Fasten Your Seat Belt, You're Coming Home to Yourself
15-10-2017
There is a saying, 'I'm not seeing the world as it really is,
I am seeing the world as I am'.
If you are very much a person, then the world is full,
seven and half billion other persons full.
But if you are resting from the place of Being,
somehow you are acting, reacting, interacting with one Beingness.
Don't give it to the mind to try and understand that.
It is intuitively understood. It is not even a practice.
It is not that you are practising. You can't help it.
And so beautiful is the change
when you are responding to the Isness in each other.
Actually, we seem to speak so many languages among the sangha here,
but I say, our language is consciousness.
All the other languages, German, French ...
they are translations of consciousness.
Consciousness is what we are. It is our language.
It is our currency.
Love is our climate.
Just stay in the still place that you have discovered.
In the beginning, I say, Stay, because we have the impression that we go.
But gradually the effort of staying relaxes into an isness of Being.
Then the efforts to stay counteracting the belief that we can go,
they will get nullified. You are simply here.
It's not anymore 'you' and consciousness.
It's not 'you' and the Self. You are the Self.
So, when the attacks come, the doubts come, 'I'm not sure',
'For whom do they come?' should be your question.
The reflex is to go to the doubt, 'What is it about?
It's about this person. Don't trust them.'
So you are out there, in the crime scene,
but rarely looking at the perceiver,
rarely looking to see, 'Who am I?
Who thinks this thing? Who is the thinker of this thought?
Who is the believer of the thought? Are they the same?'
If these questions begin to happen in you,
already a lot of light is flooding into your life,
because it is going to expose all that is not true.
It cannot expose the true.
It can only reveal the true, but it will expose the untrue.
When it becomes your heart's dedication,
freedom and living in the true light of your Self,
this spring cleaning, house cleaning becomes a real joy.
It's not work!
Because each time something is exposed as not true,
then it cannot hide any more in you.
Like I say, It's like hiding behind a sheet of glass.
It is so exposed.
How did it go on for so long? Because it was undetected.
You even assume it's as though
this thing crept in and just moved along with you.
Gradually, it is merging with your whole idea about who you are.
And so it sits there nicely. When you get up, it gets up.
When you sit down, it sits down, undetected.
Gradually, by the power of Grace and your satsang,
these things are coming up and as soon as you begin to see them,
'Whoa!', fasten your seat belt, because it's going to be a bumpy ride.
Some people may think, 'Whoa! Things were better before.
It was better before.' No, it was not better before.
Now you are really coming into the fullness of your life,
because the false is now uncomfortable, it is exposed.
And not only because it is exposed,
as soon as you taste the fruit of your own Being, that taste,
all the taste that was coming through the ego-mind
becomes like stale food for you.
Before, 'Ah!' What a buffet!', from the ego.
But now, it is like,'Ugh! My God, no!'
You can't bear the environment of personhood after a while.
[Mooji] Is this a curse? [Voices in sangha] Yes! [laughter]
[Mooji] I will put the question again! [laughter]
Maybe your answer is right, I will see. [laughter]
If and when you cannot bear the environment of personhood anymore,
when you cannot bear it anymore, is that a curse?
[Sangha] No! [laughter] [Mooji] Thank God!
I thought I was in a wrong room for a minute, [laughter]
or you are just super honest! [laughter]
Then alone, we can bear the bumpy ride,
because you know you are winning yourself back. Isn't it?
[S.] Yes. [Mooji] Yes.
Before, we slipped into those garments, because everybody did it:
our parents did it, our friends did it, our cousins did it,
our companions did it - and nobody questioned it.
But now, in the exposing of that unreal, fraudulent side,
it is seen that somehow you find yourself, not by choice,
almost as though by some reflex, 'Puff', you are back in that old place.
And it is good to be there, so you realise,
'I don't want to be here. This is not who I am.'
This is a great beginning of freedom.
Because if the egoic identity is not acceptable,
then its life is on a countdown. It is like that.
Sometimes a few people feel a bit miserable,
but they are on their way up. They say, 'I can't', 'I don't want'.
Then, don't indulge.
Don't be trying to trade with the ego-mind.
There is an intolerance for that. There is nothing to talk about.
It will come with the best lollipop, 'You remember?'
'No! I don't want your lollipop.' [laughter]
Gradually, you are re-acquiring the taste for your higher nature.
And it can take some time,
because the egoic identity seems to dress up some old stuff, old ghosts,
it makes them look really pretty now.
Especially, when you feel ... Sometimes the feeling may come
that, actually, the ego side is slipping away
and some grief is coming. Grieving for the ego. [laughter]
There is a feeling ... You start to reminisce about the good old days
and all this kind of stuff.
You start to feel, 'Well, maybe it is moving too fast'.
No! Just let it go. Let it go.
No one that I know of, I have never heard of anyone
who has awakened to the Truth of themself and regretted it,
'Oh my God, I don't like this version of Truth.
Can I have my old life back?' Nobody.
Waking up to the truth of who we are
makes the ego identity unpalatable.
It's only if you keep indulging a little bit
with the ego's little tendencies,
then this short bridge that you will cross over starts to extend.
It seems to extend. Your life is on the bridge.
You don't want your life to be on the bridge.
So, this impatience with ego-mind is not bad.
Just don't be obsessive,
because then you start to pick up an identity of the impatient one.
Watch him! He hops about, he hops about.
He is a flea! He hops about very easily.
You give him a better position, he is in that better position.
It doesn't matter how subtle or complex the ego manifests.
Don't worry, because that which is in you is so transcendental to it.
Don't feel, 'Oh, I don't have the equipment. I don't know how.'
You made the choice, 'I choose freedom. I choose to be free.'
A little bit on from this, you will even feel the sense that
the choice between freedom and bondage becomes redundant.
[M.] Do you see that it can happen? [S.] Yes.
Because the Self is not free, and not bound.
That is still within the field of the conceptual spectrum,
about the Self feeling, 'Oh, I am so happy I am free'.
No! It is beyond that, beyond free, beyond bound.
It's the natural state.
