Reality is not threatened by the world body mind (Magdi 12-22-2022)

The speaker welcomes everyone to the meeting and suggests starting with a guided meditation. They encourage listeners to focus inward and recognize their own presence. They explain that this presence is beyond the limitations of the mind and cannot be described or understood through concepts. Love, beauty, and happiness also do not need description. The speaker emphasizes that the reality of our experience is consciousness and that we are connected to the universe. They highlight the importance of being present and not getting caught up in the mind's concepts of time and space. The speaker encourages listeners to relax and be open to whatever sensations arise without resistance or attachment to goals. Welcome, lovely to see you, Chris and Olga, David and David, Carol, George and Heidi, Desmond maybe. So, just a couple of words that we'll be starting this meeting with a brief guided meditation and then we'll follow up with any questions or any discussion. So, sit comfortably and turn your attention inward by welcoming your experience. Open arms, relax, nothing to do. Contemplate that you are this aware presence. Effortless presence. And that as this presence there are no concerns, no objectives, nothing to try to attain. That presence is peace. Your reality. The reality of the universe. You are not a wave on the surface of the ocean. You are not the body-mind which you perceive. That which you are, the reality which hears these words. Cannot be known by the mind. Since the mind is limited. But you don't need to know yourself via the mind. Because you already are that which you are. And that which you are cannot be said to be limited. Cannot be said to be this or that. That which you are cannot be described via any limited body-mind instrument, via thought, via concepts, via feelings. And that's perfectly fine. There is no way to describe love or beauty or happiness. There's no need to describe love, beauty or happiness. It speaks for itself. Love speaks for itself. Freedom speaks for itself. That which you are does not need description. That which is beyond description is beyond limitation. Which is this aware presence right now. Unopposed. No opposition to that which is non-phenomenal. You know you are just by asking yourself in this moment the question, am I? The resounding answer is yes, I am. This I am has no qualificative, no shape, color, size, smell, taste. And yet this am-ness is undeniable. So we can soak into this am-ness. I am and I know that I am. Simply soak into that. Without adding any story. Without adding any memory. Without adding any color or shape. Simply I am and I know that I am. To be not knowing. Not knowing what I am. But knowing that I am. Because am-ness is only possible via knowingness. And knowingness is only possible via am-ness. Am-ness. Am-ness. The reality of your experience is consciousness. Your reality. Infinite, invisible. Aware presence. Reality is one. Non-dual. Your body and the universe are one. Your mind and the universe are one. You are this universal knowingness. There is only one knowingness. Many appearances. Many colors, shapes and shades. Like the rainbow and the white light. The white light contains all the colors. Every shade of color is made out of the white light. Its essence is the white light. Similarly all your perceptions, sensations are made out of one reality. Awareness. Consciousness. Appearances appear to you and they disappear within you to you. But you don't appear and disappear. You don't exist in time. Time appears to you. Nothing happens to reality. In the phenomenal realm there is impression of happening. But in reality there is no happening. In the mind, in the conceptual realm there is time and space and events. But reality is non-conceptual. It's not defined by the concepts of time and space. You are not defined by time and space. You are not defined by time and space. So relax your body-mind. Allow whatever is unfolding, whatever sensations are appearing to you. No resistance. No direction. No goal. Nothing to defend. No one to defend. No state to attain.
