“You want to become totally free.

Totally, absolutely free and liberated. You want to know that you're all-pervading. There is nothing but the Self which is you, nothing else exists. The Self is absolute reality, self-contained, absolute reality. The Self is bliss, nirvana, I-am. This is what you are right now. This is your true nature, right now! This is reality right now!

Do not give your energy to this world. For the whole world is a cosmic joke, re- member. And it will suck your energy out, make you weak, make you start searching for remedies, solutions to your problems. You will go through life after life doing these things. The time is now, there is no other time but now. Now is the time to become totally free and liberated. Awaken, for you were never asleep! Awaken from the mortal dream. Let not another day go by where you react to people, places or things. Quit it! Stop it! Do not react to your own body, your own feelings. Quit it! Stop it! Understand who you really are. Stick with it!

Do not look for a time. Do not consider how long it takes, for most of you know by now there is no time. Time is a relative concept, it has no basis, no foundation. Look at yourself without time. Feel yourself without time. This means there never was a time when you were a human. There never was a time when you were a sinner. There never was a time when you had a past. There never will be a time when there is a future. You are all there is right now! All there ever was, all there will ever be is right where you are right this minute. You are that? It is you!“

Oh my, that last one was a good reminder, Unseeker!
I know people find that this place a dream, hard. "A dream, huh?'
It's an experience, alright, you never forget once you are shown.

“ We can say that consciousness is the substratum of all existence. What is consciousness? What is the substratum? It is absolute nothing. It is no thing that you can ever figure out in your brain, in your mind. There's no way to figure this out in your human perception. For your thoughts are always thinking of something. Therefore you can say consciousness has to be this or has to be that. How can consciousness be what your thoughts tell you, since your thoughts are part of the relative world, and thoughts have nothing for you except make you live as a human being?

You have to go way beyond thoughts, way beyond reasoning, way beyond anything and everything you have ever understood, to be consciousness, to understand consciousness. In order to do this, everything you believe must be dropped. Everything you've been led to understand must be transcended. Everything that you can think about has to go. Your ideas of right and wrong, good and bad, up and down, frontwards and sideways, all these things have to be totally transcended, totally removed from your thinking patterns.”

“ The only way you can ever help other people is by knowing yourself. The only way you can ever be of service to others, is by knowing yourself. The only way you can give anybody anything, is by knowing yourself. For when you know yourself, you know others. You will find the others, are yourself. There is only one Self. Everything is that Self, everything. Every leaf, every plant, every cloud, everything is the one Self. That one Self is you.”

Sounds like your everyday exp in deep meditation!
No thoughts. Yup, it all goes out the window.
He does make it a bit intense sounding, ha-- " go way beyond, transcend, remove,
everything dropped, up and down, way beyond reasoning...everything you've understood
has to go..."

It's not so intense as it may seem, lol...it's just being still...albeit, so still like
most could never imagine...almost breathless, so still.
Ok, so you may have to sit motionless for many hours to reach this place....so?

But, it's not that hard...it's so peaceful and sweet - just let go of thoughts...
just become aware...be simple and still...be Awareness Itself.
Forget earth - forget your name-forget the body, the room you're in,
forget your gender - just be.

This is a super great experience.

Ha, your half way there if you've floated on your back or on a float
in a pool alone, safe, quiet, warm - like a baby in a womb...
earplugs in, all still...not a care.

They realize whatever they do, it is God doing it.'

You must help others, for you are unfolding into a living conduit of peace in the world."

“ There is only one truth, and that truth is the absolute reality, what we call God, sat-chit-ananda, pure awareness. That is the one truth, and you are that. It's you.”

“ When your mind is stayed on God, it means you have surrendered completely, totally, absolutely, to that which is divine, sacred, which is your Self. You have turned within, and given it all up to God. Therefore your life becomes a blessing. If you can do it, truly do this, not make a statement and talk about it, but truly surrender yourself so completely that you have nothing to think about, nothing to say, you're giving yourself away to the universal intelligence, absolutely, then you will find things will work themselves out totally and completely. Every move that you make will be divinely inspired. Every step that you take will be divinely guided. Everything you do will be sacred.

So we're not making an affirmation. We are simply surrendering ourselves to that which is. We're just dropping ourselves completely, totally, to that which is, to that which always was, to the universal intelligence, to the infinite presence, which is and has always been, and will always be, that perfect something, that you are right now, this minute.“

“Be still. Stop struggling. Enter the holy shrine of your heart, and there find peace and joy. You have always been perfect and you will always be perfect. There's absolutely nothing you have to delete or add.

Remember why? If you have to delete something from your life, or add something to your life, what you're doing is you're saying, "There is something else going on in this universe besides perfection, so I have to add something to my life or delete something in my life." But I say to you there's only perfection. Only the absolute reality exists. Only sat-chit-ananda is. Pure awareness exists. You are that. You have always been that. You will always be that, no matter what you say, what you do, what you hear. You are totally perfect, totally pure, untainted. This is called the Self. You are the Self, right now, right this minute, right this second.”
