Welcome, all you guys. I’m Michael Taft, as all the time—a minimum of as intermittently, and that is Deconstructing Your self, and we’ll do an hour of meditation adopted by a bunch of different stuff. Most of you’ve heard me say all of it earlier than. So, I’ll simply say we’re going to take a seat. Okay, let’s do the factor. So, let’s do our alternate factor that we did final week once more, proper? As a substitute of stretching and yawning and we’re going to only do bodily stuff, you do no matter you need bodily. Your physique is your physique. Do what works for you.
[guided movement]
Okay. So, let’s begin out by simply sitting there, and ask your self the query, what’s it wish to be me proper now? After which as a substitute of answering from pondering, truly assume you don’t know what it’s wish to be you proper now, and test in. What’s it wish to be you proper now? What’s it wish to be me proper now? You would possibly wish to really feel your bodily physique to see how that’s doing. And once more, it’s not like the reply is nice or dangerous. Simply test it out. What’s it really feel like? There may be some emotional stuff occurring. So we are able to test into our emotional our bodies, so to talk, simply what’s occurring emotionally? And once more, that’s not about concepts. That’s about emotions in our physique. What feelings are we feeling in our physique? The physique contains your head.
So we’re checking into our bodily physique. We’re checking into our emotional physique, checking into your psychological physique. How’s your mind doing? How’s your thoughts doing? Once more, it’s not like—oh, it’s doing horrible, or it’s doing good. It’s like, test it out. And the trick right here is, nonetheless any of that is doing, nonetheless your physique is doing, nonetheless your thoughts is doing, nonetheless your feelings are doing, simply let or not it’s that method. Let’s simply have a second the place we don’t attempt to change it. We don’t attempt to management it. We don’t attempt to choose it. We don’t attempt to enhance it. We don’t attempt to max it in any explicit method. We simply let or not it’s what it’s.
After which from there, let’s put aside our pondering minds. So, we’re simply not going to have interaction with thought. Ideas are nonetheless occurring—most likely ideas are nonetheless chugging alongside. They’re doing the issues they do, however we’re simply setting it apart and never getting caught up in it. And so I like to do that precise gesture such as you take your ideas—prefer it’s a shoe field, or extra like a radio, an outdated time radio—and also you simply set them over right here.
Okay. Simply actually, bodily, nobody’s following me right here. Take your palms like this and transfer. Take your field of ideas over right here and set it down. Good. And now we’re again right here. The ideas are over there pondering—positive. Okay. Don’t should mess with it. Don’t should mess with it.
Now, with the remainder of expertise, merely come into presence—straightforward to do for those who’re not messing round with the field of ideas. And so, for those who come out of presence, you begin getting concerned in pondering once more, simply set them apart, and are available again to easy, pure, straightforward presence. Even a toddler can do it. Even a cat or canine can do it. Simply come into presence. And so let’s simply do that collectively for a couple of minutes.
Merely returning to presence time and again. It’s easy. It’s pure. It’s straightforward. That’s not an enormous meditation approach. We’re simply not partaking with the pondering thoughts and coming again to easily sitting right here. Not attempting to get anyplace, not attempting to do something, not attempting to get all concentrated, not attempting to transcend, not attempting to scrub. Simply being awake and current with out partaking with thought. Let’s do this collectively.
Discover that you just would possibly get caught up once more within the field of ideas that we put aside. It’s fairly regular, fairly pure. Don’t fear about it. Simply set them apart once more. Come again to only being current. In case you actually, actually, actually need one thing to concentrate on, you’ll be able to discover your breath in a really relaxed method as a result of that may aid you be current. However actually, all of expertise helps you be current. You may really feel your butt on the cushion. You may really feel your palms in your thighs or wherever they’re at. You may really feel the slight motion of the air in your flesh. You may hear the room round you. You may see the sound, the sights and lights of the room round you. You may really feel your heartbeat. You may really feel the aliveness in your physique. All this stuff and plenty of, many, many others.
However it’s not like it’s a must to make it right into a process—doesn’t should be quite a lot of work. We’re simply hanging out in presence. In case you discover that your ideas are further clingy, further velcro-y, or sticky, you would possibly end up getting in sort of a battle with them. Don’t do this. In probably the most relaxed method, simply set them apart. Come again to being current. No judgment, no drawback. Simply set them apart. Come again to being current. We’re not attempting to gradual pondering down, or cease pondering, or do something in any respect with pondering—besides ignore it.
When you’re not concerned, being current is straightforward and pure—and it’s what you get without spending a dime. Your consciousness is on—and right here it’s. Simply maintain returning to easily being current. Proper? It’s very, very straightforward. It’s very relaxed. Discover how open it’s. Very open, very spacious. We’re not caught down contained in the little theater of the thoughts. We’re current in area.
Good. Now, let’s stay uninvolved with thought. Stay merely current—and with out including something further, see if we are able to launch some voluntary stress. So, launch any stress in your scalp and your face, your eyebrows, your cheeks, your lips, your jaw. Proper? It doesn’t imply stretch it. We’re not entering into stretching right here. Simply, if there’s any stress in your face, simply let it go. Enable your higher and decrease tooth to not contact. So your jaw isn’t clenched.
Let’s do the eyelid factor. The eyelid factor is—even for those who usually meditate together with your eyes open, simply shut them for a minute, and let your eyelids be so relaxed—all of the little tiny muscle tissue throughout your eyes so relaxed that you could’t probably open your eyes, as a result of to open them you’d should tense them up. So let your eyelids be so relaxed and all of the little muscle tissue are so relaxed that you could’t open them since you’d should tense them. After which strive as laborious as you’ll be able to to open them with out tensing something. After which simply really feel that sense slightly added sense of ease and peace and leisure in your face and head. Proper? Simply there was some sort of stress that we weren’t noticing that we simply launched.
After which let’s do the identical factor in our neck and throat and shoulders. If there’s any stress there that’s voluntary, that you could, simply by keen it—not stretching, not attempting to maneuver—simply by keen it, loosen up. Simply let it loosen up. Simply staying current. However, staying current notably in relaxed sensations within the physique.
After which discover leisure coming into your arms and palms. Feeling your arms and palms and fingers, simply releasing and enjoyable and letting go. Turning into like moist rags. Zero stress. You would possibly even really feel your fingers and palms heating up, as a result of as you loosen up the stress, there’s extra blood move. And simply really feel how good it feels to have this added stress launched, to have this further tightness and constriction let go, in order that there’s extra openness, extra ease, extra fluidity, more room.
And identical to we did with our eyelids—by the best way, if you wish to meditate together with your eyes open, it’s okay to reopen your eyes. Identical to we did with the eyelids, let’s do the identical factor with our arms and palms. So, we make our arms and palms as relaxed as they’re once we’re asleep. They’re simply actually completely limp. Simply limp. And when you get them tremendous limp with out tightening any muscle, even barely in your arms and palms, strive as laborious as you’ll be able to to maneuver them. Actually attempt to transfer them with none stress. After which simply let that go, and really feel that further little little bit of leisure, and peace, and ease, coming into the physique. An actual deep stillness that’s not tense however reasonably stillness by means of leisure.
Good. After which to no matter extent doable, let go of any voluntary stress in your torso, in your chest, or in your again, in your diaphragm. And naturally, most of us maintain our stomach actual tight. So to no matter extent doable, simply let your stomach be free and open and simply flop out. So, we’re not retaining that tight. And really feel how good that feels to have the entire physique from the top all the best way all the way down to the stomach simply properly relaxed and open and at relaxation.
Once more, persevering with to stay uninvolved with thought. We’re simply current in physique sensation. After which from right here, let your hips launch and loosen up and let go—and your thighs and your knees and your calves and your ankles and your toes and your toes. In order that your legs and toes are completely at relaxation, completely relaxed, completely at peace.
Now once more let’s do the entire thing with our entire physique. We’ve acquired our physique so relaxed—our arms, our legs, our face. The entire thing is so relaxed that we—with out tensing any muscle tissue in any respect—attempt to transfer your physique with out tensing any muscle in any respect. Attempt to transfer your physique. Don’t transfer your palms in any respect. Don’t transfer your toes. Don’t wiggle. No stress. Attempt to transfer as laborious as you’ll be able to.
Good. After which simply let go of that, and tune in once more to the general sensation of the physique. How does that really feel? Be current with that, outdoors of thought. Tuning into this ease and openness and peace and relaxation within the physique. Feeling the wave of the breath coming and going. The wave of the breath rising and falling. And in a really open, relaxed, straightforward method, simply keep current within the physique. Feeling the breath wave transferring within the physique. Feeling no matter else you are feeling. Possibly you’ll be able to really feel locations which can be cold and warm. Possibly you are feeling your heartbeat. Possibly you are feeling varied gurgling in your stomach, varied actions in your guts, tingling or twitching right here and there. Possibly some issues really feel very nice. Possibly some issues are painful or uncomfortable. Simply keep current with all these sensations as a Gestalt—only one discipline of sensation arising inside presence.
The physique is right here. The physique sensations are current in consciousness. So let the physique be the presence, remaining unengaged with thought, and the physique sensation being current. Simply stay clear and brilliant and awake. Keep in mind there’s nothing to do. You simply stay clear and brilliant and awake. Naturally current. Naturally aware. And chances are you’ll begin to really feel slightly extra deeply, slightly extra globally. Discover how your physique isn’t only a entrance, it’s a again. Really feel that your physique isn’t only a entrance and a again. It has a proper aspect and a left aspect. Really feel that. Your physique isn’t simply 4 sides. There’s higher surfaces and decrease surfaces, like a prime and a backside. Really feel that. And it’s not simply surfaces. It’s that quantity has thickness. So really feel the within of the physique. Simply tune into all this body-level sensation. whereas remaining uninvolved with thought. Remaining brilliant. Remaining clear. Remaining current. Current within the room. Current within the physique. Current in awakeness. Uninvolved with thought.
Good. Now, chances are you’ll start to note with all this presence within the physique, that though we’re very nonetheless in a single sense, the physique isn’t truly nonetheless. There’s micro changes of your backbone. There’s little actions right here and there of your face or your limbs. There’s the heartbeat. There’s the center doing their factor. There’s the diaphragm going up and down. There’s all the time movement—you might be alive. However it goes even additional than that. Chances are you’ll really feel fairly a little bit of tingling or buzziness or wave-like emotions of aliveness within the physique notably the mouth, the palms, the toes. There may be quite a lot of power sort sensations.
Additionally, the felt sense of the contour of the physique is shifting, shifting, shifting. And the extra we tune in, the extra it appears to swell right here and contract there and bulge one other place and collapse one other place—sort of like in these amoeba-like actions, the place the entire form of the physique feels prefer it’s constantly shifting and transferring and altering. And that the contour of the physique turns into a lot tougher to seek out in a secure method. It’s constantly altering. It’s constantly shifting. It might develop larger or smaller. And particularly if there’s quite a lot of buzziness and tingliness, the contour of the physique will begin to really feel permeable—like entire areas of the physique are permeable—vast open.
And all alongside, I’ve stated stay uninvolved with thought. And most of the people take that to imply verbal thought. However I additionally need you now to stay uninvolved with visible thought, so that every one the photographs you’ve in your head, of your physique, or your posture, or the association of your limbs—any psychological footage in any respect concerning the physique. They’ll nonetheless be there, however you’re simply not partaking. And keep current within the physique with out partaking these psychological footage. They’ll nonetheless be there, however you’re simply not partaking. Not partaking.
Most of us suppose these footage are the physique, however they’re psychological constructions. They’re imaginary photos of the physique. And once we disengage from these, you’ll discover that the openness, and changeability, and variability, and buzziness, and motion high quality of the physique actually begins to shine, as a result of typically we use these photos to sort of fixate the physique. However once we disengage from these photos, the physique turns into unfixated. The physique turns into not an object. The physique turns into a bunch of flowing sensation and awakeness that’s not being stuffed into psychological bins.
Every time you end up placing your self again in a psychological field, simply loosen up and drop out of the field. Come again to only easy presence the place the physique is sort of a flowing cloud of little buzzy tingly sensations in an enormous open sky of awakeness. By no means congealing into something specifically. By no means crystallizing into some sort of lump, however reasonably transferring, vibrating, flowing, tingling, buzzing, increasing, contracting, constantly altering, constantly vast open, constantly shining in awakeness.
The awakeness isn’t coming from the physique. The physique is a move of sensation arising inside awakeness—a move of sensation simply transferring by means of huge open awakeness. The awakeness is what’s secure. The awakeness—this huge openness—is what is obvious. That’s the place we’re coming from. The awakeness. The physique is a wonderful flag within the breeze inside that sky of awakeness. It’s merely an look that doesn’t confine us or outline us in any method. It’s only a lovely expression of the awakeness, constantly recent—completely, primordially pure, and new in each second.
Once more, we’re not imagining that, we’re noticing that. And as you discover the physique like this—constantly altering, constantly transferring look inside awakeness. Awakeness, consciousness—not coming from the physique, however the physique coming from awakeness. The physique showing inside awakeness identical to the room is showing. The physique sensations are showing.
Start to note the room in there, the spaciousness. Discover straight—with out creativeness— the uncontained, unconstricted vastness of physique sensation. It’s not slightly sack that we’re caught inside. It’s completely open, unbounded. There’s as a lot room inside as outdoors. And simply really feel that super openness with out straining, with out attempting to think about it. Simply really feel it. It’s proper there. After we let go of psychological footage of the physique, it’s huge, it’s boundaryless, it’s free.
Good. Now, hear the sounds of the room round you, and see how they go by means of the physique with out encountering any resistance. The physique doesn’t cease the sound in any method. The physique is completely clear, vast open, uncontained, boundaryless. The sound passes proper by means of it. The internal area and the outer area are one area, one open sky, one free expanse.
And in case your eyes are open, simply permit them to have a really gentle gaze, and permit the sides of imaginative and prescient to be as clear as the middle of imaginative and prescient, the sides of imaginative and prescient as vital as the middle of imaginative and prescient. So that you just’re spreading awakeness in imaginative and prescient throughout the whole discipline without delay. And simply discover how outdoors area and the within area are one area. There’s no boundary there inside and outside our one area somatically, auditorially, visually. One large area that’s awake. Completely clear and brilliant and luminous and lucid, with all types of sensations arising inside it—sound sensations, gentle sensations, bodily sensations. None of them touchdown anyplace, or getting caught anyplace, or crystallizing anyplace, or clumping anyplace, or binding, or sticking—it’s simply vast open. Nothing crystallizing —every part fluid and spacious and open.
Good. After which, discover how, with the room arising within the area of consciousness and the physique arising within the area of consciousness as sensations, simply as constantly arising and passing sensations in awakeness, that the thought of your self can also be just a few sensations within the physique, feelings within the physique, ideas pinging round, some psychological photos of location. However none of it’s ever touchdown. None of it’s ever crystallizing, or lumping, or turning into something. There’s simply awakeness and all the gorgeous look that arises in awakeness. Awakeness offers start to the physique. Awakeness offers start to the world after which absorbs it again into itself once more. And awakeness within the physique, and awakeness within the sense of self, and awakeness on the planet, are by no means, ever, ever, separate.
Really feel the clear, brilliant, spontaneous, joyous, awakeness of all of it. By no means congealing down into any explicit factor, and but constantly, joyously changing into every part. By no means making a factor out of something. Discover how there’s no flooring. There’s no floor. There’s nowhere to land. It’s all simply look in area. Then again, we’re the area and the looks. So there’s no risk of hurt—utterly free, and but completely full. By no means congealing into something and but changing into every part—shining brilliant and clear, pure and spontaneous. There’s zero effort. And spot how the vastness of awakeness is a lot bigger than the world. The vastness of awakeness is bigger than the universe.
Good. Let’s simply—remaining vast open, unfixated, uncrystallized—simply permit the sound, “ah” to come back out. We’ll chant the “ah” for some time collectively. We don’t have to suppose to do that. We don’t have to carry out. You don’t want to fret in any respect. Keep outdoors the pondering thoughts. Enable the awakeness, the openness, the luminosity, the readability, to only manifest a brilliant shining “ah”
[chanting]
Okay, let’s finish that there.
Noticing that nothing truly adjustments. The awakeness remains to be awake. The spaciousness remains to be spacious. The freely flowing spontaneous look remains to be freely flowing and spontaneous. We’re not in some sort of particular altered state. We’re simply noticing the best way issues are. You may simply keep current. We didn’t go into, you realize, jhanic model absorption. We’re simply current. We’re simply noticing what’s right here. So though we ended the meditation, nothing actually ends. We don’t snap out of our trance and attempt to deal, proper? We’re nonetheless utterly current. We’re simply seeing issues as they’re. And what I wish to invite you to do is, then, simply maintain doing that—as a result of it’s not laborious. It’s not prefer it takes an enormous effort. You simply maintain noticing. After which if you discover you’ve stopped noticing, come again to noticing. And each single time you discover that you just cease noticing, simply acknowledge that you just’re noticing once more now. And simply maintain doing that. And simply maintain doing that.
That’s the plan. Keep current, keep awake, and acknowledge what’s occurring. That’s it. It’s not that we are able to’t go additional than that, however to constantly come again time and again. Merely to stay noticing that you just’re noticing, awake to your awakeness. Merely to do this—and to do it rather a lot—to come back again time and again. Every time you develop into misplaced, simply come again. Every time you go down the rabbit gap, simply come again. Regardless of how far down the rabbit gap you’ve gotten, coming again—it’s excellent there. That’s the true mindfulness, proper? Remembering that mindfulness actually is a translation of a phrase that additionally means one other factor, which is remembering. We simply bear in mind to acknowledge, every time we put our thoughts in a field, every time we put our physique in a field, every time we put our companion in a field, every time we put the world in a field, simply discover that you just did that, and are available again to recognizing. Come again to only being current and awake.
Each time you end up in a field—which, by the best way, you’re the one placing your self within the field. Every time you discover you probably did that, drop out of the field. After which simply do this, and do this, and do this, and do this. And ultimately, you don’t put your self in a field anymore. And also you’re simply awake and current. It’s not sophisticated. It’s not straightforward, but it surely’s not sophisticated. And it’s not even actually that tough. It simply requires slightly little bit of perseverance, as a result of the behavior of going asleep is actually sturdy. The behavior of getting misplaced within the rabbit gap is actually sturdy. However the minute you get used to what it feels wish to be just a bit bit current—it doesn’t should be tremendous current, some sort of deep whole cosmic current—simply current. As you get used to what that appears like, it’s simpler and simpler to only come again to it, and are available again to it, and are available again to it, and are available again to it. Oh, are you current?
So, right here’s my query. Are you current? And simply test, cuz the checking makes you current, and then you definitely’re achieved. And then, for those who discover that you just acquired unpresent once more, now you’re current. And simply maintain doing that. Simply maintain doing that.
The largest lure there’s to think about that you’re nonetheless in a the common field of the world, within the field of your physique, within the field of your head, within the field of your thoughts, and that you just’re coming again to love slightly garrett in a sort of brick constructing that’s sort of darkish and dismal and manufactured from heavy stuff, proper? So, there’s a method that you need to use that kind of mindfulness that coming again is sort of like placing you in additional bins and simply coming again to your imaginative and prescient of confinement. It’s utterly imaginary, however it’s a sturdy creativeness. And so, as a substitute, we’re coming again to recognizing that presence is outdoors any bins. That this entire expertise is arising in awakeness, and that the entire feeling of a physique is arising in awakeness, not the opposite method round.
And so to come back again is to open up, to not reawaken in your jail. There is no such thing as a jail, you realize, when simply dropping the field drops the bars to the cell. So, maintain coming again, maintain coming again, maintain coming again, maintain coming again. And for those who do this sufficient, you’ll begin to discover one thing actually bizarre, which is—you’re truly by no means not again. You simply kind of acquired distracted from it, however you had been all the time there. And which may appear apparent as an idea, however as an expertise, it’s bizarre, since you notice that, even happening the rabbit gap, even getting misplaced, even getting sucked into what we consider as distraction, is going on in whole awakeness. And so what’s occurring there, if you begin to acknowledge that—and this isn’t prescriptive, I’m not saying do that—I’m saying it will begin to occur by itself, the place you’re like, “oh, I’m by no means not there.” Then, what’s actually occurred is you’ve switched out of imagining you’re the thoughts itself. You switched out of imagining that you’re only a bodily being. You switched out imagining that you’re a robotic on a rock, and as a substitute you’ve began to acknowledge you’re truly awakeness itself during which all that is showing, and that’s, a minimum of partially, coming to knowledge. Proper? You’re beginning to see issues as they are surely.
Okay. So, that’s what I’m going to say about that. Please be happy to share your expertise or ask questions.
Questioner 1: Hey.
MT: Hello, Have been you having a tough time?
Q1: Oh, I’m all the time having a tough time.
MT: Okay. So, no.
Q1: Comparatively talking, however to the purpose of, let’s say, the conditioning to get misplaced, and let’s say if I wish to situation within the different course, do you’ve a thought concerning the utility of lengthy sits like this, versus like many quick sits?
MT: Are you aware learn how to end up?
Q1: I’d say not very nicely.
MT: Then do numerous quick ones. I imply, right here we’re doing greater than that. I’m getting you into it in order that it turns into simpler. However, if, by yourself, that’s laborious, I don’t advocate sitting there hour after hour sort of not getting it. It’s higher to say, “oh, that is what it’s to be current.” Try this for a couple of minutes, after which do one thing else, after which do it once more, after which do one thing else, and do it once more. So, it nonetheless provides as much as an hour, however you’re not spending 57 minutes mentally rearranging your enjoying playing cards or one thing.
Q1: Okay, thanks
MT: Different stuff? Once more, it doesn’t should be a query. You may simply discuss.
Q2: So if every part is simply occurring on this awakeness, is there such a factor? And if sure, what’s its position? Corresponding to a free will. Is there a free will?
MT: It’s an attention-grabbing query. I imply, the query of free will is a Christian factor, that comes from what you may be judged on. And so, there’s this entire Christian idea that we’re coming from, truly, once we ask about free will. Identical to the entire concept of the materialistic universe, in a sure sense, is the thought of God’s creation that’s simply sitting there. We’re nonetheless—within the West—caught in an entire Christian mindset. Not that there’s something improper with that, however we have to acknowledge it. So the query is already coming from faith actually. And so I simply wish to acknowledge that, and transfer out of that for a second, and say, who’s it that has this free will? And for those who imply the sock puppet entity, it most likely doesn’t have that sort of freedom, however that’s simply an look anyway. Whereas the factor we truly are, the awakeness during which the entire universe arises, is completely spontaneous, completely free, completely making every part occur. Are you able to name that free will? I imply, sort of not. So, I’d simply say, don’t search for it within the regular method we imply that phrase.
Q2: I assume in a nondual world, particular person free will is sort of—doesn’t make a lot of a spot.
MT: Effectively, however even there all individuality is the spontaneous expression of the entire of the universe, and if the entire of the universe is free, even all that particular person expression is free, however not individually. So, that’s what I imply. Okay. Now, do I do know this for a truth from my very own expertise? Not as a truth. However, that’s how it’s normally taught. However I’ll say the deeper you’re employed with this, the extra time you spend in recognition, it turns into sort of obvious that the best way we even take into consideration who it’s that’s having no matter we’re having could be very odd, and that one thing completely completely different than that is occurring. And it’s completely spontaneous, and completely free, and but, not within the regular method we’d think about it. Okay?
Q3: Hello. So consciousness is sort of straightforward to understand.
MT: Is it? Good.
Q3: Roughly, as a result of it’s simply sort of passive, so it’s identical to perceiving like seeing, however greater than seeing like observing or like watching, however what’s the mechanism of motion?
MT: Effectively, you made an enormous assumption there by saying consciousness is passive.
Q3: Sort of, isn’t the definition of consciousness like perceiving, like understanding.
MT: I imply, it simply is dependent upon who’s defining it. So, I’m going to say understanding. As I discussed an entire bunch of occasions, all of that is the expression of the awakeness. I by no means stated, Oh, the attention is simply perceiving all this. It’s making this. It’s gestating this and giving start to this constantly. It couldn’t be extra lively. That entire concept that it’s merely some sort of like placid observer, is simply improper so far as I’m involved. That’s how—it’s tremendously energized. It’s tremendously inventive. It’s excited. It’s joyous. It’s spontaneous. It’s free. Proper? And so, though you will discover stillness there, and you will discover peace, and all that, that’s only one high quality. There’s all these different qualities. Okay, does that make sense to you? You don’t should imagine me or bow. I imply—you requested my opinion.
Q3: Okay. Yeah.
MT: There’s quite a lot of power, sufficient power to make a universe.
Q3: Yeah.
This autumn: Only a associated remark. You had been saying that it’s all simply look, however look is doing quite a lot of work, as a result of it’s whose look, proper?
MT: Yeah. Proper No, it’s true. And a part of it’s simply attempting to explain, and yeah.
Superb. Okay. Thanks everyone. Thanks in your questions and feedback. Let’s meditate just a bit bit extra, remembering that every one we’re doing is simply coming again into pure presence time and again. No want to consider something. No have to make something up. No have to think about something. No want to enter some sort of absorption. Simply return to wakefulness.
[silent sitting]
Okay, thanks everyone. Bye-bye.
