No need to fix anything, no need to alter your experience or attempt to alter your experience. Which is not possible, because everything which appears to you disappears instantaneously. It is known, meaning it is perceived, but it's not retained. Because from the perspective of freedom, from the perspective of consciousness, from the perspective of reality, there is no grasping, nothing lacking. Because there is nothing separate, in fact. Everything appears to you as a flow out of yourself and to yourself, you are the perceiver. As well as the conceiver. There is no limit to creativity, no limit to creation. There is no limit to reality. The reality of consciousness. This borderless creative awareness simultaneously creates and perceives without being moved by its creation, without being altered. You don't need to seek any experience. In this moment of being, there is no past or future. Presence is not a moment between the past and the future. That which has a beginning and an ending is an appearance. Within the stress and awareness, which has no beginning and no ending, forms and shapes appear to you with specific shapes and forms, details and colors, sounds. Everything that appears to you has distinct characteristics, which the mind can label and recognize. But you, this aware presence, has no particular shape or form or color. That which is real neither appears nor disappears. In the Hindu tradition we speak of discrimination, viveka. Warning against mistaking that which appears to be real and mistaking the reality which perceives and which is not perceived to be a concept, to be not real, to be less real. It's okay to be enamored with the world, to play in the garden, while knowing that the reality of the world is not in the world. The reality of that which is perceived is not in that which is perceived. Knowing that the reality of that which is perceived is not perceived, it is consciousness. We commonly refer to it as I, I, not a male or female form, but I, this transparent, invisible to the senses, aware presence. Not to attribute a separate reality to forms, not to attribute a separate reality to thoughts, memories, not to attribute a separate reality to what we refer to as feelings. And above all, to notice how we define I, the self, as a form, as a mortal form, as a person, as a body-mind. To attribute the reality of consciousness to a body-mind form, which is the original identification, the core identification. It is available to us to discern, to perceive, to understand. That identifying I, which is the reality which perceives right now, in any form, in any manner, is a falsehood. Christian scriptures speak about falling out of grace, identifying yourself in any form as a fallen out of grace. What goes hand in hand in the Hindu scriptures with Viveka is the concept of dispassion. To be in the world with a certain degree of dispassion. Just as a sadhana, as a expedient means in order not to fall into the trap of mesmerized, being mesmerized by forms. To enjoy the world with a certain degree of dispassion. It's just a practice, it's just a tool, a crutch of sorts. In particular to be dispassionate towards our own thoughts and feelings about each other, about ourselves. Not to give power to forms. Thoughts are a form, a supple form like any other form. To be malleable, to be playful, innocent, childlike with your thoughts and your opinions. Be light. Whenever you give reality to the body-mind, at the expense of consciousness, you will experience a sense of limitation, worry and concern, fears. Take a look at that.
