"Rather than enter meditation
as a person trying to become
more conscious,  

enter meditation
with the realization
that you are consciousness.  

Not as an affirmation,
but as the truth.  

What you are exists
beyond thoughts, beyond physicality.  

Take away all thought,
what is left?  

If you like, 
use the method: 'who am I?'  

Which is to ask: '
What am I beyond thinking?'   '

What is this
that I keep referring to as "I"?  

What is this sense of existing
in this moment?'  

It will take you back
beyond the mind,
to where there is no answer,
where there is only consciousness.  

Somehow you keep
turning your back on this truth.  

Or you turn it into knowledge,
a belief that you no longer validate
but hold in your pocket like a lucky charm.  

And you end up again involved with thoughts,  
as though the thoughts make up a person,
and that person is you,
and this person has to find freedom from itself.

Rather realize from the start,
that you are consciousness.  

And the way to yourself
is not to seek outside of yourself.  

But to let yourself rest
in this moment as you truly are.  

No need to deny anything,
no need to convince the mind
what is real.  

Just be honest about what is here.  

Whenever you look beyond the mind,
the truth exists,
naked and pure
and absolute.

This is meditation.

"When you feel your chest contracting,
when there is stress and despair,  
that is a good sign
that you are trying to control
what cannot be controlled.  

That is a good sign
that the best thing you can do
is surrender and allow yourself
to experience what is there.

Thoughts of strategies,
justification and even revenge
could be swirling around like a hurricane,
offering you something to hold on to.  

But it is best to let them go,
to trust and allow,
to be vulnerable and humble
and absolutely present with what you feel.  

Such times are tests on your awareness.  

It is one thing to be blissful,
sitting in a quiet air conditioned room
with lovely music.  

It is another thing to be present
when all hell seems to be breaking loose around you.

There are always two paths in every moment:
the path of control,
and the path of surrender and awareness.  

And the two paths take you
in two completely  different directions.  

Most people walk in circles:
they surrender a little then back to control,
surrender and back to control.  

What would happen
if you just remained aware,
surrendering to what is in every moment?  

You can decide that today
you choose peace in every moment
and it could alter your entire life.

"If you greet someone
and ask them how they are,  

they will refer to the last few hours,
weeks or months for an answer.  

Thoughts of the past
are constantly repeating themselves
and that becomes
who you think yourself to be.  

You might wake up in the morning
feeling blissful,
and then the thought arises
that 3 days ago you got a speeding ticket.  

And now you don't feel blissful,
now you feel awful.  

It is like you are getting
that speeding ticket over and over!  

How many times will you get
that same ticket in your mind?  

If your mind was reality,
they would have already taken away your license,
probably your car too.  

But it was just that once.
Over and done with.
It has nothing to do with
how you are in this moment.  

It always come down to the mind.
The mind is the troublemaker.  

Not the thoughts themselves
but the identification with them.
The attachment to them.  

If I ask how you are,
it has nothing to do
with how you were yesterday
or the week before
or even a minute ago.  

It has to do with right now.

Right now how are you truly?  
Without referring to your history
how are you in this moment?  

You cannot really answer
except to say that in this moment
there is the sense of existence
and you are aware of existence.  

Not as a person with a history
but as existence itself,
pure impersonal being.  

And if you are aware of existence
then you are blissful.  

There are no two ways about it.  

If you are aware
of the one impersonal existence
in this moment,
you are blissful.  

All problems solved.  

Now go pay your speeding ticket.

"According to your mind,
bliss and freedom
are just around the corner.  

It will be
in the next book you read,
the next Guru you see,
the next diet,
the next spiritual movement.  

And somehow
the idea of meditation
gets woven into all of this.  

But meditation is the opposite.  

Meditation is about
being present with what is here.  

It is about letting go
of this constant tendency
to leave this moment
in search of something else.  

It is about surrendering
to what is here,
being aware
of what is here.  

Because here 
is not the suffering.

The avoidance of here
is the suffering.  

And if you can be aware
of this avoidance;
If you can be aware
of this constant urge
to leave this moment,
then half the battle is won.  

Because if you can be aware
of the resistance,
the resistance will disappear.  

And when resistance disappears
there is only peace.  

A peace so delicious,
that any pleasure
outside of this moment
is painful in comparison.    


Blessings,
