Good Morning Wake Up

Good morning, everyone. Pure subjective consciousness. This means I am and I know that I am. Being knowing itself. Consciously aware of myself as I. So let’s just do that for a moment. Be here, not knowing any other object, but only knowing I am. ««»»There’s no name or color or texture or form to this pure being.««»»Prior even to the subtle feeling somehow within the body of being here. Prior to that pure knowing, pure being. Because even that subtle feeling in the body is a known object. And so take one step further back into pure being. ««»»Don’t be concerned with any objects that are appearing, sensations or thoughts or anything else, sounds.Nothing to deny, but just don’t be concerned with any of that. Just be concerned with knowing myself, I. ««»»This is always here, true. Mostly we’re not consciously aware of it because our attention is going outward to the mutable, changeable forms. ««»»But for now, for a moment, don’t attend to any of that. Just pure subject, consciously aware. I know. ««»»Take some time for this. It’s good in the mornings to start with this. Or take five minutes any time during the day, just for being pure being. Have a holiday. ««»»It’s good to be with you. Have a beautiful day.

Good morning, everyone. I thought I’d share yesterday’s opening holiday from the Zoom Open Meeting. For new people, I speak for maybe 15 minutes or so to introduce what I call a Holiday, which if you listen to my Good Morning Wake Up, it’s kind of similar to that, or the same. Just so we come to be together in a recognition of pure being. And then after that we can talk.So for a moment, just know you’re here. Make it simple. Just know you’re here.Not as anything. I don’t mean know you’re here as your name and form and body. Just much simpler than that. I know I’m here.Consciously aware.««»»When attention isn’t going to thoughts or sensations, and not to deny anything, but when attention isn’t going there, that manifested appearance of form, when attention is just on itself, I know that I am, then we see what is always true, what’s always here prior to those movements, always I. ««»»What am I?Am I Salvadore? Am I the opinions and beliefs that are held here in this mind? Am I this body? Am I the myriad experiences that have happened to this body? Am I the impressions that have entered to the empty mind here, since birth? American and a million other things. Is that what I am? ««»»If that’s what I am, then If I’m not thinking about those things or attending to those things, then I don’t exist.If that’s what I am, then in deep sleep when none of those things exist at all, then I don’t exist. But clearly I do exist in deep sleep. I know I exist. I remember how beautifully I slept.I remember in the morning when I wake up and think, “oh no, not this again. I want to go back to sleep because it’s so beautiful”. So obviously I exist in deep sleep. But this body doesn’t exist in deep sleep. This history doesn’t exist in deep sleep. These traumas even don’t exist in deep sleep.None of that exists in deep sleep, and yet I am.So who am I? ««»»What am I?««»»So a holiday right now, a holiday is to know myself as if in deep sleep, essentially.Prior to the movement of all the thoughts and sensations and histories and projections. Prior to all of that.Here and now, pure subject, I know that I am. It has no color, no name, no form, no texture. Simply pure being.And I have to say I. ««»»So what am I?««»»What have I been the entire time this body has been here, 69 years? What have I been this entire 69 years that has always been here and never changed one iota?What have I been? What is that? ««»»Interestingly, this body, 69 years of change, constant change, not one billionth of a millisecond of stagnation, it’s constantly changed since it came out of the womb, has not stayed the same for one second. All of the thoughts and experiences of this body-mind have come and gone. The opinions have changed. The beliefs. New stories have been created and disappeared.Experiences have come and gone. Places have come and gone. People have come and gone. All of that has constantly changed for 69 years, yet one thing hasn’t changed. What is that?««»»Let’s have a holiday. Right now. Pure being. ««»»Now, as I’ve always been, unchanging, pure being.That’s what a holiday is.A holiday isn’t a little kumbaya around the fireplace. Let’s all be in the now together.A holiday is an atom bomb that completely overturns your entire world.««»»So for a moment,I am I.I am I, pure subject. There’s no object involved in this knowing. There’s no object involved in this knowing.There’s only I knowing myself. ««»»The end of the line. ««»»It’s pulling the rug out from under your feet. It’s pulling the rug out of the ego’s feet. ««»»It’s exposing the... I don’t like the word illusion. It’s exposing the actor for what it is. Actor character for what it is, which is an actor character.And it’s revealing the reality, what actually is. ««»»That’s all I have to say. ««»»It’s good to be with you. Have a beautiful day.

Good morning, everyone.What is it that’s seeking or looking to find something new, fix something or change something?And what is actually true, to use a word? Let’s be on holiday for a moment. ««»»This what is, you could say this moment, as it is now, it’s actual. It’s what is.Whatever the appearance is now in the body, the sensory objects, those are what is.««»»So what non-duality points to, and I don’t use that word that much, but what it does point to is that this moment now, as it is, is the Absolute. The Absolute is in somewhere else or something else. The Absolute is this.This is the appearance of the Absolute.And this is why I often say there’s nothing behind the curtain. What you see or what is in this moment is all of it.So there’s nothing behind the curtain as far as an absolute that is somehow separate from this, knowing this or creating this, something like that. And there’s nothing behind the curtain as far as time, past and future, that this moment came from somewhere and is going somewhere else.««»»In your own experience, other than the conceptual ideas of mind and the rising I, But in your own actual experience, all there is is this.There’s nothing else.««»»In your own actual experience, there is no time. In your own actual experience, there’s nothing behind this as far as an absolute or something like that.So out of this absolute appearing as it is now also rises the separate, contracted sense of an individual I here.Just as every object in this current field of consciousness is the Absolute. Also the separative rising I that seems to appear is as well the Absolute. It’s the Absolute rising as a separate I. ««»»But that movement of separate I has a story of self. And that story of self has to do with time, past and future. And as we just recognized, all there is is this. There’s nothing behind the curtain, which means there is no past and future, which means that story is really a myth and a fantasy. ««»»Believing in that story is what causes discomfort and suffering and the contracted sense of self.««»»This you have to see for yourself, of course, like everything.When thoughts appear, that’s fine. There’s no problem in thoughts appearing. There’s no one creating those thoughts. There’s no one behind the thoughts either. The thoughts themselves are not ego. They’re just simply thoughts.««»»Believing those thoughts to be what I am is called ego, the rising I.««»»And it’s that belief that creates our world, our worldview, our sense and feeling of separation, all of our beliefs and our suffering, our fear, our aversion, desire, all of those things.««»»And so if all of those things that we see are a myth and a fantasy, then there’s nothing to kill. There’s nothing to get over. There’s nothing even to transcend. All there is in my suggestion is for a moment, come out into the sun of pure being that is prior to that rising I, which is simply belief. ««»»And see that in fact, all there is is what is.««»»Without the mind separating or conceptualizing, for example, there is form and the absolute, two different things. Without the mind conceptualizing, literally, bare naked, open knowing or being, then there’s no one here and there’s nothing other than this. So, for a moment, good morning. Pure being. No one home. ««»»It’s good to be with you.

Good morning, everyone.Another beautiful morning here in the forest. What about you doesn’t change? What about you has been here your entire life, the same always? Certainly the body has constantly changed, so that’s not it. Thoughts, millions upon millions have come and gone. So that’s not consistent. Sensations of the body, emotions of the body, all changing, coming and going.Every one of the impressions perceived by the senses, constantly changing. Sights and sounds and tastes and all of that, constantly changing. But is there something that never changes, that’s been the same exactly your entire life? When we say ‘I’, we are almost always referring to this body.And when I say this body, it means everything affiliated with the body. The physical body, the sensations, thoughts, all of the sensory perceptions, emotions.So when I say the body, it’s everything. So when we say I, it’s that that we’re referring to. This body and all of its affiliations. ««»»But there is something else. When we say ‘I’ really, what it points to is that which has been here my entire life. I can say I now and consciously know that I am.Ten years ago I could have said I and consciously know that I am. When I was in high school, I could consciously say I and know that I am. When I was seven years old, I could say I and know that I am. And all the way back to my earliest memories, I could say I and know that I am. That’s what a holiday is pointing to, that, that I that has been here the entire time, that has not changed. So just now for a moment, know I, which isn’t the body in all of its affiliations, which has no name or form to it. Which is simply pure being. Which is eternal. Which is never changing. For a moment. Just simply be. ««»»The movements of the body and again all of its affiliates doesn’t stop changing, doesn’t stop moving. None of those ever will. But that which knows all of that is the same now as it was a few minutes ago and will be a few minutes from now as well. Just notice that. Be here for a moment. And then there’s a good chance in a relatively short period of time, something will attract your attention, most likely thoughts. And attention will go there. You’ll, in a word, forget to be paying attention to yourself. And then shortly after that, it will dawn on you that you have forgotten to pay attention to yourself and you’ll come back to paying attention to yourself again. And notice it’s exactly the same as it was before you went on a short little journey of attention to objects. See this for yourself. So let’s sit here for a couple of minutes.Just notice The movement of attention, going to the ever-changing form, and then coming back to the changeless I, which is the same always. ««»»As you see, it’s very natural for attention to go to objects. No problem at all, why shouldn’t it? We’re not trying to attain some new state. We’re just coming to know something that is eternal, doubtlessly. And so throughout the course of your day, come back to this noticing or this recognition that I am the same as I was two hours ago, when I had a holiday. And as I was two years ago, if I had had a holiday then, I’m always the same. ««»»It’s good to be with you. Have a beautiful day.

Good morning, everyone. We arrived in Pennsylvania a couple of days ago, deep in the woods, in a nice house, very, very quiet. Let’s just be openly knowing together. ««»»Nothing at all to attain and no one to need to attain anything. ««»»Simple being. Utterly simple. ««»»Anything other than the most utter simplicity of being is the I rising in opposition to something. It can be very subtle. It can be a simple sense that something is not quite right or complete. It can be, of course, a much more gross appearance. Fear, anxiety, worry, concern. But anything other than pure, unadulterated, simple being, which can’t be described in words really, anything other than that is the sense of an I here in opposition and dividing something.««»»So just notice that movement. ««»»In pure being, time stops. There is no time. Time is simply an illusion created by the appearance of a self that exists in time. But out of that illusion right now, in actuality, what actually is, is this, no time. ««»»So there’s nothing to do. If anything at all is just simply to be.««»»And to notice that anything other than no thing, which is what pure being is, anything other than no thing or nothing is thought or the movement of the rising I. ««»»Even in the most subtle movement of rising I, the entire world of self is born. And that’s fine, no problem. I don’t make a problem of it.But we see that that world created by the rising I, or part and parcel of the rising I, is really a phantom. It doesn’t actually exist because what does exist is this. No time. ««»»The rest is a story. ««»»So what we do on Holiday is just to be out of the story. And there’s no one to do that.Somehow, maybe, these words are heard and the movement of rising Ifor a moment ceases. And then there’s simply what is.««»»And why I say gentle, and why I say for a moment, because any efforting to get there or to hold that is, again, the rising I, self, that appearance. ««»»It’s more correct, if you can put it that way, just to be it. That seems impossible. There’s no effort to just be it, but that’s the best and clearest way to say it without adding effort and doership and someone who’s doing that.So I just say for a moment, be. ««»»Well, I think that’s all I have to say, really. Just for a moment, be nothing. No one. ««»»It’s good to be with you. Have a beautiful day.
