The 10th Clue That Which is the Source of Your Being - 16th August 2017

The second task is not clear, that it is the source of your being. We come to this thing that the Absolute is all that is. The Absolute is all that is. Except that there is no movement with it, no movements of existence, nothing at all. Yet when 'I Am' emerges, or the sense of being or consciousness emerges, it is undeniable that a qualitative emergence has happened. Nothing has changed in reality, yet the tasting of existence, the tasting of presence, is undeniably now present in experience. Therefore, this being also must come from all that is, from the Absolute.

We want to break this down many times together also. This is that: what is that 'I' which is now being 'I Am'? It is not that you are this 'I' which is the Self, the Absolute, and now 'I Am'. Then this went into maybe the second part, which is what is confusing. So I said that which is reaching it in an unassociated form. 'I Am'—it means the whole point of letting go of all of these conditions is to remove attributes. If it is wrongly associated, it is a conditioned form. All attributes are functional limitations. We're talking more about concepts about 'I Am this' or 'I Am that'. Even if I remember the context, this is existence. 'I Am' is not something. What the one is, is that 'I Am' the Brahman, and 'I Am something' is the play of Maya. This leads to the sense of individualism, limited existence.

This 'I Am' unassociated is original. We are coming to an end of this, basically. This is consciousness. One thing is what 'I Am'—that 'I Am'—and then going to pick up an association as 'I Am something'. 'I am a man, a woman, I am my advice, I am a seeker'—all these become identities. The person identity is nothing but a basket of these concepts. Once it is seen, okay, consciousness is being itself, it is not this set of conditions that refers to you. Because in an unassociated state, because anything we can find is okay, this is consciousness. And with this little tool here, as form appears and attributes then actually become one, we have here a season. You can appear as if you are a person, you are attaching your Absolute to your face. It is the same appearance. This sense of some individual reveals a limitation that never really existed.
