Nonduality

Give up all questions except one: ‘Who am I?' After all, the only fact you are sure of is that you are.

Stillness unveils the Secret Teachings. Wisdom and Love abound and overflow in expression.

No excess baggage; we are flying on a very, very low price airline, air samsara. You are allowed 10 grams of luggage and anything more costs you alot. You imagine how much baggage you are carrying in your life, hopes, fears, regret, doubt, uncertainty, provenance. All of that is a burden. Inside the structure of dualistic consciousness it looks like a stream of information which will help me make my decision but it's a decision made based on the past. The past is gone, we cannot go into the past, it's not a place. The past is the echo of the here and now. The basis of the dzogchen practice is if you stay fully in the here and now, what occurs is self occuring, it just arises and then it vanishes by itself. It goes cleanly away. No trace. But the more I think about something it kind of rubs a groove into the structure, the thought becomes thickened with emotion and linkage which of course veils the here and now

“Try breaking up the day by just stopping what you’re doing and saying AHHH. It stops everything. It stops the world. It punctuates the day, making it sacred. Don’t wait for your meditation cushion, or next Sunday. Let’s bring it into our life, those moments that cut through the solidity, the claustrophobia, the veils of illusion. Let the fresh air through...it’s a lovely way to live.”

That seems to be the process of the whole journey: dissolving the question mark into a full stop.

We have got to make friends with death. Poor death, nobody likes him! We are all trying to avoid him. He is given a very bad press. But actually he is really very compassionate. So, kindly make friends. Embrace him, and say: Hello death, what can you teach me?

If you take nothing else away this is the most central point; whenever you find something it's not what you're looking for. Ok. The reason we find something is because we go looking for something therefore don't go looking for something. Stay where you are. Sit, just sit, all which is not essential will vanish, that which is the basis will be revealed. It's like that
