Belief is Only Possible When I am Not Clear About my True Position - 4th September 2017

Lydia says: What is coming up here, what is coming up here is that belief seems only possible when I'm not clear about my true position.

Yes, that's why I say that it is in your recognition of the true position, the truth, where you find so much space to let go of the position which the mind is trying to give you. And as you let go of the position the mind is trying to give you, it seems the recognition is so much more clear. This is the virtuous cycle. The mind has the opposite game plan. It wants to sell you a position about yourself, and as you seem to get stuck in a position about yourself, it seems like this recognition is just word games or mind games.

Then, when looked at from an individual perspective, awareness can just seem like words to you. When looked at from the position of the Self, of awareness itself, it is the person which can seem like an unimaginable game. You will start to wonder how you believed yourself to be a limited entity. You're absolutely right that for belief, there must be some identity. You say, 'Yes, this is meaningful for me,' and you will find that that which has been nurtured with your belief in the past, that still might seem to come off as meaningful to you.

That is why both aspects of this way of Satsang, which is the recognition of the truth as well as the letting go of the false, are completely dependent on each other. They are one play. And you see, when there is no blue cat, then it becomes more difficult to be ruled by the ideas about what the blue cat should do, what the blue cat wants.
