Hahaha! What a relief (and release). Very powerful for me. This moved me very much. I have NEW understanding.

Mooji's beautiful satsang and guided inquiry reminds me so much of Papaji's, Isaac Shapiro's and Gangaji's satsangs. It seems so hard to discern until somehow we manage to break through into recognizing that this nothing that we always find, and have always discounted, when we look for who or what we are is, in Truth, what we have been searching for.

In the Dzogchen tradition once our essential open cognizance has been pointed out to us, the practice is to return to the recognition in an uncontrived way for short moments again and again in the midst of our lives, allowing the temporary phenomena to be as it is, until our identity becomes stably established as this vast, open presence...

I spent years in satsangs, every chance I got. I watch videos and listen to audios. Little by little this is taking over my life and my spontaneous expression is clear and warm and helpful - again, not in a contrived or cultivated way but simply as the natural way this open awareness is.

If you want to shorten the time between your first glimpse and full-on 24/7 radiant clarity, I would highly recommend using every support you can to keep returning your attention to the recognition of your own wide-open clarity and allowing the phenomena - the sensations, emotions, thoughts, circumstances, etc. - to be as they are. This is, for most of us, more difficult initially with the afflictive "data" we've reified about ourselves and others, but perseverance furthers!

Congratulations, Gary. You have discovered within your being the solution in which all problems dissolve.

I am nobody :D hahaha :D, just be without any need to try to be... is a state of EASE

ease on easing easefulness

Thank You Lightwins. I've always had a little trouble with meditation. I've always (like everyone I suppose) talked to myself (I think I know now that this is my ego mind talking) and it is this same talker that has caused me great anxiety, either figuring out who I'm gonna be or stressing on who I'm not. Babtist background and an impatient, angry father, I always felt I needed to be doing something I wasn't, and whatever I was doing, was always approached from trying to achieve something in a hurried, unsure, unknowlegable manner. Dissappointment, ever predominant, always compensated for through any of many means of immediate gratification, has lead to a situation of almost relentless pressure to figure something better out and a rather bleek view of life on earth. It NEVER occured to me that I could ever be "Nobody". Hence, I had no real clue how to really be still, cause I never stopped talking. I thought who was talking was me. It's not. It's me (my "I gotta figure this out" ego) imaginning me. There was always something I was not or something I was gonna be. Telling my ego to be nobody, let me see or concieve and understand where and what the real me is. An interesting thing is how my ego has willingingly taken a back seat after being told "be nobody". The struggle to be quite and be still and empty, is gone. I could go on forever here but, I don't have to anymore. Lol

Yes, that's exactly what it did for me. An EASE just flooded over me and I laughed, then I cried. I am so grateful and absolutely relieved to release so much struggle.

On rare occassions, someone gets their first glimpse of the vast open clear space of their own being, recognizes it as just that and thereafter lives from that openness and ease of being. I just know that for myself and for most people I have witnessed in an awakening process, the initial glimpses dramatically open up the recognition of the reality and then the polarizing patterns of our old, conditioned mind re-assert themselves into the foreground of our experience, once again eclipsing the underlying reality.

For me, this is where the ongoing practice of short moments is essentially useful. Simply, briefly noticing the awareness in which the reaction, judgement, reification has occurred while allowing the reaction, etc. to be as it is, allows the old pattern to resolve and pass and reinforces my commitment to the truth of my being.

Perhaps, you will find this useful, as well.

"As it is", you are so dead on. I'm finding myself now and for the first time, able to seriously approach opening that line of (as you call them) "short moments", or "communication". It is because now, I see where it takes place. It's quiet there. Nobody talks either. No one points. All you do there is see and that's it. I don't mean a visual either, maybe goes without saying. Duality lost it's splitting point so there is only right and nothing is wrong. I did laugh there and I also cried. Joy was the catilyst for both. I've been conveying and/or fussing or, negotiating, etc. with someone that doesn't even exist, a NOBODY. Wondering how we were ever gonna be all I could be. Hahaha I've been trying to get me to shut up for forever. Cute, huh? Lol. Sweeeeeet!

Yes and the realization brought with it and showed or unveiled, Love. Powerful, I couldn't stop laughing for a second. Then the beautiful tears. Yes, I say only, Yes.

I deeply appreciate what is happening now as the one you are.

And that appreciation is seen, accepted and passed on. I think something just expanded. Thank you :>

I don't believe I have ever recognized being party to that before. A genuinely new experiance and awareness.

Yes, yes, yes...

Nothing more to say.

What an awesome beautiful presence and he does bring that openness and mind-stopping presence like Gangaji. And behind him is a picture of Papaji, Gangaji's teacher, and behind them both, the presence of Ramana Maharshi.

I have been asking to have my heart opened, and I find myself watching several other of his satsangs and just some opening.

A huge blessing. Thank you!!!!
