Meet Yourself Until the Concept of 'Meeting' Dissolves - 25th January 2018

Gabriel says: I don't care to speak, but I am spending a lot of time lately meeting or checking in to feel, sense, see my own self. Is this as effective as staying as I am, staying with 'I am'?

Yes. How's everything? Meet yourself until the concept of meeting dissolves. Even with staying with 'I am', the notion of staying dissolves. It is as direct as you meet yourself, so seeing that only the Self is, and then you will come to see that it is impossible to leave myself. I know it can seem like it is a bit of a play. The thing is that as we discover ourselves, you are finding that this Self includes all things, and yet this unchanging has been ignored, has been kept aside for so long that as we are meeting ourselves this way, then for a while it can seem like we are divesting from other things. But actually, as you continue to meet yourselves in this way, it expands. This meeting, it includes all things, and this is the very same as what Maharaj said: to be with the sense 'I am', to remain with your presence.

What is most important is to be with yourself without judgment, without interpretation, without any conceptual meaning. I was saying the other day that the loot and immortal air can be, but what is the deal with the being? The being says: 'If I am interpreted or judged by one aspect called the mind, then I will pretend as if I am a limited identity, I am a personal existence.' Meeting your universal existence until the notion of the one that is coming to this meeting dissolves, and that is now. You meet yourself, you, and tell me if the one who wanted to meet themselves still remains.

Dive into your being and notice whether you can actually ever step out of your being. What is your original position? What is the starting point? It is the Self. And you'll find that all that seems to happen is that the gravitational pull of sensations and perception seems to attract our attention, and because the attention goes to these things, it can feel like 'I left myself'. But it is not true that with the movement of attention you leave yourself. But for a while, as you bring yourself back naturally to this simple being, natural presence, you will see that it's just not possible to leave this. So for those of you for whom meeting is actually playful, easy, not hard work, can stay with this. Stay with your divine presence which has always been here. As you meet yourself, see if you can leave yourselves unharassed by any expectation of what should happen or even a conceptual checking on what is happening. You let all concepts come and go.
