What are you saying to yourself? Don’t do anything about it—just listen. Learn.

Learn what you are saying to yourself. Again, don’t do anything about it. Just listen.

What are you telling yourself? Don’t judge it; simply observe. What are you telling yourself?

It is a strange phenomenon.

We might think we are aware of our internal narrative—our self-talk. B…

At some stage you will be asked to wake up from awakening.

To wake up from spirituality.

To wake up from non-duality.

And when that happens, what is asked of you is to step fully back into life.

To step fully back into life as a human being and to engage in human life.

But to engage as a liberated human being.

What is asked of you is to live that liberation, to embody it, and not just simply sitting, spaced out.

Stories that it entertain itself with.

Stories that it sometimes terrifies itself with.

Stories that sometimes makes it happy.

Stories that sometimes makes it sad.

Stories that creates all kinds of emotions.

The human mind is a storytelling machine.

It is a marvelous tool.

There is so much potential creativity. Creation.

But there is a... What to call it?

There …

An agreed upon reality.

That is actually what is going on.

Although it is actually a bit funny because nobody knows that it is an agreed-upon reality.

And now you might wonder what I mean when I say an agreed-upon reality.

Okay, I will try to explain that.

Human society is a mix of a lot of different agreed-upon realities.

And by that I mean social norms, ideas about how society should function.

And these ideas, they are agreed upon realities.

Or perhaps I should say they are constructions, reality constructions that are not questioned.

Or they are questioned, but only very marginally.

And that is the funny thing.

If someone, someone like me, starts to question the structure of these agreed upon realities, if someone starts to question radically the reality about these agreed-upon realities.

Then one becomes an outcast, an enemy of the agreed-upon reality.

And the only thing I actually do is that I'm shining a light.

I'm shining a light on the system saying, It does not have to be like this.

And most human beings are not aware of that fact.

You need to observe the contents of the mind—the beliefs, convictions, ideas—all of it. That is what veils the truth.

In the gaps of silence within my videos, this veil thins.

That’s why the mind becomes uncomfortable with these pauses, these moments of silence.

In those gaps, the mind grows restless. It struggles to find shelter.

So, during these silent mo…

It is the mind, always weaving, always reaching,that turns simplicity into struggle—and in that struggle, it pretends to be in control.Impatience, dressed as wisdom.

When things are simple,the mind grows restless.It does not know how to rest in stillness.

It wants a method.A technique.Something to fix, to chase, to solve.

But all that doing—all that effort…

The conditioned mind operates on the false premise that action is impossible without resistance.

It tells itself, "If I stop judging my circumstances as wrong, I will cease to do anything at all."

This is a very dualistic way of thinking—if it's not one extreme, it must be the opposite.

That is why, when confronted with the concept of surrendering to th…

This intelligence that you are is able to observe reality unfiltered.

The reality about what you are.

Silence. Stillness.

An unlimited ocean, of cosmic intelligence.

You are that. I am that. We are that.

And there are no conflicts within stillness. There are no disagreements. There are no doubts within stillness. There are no hatred within silence. There are…

It's not the absence of sounds.

So if you go out in nature, you will most likely encounter sounds.

The wind blowing through the treetops.

Birds squirreling.

The sounds from your footsteps.

But see if you can notice when you are out in nature that there is an all-pervading stillness, even though there are sounds.

Nature is free from any mental concept.

And that…

You will not only be fine.

You will be beyond any description.

Why would you be afraid of being fully authentic yourself?

What you are.

It is only all those old habits habits of trying to stay in control.
