that story, I suffer right along with it.

Well, the good news is that’s an object.

I am prior to that story.

If I know freedom like this moment now,

that story simply and genuinely and truly doesn’t f*****g exist.

It’s a complete myth.

On the other hand, if I want to find that story, I will find it.

And it will become real.

It will become the locus of what I am.

Oh, that’s the locus of me.

This f*****g story.

I’m saying the locus of me is free.

The locus of what I am is free.

That story is a myth.

It’s simply an object coming and going like that tractor.

That’s all it is.

So like yesterday I said, when we’re blown wide open, all objects are equal.

All objects of this,

you know,

when we’re focused on one object,

then we’re exclusively focused on that object.

And really everything else is vague or not even known.

But blown wide open knowing everything that we see is appearing equally,

including the sensations of the body.

That means everything is equal, including my beliefs, preferences, personal story.

They are all equally appearing as in any other appearance.

And all of that is simply

an ephemeral, temporal appearance coming and going.

Even the seemingly most personal story is just like that tractor sound.

It’s equal.

It’s not more important than the tractor sound.

It’s simply an appearance.

I happen to place more value on it because it pretends to be who I am.

It pretends.

It’s a good actor.

And it’s a very good actor.

Good?

Good?

It’s a very good actor.

Better than any Academy Award winning actor.

Better than Leonardo DiCaprio is my own f*****g story.

award-winning, and I believe it completely.

But it’s no more true than that tractor sound.

We’re getting real here, you know.

This intensive, I am intending, heads will roll.

I want everyone freedom.

So we’re getting real.

All appearances are equal.

They’re temporal.

They come and go.

They’re insubstantial.

They are not essentially who I am.

They’re fine, but they are not who I am.

They’re not to be fixed,

corrected, changed,

gotten rid of,

none of that,

but they’re not who I am.

Let’s have a holiday.

Ramana and Nisargadatta suggest to hold on to the sense or feeling I Am to the exlusion of everything else and eventually that sense of I Am will dissolve. But you are free of that now already. In this inquiry we will see what it is to be, prior to I am.

Good morning, everyone.

I was speaking to a friend yesterday who’s come here to Tiruvannamalai to join my intensive,

and he was asking about the relationship between the unknown and doubt.

Somehow, being in the unknown creates doubt.

But doubt is actually only created by the known, isn’t it?

Known being concepts of the mind, ideas, beliefs,

opinions, hopes, fears, desires.

And out of those hopes, fears and desires and beliefs is the potential for doubt.

One example would be the doubt that spiritual seekers have,

that they’re getting somewhere or making progress or maybe will ever get liberated or enlightened or something like that.

Well, this doubt only can happen because there’s an idea that there’s something called liberation and enlightenment,

and there’s someone here, a me,

who needs to attain that and is not attaining it.

So then doubt appears.

So, clearly that doubt is all based on the fact of the known, which is an idea.

The known is an idea.

In the absence of that idea of liberation and enlightenment,

and even more so, a someone here who is going to get liberation and enlightenment,

in the absence of those ideas,

in the absence of that known,

like now,

just an open holiday…

In this pure being, knowing

has no need for an idea about liberation or enlightenment or progress,

or even a one who would have any of those things.

Pure being, open knowing now.

So, really doubt is not at all related to the unknown.

Because in pure being,

knowing,

the objects of the known,

which is knowledge,

ideas, opinions, concepts etc.,

they don’t appear, do they?

This is the unknown.

Pure knowing is the unknown.

Free from the known.

So, in the absence of the known,

there is neither the question or even concept or idea of enlightenment,

liberation, progress,

nor is there even the concept or idea of the one who would need to attain those things and isn’t.

So in this way, pure being knowing, there’s no seed for doubt to appear.

Because the seed is the “I am separate” and “I am seeking” and “I have desires and fears and concepts”,

that’s the seed from which doubt sprouts.

But free from the known and the unknown which is pure being knowing,

as paradoxical as that may sound,

the unknown is pure being knowing,

like now.

There is no doubt, nor is there someone to have the doubt.

So, doubt has nothing to do with the unknown.

Doubt has only to do with the known.

So, free from doubt is free from the one who has the doubt.

It’s free from the one who has the idea of liberation and enlightenment in the future.

And it’s already free here and now,

pure knowing being, who I am.

It’s good to be with you.

I will be back again tomorrow.

Peace.

Good morning everyone.

Today I thought we could find out what is here always,

before, during, and after all of the many constantly changing,

moving, appearing, and vanishing appearances.

If all of that is constantly changing,

it’s kind of foolish to put all of our value and security,

stability, sense of peace,

contentment on those moving,

changing appearances.

It’s a fool’s errand.

But what doesn’t change?

What can always be counted on?

Where is true contentment and peace found?

Is it in attaining an object?

Even a subtle, beautiful object like a blissful state or something like that?

It’s kind of silly to expect that to provide our contentment, peace, happiness.

Because as comes and goes those things,

also comes and goes our happiness,

contentment and peace.

So let’s see what’s here before, during, and after all of that that we can count on.

Let’s be on holiday for a moment.

Blown wide open, pure knowing being.

None of those transient things are here now, are they?

If some thoughts or sensations are appearing, we see they’re just fleeting.

Because why?

Because we’re abiding as pure open being.

Notice something.

This pure open being you recognize now,

isn’t that exactly the same as last time we were together having a holiday?

Pure open being.

That’s exactly the same, isn’t it?

Hasn’t gone anywhere.

But since the last time we were together,

how many appearances,

movements of thought,

sensations of the body,

sounds, experiences both gross and subtle,

visual objects,

how many of those have come and gone since the last time we were together?

Countless.

And all of them were different.

But this blown wide open pure being knowing absolutely no change at all.

Nut for the lack of noticing, here always.

All we just have to do is notice.

Also notice about what we recognize now, that it’s now.

And it was now when we were together last time, wasn’t it?

No time has come and gone in between.

We’re still here and now as we were.

All of those experiences, all of the sounds and sights and thoughts and sensations that appeared have their movement now,

in now,

in me,

timelessly.

I have my stand in now, not changing, not two different nows either, simply now.

So we see, whenever we care to notice,

this, what I am, pure being knowing, is here always.

We get hypnotized by the movements of mind and body and life and all of that,

and overlook what is so glaringly obvious,

which is that I, pure being knowing, am here

before, during, and after every appearance.

And what good news!

Because this means that all the trouble we feel during these experiences and

thoughts and sensations and emotions are just gone as soon as you care to look.

Where are they now?

For one who has the audacity to be free,

then it’s just a matter of coming to know

that which is already free and being that.

And being a real rebel.

A real rebel is one who doesn’t believe the cultural indoctrination that everything that happens in your mind is sacrosanct and must be attended to.

I know. I’m a heretic.

I’m getting in big trouble.

A real rebel is a rebel against that and says, “no, I’m gonna be free.”

That’s why I call it the audacity of freedom.

It takes true audacity to be free because all of culture is set against that idea.

All of psychology is set against that idea.

All of religion is set against that idea.

All of spiritual seeking is set against that idea as well.

It’s all keeping you in the loop of hypnotized mind.

So I just say for a moment,

you know,

notice what’s here,

before, during and after everything.

Untouched.

Pure being knowing.

Already free.

This is who you are.

It’s good to be with you.

I’ll be back again tomorrow.

Peace.
