[Mooji:] Stay as the awareness itself.

Unresolved
There's a feeling of going out,
sorting the problem, going out,
live a normal life.
One appeal. Second appeal,
'Now I've started meditation, I sense I can go deeper in,
deeper into something.' OK? Now I point,
But there is you
or there's that which is watching both appeals.
OK? Then when I ask you about that,
you say now, that that just feels like, say again,
[Questioner:] Unresolved. [M:] Something unresolved.
OK? Now, let's come to unresolved.
Let's leave the two thing again.
Look, unresolved, because unresolved is
itself a thought that is troubling you now.
That if I don't choose one of these,
if I don't go one of these directions,
what is left, is
I just feel something is unresolved.
And maybe just that thought is enough to put you off.
Just that thought has put you...
OK don't check any further about what's in between both,
because that's just feeling of unresolved.
And I'm telling you, pick up that feeling
of unresolveness again
and look at it just as a feeling.
You're still the one who is aware of that feeling.
Stay with it. Stay with. Don't give up so easy.
Too easy we're dropping the wrong thing.
Let it just be a feeling. It's just a feeling.
You are the awareness in which that feeling has come.
Pay attention only to yourself.
But don't create any pictures about yourself.
Do it now everybody, join in, this one you can do.
Then you tell me what you see,
what you discover now.
Sometimes when you are just about
recognizing the only thing worth recognizing,
the biggest noise comes.
The biggest noise comes, it's like something said,
'No, you don't deserve to get that so easy.'
So a lot of noise, a lot of distractions
and things coming up but still
you are here to witness the feeling of distraction.
Don't go with anything.
Nothing's happening to you.
You're not a person defending anything,
that's just another idea.
I wonder if you follow.
Sometimes you have to bear your own consciousness,
because it wants to pick up something,
it wants to pick up something
because of its association with the
bodymind, it's used to picking up something,
associating with something.
So just be by yourself for a moment,
it can feel like the most difficult thing to do
but that itself is only a thought.
Who's gonna come home now in this space?
If you're gonna be put off by this now,
then you just double your journey,
you have much longer way to walk.
Life presents you with two options, let's say,
to do this, to go in the world and to make a success
of the life and be like other people,
be accepted - whatever your projection is about that;
or something is calling you
to just kinda come more into a more meditative life,
to give a bit more attention to your inner being;
there seems to be these two.
And for a while
this is the two living attractions for you.
Then now you're being aware
but you are neither of them.
Now you're being aware, I'm neither of them.
And a choice need not be made.
I am neither, I simply am!
And through whatever it is,
the attention goes to these choices, you see.
So the movement is pulling to one of these directions.
This is OK. Now you're aware that both of these are directions,
what is that which is aware of the directions?
Then that is - it's like looking in a mirror
and you're right here again.
But as soon as you are just here again,
not holding the hand of anything,
the mind or the body, not holding, what happens,
a feeling of 'This is not enough,
this is not enough. Unresolved.'
And quickly you the consciousness is buying that thought.
'Yeah, maybe.' The thought come,
mind comes as a thought, you know,
'Yes, but this is not it,
this doesn't feel like enlightenment.'
And quickly, 'Yes, this doesn't feel like enlightenment.'
And boom you're gone.
Yet it's just a thought. A thought comes,
'Yeah, that's not the big hit, is it?'
So it's just a thought,
and I'm asking you
to just see that for what it is.
It's just a thought.
Next...
What's the next thought?
'Oh, you're not gonna get it so easy
and you know, it's like...'
Anyway, what was the first thing again?'
And you're off again, swinging on the tree.
I'm trying to point you to something, please.
If you catch it, and you will, you have to,
put end to your trouble today.
Find out your true place, your true position.
You're imagining you're something else,
somewhere else, starting at different point,
and you are that which does not need to start.
You're just the pure Being.
Zilch. Nothing.
