Absolute Fucking
Liberation
FINISH
IT! Be done with it! No mas!
Whatever you are thinking, feeling and experiencing—let it be. If you
are trying to change your thoughts, emotions and sensations—you are
screwed! Even when your thoughts, emotions and sensations are in accord
with what you think they should be—you are FUCKED! Your experience is
not going to remain the same! The phone is going to ring, "This is the
I.R.S."—you are fucked! It does not matter what your experience is! It
does not matter if you are laughing or crying.
All
experience is an interpretation of your mind. What I am pointing out to
you is beyond your mind. It is beyond your thoughts and
emotions—especially your emotions! Emotions are subconscious thoughts
and beliefs for the most part. They come up quickly and you feel, "Well,
this must be real and true because I can feel it in my stomach and
chest!" NO! You feel strong emotions and thoughts because you are
conditioned and programmed. And you did not even know you were being
programmed as a child and as an adult. Even now—everything you
experience is your programming. This is all I can experience—my
programming. What else can I experience?
To
look for peace and well-being in thoughts, emotions, sensations and
experiences—you are FUCKED! To believe the idea, "I get it
intellectually, now I need to get it experientially,"—you are FUCKED!
Why? Because you will get it experientially, and then you will hear a
knock on your door, "We are from the I.R.S. We left a message and you
did not return our call!"
Whatever your thoughts, emotions, sensations and experiences are—let
them be! Thoughts, emotions, sensations and experiences are not an
accurate reflection of who you are. They are not an accurate
interpretation of what is happening. And you have no other way to know
or experience what is happening apart from thoughts, emotions and
sensations. So what are you going to do? Working in the realm of
experience you go from one dream to another—the dream of seeking and
suffering to the dream of enlightenment—which is even worse!
Believing you are enlightened you will have to live up to some bullshit
story you have about your little dream of enlightenment. Now your shit
is supposed to smell like roses, right? You are screwed! You will have
to run outside and hide when you shit, or people will know you are not
enlightened!
YOU
ARE DONE—NOW! Finished. No mas. There is no way you could ever prove to
yourself that you have got it. You cannot have the thoughts, emotions,
sensations or experiences that tell you, "I’ve got it now!" Why? Because
there are no such thoughts, emotions, sensations or experiences that are
the stamp of approval that says, "I got it!" There is no such stamp of
approval. So what are you waiting for? You are waiting for NOTHING!
Hartwell: Wow! We walked right into the lion's den! We are starting
off on a high!
Neenah: Sometimes we do have the impression that we are experiencing
something outside the box, outside of our conditioning. What is that?
You were saying you can only experience your conditioning.
Stephen: Yes. What else can you experience? Find out for yourself.
There is no way to know or experience anything apart from your
conditioning. If I do not already know what I am experiencing, how can I
recognize what I am experiencing?
Neenah: Oh, I see.
Stephen: I would not know what I was experiencing—unless I already
knew. How would you recognize the truth when you have found it? "I am
looking for the truth my whole life. And now I have found it!" You must
have already known it, or how do you know you have found it? You cannot
find something that you do not already know. And if you say, "I do not
know the truth—I want to find the truth." And then you find the truth
and say, "This truth is beyond my conditioning." How can it be? If it is
beyond your conditioning you will not be able to recognize it.
Recognition is conditioning.
Neenah: Okay, okay. I accept.
Stephen: I am talking to everyone—not only you!
Chara: Do not take it personal!
Stephen: What I am pointing out is absolute freedom from all
conditioning. It is freedom from suffering. It is freedom from
awakening. It is freedom from enlightenment. It is freedom from all that
bullshit. It is not to get it. It is freedom from that bullshit. The
freedom I am pointing to is this present moment of aware presence—and
you have no fucking way to know what is happening. You have no way to
know. How would you know? Unless you have been conditioned and
programmed, and you believe you know what is happening—you do not have a
fucking clue what is happening!
You
do not know where you are.
You do not know how you are.
You do not know why you are.
You do not know where you are going.
How
would you know? Now you are free of that shit. Now my mind is open to
the freedom of the unknown!
Look
at the flickering flame of the candle! That is it! DONE!
It
is freezing cold outside. DONE!
Nothing to do—YOU ARE FREE!
Hartwell: Whew! Well, where do you go from here?
Stephen: What I am pointing to is absolute freedom from all
experience. This is comprehensive and all inclusive. Now, moment to
moment as thoughts, emotions, sensations and stories arise—you are free
of all experience. Your experience is not an accurate representation of
reality—you have no way to know or experience reality. You experience
your own conditioned beliefs. You say, "I know I did not wake up yet. I
knew I would not get it. I know I do not understand." What? Wake up from
your own bullshit—all of that bullshit! You are already awake—this aware
presence here and now.
Your
thoughts are not an accurate representation of who you are or what the
world is. Your emotions are not an accurate representation of who you
are or what the world is. You have no way to know the reality of what is
happening apart from your mind—which is delusion. Your reality is
delusion. All knowledge and experience is delusion. Whatever you are
experiencing is delusion. Delusion is all there is.
Now
you are free. Now you experience a lucid dream. Lucid dreaming while
awake and lucid dreaming while asleep—all a lucid dream. Whether your
eyes are closed and you are unconscious and asleep, or your eyes are
open and you are conscious and awake—you are dreaming of the world. Not
as a theory—RIGHT NOW. Right now you are experiencing your own
programming. Whether you agree or disagree it does not change the
fact—you are experiencing your programming and conditioning. And there
is no way you can experience anything else. This is why you can let your
thoughts and emotions be as they are. Leave them unchanged,
unmodified—they are irrelevant.
Once
you start trying to change thoughts and emotions, picking and choosing
experiences, you are playing in dog shit! You have dog shit emotions,
and you say, "I do not like this experience. I want different thoughts
and emotions." So you pick up some cat shit. "Now I have cat shit!"
Leave it alone! Let it be!
Hartwell: That is funny.
Stephen: This natural perfection is here now and is untainted by dog
shit or cat shit. It is present and aware here and now. This is the
fundamental truth. Everything else is illusion—so let it be. Leave alone
your thoughts, emotions and experiences. If you are looking for better
emotions, you are looking for cat shit! You want to switch from dog shit
to cat shit: "I want better emotions." Please!
This
present moment of aware presence is absolute freedom. Be aware and let
it be.
Leave alone your thoughts and feelings—and your relationships—oh, God!
"If I could just get my relationships ironed out, then I could live in
peace!" Please!
Hartwell: So all the great techniques, and technological
consciousness systems—it is all bullshit?
Stephen:
What you believe is real and true, you will experience as real and true.
If you believe in a system then you will experience the system as real
and true. You may have one-hundred steps in your enlightenment system
and you believe in it. And now you are on step twelve—that is your
experience! You cannot deny your experience. "I am on step twelve of the
one-hundred step awakening system. Boom! Here I am. You cannot tell me I
am not. I say I am." So that is your experience. I say it is bullshit!
I do not care what anybody says, "Well, you are only on step
forty-two." Fuck you! There are no steps!
Sven: The steps are imaginary.
Stephen: Yes. WAKE UP!
Either you believe your thoughts, emotions, sensations and experiences
are an accurate representation of the truth of who you are—or you do
not. There is no grey area. Now you realize you have no way to know or
experience anything directly. Everything you know and experience is a
reflection of your conditioning and programming. You cannot know or
experience anything at all apart from your conditioning. Everything you
know and experience was programmed in previously. There is no freedom in
knowledge and experience. There is no freedom in your conditioning and
programming. There is no freedom in your thoughts, emotions, sensations
and experiences. There is no freedom in dog shit and cat shit!
Freedom is beyond knowledge and experience. Freedom is beyond thoughts,
emotions, sensations and experience. Freedom is beyond the mind. Freedom
is beyond your world of experience.
Now
you have seen through the movement of mind and emotion. You have seen
through the mental and emotional stories that were playing in your head
about who you are—in your relationships, your career and your whole life
situation. All those mental and emotional stories are false. Not one of
those stories can define or describe who you are or what the world
is—not one of those stories is true. Not one!
Do
you see and feel how absolutely liberating this is? There is nothing
your mind can tell you about yourself that is true. NOTHING! So, now
what are you going to do? How and what are you going to seek? How will
you know when you have attained?
YOU
ARE DONE!
End
of story! Now you are absolutely free—you are beyond knowledge and
experience. You are absolutely liberated from all thought, emotion and
sensation. Now you are absolutely liberated from all of the human
experience. You are absolutely liberated from the tyranny of
me—me-myself-and-I. Now you are free of the tyranny of mind—the
bullshit of mind.
Vidal: Why do you use the word liberated?
Stephen:
Bondage is when the mind believes in and suffers over its own stories
about 'me' and the world. Right now, if your mind believes that the
thoughts and emotions arising in you are an accurate description of who
you are, then the mind is bound by its own limiting beliefs—the mind is
bound by itself—and it suffers.
Liberation is when the mind realizes its own ignorance. Liberation is
when the mind realizes its own limits. Liberation is when the mind
realizes that all its knowledge is false—and this realization is the
highest knowledge! Now you are beyond knowledge and experience. Now you
are absolutely liberated from all knowledge and experience. Now you are
beyond the mind—absolutely free! THIS is liberation.
Now,
I am present and aware. I know all objects of awareness are my own
mind—and my own mind knows it is CLUELESS!
What
I am, this aware presence, is looking out through these eyes, looking
out through everyone’s eyes. What is looking out through those eyes
right now? There is something looking out through those eyes, listening
through those ears, sensing through that body—what is this? This is the
fundamental truth of what we are.
We
can call it awareness or consciousness. Awareness is like space. It is
not a thought. What is aware of thought? It is not an emotion. What is
aware of emotion? It is not an experience. What is aware of experience?
I am this space-like awareness that is aware of everything.
What
I am—this aware space—is absolutely liberated. This aware space never
had a problem. What I am is liberation—this aware space that is looking
out through these eyes. The space between you and I is the space of
consciousness. This space is free.
The
space of this room is not affected by the flickering flame of the
candle, or whether people are in this space or not. There is space here.
This is the space of what I am—this aware presence. And it has always
been free and liberated.
As
this consciousness, it is impossible to have a problem—unless the mind
believes in a problem. When the mind questions its own beliefs: "Is this
a problem? How do I know it is a problem? I do not have a clue! I do not
know what a problem is!" And when this mind says there is a problem—I
know that it is not true. I know that this mind has interpreted
something as being a problem and it seeks an idea for a solution. This
mind believes in suffering, it believes in seeking, and it believes in
the attainment of enlightenment—all bullshit. This aware space does not
need to be enlightened. This consciousness that is here now has no
problem, was never seeking, and can never attain anything. It does not
matter what comes into this aware space that I am—it is all bullshit!
Vidal: And so that is only true when you are aware of consciousness,
or this space?
Stephen: When the mind believes there are limiting conditions for
liberation, the mind experiences those limiting conditions as if they
are real! When the mind believes, for example, that liberation only
happens when there is awareness of consciousness—however you phrased
it...
Vidal: Awareness of awareness.
Stephen: So the mind has the idea that liberation is dependent on
awareness being aware of awareness. That idea was arising in the space
that you are. If that idea was believed, it was your experience. But I
am telling you—that idea is bullshit.
Vidal: But I am not sure if it is an idea or an experience.
Stephen:
An idea is an experience—there is no difference. You experience your
ideas. Right now there is awareness of those ideas. This aware presence
is the truth of what I am—and I am absolutely free. This is the
fundamental truth. The idea that you have about awareness being aware of
awareness is bullshit. It is not the fundamental truth. It is
fundamental bullshit. This aware space that you are is already
absolutely liberated. This aware space that you are is the same as the
space of this room.
If
the limiting ideas you have about yourself are believed to be real and
true, you will experience them as real and true. If there is a belief
that awareness must be aware of awareness to be liberated, then you will
live your whole day in a nightmare. "I must be aware of awareness so I
can be free someday." It is bullshit.
Vidal: So I am always present—would you say?
Stephen: There is awareness here now. This is the fundamental truth.
Various spiritual traditions have referred to this present moment of
awareness as the fundamental truth. They say the fundamental truth of
what we are, is consciousness, and consciousness is all there
is—awareness is all there is, this basic space of phenomena, this
cognizing emptiness. The various traditions use different terms. Is
there awareness here now? So use whatever term you want from any
tradition.
There is awareness here now and this is referred to as the fundamental
truth. Everything you are experiencing is not the fundamental truth—it
is fundamental bullshit! And you have no way to know or experience
anything else. Everything you are experiencing is bullshit. Everything
you are thinking is bullshit. Everything you are feeling emotionally is
bullshit. It is not the truth. Now you realize this is absolute fucking
liberation. Why? Because you are free of all knowledge and experience!
If
freedom, peace and love are dependent on anything at all—you are fucked!
If it is dependent on some emotion, thought or experience—you are
screwed. Because thoughts, emotions and experiences are always changing
and they are not the fundamental truth. Thoughts, emotions, sensations,
and experiences are always changing. If you are relying on an experience
to live in peace, you are screwed because your experience will change.
But something is aware here how. Is this changing at all?
You
can work and play in the realm of psychology, or be done with the whole
fucking thing. Psychology has its place. Working in the realm of
mind—working with thoughts, emotions, beliefs and relationships has its
place. But beyond the realm of mind is absolute freedom and absolute
liberation from all psychology. Liberation from all movements of
mind—thought, emotion, sensation and experience—is this timeless
presence here and now. Here and now, what can you say about yourself?
Describe yourself. Define yourself. Tell me about your mental and
emotional state—right now! Without referring to the past or projecting
into the future—what is the problem? There is awareness here now. Let
everything be as it is, and stop trying to change dog shit into cat
shit! Let it be. This is absolute liberation.
In a
very practical way, as you are going about your day—this is very
practical—you may begin to laugh inside at everything that is happening
because you know it is a dream. Your daily experience is dream-like.
Even now, this seems real, but you know it is a dream. You can call it a
lucid dream. Your experience now is a real, lucid dream. You know that
you do not know, and yet you are experiencing each moment as if you
know. Your experience right now is a lucid dream.
As
each experience arises, you are laughing inside. Even when there is an
experience of being upset, you are laughing inside because you know that
you do not know. And you know that ‘you’ are not upset. It is like
having a tiny splinter: "Ow! That hurts." But you know it is not a
serious problem—it is only a splinter. And the same is true of all
experience—it does not matter. You can take the most extreme experience:
The doctor could come and tell me, "You are going to die. You have three
weeks to live." I do not fucking care. What difference does it make?
Hook me up to a morphine pump—and let it be!
Neena: You do not have conditioning?
Stephen: Conditioning is all I have! I have no way to experience the
world apart from my conditioning. The world is my conditioning!
Neena: You would probably experience the fear, and as you said you
would have a different relationship with it.
Stephen: I do not care about birth or death.
Neena: It will probably kick in but you would not…
Stephen: I could care less. I feel like I am living a dream. My
whole life is a dream. Now I take it seriously—I pay the bills, I pay my
taxes, I go shopping for food. But I know this is all a fucking joke!
There is no independent existence. There is no independent Stephen
Wingate. Stephen Wingate is a fucking joke! A joke that I was programmed
and conditioned to believe in as who I am—I am not that! Stephen
Wingate is an experience that I was programmed and conditioned to
believe. We are all programmed and trained to believe that we are
limited, separate people. You know this in your own experience. That
separate person is not who I am.
There is no independent existence. Whatever created this earth that we
live on also created this body and all these bodies. The earth is alive.
These bodies have no independent existence. They do not have their own
life. They do not have their own thoughts. There is no one in there
thinking their own thoughts. There is no one in there who has her own
thoughts. The universe is expressing itself and thinking thoughts! You
are the universe!
Neena: I see that. And I think that fear thoughts would come if
somebody told me within this dream that I was going to die in three
weeks.
Stephen:
I am aware of everything that is happening and I do not care what is
happening. I do not care if there is fear, and I do not care if there is
acceptance. But I will tell you—I do not give a fuck. What difference
does it make? It makes no difference! There is no Stephen Wingate. The
universe is alive! The Universe is alive! This heart is
the universal heart—beating. There is no independent existence. When
this body dies, whatever makes this heart beat will make it beat in
another form. And when the earth is gone, a new planet will form and
express itself. I am Universal Life. What I am was not born in 1961.
Stephen Wingate was born in 1961. Not me. I do not give a fuck about
Stephen Wingate. I am Universal Life—infinite, eternal, universal life.
Six
billion years ago, there was no earth. These bodies are made up of
elements of the earth. Six billion years ago there was no earth, no sun,
no solar system—and yet here we are. Now, what is expressing itself?
What is thinking thoughts? What is feeling emotions? The universe! It is
alive! The universe is alive and I am that life! If I worry about this
one little expression of life, what a fucking joke! I am Universal Life!
Am I going to worry about Stephen Wingate? I am fucked! No, thank you!
For forty some-odd years there was nothing but Stephen Fucking Wingate!
It
sucks living like that! And it is a fucking joke! It is not even true!
There is no independent life. There is no independent existence. The
universe is alive—I am that life. It does not matter how or when this
body dies. What difference does it make? This body is as good as dead
already! How quick have forty years gone by? In the blink of an eye!
And another forty—gone! What happened? Nothing happened! Unless I sit
down with a piece of paper and write it out: "I am Stephen Wingate. I am
this. I am that." If I believe the story and write a whole book about
myself—that sucks! No, thank you! Finished! Be finished with yourself.
You are infinite eternal universal life—never born and will never die.
To worry about this little body is a pathetic and petty little nuisance.
Hartwell: So, if you get caught up, just enjoy the show, right?
Stephen: There is nobody getting caught up! It is not happening. I
know it is not happening. In the moment, you can say, "Oh, I feel like I
am getting caught up right now." In that moment, it feels like I am
getting really caught up. No, I am not! Thoughts and emotions are not an
accurate description of what is happening. If I take one series of
thoughts, emotions, sensations or experiences and say, "This is true. I
am getting caught up right now," I am screwed! When are you going to
get caught up? Reality is just THIS—here and now! You do not have time!
To say, "I am getting caught up," is a projection of mind looking into
the past and projecting into the future—it is all bullshit!
Just
NOW is the truth of what you are! You can leave alone your thoughts,
emotions, sensations and your perceptions of experience—because they are
bullshit! They are not an accurate representation of who you are or what
is happening. As soon as you say, "I am getting caught up," there you
go! As soon as you believe one thought about yourself, you are screwed.
The whole movement of mind is a dream—or it is all real. If you were
really getting caught up, you need to stop it! Stop getting caught up
all the time. Jesus! There I go again! What an asshole I am! Trying to
stop getting caught up is being caught up!
As
soon as you believe one thought, one description, you are screwed! This
is absolute freedom—absolute liberation. Nothing can limit you. NOTHING!
You cannot be defined. No thought can describe or define who you are. No
emotion, no story can describe or define who you are. Nothing! If you
believe one little thought and say, "This is true," you have built a
false, fucking foundation. "I am getting caught up!" There is your
foundation—built of dog shit! "I am getting caught up all the time. I
want to stop getting caught up so I can have cat shit!" Getting caught
up never happened! It never happened!
If
this mind believes, "Yes, I am getting caught up now," then it is
experienced. And then what happens when you get caught up? You have to
stop getting caught up! Now you are going to switch from dog shit to cat
shit! You still stink! You stink either way! Be free of the whole
fucking thing! Nothing, nothing can touch you! Nothing! No thought, no
emotion, no sensation, no experience. You are absolutely free already,
like this space. If this space says, "I can have no candles burning in
me or I am screwed," guess what? The space has to run and hide, "Ohhh,
they lit the candle, they lit the candle, they lit the candle! There is
smoke in here. No, oh God!" And when we blow out the candle the space
can say, "Ahh, now I am free! Now I am free!" And the next time we light
the candle— "Ahharghhhhh!"
The
space of this room is absolutely free and independent of all experience.
Experience is irrelevant. Light the candle, blow out the candle. Ten
people in this space, no people in this space—this space is absolutely
free. This is what I am, this space. This is what we are. If one thought
about yourself is believed to be real and true—you are screwed. You are
off into your own little dream world—off into a self-created nightmare!
Right now, there is nothing you can say about yourself that is true.
Nothing! "I got it. I haven't got it. I understand it intellectually,
but it is not my experience…" BULLSHIT! It is all bullshit! If you
believe one of those thoughts, you are screwed because then you are off
into an imaginary story. "It is not my experience. I understand it
intellectually, but it is not my experience…" If that is believed,
guess what you have to do? You have to make it your experience. How are
you going to do that? "Well, I can meditate and…" FOR WHAT? To change
dog shit into cat shit?! BE FREE OF ALL THAT SHIT!
Now,
no thought can describe the truth of who you are. No emotion can
describe the truth of who you are. No experience can describe the truth
of who you are—now what is left? Now tell me about yourself. Tell me
about your state. Tell me about your problem and your need of some
solution. Tell me!
The
thought arises: "I get it intellectually, but not experientially."
What?! That is meaningless blather! What to do with those thoughts?
[Motioning with the hands as if tossing the thoughts up in the air, and
then loading and firing a gun] Click-click—BOOM!
Done! And if tomorrow you say: "Oh! Now I get it experientially. I can
feeeel it." What to do with those thoughts? Click-click—BOOM!
Nothing!
No
thought, no emotion, no sensation, no experience can describe the truth
of who I am. "Oh, I am awakened now." Oh really? Click-click—BOOM!
No!
Nothing!
Chara: That cleans up a lot of stuff!
Hartwell: That is so funny.
Stephen: So now you want to help someone else to be free? How are
you going to do it? You tell them—you do not have any problems and you
do not need any solutions. And they will piss and moan and say, "No, I
have tons of problems…" All right—go solve them!
In
your daily experience and in a very practical way, as soon as you wake
up in the morning, if you are like me or most people, you wake up and
your mind starts chattering. I know for myself the mind starts going
pretty fast. I do not know if yours does, but my mind starts telling me
who I am and what I have to do. In the past, it used to be hell—because
I believed it!
You
can imagine the freedom when you know that your mind-stories are
bullshit! You wake up and the mind says, "You are an idiot. You are a
worthless asshole! And you are going to have a suck day." Really? That
is a funny one!
The
thoughts and emotions that are arising right now describing who you
are—they continue arising. Either you believe them or you do not. I do
not. I do not believe them. So, what do I need to change? Do I need to
change dog shit into cat shit?
What
I am, here and now, is this natural perfection. I cannot have a problem.
I am present and aware here and now. This is the fundamental truth. This
is our anchor to the truth—our anchor to reality.
Something is listening through these ears, shining through these eyes,
sensing through this body. Something is aware of hearing. Something is
aware of seeing. Something is aware of the energy of your body. You can
feel the energy of your body now. There is awareness of all that is
happening now. You can feel your body now. You can hear these words now.
There is this presence of awareness here now—and this is the fundamental
truth. It is always with you, as you. It is always with you, as you—no
matter what your mind is saying. No matter what your emotions are
saying. No matter what the sensations of your body are telling you, "No,
this is real. This is true. You need to take action" No—I do not. I AM
DONE!
Now
you can see, feel and understand—this is absolute liberation and
freedom—right now!
Jethro: I have to ask this question: So, you are walking down the
street and a truck is coming your way, and you are standing in the
middle of the road. It is all bullshit. But the truck is still coming.
You will still get out of the way. In that sense you believe the
thought, "The truck is coming." If you do not believe the thought, the
truck runs over you. So, how does that reconcile and fit with what you
have been saying?
Stephen: I am saying that everything is happening naturally and
spontaneously. There are natural responses that do not involve mental or
emotional interpretation at all. The biological organism responds
naturally. So, as the truck comes down the road toward me, there is no
need to say, "The truck is bullshit. I am bullshit. Nothing is
happening. It is all bullshit." I get out of the fucking way! This is a
natural biological response!
To
turn what I am saying into a philosophy and then try to run your life by
it is absurd. "Okay, if a truck is coming, hmm…should I say it is
bullshit? If I really believe it is bullshit, I will just let it hit me,
won’t I?" If a truck is driving toward you, or a tiger is coming your
way—you do not have to think, "Now, this non-dual philosophy…umm…I know
that all is one—the tiger is me and I am the tiger. So, should I let him
eat me?" You run!
If
you turn what I am saying into a philosophy, you are back into the
bullshit story again. Even non-dual philosophy is a bullshit story!
Non-dual analysis is not required to respond naturally in your daily
life. Everything is happening naturally and spontaneously. Everything is
on autopilot—even running out of the way of a truck.
Now,
for this to be your own experience in a very practical way in your daily
life, when thoughts and emotions arise—be aware and let them be. Just do
it! Put an end to the cycle of turning dog shit into cat shit. Let it
be—puts an end to that cycle. In the past the habit was to try to
manipulate, control and mould our unacceptable thoughts, emotions and
experiences into acceptable thoughts, emotions and experiences. That was
the old habit in the past.
Now,
in a very practical way, when thoughts, emotions and sensations arise in
you, a new habit can form. Rather than trying to mould dog shit into cat
shit, you can be aware and let everything be as it is. Now you know that
your thoughts, emotions, and sensations are not an accurate reflection
of the truth of who you are. They are not true. So, let them be. Now you
are no longer playing in the world of dog shit and cat shit. You are
free. You are beyond. Be aware and let it be. Now you know yourself as
this aware presence that is always free—always has been free and always
will be free.
And
the old habit dies—the old habit of trying to manipulate and control
thoughts, emotions, relationships, career and finances. Thoughts and
emotions continue to arise, but now you see them in a new light, and
from a new perspective. Now you know the truth of who you are. You are
free. Now you are free to play. Peace and well-being are unconditional.
Now you know yourself as being grounded in this peace and well-being
that you are. Unconditional peace and well-being are always with you, as
you—present and aware—like this space. Wherever you are, there is space
around you. This is the space of freedom that I am.
Now,
it becomes easier and easier to let thoughts, emotions and experiences
be as they are. It becomes easier and easier because you know that you
are unconditional love. You are unconditional peace and well-being. Now
you can play in the world of mind, emotions and sensations. It is all a
play. Your life has a smooth-flowing, easy, misty quality—a dream-like
quality.
Now
you are free to play in the dream—this lucid dream. Even when you are
experiencing this dream as if it is real, there is lightness in your
daily experience. You cannot take things seriously for long. Even as you
are taking it seriously you are laughing inside: "God damn it!" And
inside you are laughing!
