"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,

"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.

"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,

"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"

"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"
