Eyes open. Are you awake, are you asleep?
Eyes closed. Are you asleep, are you awake?
You discover!
Day 1 Session 3
Are you Clear hat Light comes out of You?
Are you clear that light comes out of what you are?
You might have got to the place where you're clear that you are light.
But then you might get to a place that even light come out of what you are ,
so therefore you must be prior to light."
Knowing and Knowledge
Knowing is light knowing light . Knowledge is time-space or identification with experience seemingly belonging to a concept of a person. That's knowledge . Knowing is not the known. It will at some point come in as knowing knowing ...it never actually becomes known unless you identify with its manifestation in space time.
If Brad is known, that’s knowledge. That's just imprinting, patterns ..’I like this I don't like that ..bla bla bla.’ That's that. But if you are knowing being knowing, that will never actually enter time. Brightness without filters shines. And everything throughout the universe is shining the illumination of knowing knowing itself .
Manifestation then is instant. It is not a something that manifests in a space-time . It is shining now.
Is the mind designing you as an identity?
Is the mind designing 'Brad'? Is the mind designing activity through a locate-able somebody? Or is being just shining and you can't find anyone there but this brightness?
Wherever you are dull…
'Wherever you are dull you're immediate light is not allowed to enter because every concept will disappear. In other words change . When we want to keep out BM identification we're holding in to the conditional aspects of our self as if that's more valuable than the invisible illumination everything, which is Self. What is the nature of Self ? I don't know ...surely it's spontaneity.
Doors to deeper Reality ( The Form )
How many doors into deeper reality do you have ? And how many doors into deeper reality are in the body?
Is there deeper reality in the body? If there is deeper reality in the body, why stay with something that is less.?
Move to the deeper realities within the body..this is the very nature of the practice of The Form Reality Practice .
Mind is a concept
Who can see the mind? Who can say the mind is a concept? In deep dreamless sleep, would you say whoever you are knows mind or knows anything? I say, that as you awaken to being aware, which I just called 'never not here', you awaken to Awareness being the ground of it all. So you begin to see you can be aware of being aware and that never goes anywhere.
As you beginning to awaken to being aware in this human life or this three dimensional life ..if you awaken to being aware here- Now. So it’s not the awareness of a thing ...I am aware of a glass, I am aware of a flower ..come to the next level. I am aware of being aware. It's clear is it not ...here is awareness of an appearance and a felt solidity of what you call a glass. In the dream state a glass may still appear but it will appear differently to this one here . and as you go deeper you will discover that being aware of the glass is simply showing you that the glass is made of awareness. All this is the manifestation of awareness. and as Awareness begins to be aware of being aware of the glass it begins to experience light ..and another way of saying light is knowing ..
In what we call this room or this experience of being human .most humans only have one slide show of light . They do not know invisible light. This is visible light , but there is a whole spectrum of the singularity of light , which appears as the universe and rather like being in a cinema which is absolutely black and light shines and there is the screen with an apparent solid experience and to you what you are seeing appears sold ..that's no different to you seeing that glass , that's no different than seeing each other.
That glass on the cinema screen is no different than this glass sitting here. You could say a different energetic attune-ment or energetic value ..frequency but nonetheless when you look at a cinema screen , the glass there is as solid as that glass there. They’re the same
Being Aware
Being aware you transcend object -subject -ivity.
You begin to be aware of being aware...and the fulfilment!
I cannot tell you what the fulfilment is ...it's not something that you're heading to.
It's what you discover you already are .
So as awareness you can be aware of being aware in deep dreamless sleep. No one there but awareness. But from being aware of being aware light happens . The black let's light ad light happens ....
The singularity of that light within its stream has many streams ..some of these streams are made visible , depending on what apparatus consciousness has . In the human domain consciousness has the apparatus of sense perception ....
The apparatus of mind turns light into sense perception. and between light and light manifesting there is the sound of creation which is now and it’s that sound of creation that is the universal mind. You might find this in ancient teaching....but that Big Bang is mind that makes it possible for awareness and the letting of light , which is not sense perception but living awareness, Some call that the divine realms , unmanliest, invisible light and the sound of the big bang is the sound of the mind that is the creator source ...but there is no one there creating . So the big bang is the moment of that mind that I am saying is a concept. The big bang , which I am saying is universal mind and all within it is still that light and awareness and never did it involve anybody or anything and we call that God or Source consciousness and yet we call ourselves human.
From that realisation ..whoever realises that and I am suggesting that Awareness or the Self realises itself , then the knowing of that as a concept becomes true and real because of what one is and then one sees the play and the game . That the big bang is a play of the insensible worlds of light streaming from the source of Awareness in the same instant .
What we call mind is a space without limit of the outpouring of light and Awareness. The light of Awareness without knowing that it is doing it , creates mind . Mind is rather like the canvas in which the light of Awareness pills onto and in the moment of that Big Bang ..that big bang contains all the elements for sense perception. So there is a reconfiguration of light as energy and that energy configures itself in the elements ..fire water air ether and earth ..and in my experience ..whoever he is ..you can actually commune and communicate with those elements.
We are Creators
Here we all are in our apparent lives, not realising that we're creating it ourselves. Not as someone, but as what we are a...it just happens spontaneously
But our tendency in this third dimensional domain to add thought and opinion onto experience and create an experiencer and an experience. That creates trauma ..because you will always try to get back to what you were before and so you need to sustain past and future and that creates trauma ..rather than really you are endeavouring to get back to the Now, the true you , where there is no trauma , because that is true you.
Mind is a concept in which it becomes possible to experience being aware, being aware of the created . The point is being aware of the created d the uncreated ..that's the Self. The mind conceptualises everything. Being doesn't and yet from Being, what you call mind begins to flower and demonstrate directly to you: "You are fullness , neither born nor unborn. You are the fullness!"
True Power
We have no idea how much power is inherent in being what you NOW are.
Tremendous power is creating this moment of your appearance.
Even the shape of the body, this is why Da Vinci ..you know the Vitruvian man ..this is a geometric shape symbol of power and when the beyond creates a geometric shape of what we call the cosmos or the universe. And there is nothing in the universe that does not contain the geometric shapes of power. Just like when we dance The Form...
Our body is the mudra or the symbol of a greater power. That is also how we are also able to give power to anything that we do , anything that we say. that we think anything that we feel. So we actually create geometric shapes that empower either the way we think about ourselves, how with think about others , how we feel about ourselves or other. We create these geometric shapes that give power to our ideas of ourselves and others.
When you drop all that idea you come to the pure shape of you, which is radiant, which is the power of Now, which is the power of the beyond , which is the power of Now appearing here and now is creation and when you return to that power
When you return to that power and there is not a word that you say or a thought that you think that does not contain original light and power. Life becomes powerfully simple, powerfully joyful , powerfully blissful, powerfully radiant. You can’t make it happen. It's just your simple return to discovering what you are .
As you sit with yourself and others, be very aware of the shape you give your power to . separate sense of self and other or the One?
That power that we thought we belonged to , the belief system is very powerful but your original power, which is of presence is the one and only single power - the true I .
That's how we learn to transform those ideas we have about self an other - we discover we are that one
Why not give power to what you are at the deeper level of your heart. That realigns everything and we begin to experience the transformation of self , the transformation of life and we begin to enter a different possibility in life . It's not the person that enters that , that person is the instrument of awareness moving deeper, awakening more deeply. But that person then begins to be the manifest instrument o that power and that person then begins to be anointed in and as that power. Such a person does not experience death. I am in another place one can say.
Awakening as Presence
If you are awakening in the manner we are looking at, as Presence, your body is the presence of verticality and depth. Your body transmits that verticality and that depth and it relates to that and it moves that spontaneously. Literally a cosmic being of divine potentiality.
The whole cosmos is feeding this point of itself to express what it is . Its ability to manifest the unusual to manifest the unseen, to manifest the next without concerns, past or future. And what is manifestation? An unusual appearance of That that cannot be explained. That that has no beginning or end. That hat is God-like in nature.
The body mind becomes completely free here and you become completely free to express what you discover you are in the Now.
Eyes Open - discover the expansion of your own Awareness.
You may begin to actually see that things are in a different place . The chairs in this space have more spaciousness around them as if they were floating in a sea that is invisible..Such openness doesn't make one superior , such openness makes one available to serve.
This is what you are as you are walking down the street, a transmission of possibilities that are inherent in everybody.. You are not someone walking down the street doing the same old thing. You are a living star..shining possibility. Awakening self to Self. Some people call that shepherding ..to me it is just plain natural.
