Dissolving Fear of the Non-localization of Awareness - 23rd August 2017

Yes, I have a question. Now, I find that talking with others, it's not that discovering 'I am' or being aware of this awareness is unknown, but the fear of being this vastness somehow, as if it's outside the body—which it is—but here it's not fearful. This non-localization somehow, it's playing as form, name... or name is untouched but not separate. But any clues for that? The shying away from the vastness the mind conjures up of non-localization, of no center, instead of just here now where presence and all that is?

Mostly what happens is that it's like the first time that we're getting on an aeroplane. We start to leave the ground, going above the clouds; some fear, the fear of heights. But as you get used to it, you can see that so many of us now, we go on flights, we're just like we are at home. We don't even bother to look outside the window and see that we are flying above the clouds. Something starts to recognize the naturalness of this. It no longer seems like a scary, alien concept. So, as we are coming to this naturalness, the mind will lose this appearance. And I cannot find myself anywhere in this universe—not this body, not this, not this. This relatively non-localization will move on to, you know, she sighs okay. Sometimes I say it is here, that is within me. I am not here; I am beyond here and there. But this 'here' is just another aspect of myself.

So this vastness of yourself, this non-local, non-phenomenal vastness that you're discovering about yourself—of course the mind will use every opportunity to conjure up some scary visuals, some scary feelings of what is going to happen. But as it becomes more and more natural, you will find that to consider yourself to be local will seem more of a pain. If you have to identify forcefully with a constricted, limited idea of yourself, it will start to feel like trying to fit into the shoes you were wearing when you were five years old. You know? All of this, this is good. This should be. The fear is a natural quality. Fear of dissolution, fear of not finding yourselves as a localized entity, fear of death—to put it in another way. All of this, just a little bit of wobbliness which will come. But as you get used to the taste of this more and more, as you start to enjoy not finding yourselves in this phenomenal world—there is no 'me' here to find—as this becomes more and more clear, as it is in your case, then you might even come to this place where even if the feeling of fear is coming, it's fine. But can we go as far as to see even that is enjoyable to some extent?

Is that it is outside the body? It is outside your true body, which is this manifest universe itself. The manifest universe is the body of this aspect of yourself, of consciousness. Why do you think I keep saying I will not let you settle? Not you in such a small identity. If you settle for the limited idea about yourself... and as you are coming to the naturalness of this, I'm already seeing how many beings are coming in contact with you and finding the light of their own presence. You know, simplicity, naturalness, specialness—always surrender it to the feet of the Master. Welcome to this clarity about at least coming to the openness of all that could be in reality. Because as they're starting to meet you, they are meeting something which is not considering itself to be just contained within the physical body. You might not say these words, but it's like a chime to each and every being.
