All your life or lifetimes you have been distracted from your Self.
As long as you are a person, you are in business with the ego mind.

I won't ask questions and suddenly, like blackout,
black something covered me and I was completely lost.
I had such a clear mind, what I want, focus, everything.
OK. OK. I hope you are all listening, actually,
because sometimes I know people come and then the mind goes,
OK, I'll just wait until my turn or something.
You are not to do that. Everything is your turn.
Every person comes, everything comes.
What you are sharing is very important also.
Now, what I want to say,
you experienced yesterday that almost like a dark cloud came
and it completely blocks out your energy.
What you wanted to ask, you could not ask it.
You could not ask. So, it seemed very strong.
But if you have been following my pointing,
you will see even that also is phenomenal, isn't it?
Even that is phenomenal.
And even the urge to ask a question is also phenomenal,
because behind this is a space, it doesn't need any question.
First, if a question is really strong,
it means that there is some identity which is there
that needs to ask this question in order to empty itself
and then come into no identity.
That is the best kind of question.
If you have identity and you bring your question,
then when the question is heard in the heart,
it must reduce or discard the identity
and bring you again into the silence of being.
Like that.
So, even this effect, because some people ...
It reminds me just now, sometimes you wake up in the morning,
some people wake up in the morning,
and then they feel like some power is holding them on the bed.
They can't move, they can't even turn.
There is some power, like it cuts your ability,
you cannot do anything, and then panic comes.
The mind starts to go very strong.
What if nobody comes and then I ...
Or they think I am dead, but I am very alive,
I just can't do anything,
and then they are going to take me to the fireplace.
Whatever, these things happen.
So, the mind has many ways in which it can frighten the person,
or the self-image.
But you are being asked here to do something very unique.
Not many people are practising or looking like this deeply.
You are asked to stay in your being,
because your being doesn't have anything over it.
Only your identity, mind, person, this has something over it.
So, you go again and just be in the place.
A big cloud comes, it is OK.
It is also just another experience, it will pass, it is like this.
You stay.
If something says, No, no, what is happening?
Who is doing this to me?
Then it has brought you, and I really want to convey this thing.
It is very important,
because the minute you get back into your reaction,
you get back into your person.
Please listen to what I am speaking.
Then you can't, No, why is this happening?
I am sure it is that one, or this thing,
It is my chance!
And already, something has arisen, and you are aroused,
or your own identity stirs up.
And behind this, I am using the word behind now,
is the place, the untouched place.
But now, because of the excitement,
and the intention, and the frustration
has brought you into another state.
It has brought you out, so to speak, into the place of this.
And now this thing becomes another reason
to stay out and to fight, in the mode of being somebody.
But the Self is not somebody.
All your life, or lifetimes,
we have been distracted from the Self,
to fight battles which are not necessary,
to become angry and frustrated,
and to somehow have a sense of separation
from your essential being.
Because something, ah, the person again,
as long as you are a person,
you are in business with the ego mind.
