Today, let’s just be fully blown wide open and notice some things.

When you notice attention is going to any object,

which is quite often thoughts,

because thoughts feel like the most intimate experience.

It feels like they’re us,

and we’ve been convinced through our culture and just way of being that that is who we are.

So thoughts feel very intimate and very compelling.

And that’s completely fine.

No problem about that at all.

But when we notice attention going there, just come out into the sun.

The sun, which is pure knowing, pure being, untouched by anything, like now.

And just to consciously be this blown wide open,

not inside of anything or contracted around anything at all,

completely open,

completely free.

Just be that for a moment.

No words are needed, but one word that comes to mind would be aware.

I don’t prefer to use the word awareness,

because that has a subtle potential of being turned into an object.

But simply aware.

Can’t deny it.

And notice, is aware located someplace inside the head or something like that?

Or isn’t aware blown wide open?

Ubiquitous, not limited somewhere, not located anywhere.

With eyes open, we can easily recognize all of the visual objects.

And without labeling any of them,

the myriad objects perceived with the visual sense

all appear here within aware.

That includes any of the

visual objects associated with your body,

hands maybe,

they’re in the periphery of your aware knowing,

the legs,

maybe part of the nose,

all of these objects called my body,

are here, within aware.

Any sounds that may be occurring in your environment

are also here, within, aware.

Any sensations happening within the body,

and the body is really only

a mass of different sensations, both gross and subtle, moving, changing, vibrating constantly.

Notice,

all of those sensations appear within aware

Even thoughts passing through the scenery of experience.

Notice those happen within aware as well.

Is this aware something that you are doing?

Is it a verb, an action?

Or perhaps is it much more intimate than that?

Aware is the nature of what I am.

It is what I am.

Aware.

I’m not doing aware.

I’m not even being aware.

I Am

aware.

And so within me,

aware,

all of the objects of perception,

all of the objects of the body and the mind and emotions and thoughts

have their momentary display within me.

So the way to be free is quite simple once it’s recognized.

It’s not esoteric.

It’s not philosophical.

It’s not complicated.

It doesn’t require sadhana or practice.

It just requires being free.

Aware.

Know yourself, instead of as this body-mind,

know yourself as aware

and be that consistently.

And know that everything that appears without any exception,

gross or subtle,

appears within and to me,

aware.

Have this shift of knowing, this shift of being,

I call a paradigm shift.

Living as a new paradigm.

Instead of the very limited conceptual paradigm of a me trapped in and as a body,

to the paradigm of blown wide open, aware, knowing, pure being, free.

I call this living freedom.

It’s not practicing freedom, not aspiring towards freedom.

But living freedom, moment to moment.

Maybe we’ll get more into this again tomorrow.

But for now, be free.

LIBERATIONIS.COM

Good morning.

Without attending to anything in particular. No body, no name, no form. No past or future memory or projection. Just this.

And nothing can be said about it, really, not even awareness or anything like that.

Out of this pure being, which I like to call pure being, which is resting, No distinctions, simply itself as it is.

Out of this pure being arises a thought, for example. That’s very simple to see.

A little more subtle than that, out of this pure being arises the feeling or sense of I am.

But it’s a very subtle distinction between the sense of I am and just pure being. which really has no I am.

So out of this pure being, which can’t be described or labeled, but simply is, is born this feeling or sense of I am, which is the first touch of manifestation of the personal, person.

And then attached to that is the myriad, manifold appearances of thought, sensation, emotion and the world.

So this pure being, you can say, is unborn.

It simply is prior to the birth of self and its first manifestation of I am prior to that.

Unborn being. simply is. And be that for a moment.

This is what I call meditation, just simply being, no thing, unborn.

And inquiry is just to notice, just to notice birth.

again birth

again birth

again just to notice when this no thing unborn being becomes a thing, supposedly, like called self, me, I am

And not to do anything about it. What’s to do? Just notice how it is, how it works from unborn to born.

And again, from unborn to born.

And recognize the unborn.

And do nothing,

just be.

It’s good to be with you. I’ll be back again tomorrow.

Peace.
