REMINDERS



“We are here to awaken from our illusion of separatedness” - Thích Nhất Hạnh


Remain as what remains – Mooji (https://youtu.be/2TD33MBj88o)

Lord Krishna says, “To regard me as the one Present in all beings, to look upon all beings as Myself in thought, word and deed is, I think, the best of all methods of worship. O dear one, whosoever devotes himself to My worship and service without expectation of reward, will never go wrong or lose the benefit of any portion of his service. Not even a little of the labor in my righteous course, even a beginning of it, would be lost. There is not the least chance of fear in the Bhagavata path. Even what is otherwise fruitless, becomes a dharma when it is unselfishly offered to me. So, it has been ordained by Me because it is unaffected by gunas, it is free from desire. It is a law of righteousness that the discharge of duty without expectation of reward must lead to good.” For those who listen and follow, this is an invitation for further communion. The call is incessant. One can hear it when he wills. – Bhagavad Gita



"The more you know yourself, the more clarity there is. Self knowledge has no end. You dont come to an achievement. You dont come to a conclusion. It is an endless river." - Krishnamurti

Never assume that you have attained truth. Don't make any claim to knowledge. Form no conclusion or evaluation concerning truth. The minute you do, your downfall is assured. Whenever you imagine you know something, you cease being open to the living exploration. You have closed a door and cut off the oxygen to the breathing truth - Mooji


I AM HERE BUT NOT IN PERSON – MOOJI JI

It is true that we can never see ourself as a thing, or as an object of awareness. And we certainly cannot ever see awareness; we cannot see our own seeing. But there is a mysterious and profound way in which our true nature recognizes itself -- not as something “out there” that we can see or relate to, but as the totality itself recognizing itself. – Awakening to Reality – Adyashanti (https://www.facebook.com/Awakening-to-Reality-106309876205735/)


YOU KNOW YOU ARE
BUT WHAT YOU ARE YOU CANNOT TOUCH

AND YET IT IS THE MOST REAL THING
IT ALONE REMAINS UNCHANGING COMPLETE
IT GIVES LIFE TO LIFE
AND LIFE TAKES CARE OF LIFE
JUST BE ONE WITH IT (STAY IN THE I AM)

IT WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO LOVE IT
TO APPRECIATE IT. TO RECOGNISE IT.
A KIND OF A NON-PHENOMENAL RECOGNITITION

YOU ARE STANDING AT THE PLACE OF I AM-ness ITSELF
AND AT THE HEART OF THE I AM IS THE ABSOLUTE

WITH YOUR INTUITIVE MIND YOU ARE ALREADY ON YOUR WAY
YOU ARE ALREADY IN THE HEART OF BEING

BE LIFE
AND IT WILL REVEAL ITS MYSTERIES
IN ACCORDANCE WITH YOUR CAPACITY
OR WITH ITS WISHES..WHICH IS NO OTHER THAN YOU
GRADUALLY THIS SENSE OF THE INDEPENDANT YOU
WHO SEEM TO HOLD A SENSE OF SEPARATEDNESS FROM THE TOTALITY
THAT INDEPENDANT SENSE OF YOU WILL GRADUALLY MERGE
IN THE TOTALITY
THIS MERGING IN THE TOTALITY IS STILL IN THE DREAM
BUT IT HAS TO HAPPEN 
BECAUSE THERE IS ONLY THE ONE
IT MANIFESTS AS BILLIONS AND TRILLIONS
YOUR PART IS TO SURRENDER TO IT. TO WELCOME IT
THE SAME ONE WHO ABSORBED ME IS ABSORBING YOU

(ONCE YOU GET A TASTE OF THIS YOU DONT WANT ANYTHING ELSE.)

-       Mooji
(same as above "The more you know yourself, the more clarity there is. Self knowledge has no end. You dont come to an achievement. You dont come to a conclusion. It is an endless river." – Krishnamurti)

I AM NOTHING IS A MORE PROFOUND REALISATION THAN EVERYTHING IS ONE (my big problem..whew thank you Mooji ) NOTHINGNESS IS CONSTANT BUT SOMETHING NESS IS CHANGING..THAT IS WHY (how wonderfully explained ! and such a relief..so just to stay in the I AM ..which in any case is my natural state so I have to just be not do) HE THEN SAYS…THIS I AM NESS TAKES CARE OF EVERYTHING…ONE’S EFFORTLESS BEING MARINATING IN ITSELF.


Be an adventurer
Deeply investigate, consider and attempt to live the Way of Freedom.
Be not like the masses, but take the risk in this, your only life while relinquishing your attachment to life and all that supports it.
God will Lead you, Sustain you, Purify and Change you along with Way of Freedom until only He remains. 
The Way requires Life, but is always Freedom in the very midst of Existence.  

 ..”what I came to in my meditation and study is that when enlightened or even partially enlightened, the ideal pattern is for us to rest in pure awareness aka silent alert mind. From this luminous silence something emerges that is called by Krishnamurti and Buddhism, the "first thought", if we watch this thought without clinging and resistance, this "seed" will develop naturally, lead to a feeling intuition and then supportive actions in the world, and when complete return and dissolve back into luminous silence. This is the "creative wave" of an enlightened being and it will be what heals the world when enough of us wake up and live this way - William

CLINGING
All Clinging shuts – out God. The very attempt to Cling to God shuts out the very God one is trying to cling to. ALLOW GOD.




I am not a cow, or thistles for camels
to browse on. People who insult me
are only polishing the mirror – Rumi

"Pain is the hammer of the gods to break
A dead resistance in the mortal's heart,
His slow inertia as of living stone."
-          Aurobindo


He who would save the race must share its pain – Aurobindo

One who knows Purusha and Prakriti together with their qualities, in whatever state one exists, will not be born again.

Only the Self can see the Self







In trying to perform any action effectively, I distinguish two kinds
of sensation—one with tension in which the energy is stopped, and
another without tension in which the energy is liberated – Mme De Salzmann
In engaging in an action, what I am seeking is not to perfect my
performance but to become effective through my being. The true relation
between my being and the aim depends on carrying out the action
without the participation of the ego. To discover this has great importance.
Then I need to find a feeling of unity that is not destroyed by the
agitation of my ego. I have to come to the point where there is no more
tension, no separation between me and the aim, where my ego no longer
wants to be recognized. – Mme De Salzmann (Self operating direct..yet each time this does not happen I stay and then the Self deepens)

EXPERIENCE THE ENERGY OF THE THOUGHTS AND EMOTIONS.
·         Enjoying sexual pleasures is like taking a sweetened ball of poison. Nothing covers the Self as much as this. The more this desire fades away, the thinner will be the cover.
·         Men consider sexual instinct as bad in its gross manifestation. Decrying it in this way is not going deep enough, for they still enjoy the inclination inwardly. As long as this state of mind continues sexual impulse will not be checked. To understand that there is no real pleasure in it is the correct understanding.
·         The thought of death brings about renunciation. For an aspirant the thought of death is a means of advancement
-          Brahmajna Ma

Free Will is sacred. Free choice is at the heart of who and what we are. (William) (clue to right action)
Sri M precautions for one in the path.

Sometimes I meet beings who say they have realised the Self. They believe or claim that they know and understand the Truth. They say they sense it, feel it and are convinced it is what they are and so on. However, it is often sensed here that the mind takes delivery for this understanding and purchases further life as the egoic ‘achiever’ of ultimate Truth. Consequently, the realisation does not get baptised in the Heart and a real chance of freedom gradually fades away. Therefore, such beings can retain their sense of personhood, unknowingly. Some even edit my words to fit in with their personal inclinations, projections and spiritual fantasies, but I want to burn all of this to the ground so that they attain true freedom.What we speak about here is authentic transcendence, you see? One has to overcome the hypnosis of personal conditioning. They have to be free from the psychological influence of the mind. I don’t mean that you should ‘stop’ your mind but rather, focus on the witness of mind. Therefore, it has to be an authentic transcendence, not a Hollywood awakening.Sometimes I say I don’t want or feel for your company. You indulge too much mental and psychological noise. There are too many relationships going on inside your mind. Your representations of yourself mentally, emotionally, psychically are not authentic expressions of the Self. Such a localised identity is not enough at this level of understanding, insight or, we could say, Self-knowledge.So what has to happen?You have to be That.How are you going to be That?The ‘you’ who you take yourself to be cannot be That. Being That is not a verb, an action you will take. It is an awakening, a recognition so profound that it changes your mind’s orientation immediately and irreversibly. As real understanding takes over, it will be a life changing experience.It is as though I am telling you to do something,’ as ego, cannot do.Your mind cannot do it, but it is required of you to recognise, acknowledge and be That which you are.You have to be open to expose what is not in service to your true nature. It is the highest aspect of my work, guidance or teaching and it is more like an energetic correspondence, not only a verbal one. Let the untrue be exposed and thoroughly burned. Sometimes the way into that completeness, that recognition, is that whatever is untrue is rejected as it is recognised as false, either by you or by me. And you may be thinking, ‘Oh my god, I really thought I was getting somewhere! This is so discouraging’…and so your world feels like it is turned upside down. Do not be disheartened; instead keep an attitude of gratitude. It is your good fortune that your ‘world’ is being crushed. I myself don’t have a world. Let yours be upside down so that what is true in you can reveal itself and begin unfolding in its authentic expression as true life and being. Grace is helping you in every way. Trust it. Say, ‘Yes, I am here, remove this sense of separation, this arrogance of separateness and merge me in you, oh God, oh Universe Being, Self, Truth, Life. Don’t give me any technique. Absorb me. Replace me with You.’ And finally: Trust your master.

 Mooji

When we fix the attention inside the Heart, inside the Self, we don’t have to keep taking the temperature of the ego

Because automatically it’s like a slow release tablet and it’s just continuing to do its work of removing and cleaning out that house of Being 

Because your faithfulness and loyalty is to the Truth, so something is working on your behalf whether you are actively doing it or not, it’s just cleaning

It’s like your medicine, you take it, and whether you forget about it or not, it’s inside doing its work 

Same understanding, once you’re there, it never leaves you, this love never leaves you, then it continues to do its work inside 

You find that you’re getting much more attentive, much more sensitive, more in the moment with things, it’s not so easy to deceive your mind anymore, it’s taken out 

That is the day, that is a true day 

It’s happening already, you’re not at the beginning...

- Beloved Master, Sri Moojibaba

Meister Ekhardt
…Yet in that ground is the silent 'middle': here nothing but
rest and celebration for this birth, this act, that God the Father may
speak His word there, for this part is by nature receptive to nothing
save only the divine essence, without mediation. Here God enters
the soul with His all, not merely with a part. God enters here the
ground of the soul. None can touch the ground of the soul but God
alone.
