One day, at any moment, it could be right now…
You find your light, always glowing,
just waiting to be seen.
My dear friends, let’s talk about something truly remarkable today: Awakening, Enlightenment, The Absolute…
As we speak about it, as we imagine it, we arrive there, and See a moment of clarity.
So what is it?
In the first place, it helps to know that when we experience Awakening, we feel no need to question it.
The experience is as clear and undeniable as the sun in the sky.
But for guidance, let’s make a concept in our minds.
Awakening is an experience that cannot be separated from Truth. Here, life becomes an understanding that exists beyond the senses. And as such, a separation from labels, conditioning, concepts, and beliefs must precede Awakening.
In this journey, there are obstacles, and they all exist in our minds. If our minds are too cluttered with knowledge, judgements, and concepts, there may be no room left for Truth.
The beauty of Awakening is that it can happen anytime, anywhere, always, and forever. It doesn’t matter where you are in terms of spiritual purity or progress, because pure Awareness transcends all perception.
Awakening overcomes all doubt. It’s as self-evident as the smile on your face when you are filled with joy. The only tools you’ll ever need to find it are innocence and openness, like a child’s wonder. Now imagine yourself the child, but you are also the world around you — not yet fully explored. Our perceptions of life are beautiful. We see, we think, we evaluate, we feel, we experience.
Everything happens as naturally as the flow of time.
But here is the marvel of Awakening: You are not the body or the mind, you are their Observer. It is not the body or the mind that wakes up. It is Consciousness experiencing itself as different layers back to its own Divinity. All layers are Divine when you See it.
You are the pure sense of Being that cannot exist without the body. All is Being. Then you realise that you are the Awareness observing the being, body and mind, which are here today.
So let’s embrace the journey of Awakening with open hearts. In it, there is something to be discovered, and in it is all of Us. It is you. It is I.
The destination is never far, because the Truth is already within us, just waiting to be Seen.
Thank you for sharing this timeless moment of clarity and joy.
The universe was never born,
nor maintained,
nor dissolved.
This is the plain truth!
One day, at any moment, it could be right now…
You hear Divine Silence, and True Consciousness makes itself known to you.
This moment is timeless. It is the realisation of Pure Joy.
You feel calm, safe, and in perfect harmony with all.
You realise that this moment always was, is, and will be.
It is the permanent and supreme reality of Consciousness.
You are that Consciousness.
When you abide in that what you are, you become that.
Detached from the noise of existence, you find yourself in a silent space between thoughts.
Here, you experience pure awareness.
You are aware of your thoughts, but you are not your thoughts.
It is not a mood. It is not an emotion. It is not a thought.
It is a discovery.
You feel yourself separating from the illusion that you are a separate self.
You are consciousness awakening to its true being: pure, inseparable Divinity.
You have made the ultimate discovery.
One day, at any moment, it could be right now…
You begin to see the infinite landscapes of Joy: a divine flow of energy, clarity, creativity, and intelligence.
By being aware of the flow, you realise that you are part of the flow.
Not as body, not as mind, but as awareness.
Realisation is your transcendence.
Awareness separates you from your false self.
You are awakening to the endless peace, love and joy that you are.
By being aware; The Divine Spirit within you removes the false notion that you are a separate being.
Your spiritual evolution is the realisation of what you truly are.
As you awaken to the Awareness within, it expands to reveal infinite perceptions of a Divine field.
The person you thought you were is just a tiny, sparkling glint in this boundless field of energy.
You are aware of yourself, and of the field.
The mind/body connection reveals a cosmic dimension of infinite depth.
You begin to understand that Awareness is a divine nature with finer perceptions.
They are all part of the One Awareness.
You are part of the One Awareness.
You are awakening to the true depth of Consciousness.
One day, at any moment, it could be right now…
In self-realisation, your ignorance is destroyed.
You see that your true self exists outside of body, thought, and inner voice.
Pure, enduring wellbeing is revealed – as your identity melts away.
You are Bliss.
That Bliss is Consciousness alive.
Everything exists in a field of Consciousness.
‘I’ am all there is.
There is no distinction in the Awareness of Consciousness.
Awareness is the Unity of all Consciousness.
You realise that you are unchanging, thought-free silence, always satisfied, and have always been.
You are not defined by this moment, the past, or the future.
Your nervous system becomes calm, and your body and mind connect to deeper levels of consciousness.
You feel the awakening of internal bliss. It has been in you the whole time.
The silence is always here, and never anywhere else.
If you look for it, you will not find it.
You don’t look for it anymore.
Instead, you listen to the silence.
You have now the power to be the silence when you are doing things, thinking thoughts, and being active.
You now have the power to be, see, hear, taste, feel, smell, sense silence as long as you live.
The Sense of Being is Consciousness.
And you ask yourself,
“How could it be more than this?”
“How could I not see this yesterday?”
One day, at any moment, it could be right now…
You see the vibration of bliss, love, and God in everything.
Having seen yourself as awareness, you now have the perception of Divine Intelligence.
Everything feels possible.
You live life aware of Divine energy.
Your mind and body are no longer the limitations of the self.
You understand that you are much more than ‘you’.
You feel light on your feet, and can find joy in everything.
All is bliss.
Cosmic Consciousness is a blissful state.
But you realise that bliss changes all the time.
Bliss itself is a state within an infinite field.
You have seen bliss for yourself.
Now you must expand even further, into pure love.
Again, we think this is it.
“How can there be more than this?”
“How could I not see this yesterday?”
“But what if I cannot see it still?”
One day, at any moment, it could be right now…
You explore the flow of pure love.
You disappear in a placeless place where the observer and the observed are one.
There is no more separation between the experience and the experiencer.
Everything Shines as Light.
There was never a you.
You did not experience anything.
Nothing can enter Oneness.
There is no distinction between inner and outer.
Pure love is the self, the other, and the connection in between.
You cannot know anything, because there is no you.
There is only Oneness.
There is only the clarity of Pure Love.
And you flow onward still.
This flow of love will lead you into the finer specter of love and to total freedom.
Lord Jesus said:
When you make the two one,
the inside like outside,
the outside like the inside,
The above like below,
The male and female the same,
Then will you enter the Kingdom.
Again, we ask, “How can there be more than this?”
“How could I not see this yesterday?”
One day, at any moment, it could be right now…
You realize you are beyond Consciousness itself.
There is an awareness that came before everything.
Pure nothingness, beyond all description.
It is self-evident, just as your awareness of time before creation.
It is complete wholeness.
It is Majestic Silence.
No words can explain, no thought can touch the purity of nothingness.
It is a constant wholeness, the very fabric of the Divine field.
Majestic Silence understands itself by being itself, where there is nothing to understand.
Yet there you are, as nothingness.
And you are whole still.
You exist as perfect clarity. In daily life.
The silent stillness has become the waking world.
There are no objects, mind, body, or energy.
This stage of awakening reflects the disappearance of objects.
The imostor thought / I thought cannot disturb you.
And here you are, in the waking world.
A state of Oneness has absorbed you.
Anytime, you can see the world, and you can see the nothingness.
You realise you are both, in One.
Again, we ask, “How can it be more than this?”
“How could I not see this yesterday?”
One day, at any moment, it could be right now…
In the depths of silent nothingness, you find and explore the true eternal self as pure Grace, the Divine, and the Absolute.
It is a Supreme Reality, Divinity in Nothingness, and the cause of all causes, where Nothingness Shines.
In Nothingness, the infinite layers of Joy can never end.
It is The Giver of Life, the supreme cause of it all.
Once this reality is clearly expressed, it is never lost.
This realisation is the absolute solution to all human problems and challenges.
It liberates every moment from all places and states.
Before the Absolute, even the purest light has a vibration.
But in the Absolute, there is no vibration at all.
It is Pure Stillness.
It is Divine Power.
It is Full of Love.
All you see and have seen is pure divinity radiating as All things.
And at the source of All vibrations, there is Pure Stillness.
It is the Lightless Light
The Giver of The Light
That Light All Souls
Our Absolute nature exists here, now, and always. However, just like the stress response of the body submits to the thought, our world itself submits to the power of I-thought. The arrival of the Absolute, the no-thought, the no-mind, is a state of transcendence akin to a vast open sky. It is always possible, now, and forever. Illusion is the only limitation to this transcendence. As long as we believe that we are our thoughts, the sky remains closed, and our Light shining by itself on the other side.
Ramana Maharshi once said, “There is no world. There is only the Shining Self.”
This is the perspective from a stateless state, where no other world exists, only the Self. Nothing can be given, nothing can be taken away, nothing needs purification. How do you purify nothing? There is only one “Universal I”. Ramana referred to this as “I-I”.
We call it our Light.
Consciousness and the Absolute
The Final talks of Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj.
Maharaj: Out of what is the body created?
Questioner: It is an expression of consciousness.
M: Is this body not composed of the five elements? You know that you exist; does not this knowledge depend on the five elements? The consciousness cannot be known without the body. It depends on the form.
Q: Do you mean that without the body I do not know that I am?
M: That is correct. From your own experience, not what you have heard or read, can you know that you exist without the body.
Q: I exist without this body.
M: Forget about what you have read. When you did not have the experience of this body, did you have the experience of being (I Amness)?
Q: Is the “I am” there all the time as long as my body is there?
M: The “I am” is absent only in the state of samadhi, when the self merges into the Self. Otherwise, it will be there. In the state of a realised person the “I am” is there; he/she just doesn´t give much importance to it. A jnani (realised person) is not guided by a consept.
Q: The being is the witness?
N: There are two witnessing stages, beingness witnessing all manifestation.
The witnessing of this beingness, consciousness, happens to that eternal
principle, the Absolute.
One day, at any moment, it could be right now…
You find your light, always glowing,
just waiting to be seen.
