"Once you become
accustomed to experiencing
what is here beyond your thinking,

(call it presence, awareness, consciousness)
then all that is left is to keep your focus here.

Which is the same thing as saying
to stop being identified with your thoughts,
to stop being involved with your thinking.

This seems simple enough
and would be quite easy
if it wasn't for self-importance.

A thought arises
and immediately you give it importance.

You think it is something that needs attention;
something that needs to be dealt with
or indulged or figured out.

You place more importance on the thought
then you do on awareness
and then awareness flys out the window.

That is why meditation
is so important.

You give yourself time every day
to say
'for this period of time
my focus will be
solely on awareness.'

Because then when the thought arises
about what you have to do for work tomorrow,
you will be willing to let it go
because you made the commitment to do so.

And because you have that time every day
that you use only for the purpose of awareness,
that awareness begins to overflow
into the rest of your day.

So that you will be driving to work
and without any effort or reason
you will find yourself
in a sublime state of peace.

Blessings,


Kip"

"You cannot realize the Self
through the senses.  

You cannot taste it, see it, 
hear it, smell it
and you cannot touch it.  

You have your eyes open.
You see and then label what you see.  
'This is my body.'
'This is my computer.'
'I am using my hands
to type on the computer.'  

But close your eyes and be still.

From this point of stillness
tell me about your hands.  

If you can't see them,
then where and what are they?  

You can say that you feel them
resting on your mouse or keyboard.  

But what is that feeling?
What is the sensation
that you are calling your hands?

Forget the defining
that they are your hands
and actually experience
what is here beyond the words.  

With your eyes closed
forget the defining of your body
and experience what you refer to
as your body.  

Not a part of it
but the whole thing.  

There is the sensation
that you are here,
but instead of defining it
as a body, as a name,
simply feel it.

Feel the sensation
of what is here.  

Feeling without touching.
Feeling without using words.  

Here you experience something
that you cannot define,
you cannot accurately describe.  

Because what is here
does not have boundaries,
cannot be described by the senses.  

But there is an experience of existing.
There is the awareness of existing.  

Here, existing and awareness
are one and the same.  

This is not something
that you can learn or understand.  

You have to close your eyes,
let go of thinking
and experience it.  

You will see
it is not a state
that comes and goes.  

It is what is always here
whether you give it attention or not.    

Blessings,    


Kip"

"You often hear
the popular slogans
'Be Happy'
'Be Grateful'
'Be Positive'  

But what happens
when you try and be these things
when they are not your experience?  

Suddenly you are imposing
a mask on top of what is already here.  

You are really saying to yourself
that how you truly are is unacceptable.  

And that you have to lie
to yourself and others
in order to feel accepted.  

If you really consider this
you will see that this is self hatred.  

Meditation
is about allowing yourself
to be exactly as you are.  

Simply in this allowing
there is peace.  

And from this allowing
comes awareness
and from awareness
comes transcendence.  

Simply by being aware
of what is here,
you no longer are confined
by the body/mind/ego,
you exist as awareness.  

Then your natural state
of love and gratitude shines forth.  

Not because of something you do,
but simply because that is what is.  

Awareness itself transforms.  

But any sense
of trying to control yourself
to change yourself
you empower your ego even more.  

You lock yourself further
into the idea that you
should be different than you are.  

So rather than be positive,
be naked,
without the make up and the hair extensions.  

Be aware of your experience
exactly as it is.

The moment you do this,
you rest as awareness.  

You move into your true state
of unconditional peace.  

Even in the awareness
of the deepest anger and sadness
there is incredible peace and bliss.  

The mind could be whining,
cursing and hating
and you would be immersed in bliss.  

This is the honest truth.  

Peace is not something you do,
it is what you are.  

It is what is naturally here
when you stop resisting this moment.  

Blessings,    


Kip"

"There is no end
to trying to figure it out.  

The mind is an endless puzzle
that has no solution.   

If it had a solution,
that would be the end of the reign of mind,
and the mind does not want that.  

The mind wants to exist
and it gets it's power
from you identifying
with thinking.  

And so it continues
to grab your attention
any which way it can.   

Just like a TV channel. 

The TV channel's purpose 
is to keep you watching.   
That is what it wants.   

So you are sitting there
and the TV channel
puts you on a tropical island
with beautiful people,
then you are flying an airplane,
then you are chasing bad guys.  

But it has nothing to do
with what is actually happening.   

What is actually happening
is you are sitting on the couch,
drinking a cup of tea.  

But in your experience,
there is no couch or tea.
How could there be
when you are flying an airplane?  

It is the same with mind.  

The thoughts are constantly
grabbing your attention.
And so the world you know to be real
is made up of your thoughts.  

But if you really look
beyond your thinking at what is here,  
you would experience something
totally different than what the mind perceives.  

Something that even if I tried
to describe to you,
you would miss.  

Because then it would
become knowledge,
it would become an interpretation
of what is actually here.  

For you to truly find out
what is here beyond interpretation,
you have to look.  

It is this looking that is most important,
it is the witnessing what is here
that sets you free.  

Whether you are
witnessing thoughts
witnessing sensations
it is all about the witnessing
not the objects themselves.  

Not the knowledge
of what you witnessed a second ago,
but the looking right here and now.  

Not witnessing to get something,
because then you are back in the mind.

The witnessing itself is fulfillment.  
The witnessing itself is joy.  

This is the key to freedom.    

Blessings,    

Kip"

"The nature of awareness
is freedom from identification.  

If you are aware of anger,
then you are not identified with anger.  

If you are aware of a thought,
you are not identified with the thought.  

The thought arises, the anger arises
but it has nothing to do with you.    


Identification
is always happening
at an unconscious level.  

You are walking to work
and unconsciously identification is there.
'My name is Jon, I am a dentist,
I am on Main st. where I turn left to go to my office...'  

Always defining
'This is me.'
'This is who I am;
this is where I am;
this is what I am doing;
this is where I am going;
this is where I have been.'  

So instead of practicing awareness
from the perspective of identity,
you could try consciously
not being identified with anything.  

You allow the thoughts,
body and sensations
to be as they are
but you consciously
disidentify with them.  

'This body is not mine,
this name is not mine,
these thoughts are not mine,
 this emotion is not mine,
this belief is not mine.'  

Not as words to repeat
but to consciously not identify
with anything at all.  

If you choose
to not have an identity
then awareness is automatic.  

You will experience life
in a completely different way.  

By consciously letting go of all identity,
you exist as energy,
as formless consciousness  

completely free of ego
& all the conflict and separateness
that goes with it.    

Blessings,    


Kip"

"There are 3 stages of mind
in meditation.  

The first stage is personal.  
The thoughts are about you,
your world, what you've seen,
heard, tasted, felt etc.  

It's experience is one of duality.
There is you and everything else.
Conflict and control,
desire and resistance.  

Once you learn
to witness your thoughts
instead of identify with them,
you enter into the second stage.  

In the second stage,
the thoughts are no longer
about your personal life.  

It is here you have dreams, visions,
and even beyond visions
you experience very subtle thoughts,
that are beyond words, sounds or images.  

Although you experience this,
you are not bound
by what you experience,
it no longer defines you.
 
There is no personal reaction
to what you experience.  

There is not the solid separation
that was there in the first stage.  

In the first stage
things happened to you.
In the second stage
there is just a happening
that arises in consciousness.  

In this stage
there is incredible bliss
and with the lovely visions to entertain you,
it is difficult to let go of the bliss
and take the step into the next stage.  

By letting go
of the thoughts as they arise,
you enter the 3rd stage of mind.  

You experience
that which is beyond mind.
That which cannot be defined.  

To say you even experience it
is not true,
because here,
there is no experiencer
separate from the experience.  

There is only pure,
eternal consciousness.    


Blessings,    


Kip"

"I often hear people
saying they can't meditate.  

But what they are really saying
is they won't meditate.  

Whatever reasons they give,
the truth is in meditation
they have come across an experience
they do not wish to experience.  

Whether they are conscious of it or not,
they have felt a sensation
that they do not wish to feel.  

The reasons on top of this
are just excuses.  

The moment you allow yourself
to experience those sensations
you are avoiding,
then you see the futility of your reasons,
the futility of your thoughts.  

The futility of trying to figure it all out.  

It really has nothing to do with mind.  

You just didn't want to feel
a certain sensation,
and once you did,
it wasn't so bad,
ironically,
it was quite blissful.  

Suddenly you are filled
with love and peace
until the next sensation
you unconsciously resist
makes itself known.  

Once you realize
this one very simple point,
that the reason you can't meditate
is that you do not wish to feel
a certain sensation,
then meditation becomes very clear.

Then you see the power is in your hands.  

Most people are just looking
for the bliss
and they don't want to do the work
to get it.

And that is perfectly fine,
a little relaxation and meditation
will give you this.  

But if you want more than this.  

If you want freedom
from this constant conflict
of seeking pleasure
and avoiding pain
and all the stress & suffering
that goes with it,  

then you will be willing
to sit through
the uncomfortable experiences
and enjoy the peace that goes with it.  

Unconditional peace
does not come
from feeling happy all the time.

Unconditional peace
comes by being present
with what is here
regardless of how you think it feels.  

You give it a try
and I bet you'll really like it.    

Blessings,    


Kip"

"In this moment,
you cannot be the person
you want yourself to be
or others want you to be.  

You can only be
how you are in this moment.  

Happiness does not come
by emulating
the peaceful smiling Buddhist monk,  

or the tan new age guru
promising you riches
and the soulmate of your dreams.  

The secret is
you are exactly as you are supposed to be
in this moment.  

Your experience is exactly
as it is supposed to be
in this moment.  

That you keep
turning away from yourself
 in search of something better
is what breaks your heart.  

The doorway
to unconditional peace, love and bliss
is through the awareness of you,
exactly as you are in this moment.  

In the full acceptance and awareness
of yourself in this moment,
you immediately transcend it.  

You enter into a whole new reality
free from definitions,
descriptions, and separation.  

You with your sweaty armpits
your cranky disposition
and your insanity
is the doorway to Divinity.  

Because if you really become aware
of what is here in this moment,
you will find it is has nothing to do
with what you think.

"The ego exists
out of the experience that life
is not the way it is supposed to be.  

It lives in a perpetual state of control
in an attempt to make life the way
it thinks it should to be.  

It's very nature is stress.  

Awareness is the means
to be free of the ego.  

Because in awareness
you are watching this moment.  

And in order to watch this moment,
you have to allow it to be as it is.  

You have to accept that everything is as it is.  

You let go of control,
then you can watch.  

And then what you are watching
no longer defines you.  

You realize you are the watching.    

Meditation is a constant test
of faith and surrender.  

Faith that everything will be okay
if you stop trying to control this moment.  

Surrender because yes,
it is quite possible the world you know
may fall out from beneath your feet.  

Suddenly the illusion
of trying to turn this moment
into something else ceases
and you are simply left with this moment.  

Once you let go of 
that constant urge to move forward
there is only awareness.

That is where true beauty shines.  

Not in the objects of your obsession
but the awareness that gives life to all objects.  

It is the awareness that is bliss.  

And if you are aware,
then you are bliss.

"The mind functions by defining.  

And through definitions
boundaries are created,
separation is created.  

There is this body that is me
and everything else that is not me.  

So you experience something
the mind defines as pain in your chest
and that pain is separate from you.

It is something that is happening to you.  

It is alien to you
and a threat to you
and therefore something
must be done about it.

This is the natural process of the mind.
It is how the physical body survives.  

Most people try and approach meditation
from this mind perspective.  

How can I,
as this body
get bliss
and get away from pain.

And so begins
the struggle and suffering
of frustrating meditations
that bear little fruit because
you have already separated yourself
from your experience.  

But you can be free
of all of this in an instant.  

Simply by closing your eyes
and allowing yourself to experience 
what is truly here beyond thought.

By 'feeling' what is here
without defining or describing.  

Without the mind,
all that is left is sensation.  

An experience of energy,
conscious energy,
that has no boundaries.  

What you experienced before as pain
is now simply a movement of energy.

Instantly you are free
of all separation and conflict.
All stress and self-importance
goes out the window.  

The mind / body experience becomes something 
you witness inside you
rather than you inside it.  

So awareness
is completely uncomplicated.  

This simple shift in perspective
changes everything in an instant.  

Simply by removing the mind
as the perceiver,
what was an experience of incessant conflict
now is just conscious energy;  

An experience of unconditional peace.
