Love moves mountains

Those thoughts are not your friend

The worst thing you could ever do is to judge yourself. 
Never judge yourself. 
Don't even look at yourself too much. 

Realize your divine nature and do not allow your problems to get to you.
 Understand that you are not your problems.
 You are not the body.
 You're not the thoughts or the mind. 

And begin by controlling your thoughts. 
Do not allow your thoughts to become greater than you. 
No matter what your thoughts tell you, don't listen. 
Remember your thoughts are not your friend. 
Your thoughts try to confound you, confuse you. 
And they will tell you all kinds of things.
 Do not listen to your thoughts, even your good thoughts. 
Transcend everything, go beyond your thoughts to your bliss, to your joy and to your happiness.'
 
R.A. 9~16~90

Consider this world a dream

"I - I" Meditation

"I - I" Meditation
----------------------
When you repeat to yourself, "I - I" and
do it with your breathing,
you inhale and you say, "I"
you exhale and you say, "I",
"I-I".
This is abiding in the Self in the "I".
It is what we are referring to just abiding in our own awareness.
When you abide in the I,
you automatically go to the ultimate truth.
Plain repetition will eventually lead you to realization.
It will lead you to the real I-I.
The secret is to practice "abiding in the Self".
Then everything else will happen by itself.

~Robert Adams.

This is called growing up, not merely growing old

All of you are experiencing some sort of transformation, a changing over of power from manual to automatic... you are aware that things are unfolding by themselves and so you don't become entangled in things. You don't put readings and meanings to them that they don't inherently have. This is called growing up, not merely growing old. And, as you see these things, appreciate them that Grace is bringing Light to these things in your life. Appreciate It and It will stay with you. Love It and It will never leave you. After a certain time, the sense of you and It will merge. Thank you.

you are not what you appear to be

Every time the world shakes you up,

Every time the world shakes you up,
you feel something has happened not to your liking,
you're accruing karma.
You have to be aware of these points all of the time.

Point number one:
-------------------------
This world is a dream, just like the dream I dream at night.
Everything in this world is karmic.
Nothing is real.
So I will never again allow this world to dictate to me
what is right, what is wrong, what is good, what is bad.

Point number two:
-------------------------
My nature is divine.
I am not the body nor this world
nor have I got anything to do with this world or this body.
The body goes through its own karma, it takes care of itself,
does whatever it's supposed to do.
It has absolutely nothing to do with me.

Point number three:
---------------------------
Everything I observe in this world is myself, nothing else.
I only see myself wherever I look.
Whatever I'm involved in.
I see myself and nothing else.

Point number four:
-------------------------
In order to transcend this world and become totally free,
I have to somehow awaken from this mortal dream.
And I can only do this by becoming non-judgmental,
peaceful within myself, looking at this world like a moving picture,
in all kinds of scenes in a movie.
I know I'm not affected by these things,
by the things of this world or any other world.

Point number five:
------------------------
I-am the substratum of all existence.
"I-am the screen in which the movie is being shown.
"I-am the director and producer of the movie.
"I-am also the actor.
I play all of the parts.
Therefore I will never again become confused
in the picture or the screen.

You should ponder these things every morning
when you get out of bed, when you first wake up.
Become aware of this.
~Robert Adams -T226 Whatever You See Is The Self -
February 25, 1993

And that way is to realize that everything is Consciousness.

 

There’s only one way to bring peace to the world.
There’s only one way to bring peace to yourself.
There’s only one way to overcome problems.
There’s only one way to find yourself.
And that way is to realize that everything is Consciousness.

What do I mean by that?
Take everything in this room:
the glass, the lamps, the chairs, the couch,
the rug, the light, and your body.
They are not real.
They are Consciousness. 

I am not saying that Consciousness has produced these things.
I am not saying that first there is Consciousness, and
these things came out of Consciousness. On the contrary.
I am saying that everything that appears to arise,
that you hear with your ears,
that you taste with your mouth,
that you feel with your hands,
is Consciousness.

~Robert Adams

Blessed is the one whose life and presence is the evidence of Truth

Guruji's parting words, London July 2016 ॐ From all that has been shared today,
I won't even ask that you intentionally try to remember anything.
It is better that you just allow the space of being to be
without putting anything in it. Nothing new, nothing old.
Just be aware of the sense of being, the feeling of pure presence.
No one needed to support it, control it, or water it.
It is simply here, as it is. Water it with your attention.
Be one with it and It will remind you and remain in, with and as you.
It will bring your mind back
into its natural unity, harmony and wholeness.
Don't ask how. Just keep quiet. Trust.
Best now to stay in this state of emptiness which is a stateless state.
The mind will say, 'Okay, we have been patient and good
for two whole hours, now its time to party!
Lets find some friends, go find a pub or something.'
My advice: Don't do this. Honour your seeing.
Digest your experiencing. Keep quiet.
Respect what you are discovering,
That which the ego-ridden mind fails to grasp.
Therefore, it wants to reject it—the state of effortless grace.
There is far more to you than what your mind has to say about you.
Allow a little space to my pointing
so that your seeing matures into greater clarity
and auspiciously a deeper level of consciousness
will begin to rise to the surface of the mind.
Unexpected things will come into being
to strengthen you in ways you cannot imagine.
They will establish and reveal a deeper
and more profound understanding of your true nature.
The flow of grace will begin to remove your fears and doubts
and replace them with an increased feeling of peace
and a natural sense of joy and lightness of being.
Trust This fully.
Just in the way that the natural progression of
a caterpillar is to become butterfly,
the natural progression of a human being
is to become conscious of themselves as timeless Awareness.
Like this, each one will rise above the shallow waters of ego.
Your true destiny is to wake up to your universal Consciousness-Being,
which is the light in this world.
Don't wait for someone else to go in front of you.
You honour your own Self.
It is not a person.
Remain unattached and centred in the heart
and you will attract the Supreme.
So let today close with this blessing:
May all whose hearts are beating for freedom and Truth
flower into perfect awakening and unity with the Real.
May their minds expand in wisdom and compassion,
love, openness and universality.
May you find the one true thing worth discovering in this life
and be timelessly free and happy.
And may all who meet you on the path of life
be inspired by your presence.
May they be so moved by your peace and genuineness,
your love and openness, your strength and joy
that they are compelled to search within themselves
to find the light that they see in you.
Like this may your light shine for all and forever.
This is the true communion of a human being,
the human soul and spirit:
that in connecting and sharing with each other from the Heart
we impart blessing and uplift the collective universal consciousness
without turning it into a task.

Just by meeting with the love that you are,
with the peace that you are,
with the joy that you are,
nobody will forget you.
Existing in the Truth of your Self,
your light is bringing so much joy,
hope and inspiration in this world,
You must become the proof that God exists.

Blessed is the one whose life and presence is the evidence of Truth.
Don't think of yourself as being too little for this great discovery.
You are already the universal consciousness. You are already whole.
Don't let your mind hide or distort this truth.
Every power is given unto human beings
to transcend the dark ways of the mind.
Take courage. Don't complain.
Everyone must go through the thick forest of existence
and must feel the doubts, pains and the fears
that come due to ignorance of the Self.

But remember:
You have the power to transcend the veiling hypnosis
of conditioning and limited personal identity,
and to win yourself back from these states of delusion.
And you will do it. It is only a question of time.
There are some beings who can't wait. Enough waiting.
They will remain immersed in the one true Self.
So until we have the opportunity to meet again
go in peace and with the love that I feel for You
who are the Truth embodied.

No Other Way

Once you understand that you are the witness

We believe too quickly in feelings and thought-processes.
You must become more detached from them.
Keep looking without interpreting so quickly.

Once you understand that you are the witness
to what is playing in the mind, if you don't identify so quickly,
you start to become aware of your own presence.
You begin to enjoy your own pure presence.

You will enjoy its spaciousness. It is empty of mind.
The world will lose its grip on your mind.
You will start to experience the state of love again,
deep peace and the joy that does not come from things,
but a joy that emanates and resonates from your own Self.

And all of this will come to life in a short time.
It is your invisibility that matters.
There are some people I don't see very often.
There are some, in one year, I only see them for 2 or 3 hours.
But each time I see them,
I see that they are less and less of a person
and more and more of being.
The absence of them as a person
is perceived more powerfully as presence.

So it is not your presence as a person that matters,
it is only your presence as presence that matters.
In a funny way, it is your absence, personally,
that is spiritually attractive,
because in your absence as ego,
you become Universal.
And it is only your universal spirit
that can bless the world.
~ Mooj

I open to my inner strength,

I open to my inner strength, knowing I am always steered in directions of a deeper authenticity.

Did the rose Ever open its heart

How
Did the rose
Ever open its heart

And give to this world
All its
Beauty?

It felt the encouragement of light
Against its
Being,

Otherwise,
We all remain

Too

Frightened.

Search for eternal happiness

There is no evenness in this world. You can never have total peace or total chaos. There appears to be two powers and one is always contradicting the other. Look at your personal life. Things are going well for a while; then something happens, seems to pull the rug from under your feet and you become upset. Things are terrible in your life for a while, something comes along and changes it. And things are pretty good for a while and so it is all through your life. 

The time comes when you get disgusted with this whole game. The time comes when you want to search for eternal happiness, for infinite peace that doesn't change. The search begins within yourself. You begin to examine yourself, diligently. You begin to question yourself. And the answers come out of your self. 

They are not necessarily the answers you've been looking for but the answers come. As you search deep within yourself you are led to the right book, to the right teacher, to the right circumstances, the right experience. You begin to unfold. You begin to look at this world in which you live and you see it differently for the first time. 

You see the world as an image projected by your self. The world begins to have less meaning to you. You begin to drop many of the things you've been into, many of the situations, conditions that you've been involved in. You let go of them. You make your life simple. The simpler your life becomes the happier you begin to feel.
— Robert Adams, Transcript 125, The Search Begins Within Yourself, 2nd February, 1992

Be kind, be loving, everything else will take of itself

"Be kind, be loving, everything else will take of itself. You are the one, the holy one, the mighty one, the true one, the loving one. Go within your heart right now. Dive deep within the heart centre and lose yourself entirely. 

The spiritual heart centre is on the right side of the chest. See a sphere of golden light in the heart center, a sphere of beautiful golden light, throbbing. 

See this globe of white light, golden light expanding, expanding throughout the whole universe. Where all of the planets, galaxies, everything are super- impositions on this golden globe of light. 

Everything is an image on this light. Like the image on the screen. 
 This light is like boundless space. It accommodates the whole uni- verse. Everything is in this light. Nothing is left out.
Understand that you are the light. 
The light is you, the Self. The imperishable Brahman. The ultimate reality, nirvana.

 The I-am that I-am, that is the nature of this golden light. See all the images disappearing and only the light remains. 

Feel this light as your- self. You are filled with joy, filled with bliss, with happiness. You are now the true Self and there are no others. Feel this deeply. Feel this bliss, this love, this joy, pulsating within, without you. All of your past has been wiped out. 

There never was any room for a past or a present or a future. There is just the one mighty Self, expressing itself as consciousness and you are that! Peace."
(silence)
Robert Adams - Los Angeles, CA - Dec 3, 1992

Ramana's Teaching

“The mind is nothing but the thought “I”. Thoughts arise because of the thinker.” “The thinker is the sense of separation that when sought automatically dissolves.”

“The more you get fixed in the Self, the more the thoughts collapses by themselves.”

“It one remains quiet without abandoning the understanding of simply being, the individual sense of the thought – form I am the body, it dissolves by itself.”

“And ultimately the final thought. The “I” thought will also be extinguished, like camphor that is burned by fire…this alone is Realization.”

“To succeed bring the mind back by fixing it in the Self every time it turns outwards.”

“The real state of effortlessness its permanent.”

“There are not stages in realization or degrees in liberation.”

“There are not levels of reality only levels of experiencing for the individual.”

“When you give up thinking of outwards objects and prevent your mind from going outwards and turn it inwards and fix it in the Self, the Self alone remains.”

“Engage yourself in the living present, the future takes care of itself.”

“If anything can be gained which was not present before, it can be lost. Where the Absolute is eternal here and now.

Innocence

Three qualities arose in me when I experienced a deep awakening: wisdom, innocence, and love. Although they are actually parts of one whole, this wholeness can be expressed by these three qualities.

 



Awakening opens wisdom. When I speak of wisdom, it doesn't mean that I suddenly became smart. It simply means that I realized the Truth. This Truth is what I am. This is what the world is. This is what is. The wisdom is the realization of what you are. It is the realization of Truth, the one and only true truth. This Truth is not a matter of philosophy, or science, or faith, or belief, or religion. It is beyond all of that—far beyond.

The second quality born within this awakening was innocence. This tremendous innocence produces the feeling of an ever-present newness in life.

 Since the awakening, the brain no longer holds and compares, so every moment is experienced as new, just as it would be in the mind of a young child. The adult mind tends to take things in, compare its perceptions to the litany of things that have happened in the past, and basically hold the attitude, "Been there, done that." It is rather arid, dry, and boring. The innocent mind arises when this comparison is no longer happening. This innocence could also be called humility. But I personally like the word innocence because I think it stays closer to the actual experience.

The third quality that arose was love. This love is simply for existence. What is born in awakening is a love of What IS—of everything that is. The fact that there is anything at all seems wonderful because when the insight of awakening goes very deep, there is a realization about how tenuous existence is. I don't simply mean that we could be killed at any moment. I mean we see an unbelievable miracle, we see how unimaginably easy it would be for absolutely nothing to be here.

 (Actually, there is absolutely nothing, but that's another story.) That anything exists at all is seen as an absolute and utter miracle, and from that seeing there is the birth of so much love simply for what is. It's a different love than when we love getting what we want or we find the perfect partner. 

This is a love just for the fact that we have shoelaces or for the fact that toenails exist, that kind of love. A tremendous love arises simply for the miracle that is life, realizing that all and everything is the One.

Surrender trouble

"When in trouble....
You can say,
"SELF, here I am again in trouble.
I have no idea what to do next, but you are really me,
even though you're all-pervading, you're expressing as myself.
You know what to do.

I therefore, surrender completely to you.
I surrender my body,
I surrender my affairs,
I surrender my world.
I have no need to worry or fret.
You will take care of everything."

And you let go.
If you can only learn to do this first, before you take any other action,
you will be pleasantly surprised what happens."
~ Robert Adams ~

Desirelessness

"There's no spirituality in helping the world to progress, because what you're helping is to make the world a good solid Maya illusion. And the more progress you have the more you move up from physical pain into mental pain. 

When desirelessness is attained through wisdom its power disintegrates the 2 remaining vessels, the astral and the causal (bodies). That's what we can do here, eliminate all 3 containers (physical, astral, causal).

By becoming desireless. When desirelessness is attained through wisdom its power disintegrates the 2 remaining bodies, the astral and causal. But the higher you go the more sensitized you become, and the shame of it all is that when we're here we don't realize that in this physical realm you can eliminate all other realms.

And there's only one way, to become desireless, which is equal to becoming ego-less.

 I believe the word desireless is a better cover-all word than ego. 
So, why don't you let go of your desires? They bring only agony. Momentary pleasure, which is only relief from the lack, artificially created, with lots and lots of pain. 

That's one thing people don't seem to know is how intensely they're suffering all the time. Compared to the top state, wow, all the subconscious thoughts are a real heavy burden, agonizing.

So, I'm trying to sell you the idea that this world that you still think is so wonderful, is nothing but hell. And that by undoing it, we have an opportunity to undo the tremendous amount of future hell. 

The only reason why you're not getting full realization is that you're holding onto the physical, you're holding onto being a body and satisfying desires. Well I guess the body itself is a desire, in order to satisfy more desires.

When you're free you see good and bad, joy and sorrow as the same, and you're really free to indulge in either or both or none. You make up a desire, it doesn't hurt you, and it doesn't help you. Or if you make up a sorrow that too doesn't hurt you nor help you in your happiness. 
So once you get free of the concept of being a body, whatever you do in the world, it's done by choice, and it can't cut you anymore."

25:28 to 30:15 of Lester Levenson "Top State and Beyond Desire

Drink the wine of this Love

THE INNERMOST TABLE
You want me to speak of love
and so I will.
But the Love of which I can speak
costs me all coins of illusion
and so I cannot compromise its virtues
nor quibble over its price.

This Love is Divine Nectar
a wine found only at
the innermost table.
It has seen endless days
of rain and sun and harvest.
It has been made wise and mellow
by the passing of time
and its refined taste
is uncompromising to those
who prefer their wine young
and overly sweet.
Although at times you may
appear to be swept away
by its dizzying effects
you will find that you have
the clarity of a diamond and
the reflexes of a falcon.
You will remain capable of compassion
and ruthless decisiveness alike.
In one hand
you will hold a feather
and in the other
a sword.
Drink the wine of this Love
and your life will change.
Instead of being a gatherer
of the Divine Light
you will be its shine.
It will be the end of you
and the beginning.
- Adyashanti

Things Begin to Happen When You Drop Everything

Will You Come With Me?

A flight of steps, old, maybe ancient- well trodden, or maybe not so - the steps are not visible to everyone.
Can you see them?
A pale sandstone, rough textured and at the top an archway surrounded by gentle flowers , and on the other side is light.

This could be Tuscany, it might even lead to someone's terraced garden .
Shall we see? Would you like to come with me? Can you see the steps, can you feel the opening too?

The vista all around is gentle, spacious, supporting, sharing the secret. Let's take the steps, in a measured manner, lift the foot, place the sole,exert a certain amount of effort, transfer the weight and hear the invitation to empty the pockets and leave your bag, no matter how precious its contents appear to be - then you can be lifted to the top step.

A moment of hanging on to the frame, a momentary looking back, looking down- a hint of losing balance.

The universe holds its breath, a slight motion forward, a regaining of balance and the touch of new air on the face, a stepping through on to the terrace.

A pale wooden table, a pottery urn in the centre, an empty chair just waiting, a man in thick russet cotton greets, gestures to join him.

A sense now of being high in the Himalayas and a feel of  Tibet. Even fewer get to visit here.Usually  to be born here is the only way.

The whir of prayer flags in the wind, a sense of the prayers tumbling all around, being woven all around.

The prayers have chosen a place to land, they have chosen you, just for now, like a bee chooses a flower.

Will you allow them to be embodied, would you carry them back down the steps or will you ask ' what is beyond this' ?

Terraced garden and table disappear. I can see my breath in the air. I look down- a fur waistcoat, animal hide boots. I look up and am in awe of the pink snow capped mountains all around.
 The man now wears saffron robes, oblivious to the cold sharp wind.
I follow as he leads into the mystery.

He guides me to a red gold temple.

Diamond light at its centre. A haltering, a faltering. Can I walk into this diamond light?

Fingers first, a tentative touch, the light yields,pulls from within.
I enter, to the centre.
Here, face to face heart to heart with Maitreya.
Deep, rich Silence.

What is beyond this?

 And we are back to Ramana, standing with staff on Arunachala.
Gaze upon the gazer.

What is beyond this? 

 The parade of gods begins. Siva, Ganesh, Saraswati.
Beware the empty images, beware the attachment to the dream and even the dremaer.
And I ask again 'what is beyond this?
And will you come with me?

 

Identity is going to Vanish

Papaji quote

Love Thy Neighbour

All of your relations, all of your co-workers,
all the people you dislike,
all the people that you like.
They're all part of your creation.
If they're all part of your creation
consequently you would not wish to be in conflict with them
because you would be in conflict with yourself.

Do you see what is happening now?
Whenever you're in conflict with anything, any place, any person,
you are really in conflict with yourself.
For there is one Self and you are that.
Just by knowing this frees you.
Just by understanding what I'm saying to you.
~Robert Adams -T.219 - Become What You’ve Always Been -
24th January,1993

I am consciousness, total awareness, expressing as bliss

I am consciousness, total awareness, expressing as bliss. Now what does this do to you as a human being? 
It transcends your human experience. 

It lifts you beyond the relative world into reality. There is no explanation. You try to explain this to your friends. You cannot. As a matter of fact, you find that your friends disappear because they think you're crazy. And you probably never needed those friends to begin with. 

You begin to identify with the substratum of existence. You are no longer part of the world of effects. As you are aware, this is a world of effects in which we live. There is no permanency in this world. Everything comes and goes. To identify with the world is to suffer. 

Therefore to find the truth is to experience bliss. No matter what you may acquire in this world you still suffer. As long as you believe you are the body-mind concept this is what causes suffering, if only because of deterioration.

As most of you know, as soon as you’re born you start to die. It’s therefore foolish to be satisfied only with a material existence. 
[…] There is nothing in this world that can really bring you true happiness. No, I'm not a prophet of doom. I'm telling you the truth. It is only as you discover your true identity that the real happiness and the real joy begin to be expressed through you. You don't have to wait until you are self-realized.

 Even if you believe that you are the body, still, just by understanding that there’s something greater, something higher, something more beautiful, begins to make you feel good. Or shall I say, as you dis-identify with the world, as you begin to disassociate yourself with identification of the world. I'm not speaking of leaving your job or going away from your family or changing anything at all. I'm speaking mentally. As you disengage your mind from worldly attachments, goodness takes its place, to that extent.
-- Robert Adams

Questions to ask every day

• What magic can I create today?
• What else is possible that I haven't even considered?
• What am I not asking for, that if I gave myself permission to ask for it, would show up with total ease?
• What would it take to be the magic of being?
• Body, what energy, space, and consciousness can I be to be the magic with you for all eternity with total ease?
• What would it take to follow the lightness and joy of possibility today?

the universe will always appear to take care of them

I am not interested in attracting hundreds of people, curiosity seekers, giving seminars, or letting people come and look at me.

I am only interested in those few people who are tired of living in this world as a body, because they have a feeling that they are absolute reality, they are pure awareness, they are nirvana, they are pure intelligence, and they are ready to go all the way in order to meet the goal. Yet they do not have a goal on their mind.

They live spontaneously in faith, and the universe will always appear to take care of them. They take their minds off the body, and the mind becomes weaker and weaker, until they are in the state of no-mind.

Robert Adams
