Nothing really happens

Satsang with Mooji So, sensations are occurring, and they can, they can. Someone also said, Agitation is felt and simultaneously ... I received a letter, I didn't bring it. Simultaneously, Agitation is appearing simultaneously with peace. And this one, this person is saying, It sounds strange, but it's true. I say, It doesn't sound strange to me. They don't mutually cancel each other. But which is the greater? Agitation may come. It might be there in the infinite presence of the space of peace and being. Then it might fluctuate, also it pass away. Nothing changes for the being. In the awareness now, the body is showing up and fear arises also momentarily in the body, or occasionally, maybe seasonally, some feelings of fear is coming, watched in the awareness. Now I say, Stay as the awareness. Meaning, directing the attention not to build a story around the fear, which is what the habit is. The habit is to build a story around the fear and pump up the fear. And if the fear is pumped up, then energy goes to this place. This is where all the blood is going. All the energy is going to go there. I'm only showing you the mechanism of how mind, personality, identity, fear, all these things are working in the presence of the awareness itself. Stay as the awareness. What does it mean? Gradually, one feels, initially it might feel, it takes effort to stay as the awareness. What does it mean? It takes effort to stay as awareness. It means that the attention is habituated to going to the crime scene, isn't it? The attention wants to go to where the action is, where the mind is creating the action. If it doesn't go there, it's like no action has happened. Unless and until the mind says something happened, effectively, experientially, nothing happened. It doesn't register in consciousness. And if it doesn't register, effectively, nothing happened. So, did something happen or not? You will decide, and you will determine whether you wish to call it an event or not. It is not imposed upon you. This is your power. I wonder if you are following it. You determine whether something happened or not. You disregard, it doesn't happen. You have interest in something, suddenly it happens. It's like it's writing itself into your memory. What is the medicine for all of these things? Abide as the awareness only. Keep the attention in neutrality. Initially, it might seem to take some effort, but with a little commitment on your part to follow this advice, it becomes easier, and it moves very quickly into complete ease. Next thing you know, you say, Oh my God, it took me so long to find out something so simple. I have this power, or I have too much of this power, and I gave it away, imagining that I had no power. In this power, you have some powers, very important powers. One, power of attention. Because wherever the attention touches, we are registering this as experience. Next thing, belief. Anything can appear in the consciousness, but if you don't believe in it, and if you don't identify with it, it has no power. I said before, A thought without belief has no power. But a thought with belief can start a war. Belief is the important thing. You are learning that not everything that arises needs to be accepted, needs to be pursued. You can ignore. This is the great mastery of the sages. They started to ignore. Not the technique of ignoring. Simply by recognising, I am the beingness, I am the awareness. Everything else is a tourist. Every thought, every emotion is only a tourist. And I am not a hotel for these thoughts. Let them come and go. And like this, nothing could land. Nothing could leave a footprint in the memory. Everything was passing as it is now. Naturally it is so. Naturally it is so. From your child it has been so. Even now it is so. But we dream and cultivate a certain type of behaviour and a relationship out of ignorance to certain types of thoughts and develop a kind of mindset. And now you are living in your mind game, your mindset. Now you are seeing through these things, they are losing power. Through understanding you are seeing. You are understanding your correct position. You are the awareness itself, in whose presence, apparently, you have an apparent life, apparent relationships, and it is fine. Enjoy. We are not dismissing negatively, Oh, anti-life! It is not an anti-life message. We are saying, All this can be there. All this is there. It is all the divine play. It is all the divine. It all arises and it is the play of the One. But if you make your stand amongst the transient, the temporary, the changeful, then you will taste suffering. You will come into the feeling of departure, life, death, sickness, all these things, they will become virile concepts for you. But if you remain as the awareness itself, you will see all is passing. The ocean is infinite, but a wave also comes into time. A wave is water. Ocean is water. Wave is water. Ocean is water. But the minute something lifts, and you say, It is only a wave. It comes into time. And it rolls along the surface. You call that a life. Then it subsides. You call this a death. But it is only water. Who dies here? Name and form. Name and form and belief. This is this world. This is a concept, a thought world. I don't want to talk about these things, because I have no teaching to perpetuate like this. I am only pointing you to that in which all the teaching and the learning and the scriptures and the religions and the beliefs and the doctrines and the heaven and hell and the this and that in you and me and all of this plays, and it is fine. It is a display of the eternal Being. I have no fight with it. But understand your true position. You are the unchanging, manifesting as changefulness, but not losing power. In the same way that from one candle you can light millions of candles without the original flame losing anything. Everything is arising out of this consciousness that you are. I don't know what you are going to do with these words. They will find their own way. Copyright © 2020 Mooji Media Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
