    Good Morning Wake Up - Ep. 169 Resistance to Being

    Good morning, everyone. Here’s the opening holiday from Sunday’s open meeting. And just to remind, this weekend is the online intensive, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Going to be five meetings for about nine hours. See you soon. Okay, we’ll begin. I’ll keep letting people in as we go. If you’re new to the meeting, so I’ll start off with the maybe 10 or 15 minutes of a holiday, like my Good Morning Wake Up series. And then after that, we can talk. Let’s just be here, very relaxed, very gentle, very simple. No force, no pressure, no holding on to anything. Just simply consciously knowing, or knowingly aware. ««»» I don’t mean aware of anything in particular. I just mean the simple fact, aware, consciously knowing, aware, I am. ««»» This aware is subjective aware. It doesn’t need an object. It knows itself. Or better, I know myself. I am aware. ««»» All of the objects of appearance having their momentary display, no problem with any of that. That’s none of our concern. Our concern for now, very gently. Concern with myself, aware. I am aware. ««»» The mind and the objects of appearance will attempt to draw you outward from this pure subjective aware. Outward to the mind or outward to the world. That’s natural. It’s a resistance to just being. That’s all it is. There’s a resistance to pure being. Notice that movement. ««»» And when you notice that, maybe you won’t notice it for a second or five seconds or 10 seconds, you’ll just, before you realize that you’re off on the distraction of one of those appearances, and that’s totally cool. But when you do notice, in that moment, bring your attention back, pure subject, I, Knowingly aware. ««»» And then the same thing again, when you notice the resistance and the pull to any object, when you notice that, in the noticing itself is already the movement, self-attention. ««»» Gentle. ««»» You might notice that every one of those appearances is different. The thoughts are different. The sensations that appear are different. Sounds coming and going are different. The visual movements are different. They’re all changing constantly. And yet every time you come back to this knowing, conscious knowing of aware, it’s exactly the same. Now, five minutes ago, 10 minutes from now, 10 years ago. ««»» This pure subjective knowing, I am, is the source out from which all of those appearances spring and return back to always. From this pure being, purely subjective knowing, out of that comes thoughts, and then back into it they submerge. Out of that comes all of the sensory appearances and back into that. All of the sensations, everything rises, has its momentary display, and then back into the source, which is what I am. ««»» So all we’re doing on a holiday is being at the source, dwelling there. ««»» And becoming convinced. And I’m convinced because every time I come and look, I am the same source. That’s what I am. It’s always the same. I’m convinced. ««»» And then I rise as thoughts. I-source, I-source, no thing, so to speak. I-source, rise as thoughts or the separate I. I rise as sensations in the body. I rise as all of the sensory objects and appearances. That’s all I-source rising as those things, as ocean rises as wave. Source rises as the personal I, the sensations, thoughts, emotions, sensory objects, just like that. All out of Source. And so we just turn around, pure subject, Source, I AM. ««»» In this way, we don’t have to get rid of anything, stop the mind, kill anything, transcend anything. We just know ourselves in a different way than we’ve known before, that’s all. No longer only knowing ourselves as the wave, personal wave self, now we know ourselves as source appearing as the wave. ««»» What do you think of yourself now? Pretty cool, I’d say. ««»» Good to be with you. I hope to see you this weekend. Have a great day. Peace.

    Good Morning Wake Up - Ep. 168 Take One Step Further Back Into Pure Being

    Good morning, everyone. Pure subjective consciousness. This means I am and I know that I am. Being knowing itself. Consciously aware of myself as I. So let’s just do that for a moment. Be here, not knowing any other object, but only knowing I am. ««»» There’s no name or color or texture or form to this pure being. ««»» Prior even to the subtle feeling somehow within the body of being here. Prior to that pure knowing, pure being. Because even that subtle feeling in the body is a known object. And so take one step further back into pure being. ««»» Don’t be concerned with any objects that are appearing, sensations or thoughts or anything else, sounds. Nothing to deny, but just don’t be concerned with any of that. Just be concerned with knowing myself, I. ««»» This is always here, true. Mostly we’re not consciously aware of it because our attention is going outward to the mutable, changeable forms. ««»» But for now, for a moment, don’t attend to any of that. Just pure subject, consciously aware. I know. ««»» Take some time for this. It’s good in the mornings to start with this. Or take five minutes any time during the day, just for being pure being. Have a holiday. ««»» It’s good to be with you. Have a beautiful day. Peace.

    Good Morning Wake Up - Ep. 167 What Am I? What Has Never Changed?

    Good morning, everyone. I thought I’d share yesterday’s opening holiday from the Zoom Open Meeting. For new people, I speak for maybe 15 minutes or so to introduce what I call a Holiday, which if you listen to my Good Morning Wake Up, it’s kind of similar to that, or the same. Just so we come to be together in a recognition of pure being. And then after that we can talk. So for a moment, just know you’re here. Make it simple. Just know you’re here. Not as anything. I don’t mean know you’re here as your name and form and body. Just much simpler than that. I know I’m here. Consciously aware. ««»» When attention isn’t going to thoughts or sensations, and not to deny anything, but when attention isn’t going there, that manifested appearance of form, when attention is just on itself, I know that I am, then we see what is always true, what’s always here prior to those movements, always I. ««»» What am I? Am I Salvadore? Am I the opinions and beliefs that are held here in this mind? Am I this body? Am I the myriad experiences that have happened to this body? Am I the impressions that have entered to the empty mind here, since birth? American and a million other things. Is that what I am? ««»» If that’s what I am, then If I’m not thinking about those things or attending to those things, then I don’t exist. If that’s what I am, then in deep sleep when none of those things exist at all, then I don’t exist. But clearly I do exist in deep sleep. I know I exist. I remember how beautifully I slept. I remember in the morning when I wake up and think, “oh no, not this again. I want to go back to sleep because it’s so beautiful”. So obviously I exist in deep sleep. But this body doesn’t exist in deep sleep. This history doesn’t exist in deep sleep. These traumas even don’t exist in deep sleep. None of that exists in deep sleep, and yet I am. So who am I? ««»» What am I? ««»» So a holiday right now, a holiday is to know myself as if in deep sleep, essentially. Prior to the movement of all the thoughts and sensations and histories and projections. Prior to all of that. Here and now, pure subject, I know that I am. It has no color, no name, no form, no texture. Simply pure being. And I have to say I. ««»» So what am I? ««»» What have I been the entire time this body has been here, 69 years? What have I been this entire 69 years that has always been here and never changed one iota? What have I been? What is that? ««»» Interestingly, this body, 69 years of change, constant change, not one billionth of a millisecond of stagnation, it’s constantly changed since it came out of the womb, has not stayed the same for one second. All of the thoughts and experiences of this body-mind have come and gone. The opinions have changed. The beliefs. New stories have been created and disappeared. Experiences have come and gone. Places have come and gone. People have come and gone. All of that has constantly changed for 69 years, yet one thing hasn’t changed. What is that? ««»» Let’s have a holiday. Right now. Pure being. ««»» Now, as I’ve always been, unchanging, pure being. That’s what a holiday is. A holiday isn’t a little kumbaya around the fireplace. Let’s all be in the now together. A holiday is an atom bomb that completely overturns your entire world. ««»» So for a moment, I am I. I am I, pure subject. There’s no object involved in this knowing. There’s no object involved in this knowing. There’s only I knowing myself. ««»» The end of the line. ««»» It’s pulling the rug out from under your feet. It’s pulling the rug out of the ego’s feet. ««»» It’s exposing the... I don’t like the word illusion. It’s exposing the actor for what it is. Actor character for what it is, which is an actor character. And it’s revealing the reality, what actually is. ««»» That’s all I have to say. ««»» It’s good to be with you. Have a beautiful day.

    Good Morning Wake Up - Ep. 166 The Movement of Separate I Has a Story of Self

    Good morning, everyone. What is it that’s seeking or looking to find something new, fix something or change something? And what is actually true, to use a word? Let’s be on holiday for a moment. ««»» This what is, you could say this moment, as it is now, it’s actual. It’s what is. Whatever the appearance is now in the body, the sensory objects, those are what is. ««»» So what non-duality points to, and I don’t use that word that much, but what it does point to is that this moment now, as it is, is the Absolute. The Absolute is in somewhere else or something else. The Absolute is this. This is the appearance of the Absolute. And this is why I often say there’s nothing behind the curtain. What you see or what is in this moment is all of it. So there’s nothing behind the curtain as far as an absolute that is somehow separate from this, knowing this or creating this, something like that. And there’s nothing behind the curtain as far as time, past and future, that this moment came from somewhere and is going somewhere else. ««»» In your own experience, other than the conceptual ideas of mind and the rising I, But in your own actual experience, all there is is this. There’s nothing else. ««»» In your own actual experience, there is no time. In your own actual experience, there’s nothing behind this as far as an absolute or something like that. So out of this absolute appearing as it is now also rises the separate, contracted sense of an individual I here. Just as every object in this current field of consciousness is the Absolute. Also the separative rising I that seems to appear is as well the Absolute. It’s the Absolute rising as a separate I. ««»» But that movement of separate I has a story of self. And that story of self has to do with time, past and future. And as we just recognized, all there is is this. There’s nothing behind the curtain, which means there is no past and future, which means that story is really a myth and a fantasy. ««»» Believing in that story is what causes discomfort and suffering and the contracted sense of self. ««»» This you have to see for yourself, of course, like everything. When thoughts appear, that’s fine. There’s no problem in thoughts appearing. There’s no one creating those thoughts. There’s no one behind the thoughts either. The thoughts themselves are not ego. They’re just simply thoughts. ««»» Believing those thoughts to be what I am is called ego, the rising I. ««»» And it’s that belief that creates our world, our worldview, our sense and feeling of separation, all of our beliefs and our suffering, our fear, our aversion, desire, all of those things. ««»» And so if all of those things that we see are a myth and a fantasy, then there’s nothing to kill. There’s nothing to get over. There’s nothing even to transcend. All there is in my suggestion is for a moment, come out into the sun of pure being that is prior to that rising I, which is simply belief. ««»» And see that in fact, all there is is what is. ««»» Without the mind separating or conceptualizing, for example, there is form and the absolute, two different things. Without the mind conceptualizing, literally, bare naked, open knowing or being, then there’s no one here and there’s nothing other than this. So, for a moment, good morning. Pure being. No one home. ««»» It’s good to be with you. Have a beautiful day.

    Good Morning Wake Up - Ep. 164 I Am Always The Same

    Good morning, everyone. Another beautiful morning here in the forest. What about you doesn’t change? What about you has been here your entire life, the same always? Certainly the body has constantly changed, so that’s not it. Thoughts, millions upon millions have come and gone. So that’s not consistent. Sensations of the body, emotions of the body, all changing, coming and going. Every one of the impressions perceived by the senses, constantly changing. Sights and sounds and tastes and all of that, constantly changing. But is there something that never changes, that’s been the same exactly your entire life? When we say ‘I’, we are almost always referring to this body. And when I say this body, it means everything affiliated with the body. The physical body, the sensations, thoughts, all of the sensory perceptions, emotions. So when I say the body, it’s everything. So when we say I, it’s that that we’re referring to. This body and all of its affiliations. ««»» But there is something else. When we say ‘I’ really, what it points to is that which has been here my entire life. I can say I now and consciously know that I am. Ten years ago I could have said I and consciously know that I am. When I was in high school, I could consciously say I and know that I am. When I was seven years old, I could say I and know that I am. And all the way back to my earliest memories, I could say I and know that I am. That’s what a holiday is pointing to, that, that I that has been here the entire time, that has not changed. So just now for a moment, know I, which isn’t the body in all of its affiliations, which has no name or form to it. Which is simply pure being. Which is eternal. Which is never changing. For a moment. Just simply be. ««»» The movements of the body and again all of its affiliates doesn’t stop changing, doesn’t stop moving. None of those ever will. But that which knows all of that is the same now as it was a few minutes ago and will be a few minutes from now as well. Just notice that. Be here for a moment. And then there’s a good chance in a relatively short period of time, something will attract your attention, most likely thoughts. And attention will go there. You’ll, in a word, forget to be paying attention to yourself. And then shortly after that, it will dawn on you that you have forgotten to pay attention to yourself and you’ll come back to paying attention to yourself again. And notice it’s exactly the same as it was before you went on a short little journey of attention to objects. See this for yourself. So let’s sit here for a couple of minutes. Just notice The movement of attention, going to the ever-changing form, and then coming back to the changeless I, which is the same always. ««»» As you see, it’s very natural for attention to go to objects. No problem at all, why shouldn’t it? We’re not trying to attain some new state. We’re just coming to know something that is eternal, doubtlessly. And so throughout the course of your day, come back to this noticing or this recognition that I am the same as I was two hours ago, when I had a holiday. And as I was two years ago, if I had had a holiday then, I’m always the same. ««»» It’s good to be with you. Have a beautiful day. Peace.

    Good Morning Wake Up - Ep. 163 Just For A Moment Be, Nothing, No One

    Good morning, everyone. We arrived in Pennsylvania a couple of days ago, deep in the woods, in a nice house, very, very quiet. Let’s just be openly knowing together. ««»» Nothing at all to attain and no one to need to attain anything. ««»» Simple being. Utterly simple. ««»» Anything other than the most utter simplicity of being is the I rising in opposition to something. It can be very subtle. It can be a simple sense that something is not quite right or complete. It can be, of course, a much more gross appearance. Fear, anxiety, worry, concern. But anything other than pure, unadulterated, simple being, which can’t be described in words really, anything other than that is the sense of an I here in opposition and dividing something. ««»» So just notice that movement. ««»» In pure being, time stops. There is no time. Time is simply an illusion created by the appearance of a self that exists in time. But out of that illusion right now, in actuality, what actually is, is this, no time. ««»» So there’s nothing to do. If anything at all is just simply to be. ««»» And to notice that anything other than no thing, which is what pure being is, anything other than no thing or nothing is thought or the movement of the rising I. ««»» Even in the most subtle movement of rising I, the entire world of self is born. And that’s fine, no problem. I don’t make a problem of it. But we see that that world created by the rising I, or part and parcel of the rising I, is really a phantom. It doesn’t actually exist because what does exist is this. No time. ««»» The rest is a story. ««»» So what we do on Holiday is just to be out of the story. And there’s no one to do that. Somehow, maybe, these words are heard and the movement of rising I for a moment ceases. And then there’s simply what is. ««»» And why I say gentle, and why I say for a moment, because any efforting to get there or to hold that is, again, the rising I, self, that appearance. ««»» It’s more correct, if you can put it that way, just to be it. That seems impossible. There’s no effort to just be it, but that’s the best and clearest way to say it without adding effort and doership and someone who’s doing that. So I just say for a moment, be. ««»» Well, I think that’s all I have to say, really. Just for a moment, be nothing. No one. ««»» It’s good to be with you. Have a beautiful day. Peace.

    Good Morning Wake Up - Ep. 162 Abide Here As That

    Good morning, everyone. Let’s just bring our attention to ourself, which is the purely subjective being. ««»» You can sense or know or feel what that is, because the movement towards any objects of thoughts or sensory objects or sensations stops and it kind of clicks into pure subjective knowing, I know I. ««»» And that’s really what a Holiday is. Because in that time stops, personal story stops, all of the movements of self stop. And pure being, I is only. ««»» All of the insecurities, instabilities, troubles, etc., occur when that pure subjective I sets forth on a bit of a voyage to the external objects of thoughts and sensations and world. ««»» You get on that vehicle of self. And that vehicle of self, you know, has its turns and hills and valleys and all of that. And then you’re riding in that vehicle. ««»» The more you attend to those things, the more you fall for it and get into it and follow along with it, engage with it, the more energy you give it and the more that movement has its dominance. ««»» So I just thought today, let’s just go right to the root and stay there for a moment. That’s really the direct way, that’s the way of being. ««»» I know that I am. And be still here for a moment. ««»» The movement away from this is really just habitual. So much input has come into the empty mind that we are, essentially, and really calls for attention. And out of habit, we give it attention. But I just suggest for a moment, don’t give it attention. Give yourself attention. ««»» And recognize that this is where true stability, security, well-being, peace of mind, all of that, this is where that abides, when you abide here as that. ««»» It’s good to be with you. Have a beautiful day. Peace.

    Good Morning Wake Up - Ep. 161 The Hypnotic Power of the Idea of Agency/Ego

    Good morning, everyone. When I recorded this audio just a few minutes ago, I made a mistake and had the microphone pointed in the wrong direction. Silly me. So the sound quality is not great, but I think the inquiry is very good. So, I hope you’ll bear with me. Thank you. Do we have any control or agency over anything that appears? Anything. Thoughts and emotions, sensations, sensory appearances. Let’s just be here openly knowing. ««»» If you recognize this clearly, you know that this is always the same, always has been, was the same before you ever recognized it. It’s always been this. Your entire life, this pure being has been the heart of what’s going on, always. ««»» What we do on a holiday is become consciously aware of it, that’s all. It’s very simple. Consciously aware of the heart of the matter, which is pure being knowing always the same eternally. ««»» So that’s immutable, that’s changeless, that’s eternal, that doesn’t come and go. Everything else, everything known, everything perceived, everything perceivable, from the most gross to the most subtle, is all changeable. It all comes and it all goes. ««»» Somehow we’ve gotten this idea that we have some say over the changeable aspects of life, that there’s some agent here who’s in charge or in control or creates these movements. ««»» In the immutable aspect of what I am, this unchangeable, non-moving aspect that has no moving parts, there is no agency there. It’s only pure knowing or pure being. ««»» Well, we’ll find out in a minute, but I’ll give you the heads up, there’s no agency whatsoever in the changeable aspects either. Thoughts, sensations, emotions, sensory appearances, movements of life. There’s no controller in that either. ««»» An interesting thing happens between the immutable heart of what I am, the changeless, pure being, substratum, eternal, and the ever-changing movements of form. Something comes between those two. That’s called ego. Somehow, miraculously, ego divides the changeless and the changeful, comes in between and claims it has some agency, some control, some free will. ««»» A huge part of what we do in this work and in the inquiry of recognition Is to see what a fallacious concept that is. The concept that I have some agency, something to do with anything that appears. And to recognize that is just a phantom, not even a real thing, ego. An idea, a concept. A mirage, you can call it. ««»» So now on holiday, as we are here together, pure being, just be aware of all of the endless motions and movements coming and going within myself, pure aware being. Notice, sensations that happen. Is there a you here that created those sensations? ««»» The breath coming and going. Is there a you here who created the breath coming and going? ««»» Thoughts appearing in the mind. Really, look at this. Just sitting here, blown wide open, pure being knowing, maybe for a moment there are no thoughts. And then, out of nowhere, before you know it, some thoughts are flittering around in your open mind. Did you create those thoughts? ««»» Any of the sensory objects or appearances? Those were created by you, somehow? ««»» When this recognition is clear, it’s the end of ego. It’s the end of ego because ego is the idea of free will, in one way of speaking. There isn’t an ego here that has the idea of free will. The idea of free will is ego. Ego is the idea of free will. Ego is the idea that I am located somewhere, separated, and a doer. It’s that idea that is ego. There is no actual ego. There is an idea. ««»» And the hypnotic power of that idea creates the illusion that that’s what I am. ««»» But just like any thought, just like any sensation, just like any sensory appearance, that illusion is ephemeral, it comes and goes. It’s not here all the time. The illusion of ego is just another appearance coming and going. ««»» So for a moment, let’s be together, just pure being, and just notice the manifold comings and goings of life, rising and falling, birthing and dying of thoughts, sensations, emotions, all of it happening within myself. Moving freely within myself, spontaneously and uncreated by any myself. ««»» It’s good to be with you. The online intensive is starting in a couple of weeks, New Paradigm of Being. That’s one weekend, five meetings, about nine hours, full power recognition in that. Your recognition will be doubtless. And then we have a month together in India if you’d like to come. That’s an amazing place to really immerse in this. New freedom at the foot of Mount Arunachala, the home of Ramana Maharshi. That’s going to be a truly amazing time. I heartfully invite you to come. Good to be with you. Have a beautiful day. Peace.

    Good Morning Wake Up - Ep. 160 The Nature of I is Stillness, Silence, Peace

    Good morning, everyone. Let’s just find that stillness, silence, which is the root, the core of what I am. Just for a moment. Don’t attend to any of the moving parts, thoughts or sensations, sounds, visuals, all of that. Leave that for now. ««»» Just know yourself. Pure, subjective, aware. I am. ««»» And just be gentle. Gently keep coming back to this. Pure aware. ««»» You can rest here for a moment. ««»» The activity of mind and senses is all very busy. It takes a lot of energy. All good. That’s all fine. For now, let’s rest. Just knowing myself, I am pure subjective aware. ««»» Here is devoid of name or form. I’m not anything in particular. ««»» I don’t need a name to know that I am, to be. I don’t need a history or a past or a future to know that I am, to be. I don’t need any of my concepts, beliefs, opinions, preferences, to be. I don’t need sight or visual objects, to be. I don’t need sound or auditory objects, to be. ««»» To know myself requires absolutely nothing other than myself, pure knowing, pure aware. To know that I am, to be that I am, requires nothing, only itself. ««»» And so, that’s what a holiday is. To be not dependent on any object. ««»» Pure knowing, pure being is itself. ««»» So for a moment, don’t attend to any of the objects of body or mind or world. Just attend to yourself, I. ««»» And notice that the nature of I is stillness, silence, peace. ««»» It’s good to be with you. Have a beautiful day. Peace.

    Good Morning Wake Up - Ep. 159 A Holiday in the Woods

    Good morning, everyone. I decided to get back on the path today. Would you like to join? ««»» What a very beautiful day in Connecticut. Let’s be on holiday together while we have this nice walk. ««»» A walk in nature is a wonderful time to just be out knowing that I am. ««»» Just pure being knowing.

    Good Morning Wake Up - Ep. 158 Here is Where You Find Yourself, Whole and Complete, Content

    Good morning everyone. Let’s just be together here, openly knowing. ««»» Not knowing anything in particular, but knowing the fundament, the root, I am. Myself. ««»» In any knowing experience, anything we see, hear, touch, taste, think, the root of that is pure knowing I, that which knows any of it. ««»» Without that pure I knowing, none of those objects could be known, nor in fact could they be at all. So, for a moment, simply be here knowing I, pure subject. ««»» Time stops here. Movements of mind stop here. And what is is only here and now. I. Myself. ««»» What more needs to be said, really? All of these spiritual words we talk about and think, spiritual concepts we ruminate over, all of the things, the ideas we try to understand attempt to discover or experience. All of that is just mind dissatisfaction simply with being. ««»» Mind can never be satisfied with simply being because mind itself is movement, agitation, seeking, desiring, fearing. That is what mind is. ««»» So mind itself never can be satisfied with simply being. But when you know yourself as simply being, there is great satisfaction there. ««»» There is the end of lack The end of desiring something. The end of that movement that wants something other. ««»» And here’s where you find yourself whole and complete, content. ««»» So for a moment, this morning, let’s just be together, whole and complete. ««»» It’s good to be with you. I’ll be back again tomorrow. Peace.

    Good Morning Wake Up - Ep. 157 You Can Be Finished Seeking, Start Living Freedom

    Good morning, everyone. I thought I’d share yesterday’s opening Holiday from the Zoom Open Meeting. Enjoy. So I’ll try to be very simple because mostly what I’d like us to do is just to be together in open knowing, pure being. ««»» I don’t actually like to talk about enlightenment or whatever. I like to be it. I speak about it because there is something that can be recognized and I think it’s good to do that. But so, just in a very simple way, don’t attend to any of the moving parts, thoughts, emotions, sensations and all of that. Just attend to the fact of being here consciously aware. ««»» Movements will try to allure your attention, thoughts, sensations, sounds, visual objects. When you notice that you’re allured in any particular direction away from pure being in the noticing itself, you just come back to pure being consciously knowing that I am, pure subject. ««»» Really the highest pointing or teaching is to be. Be still. ««»» To be still means not to not move or anything. It means to not follow along with the movements. It’s for the mind to come to rest. So we’re going to just be still, let the world do what it does. But you, your job, so to speak, is to know pure subjective aware, I knowing myself. ««»» And it’s very gentle what we do. No pressure or force, effort really. Just a gentle reminder. Everything is a gentle reminder. Thoughts are a reminder to come into pure being. Sounds are a reminder to come into pure being. Sensations of the body are a reminder. ««»» And this is what I say is the true meditation. And not to practice meditation or sit in any particular posture. The only posture you can sit in is the posture of pure subjective aware. That’s the posture. No matter what the body is doing, doesn’t matter. ««»» Inquiry is of two kinds. One is this sort of neti neti to see what I am not. You inquire into the body and into the mind to notice that I’m not those things. And then the inquiry, and that’s important, but the inquiry that you end up with is just more the inquiry of being as you are. The big yes, I call it. Yes, I’m this, not no, no, no, no, forever. Because you can inquire like that forever. And you’ll never end, you’ll never stop inquiring. That’s fine. But if you really want to come to the recognition, don’t accept or surrender that you’re going to be an inquirer forever. Because then it becomes a new identity. I’m the inquirer. At some point it’s time to turn around and say yes and be free. ««»» Otherwise inquiry can become quite mental actually. And laborious. Endless. There can be an end, have an end. And start living freedom. My suggestion to start living this recognition, freedom, living it. So when I speak about the end of the spiritual path, it doesn’t mean life stops moving and things stop coming and thoughts stop coming or any of that pleasant and unpleasant stops coming. None of that stops. When I speak about the end of the spiritual path, it just means the end of looking for something new that I have yet to have attained, seeking. Because you’ve found, when you recognize on a holiday, pure subjective aware is what I am, essentially, prior to the moving parts of myself, the body and the mind, prior to those moving parts of what I am, the essential myself, self, pure subjective aware is found. So then why continue seeking? Why not start living that? So I call it living freedom, not practicing it, not seeking it, living it because you’ve found. And that never ends. There’s no end to that. And good. ««»» So my main, you know, desire, wish, function, whatever, is to reveal that so that for you, it’s easy to start living that way. And to get back to ordinary life. I don’t have time to seek, you know, I have to drink coffee. I have to sweep and de-weed the walkway, like I did yesterday and today. I have to take a walk in the woods like I did yesterday. I don’t have time to seek. I have time to live. So that’s my suggestion. Today’s Sunday. I mean, I have to watch the New York Giants play football. I don’t have time to seek. Life is living. Life is happening. Life is happening. Know you’re free. Know that. That’s important. You’ve done that. You’ve spent years doing it. You’ve done it. Now you know it. Okay? You graduate. You can graduate. You’re allowed to graduate. And now start living freedom while you’re watching the New York Giants or while you’re watching Netflix or while you’re having coffee or while you’re having your being with your partner, your friend, while you’re working, while you’re walking, no freedom. That’s it. Simple. ««»» Would anyone like to talk about anything? I think I’ve blabbed enough. ««»» INTENSIVES A New Paradigm of Being - Weekend Online Intensive November 6 - 8 I will hold a weekend 3 day, 5 sessions, intensive instead of the 7 week intensive Salvadore Poe - Liberation IS is a reader-supported publication.

    Good Morning Wake Up - Ep. 156 The Impersonator I

    Good morning everyone. Monday morning, early morning. Nice quiet time. Let’s take a moment to distinguish between the real and the unreal. When we’re on holiday, we know ourselves as being, not this or that, not name or form, not story, not opinion, belief, preference, none of the colors or flavors of the manifested aspect of being. Recognize that now for a moment and be that. ««»» Out of this being or within this being appears, well, the mind, an endless display of stories, memories, preferences, fears, desires, concerns, judgments. And judgments include self-judgment, finding fault with oneself, for example, regret, remorse, all of those things that are part and parcel of what mind is. ««»» That aspect of what I am, that mind masquerades as the real I. But in truth, it’s the impersonator I. And it’s very convincing also, hypnotically so. And that’s because it feels so very close, very localized. And when attention goes to that, it’s easy to fall for that as what I am. And that becomes the real, seemingly. ««»» Well, a holiday for a moment in no time reveals that which doesn’t change, doesn’t come and go, which is always here, which is undeniably I, which to use the word is real. ««»» It’s not a story, it’s not a belief, it’s not a concept, it’s not a memory, it’s not an idea, not a choice or a preference. It’s none of those things. It’s only itself, purely subjective knowing, purely subjective being. ««»» And so a very, very big part of the work is to discern between those two. And really it’s very, very obvious. ««»» And in the discerning between those two, the movement to be free happens by itself. What aids that happening is the recognition of the unpleasantness and suffering that is the rising of the impersonator, the one who claims to be I. ««»» The more we see the suffering that that can and often does offer, the more our intention or desire for living freedom happens. ««»» And so now again for a moment, just here, pure being, the real. ««»» And just notice the movement when the impersonator eye arises. ««»» And when you notice that it’s arisen, come out into the sun, the real, that which always is, that which can’t be denied. That which has nothing other than itself, pure being. ««»» It’s good to be with you. I’ll be back again tomorrow. Peace.

    Good Morning Wake Up - Ep. 155 Wake Up in the Morning To a Holiday

    Good morning, everyone. It’s dark and quiet here in Connecticut. Very early morning. A nice time to wake up to a holiday. You may notice the first thing in the morning. After being asleep, as soon as you become consciously aware, simultaneously the world appears. And so in the morning it’s from deep sleep, no world, no I, no self-consciousness, to I am awake and the world is. Before that in deep sleep there’s no world, there’s no I, there’s no consciousness. So consciousness is dormant or not active in deep sleep. A good thing to do in the morning, if I may recommend something, notice that as soon as you are aware that you are, which means you’ve woken up., waking up means I become aware that I am, because in deep sleep I’m not aware that I am. So as soon as you become aware that you are in the morning, notice how quickly the world of your mind appears and starts to run riot and take over the show. There is a very short, brief, split second upon the first consciousness of ‘I am’ in the morning before the mind takes over and runs riot. There is a brief second there. Mostly you don’t notice that it’s so fast. So I suggest a possibility, I never like to tell anyone what to do, but I suggest a possibility that as soon as you become aware that you are awake, have a holiday. Don’t go into the mind immediately. Try to, in a way, resist the mind taking over the scene. And this is especially true if when you wake up there are some troubling or other issues oriented things happening in the mind, or feeling not so good or something like that. And especially then it’s good, because in those cases, the mind can be kind of insistent and compelling and fascinating. So it’s really very good to just not fall for that, even if it seems important in there. It can wait. In the morning the first thing when you wake up. Those problems can wait. So take a moment. Pure subjective consciousness. And, you know, even if it seems like effort, that’s fine, but use some intention, I guess, to really just remain self-consciously aware, I know that I am, pure being. Like now. ««»» It may not occur to you to do this, for example, tomorrow morning or something, because it happens so fast before we know it, we’re into the world of mind. So I suggest, as soon as you do recall this suggestion, no matter how long, if it’s a minute or five minutes or 30 seconds, whatever, as soon as you do recall it, in that moment, have a holiday before you get out of bed, before you even open your eyes. Just be there lying in your bed, consciously knowing I am pure subjective consciousness. ««»» It’s a powerful time to have this recognition. And if you do, you could maintain that for some time. You can lie there in bed just consciously being aware of yourself, resisting the temptation to follow the stories of the mind coming in. Maybe sit up for a few minutes in your bed. And then when you get up to get your coffee, continue having this pure subjective consciousness. Begin your day like that. ««»» This really does set the tone for your day, so that you’re living this inquiry. In this context, inquiry, I don’t mean looking into something, I mean being that. So you start your day being that. And then you can carry on with your day, living this recognition more and more. And that’s really the crux of what is needed, is to live this recognition moment to moment throughout the day. So now for a moment, just to be clear about that, to recognize this pure subjective consciousness, which is the first touch of consciousness in the morning. Let’s have a holiday now. Just know that I am prior to the movements of mind. ««»» Good to be with you. I’ll be back again tomorrow. Peace.

    Good Morning Wake Up - Ep. 154 Enjoy the Stillness and the Silence

    Good morning everyone. Just here openly knowing. ««»» Let’s just really be on holiday together today. Don’t anticipate any more words coming from me. Maybe they’ll come, maybe they won’t. ««»» Anything that appears in the mind, pleasant or unpleasant, a concern maybe? What is it that has that concern, for example? ««»» That’s the inquiry, because when you look that way, what has that concern?You see that it’s the rising I, mind, and in the seeing of that itself, you’re out again into the sun of pure being, knowing. ««»» And that’s all really that is needed, is just to be, well, just to be. And to notice those movements. ««»» You can enjoy the peace, the stillness and the silence that’s here. ««»» Good to be with you. I’ll be back again tomorrow. Peace.

    Good Morning Wake Up - Ep. 153 The Source of All That Moves is I

    Good morning, everyone. Let’s see what’s happening today. A holiday is very, very simple. It simply means to know that I am. It doesn’t mean to know what I am. It doesn’t mean to know any of the accretions to I am, like name and form and history, personal story. It means prior to all of those things, at the root or the source of all of those things, I am. Wordless, nameless, colorless, formless. Pure being. ««»» The way to be free is not to figure things out, understand things, gain any new interesting concepts, kill something, transcend something. The way to be free is simply to see in real time now that your nature already is free and to be that. ««»» And so now for a moment, don’t be concerned about what’s coming and going in the body, in the circumstances around you, in the five senses, in the mind. Don’t deny any of it. Just for a moment, don’t be concerned with any of that. Just be as you are prior to all of those movements. Be the source of that. ««»» When you recognize yourself as the source of all of that, you recognize also that it’s always been true. It’s never not been true. Maybe you didn’t recognize it. Not maybe, but most definitely none of us recognize that or know that aspect of ourselves. Yet when we do come to know it, we see that it’s always been true. ««»» That means there’s nothing for you to gain or attain or achieve just to come to know yourself in a different way than you’ve known yourself before. ««»» And now this becomes more the locus of your being instead of the body-mind organism being the only exclusive locus of your being. Now you still get to play as yourself, name and form, in the world, in life. But now you know something different about yourself and that changes your being in the world. Excessive self-concern, fear, worry, all of those things can diminish or disappear. ««»» And as we sit here together, it’s very easy, isn’t it? I just say a few words. Leave the space of silence for yourself to recognize. And then it’s oh so clear, isn’t it? So obvious. Nothing can be more obvious. ««»» So let’s sit here openly knowing the source of all that moves is I. ««»» It’s good to be with you. I’ll be back again tomorrow. Peace.

    Good Morning Wake Up - Ep. 152 Don't Mind The Mind. Know I, Pure Subjective Being

    Good morning, everyone. Sorry I missed yesterday. I was busy with some other things. But I’m back. Let’s just be together now for a moment. Just wide open knowing. ««»» I would say I mostly share the way of affirming, not only just recognizing the ephemeral temporal aspects of myself and seeing that in a fundamental way it’s not really what I am. So you can say that’s the way of negating. I mostly lean towards the way of affirming. I know that I am. The big yes. I knowing I. I being I. ««»» Being and the knowing of being are the same. ««»» So, in this way of affirming, the way of being in relation to the mind, the intellection, mental movements, all of those things, thoughts, instead of trying to fight with those things or negate them or try to get rid of them or something, which only gives them more juice, instead of that, just affirm your being, I knowing I. ««»» Don’t mind what’s going on inside the mind. So what? My interest is being I. ««»» When you’re firmly intent on being this big yes, I knowing I, then thoughts coming and going actually, even while they’re there, you still can know this I knowing I. ««»» Because this pure being, what I am, is eternally here. It’s never not here. I am never not here. ««»» Thoughts that come in proclaiming themselves to be I, how can they possibly be I? They’re constantly changing, constantly coming and going, rising and subsiding, constantly different. How can that be I? ««»» What I am is eternally here, never changing, always that which knows itself and knows the movements of mind and body and world as well, at the same time. That must be I. ««»» So the main interest can be to settle into this I, knowing I more and more, be that which you are eternally. Not get rid of the temporal, ephemeral, not do anything with that. Not even mind it. The way of affirming is, yes, I am. I know that I am. I don’t even have to know what I am. I simply know that I am undeniably. So for a moment, blown wide open, yes, I am. I knowing I. Pure subjective consciousness. ««»» It’s good to be with you. I’ll be back again tomorrow. Peace.

    Good Morning Wake Up - Ep. 151 Knowing Oneself in a Different Light is a Very Different Way of Being

    Good morning, everyone. We had a really great open meeting yesterday, so today I thought I would share the opening holiday. So let’s be together, blown wide open, just aware that I am pure aware being. Another way to say it is pure subjective consciousness. Consciousness aware of itself, I know that I am. Let’s do that for a moment. ««»» It’s just simply being that which is prior to all of the movements of body and mind. It doesn’t deny anything, but what is here prior to those risings of body and mind and world? What is here always? Well, the simplest word to use for what is here always is I. I am always here. ««»» Thoughts aren’t always here, are they? They’re coming and going, constantly changing, never the same. Sensory appearances are constantly changing, never the same. Sensations of the body are constantly changing, never the same. But what is always the same and never changing and always here, no matter what’s appearing? Again, the answer is very simple. I. I am. ««»» So for a moment, don’t attend to any of the changing, moving aspects of yourself. Attend to that which is constantly here. I am and I know that I am pure, subjective, aware. ««»» So instead of being anything in particular, being this name, being this form, being these opinions, being these preferences, being this past history, being this person, instead of being anything in particular, we just stop after the word being. Simply being. ««»» When we come to know this aspect of what we are, pure being, pure aware, it’s different from what we’ve known ourselves to be our whole life. If you say, who are you?” I’d say, “Salvadore, from New Jersey.” This person with this past history, this limited, contracted thing, that’s what I am. That’s what you think your whole life, you are that. And of course, you are that. But that’s such a small aspect of what you are, partial, very, very partial. So when we come to know that which is at the root, source, the heart of all of it, pure aware being, now we know ourselves in a very different way. It’s a different paradigm of existing, of experiencing yourself, of knowing yourself. ««»» No longer only knowing yourself as this limited form, which you are as well, but no longer only knowing yourself as that. Now you know that that is just the rising aspect of what I am. That’s the temporal. That’s the ephemeral. That’s the changing. That’s the movement. That’s the Shakti aspect of myself. But now I also know The Shiva aspect of myself, the unchanging, the eternal, timeless, limitless, ubiquitous aspect. And then this is a very different way to live. Very, very different way to live. I call this a paradigm shift, shift of being. ««»» Because until you know this, you’re only knowing yourselves as that which changes constantly and you’re on that roller coaster with no exit. All of the ups and downs, the wave, riding that wave, like a twig in a storm. ««»» And when you’re in that paradigm, you’re constantly looking for safety and security and peace and happiness and contentment because it’s not there. It’s not found there. Temporarily, moments come of those things, but they’re always followed by the opposite. ««»» But now we come out into the sun, pure knowing being, without denying anything. And that’s the beauty. You get to have everything. You don’t have to just be awareness or some silliness like that. And you don’t have to just only be the body-mind as well. Why not have it all? ««»» But as I said in the beginning, let’s see what’s the most important. And what I mean by that is all of the things of the body, mind and life and work and family and money are all very important, no question about it. But if they’re the most important thing, then you suffer along with gaining and losing, birthing and dying, coming and going when that’s the most important thing. But if the most important thing is myself, that which is free, that which is content, that which is already peace, if that’s the most important thing, now you’re no longer looking in the movement for security, stability, peace, and contentment. You can still enjoy that ride. But you know where the movement of peace and contentment and security is already what I am. ««»» So I say the work we do, the recognition of freedom, this is hyperbolic to say, but it’s the most important thing any human being can do in their life, I would say. ««»» And nothing is denied. Nothing is denied. Nothing is denied. Full life. I’m loving Connecticut. I’m loving the trees. I love being with my partner. Loving the good food. Life. Not hiding in a cave. Not being awareness. Full life. Full ordinary life. But knowing oneself in a different light is a very different way of being. And it’s for everyone. And it’s not difficult. And it’s very obvious. And it’s nothing to attain or achieve. And nothing needs to be killed or denied or transcended. In the midst of all of it, I know myself, pure subjective consciousness, that which is prior to all of it, that from which all of it arises and subsides back into myself, all of it. I am the ocean of being and I arise as the wave of the human. Both. I am both. The ocean of being rising as the wave of Salvadore. Wow. It’s like a song. ««»» So you can be very greedy like me. I’m very, very greedy. I want it all, you know. I don’t want to just be awareness. What fun is that? ««»» It’s good to be with you. I’ll be back again tomorrow. Peace.

    Good Morning Wake Up - Ep. 150 Living a Different Paradigm

    Good morning, everyone. Let’s see what’s here today. Let’s be together, openly knowing. ««»» What about you is always the same? Even in the midst of all of the changing movements of body and mind and the world, what about you is always the same? That’s a real question. What about you, in the midst of everything moving and changing, all of the effervescent bubbles of life, doesn’t change? Look now and see. ««»» You can always say, “I am here now”. Right? Clearly. But what is that I am referring to? Because if it’s referring to the mind, well, the mind is very different now than it was five seconds ago. And if it’s referring to the body, then the body is also different now than it was five seconds ago. It’s in a different position, different movement. And yet I am here the same. What is that? ««»» And so the work we do is to first recognize that and then be that knowingly or consciously. Because I am that always. I’m not always conscious of that, but I am that always. That which is in the midst of all of the movements of body, mind, and world, is I. ««»» When you know that more and more, when that’s the locus of your being, as opposed to the ever-changing body, mind, and world being the locus of your being, you are more at ease in the world and in the movements of life, naturally. ««»» Because then those movements of life and body and mind and world no longer are the most and only important thing happening. ««»» It means your peace of mind and your well-being is no longer only reliant on the body, mind and world being or looking in a particular way that pleases you. Because that’s a losing battle, obviously. We’re always fortunate when the world reflects our wish. ««»» But well-being, and ease of being, and peace, and contentment, and security, and stability, none of which are found in the ever-changing world, body, and mind, are always found as myself, I, pure aware being. ««»» Oh, and how nice to know everything is provided in that. Then the movements of life are fine as they are. You can enjoy them and suffer them and all of that coming and going. But you know something new and something different. That I, I’m good. I’m okay. All is well. All is well with me. ««»» So, I often call this a paradigm shift. First recognizing this essential being, having it become doubtlessly what I am and abiding or living as that more and more. A different paradigm than the paradigm of the limited, ever-changing, birthing and dying self and world. ««»» This can become doubtless and it can become your way of being. I do heartfully invite you to join an intensive, if you’d like to. Because we see this and much, much more so that it can no longer be denied. My purpose with those intensives is for you to be doubtlessly conscious of what you are. Free. Your path is finished, seeking is finished, paradigm shift, living more and more freedom. That’s my intention and my only intention with intensives. So if you’re inclined, we can get to the bottom of this, of course. Why not? It doesn’t have to be endless seeking and endless inquiring either. It can come to a very happy conclusion. And then life carries on. The joys, the sorrows, the pleasures, the unpleasantnesses all continue. Of course, that’s what life is. But what are you? That’s the difference. ««»» So let’s, for a moment, consciously aware, pure subjective consciousness. I am the body, the mind, the world. They move on their own. There’s no rhyme or reason for the movements of those things. They just spontaneously move on their own.

    Good Morning Wake Up - Ep. 149 Wake Up As Pure Subjective Consciousness

    Good morning, everyone. I’ve been in America for a couple of days and jet lag has me up at like 4 a.m. So it’s very nice right now, very quiet, dark. The sun hasn’t risen yet. But pure being has. It’s a nice time of day. Why don’t we be together for a little while? Pure subjective consciousness. Just consciousness knowing itself as I. ««»» Don’t be concerned about what comes and goes, thoughts and sensations and sounds and all that. Just be concerned with pure subjective consciousness. I know that I am. And be that. ««»» The mind likes to have something to chew on. It keeps ego alive, of course. That’s obvious. For spiritual seekers or people who want to come to know freedom, the mind can keep itself endlessly fascinated and occupied with, call it what you like, self-inquiry, looking into the great matter, trying to understand this. Whatever it might be. The last thing mind wants to do is to be on holiday. To be fired. But that’s when a true inquiry is happening. Because the true inquiry is simply to be that which is already whole and complete, present, eternal, and free. ««»» And you are found as that, as pure subjective consciousness. Like now. ««»» All of your problems and struggles and stories of woe and plethora versions of those things can easily be found if you look for them. But for now, together, we’re not going to look for those things, we’re going to simply abide this, pure subjective consciousness. I know that I am. ««»» It can be in the morning when you wake up. The world imposes itself. You’re not looking for it in that case. Consciousness becomes awakened and the world imposes itself. All of the problems of your life and of your day appear. Because in deep sleep they weren’t there, were they? But when you wake up in the morning, the world and all of your woes can appear. ««»» And the temptation is to try to go into that and understand it and resolve it and figure it out or suffer it or poor me it or whatever mind likes to do. I suggest don’t do that. Come out into the sun. Pure subjective consciousness. I know that I am, here and now, free of the movements of mind, free of that whole world. That world is called Maya. But for now, we’re not going to do that. We’re going to just know ourselves. Pure subjective consciousness. I am and I know that I am. ««»» It’s a very good way to start your day. ««»» So, good morning. Good to be with you. I’ll be back again tomorrow. Peace.
