Pure Being
Don’t Just Do Something, Sit There
For just a moment in your frantically busy life, don’t just do something. Sit there.
We are, after all, called human beings, not human doings. Perhaps there is a message in that. Perhaps there is a hint. In the Soto Zen practice of Shikantaza meditation is called “just sitting”. Meditation is already doing far too much. We often have a goal when we meditate. We want to become peaceful. We want to silence our monkey mind. We want to become enlightened. This is doing. So just sitting is far better. But even just sitting is doing too much.
What about just being? Is that not enough? Just being what? you may ask. Not being anything at all. Just being.
In our helter-skeleter, always doing world, we are constantly trying to become something. We are trying to become better, smarter, thinner, more successful, more compassionate, more spiritual, more enlightened. We have completely forgotten how to simply be. We have forgotten this absolutely incredible, mind-blowing miracle of simply existing.
And this is why we’re always trying to become something else. We don’t have a clue of how amazing it is to simply be what we are because we don’t have a clue of what we are. And we’re never going to find out what we are if we don’t stop this constant doing and, for just a moment, take a breath and simply be.
We can’t make an effort to be. That would just be more doing. We have to stop doing, stop trying, stop thinking, just stop and simply be.
What could be easier than this? You already exist, don’t you? There, you have succeeded. Mission accomplished. Now relax. Take some time and savor the rewards.
How else can you discover who you are if you can’t simply be? This is not something you can discover in any book or spiritual teaching. This is not something you can discover through exhaustive spiritual searching and practices. It is far simpler than any of that. You are already It. Now discover what that It is. And you can only do that by simply being.
The Bliss of God
This is a direct transmission of the the great bliss and freedom of simply being alive, aware and awake. This is a short 5 minute excerpt from last night’s online Enlightenment Experience Group. For more information about the Enlightenment Experience Groups see the website https://n-lightenment.com
The Spiritual Mid-Wife
I am a spiritual mid-wife.
I take people lost in fear, regret, anger and grief, in human suffering, and help them discover the great freedom of their Enlightened Self.
Is life not quite as fulfilling as you know it can be? You’ve worked so hard on yourself, but still there’s something missing. You don’t feel complete yet. You can almost taste that indefinable something but it always seems just out of reach. These are your birth pains.
What is it you are seeking so desperately? What is calling you? What are you yearning for? Is it a love that never fades, that always loves you completely no matter what? Is it a peace that is always here no matter what circumstances come or go? Is it a deep inner well-being, satisfaction and joy that is always here and depends on nothing at all?
Yes, My Dear, that is all here. All of this is true. And this is what you will discover. This is what is coming to you. This is the realization you are giving birth to.
I am a spiritual mid-wife. I work with people who are ready to pop, like you, ready for that next breakthrough that will liberate them.
The deepest wounding any of us can experience is the sense of separation from others, from life, from God. All misery stems from this. All anger, fear, grief, doubt and confusion comes from this feeling of separation. And all of us experience this. And yet this has never been true. We have always been one. We have always been free. We have always been complete. And this is what I help you discover. This is the job of a spiritual mid-wife. I help you give birth to your True Enlightened Self.
Can you feel it coming even now? That great longing you experience is just birth pains, just contractions. It is a process, just like birth, and you may need some guidance. I am here for you. That is my purpose. I’m a spiritual mid-wife. And I am here to help you give birth to your True Enlightened Self.
Truth and Enlightenment
This is the most important and revealing video I have done up to now. There cannot be enlightenment without Truth. And Truth can only be found in each moment.
