Satsang with Helen Hamilton

What do you do when an emotion comes up? What happens when you make a mistake? Can you simply allow what is without telling a story? This is awakening deepening. Don't tell stories about your stories! Don't take ownership as a separate being.18:16 Q1: I am sad and confused to discover that I am not who I thought I was. 21:34 Q2: Normally my mind is in the Self but when I am with other beings it becomes chatty and messy and I can't control it. 27:05 Q3 I have chronic fatigue, OCD, I have contemplated the belief of whether there is something wrong with me and although it already seemed irrelevant there doesn't seem to be any change. Do I have to accept the illness to overcome it or keep asking questions? 32:20 Q4: Don't stay in a half awakening believing that Consciousness is just the formless. If I say there is something that is not Me, I am still in separation and avoidance. 37:54 Q5: You say don't take ownership of thoughts but what should I do to avoid them? Some just come and I identify and believe them. 41:36 Q6: How can I maintain my centre in an environment that sees me as a demon?How do I as a journalist apply this to my profession? 48:36 Q7: When I have negative emotions I identify with the separate self. Are these beliefs and resistance at the soul level...is having this incarnation to dissolve these limitations? HH: Let go of the ideas and expectations of what being Awake should be like, accept all the ways it shows up today, including those emotions. The desire for something to change is not resistance. But the rejection of that desire ‘I should feel good even if there is anger’ is.

Attention moves to thoughts, the body contracts but we are still free. The powerful last few minutes of this Satsang will change your whole life!2:40 I had the experience of waking up but then going back to sleep. Why?. There is also financial insecurity and I don't know what to do. How to stop worrying about what's going on in life? 12:41 I think ending a relationship is going to cause me a lot of pain and sacrifices. 17:36 You said that Consciousness is happy with everything but how to understand this knowing there is people suffering from war? 26:35 Is it so that me as the Totality cannot suffer lack and me as individual I can suffer in order to learn something? 32:34 I have a sense of lack and deep sadness that is not solved by anything external. 42:16 I understand that the Noumenon is everything but as a separate self, my experience is different. 56:48 I know it's not worth trying to fix anything as a separate being but I want to see it more clearly.

In this beautiful Satsang we explore how the idea of being a separate person that is making decisions is the cause of all guilt and shame. If we believe we are a separate person, we will feel we are making the right or wrong decisions and it is simply not true. All is unfolding spontaneously as the infinite Self in which there are no other beings. We are free now and from this place of freedom we can look at any emotion and allow it to release.00:00 There are many drugs and certain practices such as sleep and light deprivation,... that produce a state of disidentification with the ego. Aren't enlightenment states another psychotic and permanent state of mind? How to prove otherwise ? 05:57 I still believe that I am the body, a person, I am not sure of being my real Self, I still feel anger, envy, jealousy, in spite of my constant spiritual quest. Can you please talk a little bit about it and help me with this? 11:37 If enlightenment is freedom from the feeling of being separate, then who is the one who is free from that feeling of separateness? 14:40 The heart sutra. Emptiness is form, form is emptiness.Could the analogy of this teaching be that of lucid dreaming, that is, living completely this dream we call life, without attachment to or rejection of its content, but knowing and recognising at all times its dream nature? 17:25 If I am the Universe there is nothing that can be against what I want to do and I just have to see how I am blocking the power. On the other hand you says that there is nothing you can do but observe and taking away the idea that you are doing something. That there are no decisions that we make. How can you understand this two things? 19:54 As the Noumenon: does intention generate the phenomena that we perceive? Do we determine reality? 22:45 When we discarnate, does the mind remain the same or does it disappear?When I meditate and the mind is silenced, I am like emptiness, I am nothing, is that correct?26:13 If there is no separate self then there is no good or bad , war and peace is one because there is no separation. There is only one, unity, i.e. no one can die or live because the ego is illusory, (the person), therefore no one leaves a better or worse world. It is an illusory game and each character gives it reality, by believing ourselves a body, and a person with beliefs, prejudices, we judge the world. I also believe that we don't have free will even if we recognise ourselves as a unit because there is no one there. I would love your advice, is it something like that?, or am I wrong?30:29 Something has happened to me lately after contemplating, that I started having disturbing dreams. First I used to wake up with a fluttering heart but lately even though the dreams are disturbing when I wake up the heart stays calm but now I feel what I felt in the heart in the solar plexus. 34:18 How can we love the misfortunes of the world, the murderers, the rapists... Is there such a thing as evil?, and how can we love it, and the parts of ourselves that we don't like, do we love them?39:22 Self inquiry: What are you?51:30 Contemplation: Experience: Skin problem. I can't find the emotion. I feel disconnected from the world. Belief: I can cause harm to another being 1:12:15 Contemplation: Experience of losing consciousness, family history of Alzheimer. Emotion: Fear of not being in control, of losing consciousness when I meditate. Belief: I can lose control

"Contemplation is a kind of art or science and is the most direct way I have found to transcend our karmic patterns. Only in the Silence is the root or seed of these patterns being destroyed" - Quote from this SatsangIn this Satsang Helen completes an explanation of the core practices of meditation, self-inquiry and contemplation.

Contemplation is the answer!

"Instead of looking for the right answer to the question "what am I really?" we can allow our life to be the experiential answer to this most important question. We can fall in love with the question more than any particular answer." Quote from this Satsang. What is self inquiry and how do we do it? In this Satsang Helen continues her explanation of the core of the teachings and shows us how to master meditation, self inquiry and contemplation as the keys to living our truth.

"Meditation in its simplest form is not trying to change your experience but rather noticing that in which all experiencing is happening. It is forming a new habit to pay attention to that which is unchanging and in the background of all experience" - quote from this Satsang. What is meditation and how do we work with it? What is the fastest and most direct way to come out of suffering? Join Helen as she explains what meditation and what it isn't. Enjoy this simple and powerful meditation with Helen.

In this Satsang we look at how the problematic areas of our lives are those in which we tend to think in a very narrow way. We can allow some different ways of thinking and therefore allow abundance to flow if we can look at things differently.We can ask the question "How would the infinite Self think about this?" to allow an openness and new thoughts to come in.

Contemplation is the art of challenging our deepest beliefs with an open question. Contemplation dissolves our karmic patterns and give us immunity from Suffering.

This Moment.Enjoy Helen's invitation to simply allow yourself to stop. To let go of any intention, anything you feel that you have to do and of anything you want to become.A stopping. Where everything just is. Allowing yourself to rest in this moment and to recognise where you already are-your place of wholeness.

Helen discusses her journey and these 3 ways of thinking that evolved when she was willing to look at and challenge what she was currently believing about Reality. She encourages us to be willing to question what thinking we are holding onto that might be holding us back.

In this Satsang, Helen answers questions on awakening and relationships. How does intimacy and awakening look in romantic relationships? How does it move in our family relationships? As awakening deepens for us, we will be asked to upgrade all our relationships to unconditional love.

You are not a form, subtle or tangible. No thought, emotion or experience can tell you about you! The whole realm of manifestation is playing inside you, the infinite Formlessness but they do not touch you. Letting go of looking for signs of progress or failure in our awakening from the realm of phenomena is freedom. You are already free and have always been, this is true no matter that state our lives are in right now.

Non-duality means that which is not two, but when we recognize our formless nature, we can subtly begin to reject everything that makes us human and feel divided again.In this Satsang excerpt, Helen urges us to go all the way and confirm that everything is the Self.

Can we ever really be at peace if we are waiting for our outer life to reflect back to us who we are? If we say that we will admit the Truth when we feel peace, joy and are experiencing the life that we want, it will never unfold that way. Instead, we can take our stand now as the infinite Being and watch our life begin to agree with us . Right now, we are already the Self.

"In just a few minutes we came to see that we can perceive objects with our senses and mind and we can effortlessly switch to perceiving the intangible formless Self that is our fundamental nature. We didn't have to prepare or do some exercises to get ready. Effortlessly you perceived what you really are. When we don't try to choose form or formless we are free."
