  Good Morning Wake Up - Ep. 143 A Holiday is Not a Practice, It Is a Way of Being 16.09.2026 10min

  Good morning, everyone. I took a couple of days off the last two days. And here I am again.Let’s be on holiday together. ««»»Another way to say what a holiday is, maybe the most accurate way, is to be that which is aware, or to be that which is knowing. To be that.««»»Even a sense of silence or peace is an object. Who is knowing that? Be the knowing of that, consciously. ««»»If some peace or silence or something is elicited in the body or the mind, that’s nice, that’s good. But attending to that is still attending to an object. Be that which is aware of that. This is what you are at the root, at the core. ««»»What can be more direct than going directly to source, what I am? ««»»Because part of my sharing is by using words, especially since we’re just in an audio context here, we’re not together in person, so words are important to use. And the words that I use often are ‘aware being’, to be consciously aware of aware being. But even that can be subtly objectified, looking for aware being.But what aware being is, is myself what I am aware and being that.««»»So if you notice you’re looking for something called ‘aware being’, notice that you’re looking for an object. It is you the one looking for the object that is what we’re coming to, which is pure aware. And I say, be that. ««»»And this is only pure subject. I know myself.««»»The beauty of this is that you don’t need daily dedicated time, like a meditation practice or something like that. That’s also fine to sit around and do this. But this not only should be, but has to be lived in your daily experience, in the course of your day.««»»If you’re focusing on something, work or something, that’s perfectly fine. Nothing is wrong. You’re not doing anything wrong. But when you’re not focused on anything in particular, why not be aware of yourself? If you’re walking to the kitchen, going to the bathroom, cooking, or doing the many things that you do during the day which don’t require focused attention during those times, know yourself. ««»»And very gentle also, no force or struggle. It’s very easy to know that I am, of course, very simple. So be gentle and just know that I am.««»»And you come to see, and you come to know, more and more that this is my heart. This is what I am. This is the essence of I.And it’s always true and always so. Whether I’m aware of it or not. And this makes a change in your way of being In your ease of being. And you’re taking yourself less seriously, this self character.««»»So the work is very gentle. It’s very loving also. I call this self-love, loving yourself.Yourself being pure aware of being, I am that I am. ««»»And so today, throughout the course of your day, just recall this and just notice for a moment in the midst of whatever you’re doing, I am pure aware being prior to my name and my form and my story and all of that, I am.««»»It’s good to be with you. I’ll be back again tomorrow. Peace.TWO UPCOMING INTENSIVESwww.liberationis.comSalvadore Poe - Liberation IS is a reader-supported publication.

  Good Morning Wake Up - Ep. 142 Prior To The Sense of I - I Am 13.09.2026 7min

  Good morning, everyone. Some teachings like Nisargadatta, for example, suggest to hold on to the sense of I am. And in holding on to that or attending to that exclusively, eventually that will vanish and what will be left is the Absolute Self. That’s not really what I try to point to here, actually. What is already prior to that sense of self or feeling of self? That can’t be named or described, but it can be known, So, for a moment, let’s just be on holiday, open, knowing, aware.««»»So the sense or the feeling of I am is localized, isn’t it? If you close your eyes or go within, so to speak, and know yourself to be here, just subjectively knowing yourself as this I am feeling, you can recognize that. ««»»That’s still imposing a limitation though, isn’t it? ««»»So, again, with the eyes open preferably, pure being, aware, knowing. ««»»Not localized, not a sense or a feeling. ««»»Uncharacterizable. ««»»But paradoxically, undeniable. ««»»Unlimited. Unlocalized. Uncentralized. ««»»But also I, not in the sense of I, this limited form, but in the sense of existence. And I am that.««»»So what I’m suggesting is to not get stuck on the sense or feeling I am and holding on to that, waiting for that to vanish or something like that, but go immediately beyond or prior to that. ««»»There’s no ego there, there’s no personal self there. ««»»Pure aware being. ««»»Eternally what I am. Always. ««»»It’s good to be with you. I’ll be back again tomorrow. Peace.THERE ARE TWO UPCOMING INTENSIVESDETAILS: www.liberationis.comSalvadore Poe - Liberation IS is a reader-supported publication.

  Good Morning Wake Up - Ep. 141 The Vast Unknown 12.09.2026 11min

  Good morning everyone.Let’s just be here together, blown wide open. ««»»Pure aware being. Prior to any name or form, any personal history, any movements of the self. Simply aware. ««»»What would it be like for you to have no reliance whatsoever on the conceptual mind, as regards to liberation or freedom? Literally no thoughts, no ideas, no concepts, nothing at all.««»»Not even, “I’m awareness,” not even,” I’m non-dual?, not even, “there’s no self”, not even anything, no words, no ideas whatsoever, literally nothing of the mind.««»»See where that leaves you. It leaves you in the vast unknown. By unknown, I mean nothing known with the mind to rely on. ««»»It leaves you in pure knowing, synonymous with aware, synonymous with pure being, what I am.««»»Now, those words have to go as well, of course.Those words are just a little tool to pry open something and then throw the tool away. Those words mean nothing. So with no words, simply here and now, be.««»»When any concepts arise, whatever the concept might be, ‘I am awareness’ or anything, with that concept arises the one who has the concept as well, the rising I, the ego.You see? ««»»In no concept, in no ideas, in the unknown, pure knowing,there’s no ego, there’s no rising I, there’s only pure being.««»»Recognizing this pure being is the beginning. It’s also the end, but it’s not the end because there’s still attraction to the conceptual mind. That has to be slowly attenuated. ««»»And that happens simply by being out in the sun of pure being, the vast unknown. Loving that, being that. ««»»It’s the end of you, the seeker, the understander, the conceptualizer, the philosophizer. the arguer. the waiter. It’s the end of that one. Now.««»»And don’t have another concept, “well, I have to recognize this and it has to be permanent”. There’s already an I in there who has the idea that it has to be permanent. There’s already the one who’s failing that, rising I. ««»»Freedom is only ever always now.Like now.««»»So you won’t be more free in the future if that thought is there that is again the rising I, ego, the seeker.««»»You’re gonna be free now, only. ««»»So just notice those movements.“Okay, I recognize this now, but when will it be permanent?” “Oh, who was that saying that? Uh-huh. Oh, very interesting.”That’s all.Very interesting. Jump. ««»»What more can you do? Nothing. ««»»The way to be free, is to be free. Like now. ««»»Being free means free from the known. The ego is the known.All of the associated concepts and thoughts and desires and fears of the ego are the known also. Free from the known means, I am prior to that, now.Pure being. Consciously aware. ««»»It’s good to be with you. I’ll be back again tomorrow.

  Good Morning Wake Up - Ep. 140 There's Nothing Behind the Curtain 11.09.2026 12min

  Good morning, everyone.What caused this moment to be as it is? Well, some people claim that we create this moment, we create the movements of our life, and that we have something to do with that. Some people claim God creates everything. Some people claim karma. It’s all karma. Or destiny. But what’s actually true of any of these things? Are any of them true? I think an interesting question is, why or who feels a need to know that, any of those, one way or another? What about not knowing at all? Freedom from the known. It’s easy to, because we don’t know why something is happening, say, “well, that’s my karma” or something like that. Or it’s God’s will. Or it happened because of this or that cause and effect. And it’s because of my fault or my doing or my great deed or something. There can be some comfort in feeling that now I know why something is as it is. Even if it’s, well, it’s God’s will, so it’s out of my hand. There’s some comfort in that as well, some security in the known. But again, the real question is, who needs to know that? Who needs that security?Not even whether any of it’s true or not, because do I know if any of it’s true or not? No. No idea. Do I need to know if any of it’s true? Well, no. That need is not here, but it is here for, you know, maybe many or most people, the need to have some kind of security of the known there.Well, obviously, the one who rises as I, the one who has the insecurity of being separated, the one who feels it’s going to die, is the one who wants to have some security in all of that.««»»This is not a judgment. This is not pointing out something that needs to be killed or anything like that. This is just, what’s going on here? Let’s notice. What is that need for the security of the known? Whether it’s karma, destiny, God’s will, my own will, whatever, cause and effect. Well, I see this in a different way myself. Just for a moment, let’s be together. Just knowing now, pure being being this moment.««»»Can this moment be any different than it is?If I don’t go into the mind that wants to understand something, if I just stay open, pure knowing being, why is this moment as it is? There’s no answer. Clearly, it simply is, as it is.««»»All ideas of destiny, karma, the will of God, cause and effect, my own free will and doership, all of those ideas, they’re pointless.They have no relevance whatsoever to this moment.««»»They’re just desperately grasped straws of understanding because of the need for security. If that need for security is not here, then the one who needs that security is not here either, and vice versa. If the one who needs that security of the known, those concepts, is not here, then those concepts are not here either.They are one and the same. The need to know and the one who needs to know rise and fall together.««»»So what I say, the way I see it, is there’s nothing behind the curtain of this, now.And what does that mean?Well, a few things. There’s nothing behind the curtain as far as time. There’s no past behind the curtain of now. There’s only now and nothing behind the curtain. There’s no reason why this moment is as it is. It simply is. There’s nothing behind the curtain as far as a reason.There’s nothing behind the curtain as far as an explanation, destiny, free will, God’s will, cause and effect, karma. In this moment now, none of those apply, so there’s nothing behind the curtain as far as a reason for this moment to be as it is. ««»»How is that for you? To hear that? To take that in?Is it a threat to the one rising who needs that, to have some security in the known? Just notice nothing to judge. ««»»There can be a relaxation in the realization that none of those concepts apply, and there is nothing behind the curtain of this time, explanation, all of that. If there’s a relaxation, it’s because the one who would be threatened by that is not rising in that moment, so there’s just relaxation,a relief.««»»As with everything that I speak about, there’s no judgment. It’s just notice what’s going on.That’s all.If I have some concept like karma or destiny or free will or anything, then look and see, is it actually true? If I say it’s my karma or destiny or it’s the will of God or something, is it actually true? How can I possibly know that? I can’t know that.It’s not knowable. None of that is knowable, is it?You know what’s knowable? Here and now, pure aware of being. Knowing itself, that’s knowable, with no description, no explanation, no understanding, and no one that needs any of that. Like now for a moment. ««»»It’s good to be with you. I’ll be back again tomorrow. Peace.The next Open Meeting is Sunday, September 13Salvadore Poe - Liberation IS is a reader-supported publication.

  Good Morning Wake UP - Ep. 139 No Anticipation 10.09.2026 6min

  Good morning, everyone. Let’s just be here together, consciously aware of ourselves, pure being, aware, prior to the movements of mind and body.««»»And I want to remind you also, don’t wait for the next thing I’m going to say. Anticipation.When there’s silence, just be nothing. And if there’s any anticipation or waiting for the next thing Sal is gonna say, just notice that.And then just come back to pure being, because who knows when the next words will come. I don’t. So, for a moment, let’s just be. ««»»Any movement of waiting or anticipating just rises out of no thing. Just see that movement. ««»»The body, mind, organism, it’s always constantly moving.Sensations in the body and mental movements, thoughts, that’s its nature. And so, nothing to do about that at all. Just continue knowing, open, aware, which is far vaster than any of those temporary movements. ««»»I am always here as aware being.Whether I’m just aware of myself as aware being, or whether I’m aware of any object that’s appearing, I still am the same aware being. And so, know that, doubtlessly. ««»»I think that’s all for today. Good to be with you, and I’ll be back again tomorrow.

  Good Morning Wake Up - Ep. 138 Ego is Like the Middleman Between Life and Itself 09.09.2026 8min

  Good morning, everyone. Any movement at all to get something, understand something, stop something like thoughts, to attain something, any movement to recognize something or to realize something… well, what is that movement? It’s the very thing that’s being inquired into, isn’t it, ego. What would it be like in any moment to have no opposition whatsoever?Because all of those things I just mentioned are in one way or another opposition to what is. It must be something else than this.In a way you can say freedom is the ultimate relaxation.Relaxing of the one who needs something different than this moment.Because the one who’s seeking or the one who is looking for something or the one who wants something to be different than this moment is the very thing itself that’s in the way of this moment. In a way. Nothing’s ever in the way of any moment but at the level of experience, how your lived experience is, that one is the very thing that is, rhetorically speaking, blocking this moment. ««»»In a moment when that rising questioner, seeker, inquirer is not here, then it’s over. There’s only this, no one in the middle. Ego is like the middleman between life and itself. There is actually nothing between life and itself, but ego comes in and splits life and acts like the middleman negotiating. ««»»So the ultimate relaxation or surrender is that there’s no one here in the middle of anything, splitting anything, dividing anything, separating anything. ««»»There’s no one here seeking anything, arguing with life, fixing anything, improving anything, trying to attain anything, that one is not here. ««»»And what is this seamless, undivided, oceanic, itself only. Nothing in everything. No separation in there anywhere. ««»»Even the one who’s trying to see this is that same separator. ««»»It’s that which is dividing the undivided. ««»»So without even trying to see anything or recognize anything, well, what’s to say about it? Nothing.««»»Nothing can be said, not even jump, not even free fall, because even that introduces someone. ««»»This moment is already undivided. There’s nothing in the middle of anything. ««»»It’s good to be with you. I’ll be back again tomorrow.

  Good Morning Wake Up - Ep. 137 Your Being is The Radiant Sun That Outshines and Illumines Everything and Denies Nothing. 08.09.2026 8min

  Good Morning, Everyone.Let’s see what we have today. Let’s just be together, just now, blown wide open, pure being, prior to any movements of mind. ««»»When you are on holiday like this, it’s really clear to see that knowing permeates in and through and beyond this body. There’s no inner or outer in this pure being.There’s no line somewhere where it ends. See that for a moment.««»»When, for the moment you’re on holiday, you don’t know yourself just as the body-mind, but you know yourself as this pure being. Then you can see also that not only pure being doesn’t end, in fact, I don’t end because I am that.««»»In this moment of knowing myself as pure being, I don’t deny the body is here. I don’t deny that sensations are here. I don’t deny that any of the sensory objects that are appearing are here. I don’t deny that thoughts are coming and going. I don’t deny any of that.What I recognize and see and know is that I, pure being, outshine all of that. ««»»I shine through and beyond all of these physically related appearances without ever denying any of them. But I permeate and shine like the sun outward in every direction. You can see this for yourself. ««»»Like the sun doesn’t deny anything that it illumines, trees, the people, the planets, the sun doesn’t deny any of those, but it outshines all of it. Its radiant being is the most obvious, and illumines all of the objects of the world. ««»»And it’s the same with the sun of your own being. Your being is the sun of knowing. It’s the radiant sun that outshines and illumines everything.And without which nothing would be known. ««»»And so, being free or living freedom is to recognize that which outshines all of these experiences, that denies none of them, but simply is, always, eternally and ever-present in the midst of all experience and illumining all experience, what I am. And to be that. And being that, you’re already home. You’re already free. Nothing is more to seek, attain. Nothing to transcend. Nothing to kill.««»»There’s no need to do any of those things because what I am already is pure being knowing that which outshines and illumines everything.So there’s nothing to attain, only to know.««»»So now for a moment, let’s be together as that which outshines and illumines everything and denies nothing.Be as you are. ««»»It’s good to be with you. I’ll be back again tomorrow. Peace.THERE ARE TWO UPCOMING INTENSIVESDETAILS: www.liberationis.comSalvadore Poe - Liberation IS is a reader-supported publication.

  Good Morning Wake Up - Ep. 136 What About Birth? 07.09.2026 10min

  Good morning, everyone. Yesterday, we inquired into death. If you haven’t had a chance to listen to that one, you can maybe do that. So today, why don’t we speak about birth?What is birth? Were you born when you came out of the womb? What was born actually then? You were present in the womb, weren’t you? By you, I mean life.The body was also present in its different, ever-changing form, which hasn’t stopped until even now and continuing onward as well. But in the womb, you were there, life. Before that, in the sperm and in the egg, you were there as well, life. In your parents’ bodies, you were there, life.In their parents’ bodies, back and back and back. Before humans, dinosaurs, life was present. And before them, more simple forms, life was present as well. And so fast forward until the moment when this body came out of the womb and we say, I was born. I say nothing was born. But let’s see, what can we say birth is actually, if anything? When you first came out of the womb, and you don’t remember this, but you know anyway, and you see it in babies, there’s no self-identification yet at all.There’s only blown wide open aware being. There’s no separate self yet.There’s no I am consciousness either. There’s only pure consciousness with no I am.And then after some time, your parents are talking to you and pointing at you and giving you a name and referring to you, you know, the body. And then eventually at some point it dawns on you, I am this, this separate thing here. I am separate. I am something. Before that or prior to that, it was pure aware being, what I am prior to the admission that I am something separate. So in that moment, you were born. Another way to put it is you took a birth of self. And that was the first of millions of births of self that happened throughout the course of this body’s life. There isn’t just one birth of self. There’s continual appearance and disappearance of this self, constantly.Well, Nisargadatta talks about, what were you prior to your birth? And he does say, what were you in the womb or before the womb? But we misunderstand that. We try to look back to what I was before that. What he’s trying to say is, what are you now before this birth of self happens, which is only now always? So in each moment, I’m born as a self, or not.So for a moment, let’s be prior to that birth of self, just knowing pure being, aware.««»»So as we saw yesterday, in no mind, there’s no time, meaning there’s no future. And if there’s no time and no future, then there’s no one here to have a future. And so there’s no one here that’s going to die in the future.Maybe we can see that again now for a moment.««»»Well, likewise, in no mind there’s no time and there’s no past as well. And if there’s no time and no past, then there’s no one to have had a past and no one to have been born in the past either.If there’s only now, you were not born in the past.You’re born now when you know yourself exclusively as this separate self here, this I am something.Then you take a birth of self. And that’s always now, it’s not in the past. ««»»So for now, let’s not have a past. No history. No birth. ««»»I simply am.There’s no birth and there’s no death in what I actually am, which is now.There’s no birth and there’s no death in that.««»»Prior to the Rising I, there’s no time, there’s no past, there’s no future, there’s no birth, there’s no death. Prior to the Rising I.Like now. ««»»It’s good to be with you. I’ll be back again tomorrow.

  Good Morning Wake Up - Ep. 135 What About Death? 06.09.2026 10min

  Good morning, everyone.Well, I just came in to record something and I had no idea what I would speak about. And just as I was sitting down in front of the mic, I thought, well, what about death?Why not? Let’s find out. Let’s be on holiday for a moment. Just blown wide open. Pure aware being. ««»»Pure aware being doesn’t deny anything that is appearing, body, sensations, sensory objects, and all of that, but it outshines all of it. It’s the most obvious of anything. Let’s be there for a moment. ««»»So let’s look into our own death. What is that? Many people think about death. Some people even very early in their young life for some reason start thinking about death. And everyone of course is concerned or fears for their own death. But what is it really that dies? I’m not saying I know the answer. I’m saying let’s look and find out.As with any other thought, as with any other idea, as with any other concept, as with anything related to time, where does any of that take place? It’s all thought, isn’t it? Everything I just mentioned. So where does past take place? Is past actual? Look and see. Where is it?Isn’t it true that what is, is only this, now?Past is not actual, it’s a thought. ««»»And future as well.Where is future? Again, there’s only this, now. Future is only a thought. So for a moment, don’t refer to any thought about time, past or future, and simply be pure being aware now, and then where is past and future? ««»»Obviously they are not, because what is, is this. And so, as relating to death, when is it that I am going to die? In the future.But as we just saw, other than the thought of a future, in truth, there isn’t a future, there is only this, what actually is.So that thought of a future is only that, a thought, it’s not an actuality. ««»»So the idea that I’m going to die in the future is exactly that, an idea, a thought. And as with everything else we look into often, that idea or thought that I, that’s going to die in the future, is the rising I appearing out of pure knowing being. This movement, this idea that claims itself to be I, but is really the phantom, because I am ever-existent now. ««»»So, the I that fears its demise or death in the future is a thought. ««»»Because of the first thought, which is the rising I, which is I am separate, the first thought, which is underneath every other thought, that first thought, because of that first thought, imposed on top of that is the subsequent thought, “I” am going to die. But here now, blown wide open, pure being knowing that outshines everything. There is no thought of I. There is no future.And there’s no I that’s going to die either.««»»What I’m saying sounds radical and it sounds extreme and of course the body is going to drop and all of that, but if you, for a moment, in a very radical way can be nothing, no thing, no thought, no rising I, pure being, pure aware, only that you see in that there is no death, because there’s no one there to die and no future in which that one will die.Like now, let’s have a look. Radically no thing. ««»»Really, truly, and in your own experience, there’s only now. That’s all there is, you know. That’s not a clever little anecdote or anything like that.It’s simply what is, is now, you know. ««»»When I rise as a separate self, immediately time rises with that. Past and future rise with that. And someone here who can die rises with that. And who will die in the future rises with that as well. And then fear comes, of course.And understandably, of course. But for a moment, jump off birth and death and be as you are, eternal life here and now.««»»Eternal doesn’t mean a long time or forever or what you become after death or something like that. Eternal just means now. It’s eternally this, eternally now.Eternally I am. And in that there’s no death. ««»»Good to be with you. I’ll be back again tomorrow.

  Good Morning Wake Up - Ep. 134 When the One Who Has a Problem is Gone, The Problem is Gone 05.09.2026 11min

  Good morning, everyone. What is it that is dissatisfied with this moment as it is? That’s pretty obvious.In the absence of the egoic movement, the rising I, the separative I,like now for a moment, let’s just be pure aware of being. ««»»Prior to the rising of that separative I, who is here to say anything is wrong with this moment or that something should be different? ««»»If there’s no one here to say that something is wrong or something should be different, then nothing is wrong and nothing should be different. ««»»In the rising I, which is the egoic movement, well, inherent in that is that there’s something wrong, because it’s an immediate sense of separation, of contraction, of opposition. And so the rising I, that movement of ego, can never be truly satisfied or at ease. It can have moments of feeling satisfied when it gets something that it wants, you know, an object of the senses or a physical object or a little piece of intellectual information or something that soothes its sense of lack for a moment. ««»»But that doesn’t last. There’s always the next thing, you know. Because as I said, inherent in the rising I is dissatisfaction, disconnection, separation.««»»True contentment or being at ease with this moment is not found there in the rising I, ego. It’s found in this moment itself. And this moment itself, here now, pure aware being is synonymous with I. I am this moment, pure aware being now. It’s what I am. Let’s see this for ourselves.So have a moment prior to the rising I, pure aware being, synonymous with now.I am that. ««»»So if you recognize that and can abide as that for a moment, then you can also see that the one who has a problem with this moment isn’t here. In which case it means there is no problem with this moment.Because that one is gone. Like now.««»»As with everything I try to share or impart, it’s just to notice, just to see the functioning. I don’t like to make any hyperbolic statements that you must kill something or do this or kill that or get rid of something. No, just see what’s going on here.The dissatisfaction with this moment as it is appears only with the one who is dissatisfied, the rising I.««»»The rising I is the dissatisfaction, and the dissatisfaction is the rising I. So true contentment and ease of being won’t be found there.It’s found in what already is as what I am, my essential being, which is that peace, contentment and all of that. ««»»And so I just say, for a moment, come back to the Heart.The Heart meaning what I am prior to all of that. Not the physical heart. I mean the Heart of everything as it is. The true Heart. And be there for a moment.And see that without the rising I, there’s really no problem. ««»»And the point of my incessantly inviting you to be on Holiday is that you become convinced that this is what I am. This is my actual being.So, instead of having to kill something, I recognize what actually is true, what I am.And then I’m no longer so concerned with what arises either. Because I know, prior to all of that, all is well. ««»»So be in the Heart, the Heart of everything, the source of it all, what I am, pure aware. ««»»And then even the occasionally rising, dissatisfied I loses its sting. Because you can’t be so fooled, you know. Or you can’t be fooled at all.Because you know. Know what’s true, and truth will set you free. What am I? What am I really? What am I eternally? What am I that’s always fine?Come to know that. And abide there more and more, and it will become doubtless. So for a moment, let’s just be in the Heart, pure aware being.««»»All is well. It’s good to be with you. I’ll be back again tomorrow. Peace.THERE ARE TWO UPCOMING INTENSIVESINFORMATION: www.liberationis.comSalvadore Poe - Liberation IS is a reader-supported publication.

  Good Morning Wake Up - Ep. 133 Ego is not an Entity, It is an Activity of Pure Being 04.09.2026 11min

  Good morning everyone. Ego is not an entity, a sentient thing.Ego is a movement, an activity. Let’s have a look. You can keep your eyes closed if you’d like. Just rest now as pure aware being, for a moment. ««»»This is pure knowing. Not of anything in particular. just the fact. knowing. ««»»It’s the core of what I am. It’s that in which everything is known, all of the moving parts.But I, knowing or aware, don’t move or change. I’m always there at the root of whatever is known. So I suggest for a moment just be knowing or aware.««»»This what I am knowing doesn’t need anything other than myself to know myself.I know I, Subject, Subject. ««»»Out of this pure knowing, aware being, the objects of the five senses occur. Visual objects, auditory objects, touch, taste, smell objects.Those objects occur. They’re the known. I am the knowing of those objects. ««»»In and of themselves, those who don’t constitute go, just simply moving parts appearing in knowing.So we just come back to knowing for a moment again. ««»»Other moving parts are sensations of the body. You can now be aware of or know a plethora of sensations.Have a look. Some subtle, some more gross. ««»»Those are objects known. Knowing, what I am. ««»»Other moving parts or thoughts, these are also known objects, known within knowing, what I am.««»»And of course emotions as well, happiness, sadness, well, so many different emotions. Those are moving parts as well, known to myself, knowing.««»»In and of themselves, none of those moving parts are ego. When I believe myself to be, when I act as if, when I know myself as any of those moving parts, which of course would be mostly thoughts and emotions and sensations of the body. When I know myself as that, that’s an activity.It’s arising out of no thing and acting as something. ««»»Nothing wrong with that movement.Just pointing out that that identification, that rising self, that ego, is not a sentient thing. It’s not an entity. It’s a rising movement, fleeting, ephemeral, temporal. A wave rising out of ocean of pure being and subsiding back into pure being.And the entire time of its appearance, it is only pure being.««»»And it’s transparent. You can see through it just like you can see through clear blue water. Permeating that rising I or ego is pure being, the Self. ««»»There is no separate ego, which is good news because that means there’s nothing to kill or even transcend. There’s only to notice and to know what’s actually happening.Ego is not an entity or a thing or a sentient being. Ego is simply a movement and activity arising like a wave out of the ocean of pure being, what I am. ««»»And so for a moment, just be as you are, pure aware being. And notice all of the different moving parts, sensory perceptions, sensations of the body, thoughts, emotions, and the rising of a so-called separate self. All moving parts, all temporal, all temporary. Rising out of the ocean of myself. And be that. ««»»It’s good to be with you. I’ll be back again tomorrow.

  Good Morning Wake Up - Ep. 132 A Good Question to Ask - What Am I, Prior to This? 03.09.2026 9min

  Good morning, everyone. A good question to pose for yourself, and this is just a possible, another means of coming to pure aware being. So the question is, when you’re sitting here and something arises, thoughts or emotions, and you notice that’s happening, just ask yourself, what am I prior to this?No answer will come.It’s not about having an answer. It’s about the mind and that sense coming to rest in favor of just being blown wide open, pure aware. So let’s just sit here for a few minutes and just be as you are. And pose the question, when am I prior to this, whatever it is that’s appearing. Just pose it once, though. Don’t linger on the thought there. But pose the question, when am I prior to this, whatever is appearing now? And just see.It just will thrust you out into pure aware being, that question itself. ««»»This is really a very good thing to do, especially for those moments when mind is very compelling, you know, a story is there or something that is really taking your attention away from pure being. In that moment, just say, hey, what am I prior to this movement here? And that can stop whatever movement is happening for a moment.Enough for you to come out into the sun and be pure aware being. ««»»This is kind of a practical way to see something different in the midst of anything, but particularly in troubling moments. ««»»In that case, when troubling moments happen, you can see those in a new light, in the light of a gracious movement of life, reminding you to turn around and know what you are prior to all of that.So those troubling moments are very nice opportunities.««»»And you get to really see in those moments, without any judgment, well, what am I really devoted to? If I’m really devoted to freedom, then it’s here. I can have that in any moment. Even if the moment’s not feeling particularly good or whatever it might be, confusing, maybe some troubling emotion, even if it’s not feeling good, still in the midst of that, I can at least for a moment come out into the sun and see what I am prior to that. ««»»And so then Bhakti is about being committed to living more like this, more open, more free, less hypnotized by those movements. ««»»So then instead of being just wrapped up in this story of self, self-pity, self-judgment, self-blame, whatever it can be, you know, self-victimization, instead of being completely involved with that, real Self-love is the love of Self. That which is free in every moment. What I am. ««»»So this is living a life of devotion, really. And it’s a beautiful thing, actually. Devotion to truth, not with a capital T, but truth, the truth Being. I’m free in every moment, actually. I am aware being eternally, never changing. I know that I am. None of these things can be denied, actually. They’re true, you can see. This way of living or this way of being is devotion to that, to truth. ««»»So for a moment, let’s just be here sitting together. And when something appears, thoughts or a sensation or an emotion, intention goes there, just ask simply, what am I prior to this?And don’t wait for any answer, just immediately you’ll come out into the sun, pure being. ««»»And notice this throughout your day, of course. That’s where it counts, not only while you’re sitting here together with me, but it counts in your life. ««»»It’s good to be with you. I’ll be back again tomorrow.

  Good Morning Wake Up - Ep. 131 Freedom Is The Natural Human Condition of Health 02.09.2026 8min

  Good morning everyone. Let’s see what we have today.««»»Blown wide open. Pure knowing, pure being. I sound like a broken record, but really what more is there?The way to be free is to recognize that what I am prior to the movements of mind and body and to be there. ««»»If you recognize that I, pure being, prior to the movements of mind and body, are free, then the way to be free is to be free, like now. ««»»Just notice the allure, completely habitual of the movements of the mind. ««»»Notice the self-concern also. The me-me story. ««»»Well, that’s really just what the rising I, ego does, of course, naturally. It’s narcissistic, obviously. That’s what narcissism is, no? So everyone is narcissistic in a way because everyone’s main interest is for self. And of course, that’s completely natural, isn’t it?It’s even healthy to an extent to take care of oneself mentally and emotionally, all of those things, of course, not to deny. But, you know, we can be a bit obsessive, too self-interested in a way, you know.So I just suggest attending to the Self that never changes, that is not localized or centered somewhere, that doesn’t need anything actually, you know.My own essential being, you’re always. Let’s be that.««»»Just notice when too much narcissistic attention to one’s individual personal world, it’s kind of neurotic, no? ««»»What I call freedom or liberation is the natural human condition of health. It doesn’t deny anything. ««»»It abides mostly as that which is already pure health, pure contentment, pure happiness.When something’s needed for body, mind, or whatever, fine. Then it’s addressed.But when it’s addressed strictly from the carousel of itself, then it becomes neurotic, too self-focused. When it’s known in the larger context of what I am, then there’s a different perspective on all of that, isn’t there? ««»»You can really have this different perspective by coming to know what you are at the source, pure aware being, coming to know the value of what that is, coming to see the difference between living from that largely and being neurotically self-focused, Seeing the distinction there and becoming a Bhakta devoted to the healthy aspect of what I am, pure self-love. Yes, this is a definite way of being, very easily available. And why not? Like now. ««»»Peace, silence, bliss. Nice, nice, nice.««»»It’s good to be with you. I’ll be back again tomorrow.

  Good Morning Wake Up Ep. 130 An Endless Amazing Display of Form. What is the Source? 01.09.2026 7min

  Good morning, everyone. Let’s just have a day abiding as pure aware being. ««»»You can have your eyes open or closed, whenever you prefer. ««»»Consciously aware of the pure subjective knowing I am myself. ««»»Just resting at the source before thoughts arise and all of that. Just being there. ««»»This pure knowing being is always here. Always the same, doesn’t change. ««»»Everything rising out of that is in constant change, constant movement. ««»»All the different colors, flavors, textures of form. ««»»An endless amazing display. Never ending, never the same from one moment to the next. ««»»And yet I am the same always. Fascinating.««»»Your security, your safety, your wellbeing, your contentment is all here.Always available completely. ««»»So for this moment, just be that. And notice it throughout your day as well. ««»»This is self-love. This is bhakti. Devotion to your own well-being, health, goodness, purity.««»»So yeah, throughout the day, just recognize this again and again. No effort or pressure or force or anything like that. Just notice, that’s all. Notice that.What is constantly changing and what always is. Two sides of the same coin. ««»»It’s good to be with you. I’ll be back again tomorrow.

  Good Morning Wake Up - Ep. 129 With No Attributes at All, I AM 31.08.2026 14min

  Good morning, everyone. I wanted to share the opening holiday from yesterday’s open meeting on Zoom. So great to be with everyone. Very beautiful meeting, great people, excellent conversations also. But for now, this is just the opening holiday that I shared. Enjoy. We’re just going to be together for a moment in a very simple recognition. Something that’s always true, always so obvious. So just for a moment now, very gentle, relaxed. Just allow attention not to rest on any object thoughts or sensations or any of the sensory objects, but just attend to your own self, pure aware being.««»»Simply know that you are, that’s all. ««»»Not anything in particular, no name or anything, no story, no nationality, gender. Just purely here now being.««»»I like to say relax the focus of attention. Relax is a good word. Relax attention. Attention is often attracted to something, contracting on something. Nothing wrong with that, but now we’re going to just relax that contraction.Be purely open, knowing, aware.««»»Normally when we say I, we are referring to something, this body, this story of self, this limited ephemeral temporal object, that’s I.But now when we say I, I want us to relax and go prior to all of that rising. Prior to that rising of self, pure aware being, I.««»»What am I when I’m not relating as my name?««»»What am I when I’m not relating as my opinions and beliefs? ««»»What am I when I’m not relating as my history, story, past? ««»»When I’m not referring to myself as anything, what am I? ««»»I still am, obviously. I am. ««»»Without any of those attributes of name and form, and history and opinions, With no attributes whatsoever. Pure aware being. I am.««»»I don’t need my name to be. ««»»I don’t need my nationality to be, my skin color to be. ««»»I don’t need my personal history and story to be. I don’t need any of that to be, do I? So I say for a moment, be nothing of that, just simply aware. ««»»Prior to thought, I am. ««»»I don’t need thought to know I am. ««»»I don’t need any concept or idea to know I am.««»»I don’t need anything other than myself, I am, to know I am. Pure subject, no object needed.Pure subject, knowing myself. Can’t be denied. Doesn’t need anything else. Doesn’t need anything else. I simply am. ««»»Doesn’t need a name, doesn’t need any of that, nothing.Pure being.Pure subject.««»»Prior to the rising I that has all of its attributes, name and form and ideas and history, beliefs, opinions, all of it, myriad attributes, prior to that rising I that has those attributes prior to that,I am. ««»»And so for a moment, let’s just be that.««»»The good news is this is always the case, always the case, always the case. Mostly we’re just not aware of it, but when we’re aware of it, it’s the most obvious thing in the world. Nothing can be more obvious.And the most simple also. So that was from yesterday’s open meeting.««»»I think it’s a good introduction to what a holiday is. It’s good to be with you. I’ll be back again tomorrow.

  Good Morning Wake Up - Ep. 128 Discerning Between The Eternal and the Temporal, and Why? 29.08.2026 10min

  Good morning, everyone. Let’s see what’s here today. I often say, Holiday reveals everything.So, let’s find out what it’s going to reveal. Let’s see. Okay.Let’s be together, Holiday.You know what that is. Pure, aware of being. ««»»One of the most important tenets of Vedanta and Indian teachings is called Viveka, which means to discriminate. Well, to just speak very metaphorically, to discriminate between what’s true and what’s false.And that’s equally true for our work. I don’t use the word true or false, but the point being be able to discern between what I actually am, alive, now, sentient, vibrant with being, and what appears as I, which is the time-based story of self replete with enormous amount of attributes. Birth and death, for example. Fears and desires, opinions and preferences, hopes.The thing about all of those attributes Of course, when they’re appearing, they seem, and for all intents and purposes, are very real, no question. Not to deny that. But each and every one of those is gone instantly when you come to know your essential, timeless being, which is free of attributes.Like now, for example.««»»So it’s not about saying those things don’t arise and those things don’t have their own validity. What it’s about is what do we put our main being and existence on? Do we put it on the fleeting, ever-changing, suffering-inducing, appearing self that has really, in truth, no actual substance to it, all of that mind activity?Or do we put most of our value on the eternal, content being that we always are?So this is where Viveka or discrimination comes in, discernment. To see this and to live more like this.««»»So a Holiday, for a moment, is to be that which is eternal, always true, always actual, always what I am prior to any characteristics. Like now.««»»The reason it’s so important to have Viveka or discrimination is to see the spell that’s cast by mind, and to break that spell.Unless we know what that is, that spell of self, that hypnotizing movement, unless we know that very clearly, and also know an alternative, that which is alive prior to that, what I am, then we really have no chance of being free, do we? ««»»The difference is very clear. This is in your own experience. ««»»So it’s good to see this. It’s good to know this. And it’s good to come out into the sun more and more. Make that part of your life experience, daily, ordinary life lived experience. Not a big deal, not a practice, just a new way of being. ««»»The more you live like this, the more it’s just, you know, you’re convinced, I’m free. Doesn’t matter what’s coming and going.Doesn’t matter where attention is going. Doesn’t matter if there are thoughts and all of that. Because you’re convinced, you’re free and you become convinced by living this more and more and really discerning the difference between the two and coming to know doubtlessly that what I actually am is now, here, alive, aware, sentient being.This is what I actually am. And so then the appearances are fine, no problem.So for a moment, let’s be together. Pure aware being. ««»»And come to this throughout your day, no matter what you’re doing. Really very simple, isn’t it? Very natural, very ordinary. It’s the end of you in a way, the end of the seeker. The end of the separative divisive movement of self. You can see that for sure.««»»Pure aware being. True now, true always, true for everyone. ««»»Good to be with you. I’ll be back again tomorrow.

  Good Morning Wake Up - Ep. 127 Form Is Transparent. Being Permeates Everything 28.08.2026 13min

  Good morning, everyone. Let’s look into the solidity of objects or form. When I say objects or form, I mean everything that’s perceivable, the body, its sensations, thoughts, emotions, the sensory objects, and also ego. Which is as well an object. So, let’s have a holiday for a moment. Be together here. Pure aware being, as we saw yesterday. Just pure aware being.««»»When we’re being as that, it’s easy, I think, to recognize that there is no inside or outside. I don’t stop at the skin line or something like that and then the world begins. My actual being permeates everything, doesn’t it?You can say everything is permeated with being. And that being is one, it doesn’t end somewhere, not centralized somewhere or located anywhere.Try to recognize that now. ««»»Just notice the body, which is myriad sensations. It’s really, well, have a look. Maybe close your eyes for a moment and see what this body is. Is it actually solid or isn’t it more like a field of myriad sensations and movements, energies, subtle. Have a look at that.««»»If you can avoid the picture the mind wants to paint of a body sitting here, and that’s a very normal thing for the mind to do. But in your own actual direct knowing experience, what shape is the body?Isn’t it just a field of energetic sensation, movement, energies, subtle, a little bit more gross? ««»»Just notice that really, see. ««»»It’s really a spacious field permeated by being. Not solid. And this is your own experience, you see for yourself.««»»Being also doesn’t end anywhere. What skin line? Skin? Line? What?Hmm?Really?««»»Other than the mind’s painting of that, but in truth, see for yourself, what skin line? ««»»In truth, the body is more transparent than solid, isn’t it? See for yourself. Being bursts right through all of it. Not stopping somewhere. ««»»So really, you can see for yourself, the body is transparent. Being permeates the body. It is, through the body.Being is, through the body, permeating the body with no end. ««»»You can open your eyes, all of the visual objects, whatever’s in your environment now, permeated with being. ««»»Being is ubiquitous. Being is what I am at the root, the core, the source, the essence.««»»Aware being, permeating the body and beyond. Permeating all of the sensory objects and beyond. ««»»Even thoughts and emotions. When thoughts are there, being permeates those thoughts as well. You might not consciously be aware of it at first, but there are many times when you are. Often there are just thoughts going in the background, somehow you’re not really attending to the thoughts. They’re there, but you’re not really paying attention And in those moments especially you can see being permeates all of that. Thoughts are transparent in that way as well, like the body. ««»»You can even begin to notice more and more, even the more compelling thoughts. They’re not solid. The more you know yourself as aware being, the less you, well, I don’t know, fall for it or something like that, I guess.And the more you begin to recognize that I am here, a present aware being throughout the thoughts as well. ««»»Emotions also. Anger appears, it’s permeated by aware being, it’s transparent. Even that, any of the emotions, sadness, depression, happiness, joy, excitement, fear, whatever it might be, jealousy, all of it is permeated by me.Aware being. Transparent. ««»»So what to do about this? Nothing. Except, keep coming to know yourself as aware being. Abide more and more as that.Be gentle about it. Don’t judge yourself if you get so-called lost in thoughts for a while. It doesn’t matter. But gently come back to pure aware being. Often. ««»»Make this be your way of being more and more. ««»»Like now, what I am, pure where-being permeating everything. ««»»It’s good to be with you. I’ll be back again tomorrow.

  Good Morning Wake Up - Ep. 126 Pure Aware Being and Non Duality 27.08.2026 11min

  Good morning, everyone. I thought today we can just really abide as pure aware being, really come to know that more and more, see its profound nature, its value, and really recognize more and more that that’s what I am.That’s who I am at source. So for a moment, just allow attention to be open. ««»»Prior to any movements of the body or the mind, all of which are fine, but prior to that, we’re just attending to ourself. ««»»So, what do I mean by pure aware being?Well, aware, we can’t deny that, right? Aware is not a thing or an object like awareness or something, but just simply aware.Can’t deny that, right? ««»»And being, you can’t deny that you are, I am. Not I am this or I am that, simply, I am. This is being, isn’t it? ««»»So, aware being. Two aspects of you, that are really the same. ««»»And I say pure because this is stainless, spotless, untouched by any movements of body or mind.««»»Pure aware being has no name, has no form, has no color, texture, time, history, opinions, preferences, beliefs, fears, worries, birth or death, Pure Aware Being. Just now, for a moment, be that. ««»»All of those attributes that I mentioned come with the rising I. ««»»You can see that for yourself. If you’re just here, pure aware being, and I say, for example, “there’s no fear in pure aware being.”Then you say, “yes, but I noticed some fear. “This is just one example. You can choose whatever you want. But I noticed some fear.Okay. Where is that fear arising? ««»»It’s arising as an attribute of the rising I. The self-ego that sees itself as an individual, separate. ««»»Or if you say, “okay, you say pure aware being has no time, no past, but what about my past?”Okay. Again, where is that past appearing? What is that past attributed to? The rising I, of course. ««»»The rising I is the ego, separative self, all of that. The one that has a story. The one that has history. But right now, pure aware being. ««»»If you can recognize this as what I am eternally, prior to rising as a separate I, but what I am eternally, if you can recognize that, then you can also say,I have no history. I only am. ««»»Is that clear? I think for most people. ««»»So a holiday is to know myself not as the rising I with its attributions, its separation from everything else, not to know myself as that, but to know myself prior to the rising of that, pure aware being. ««»»And so, I say, know yourself in a little different way than you’ve known before.««»»No need to deny anything.The body, thoughts, emotions, experiences, sensory perceptions, no need to deny anything. Those all are here arising just as wave rises out of the ocean. When a wave rises out of the ocean, what you’re looking at is ocean with the name wave on it. So when you look at yourself, body, mind and all of that, what you’re looking at is source rising as whatever is rising in this moment in form and appearance. ««»»This is what I say is non-duality. I’m not just awareness.I’m awareness and also the rising body-mind. The rising body mind is source in appearance. Not two. ««»»So for a moment, let’s just be, pure aware being ««»»It’s good to be with you. I’ll be back again tomorrow.

  Good Morning Wake Up - Ep. 125 Do I Have to Kill the Ego? 26.08.2026 17min

  Good morning, everyone. You know, it doesn’t really matter if attention is going to objects. It’s very natural for that to happen, even thoughts. The main event really is to be convinced completely that my timeless aware being is eternally here. And that really the movements of life, whether they’re pleasant or unpleasant, are okay. That is what life is, embodied life. So, it’s not about never having thoughts or never having attention go to an object or something like that.If we have that idea, then there is someone here who has a problem. And that problem being, “oh no, I was attending to something for the last five minutes or two hours”, or whatever. So there must be something wrong. And so that’s not what we’re doing. Having said that, and without any pressure or force, coming out into the sun of pure aware being, my eternal essential nature, is good.Well, in your own experience, you know, and I think that’s what we’ll talk about today, in your own experience, release from the contracted attention to self is very good, isn’t it? Let’s just face it, you know. Because there you recognize contentment.Nothing is lacking, everything’s complete and whole. This is what I am. You recognize you’re a really true essential being which is complete and whole and lacking nothing and really has no fear and has no birth and death either. It’s simply aware being now. And so yes, it’s good to be as that a lot. Let’s do that now for a moment. ««»»You’re immediately off the carousel of endless movement, endless insecurity, endless projection, fear and desire, worries and problems, hopes and desires, all of that.When we have a holiday, we’re immediately off of that carousel. Let’s have another moment of that. ««»»If you recognize this pure aware being as your core, really, or your root, or your source, or whatever, your essence, what I am, then you recognize really the contentment and ease of being, and end of seeking anything in the world. Just a contentment of being. ««»»It’s good for that to be very clear for you.It’s very experiential, isn’t it? This is really your experience of living, of life, of what I am, can be this. ««»»And the other thing that’s important to recognize is the experience of rising with the I and the carousel involved with that.When we rise with the I and get into that whole world, of self, with time, past and future, story of me, good me, bad me, hopes, fears, desires, concerns and worries, life and death, well, that’s a very different experience, isn’t it? ««»»And that experience, or that self, that story, is, it’s really a phantom, isn’t it? It’s not an actual being, because actual being is what I am, actual being, being is what I am. Rising as self is a movie projected on the screen of being. And just like a movie on the screen in a theater, the movie is only shadow and light. it has no actual substance. The only real substance there is the screen.The only substance of you is pure aware being.««»»So again, using the discernment of seeing the difference between those two makes you realize that just falling for that story and being thrown around by it is silly, really, you know? It’s, of course, what my whole life has been, what the life of human consciousness has been due to the fact that we haven’t known anything different, so there’s no fault.But really having the discernment to see what’s going on there and to see how much our experience of life and also our response and reaction in life as well, how we live this life, how much it’s affected by that story, which is shadow and light, has no actual substance and is a phantom.How much does that affect our experience of being and our way of being as well in the world?««»»And so, to circle back to what I said earlier, to have the idea that you’re never going to attend to that rising I story is not so realistic, perhaps. What’s more realistic and very doable is to know the difference between pure aware being, which is actual who I am and the phantom story that rises that I get caught up with and in and act in this world as. To know the difference between the two, discernment. And so, even without killing that rising I and having it never rise again, even without that happening, because you know what’s going on between pure aware being and the phantom I, you know it brings a different quality to your life and your being just by that fact of knowing this and being convinced and doubtless that my essence is pure aware being.That’s what I am. And this rising phantom I is not even a problem, is it? No problem.Let it come, let it go. ««»»I hope I’m getting my point across here because I don’t want to give the impression that you have to be on Holiday 24 hours a day. If you never have another thought again for the rest of your life, that’s all good and well. It’s not realistic nor even necessary. So what I want to say is that you’re free regardless of the so-called rising I, which actually isn’t an I. It’s a phantom I. It’s not really I. What I am is a where-being. And I rise like a movie on a screen as shadow and light, and I call that myself.And fine, no problem.««»»The Bible says “know what’s true and truth will set you free”, which means know what’s true and knowing this will set you free. It doesn’t say,”kill the ego and killing the ego will set you free.” You’re already free.Ego is just a phantom. And fine. Again, let it come, let it go. But know yourself truly, genuinely, and doubtlessly at your root, which is pure aware being, what I am.And then you will see your life will come to more ease, more peace, more contentment, less fear, less desire, less worry. More surrender to what is, and without denying any movements, living this life fully as well, you know. ««»»Let’s have a holiday for a moment, pure aware being prior to the rising of the phantom I. ««»»Secure, safe, home, fulfilled, complete, content, happy. That’s what I am. Always. ««»»It’s good to be with you. I’ll be back again tomorrow. Peace.www.liberationis.comSalvadore Poe - Liberation IS is a reader-supported publication.

  Good Morning Wake Up - Ep. 124 The Invitation of the Subtle, Silent Vibration of Peace 25.08.2026 12min

  Good morning, everyone. Leaving everything as it is, thoughts, sensations, emotions, sensory objects, not trying to do anything at all with any of that. What’s behind all of it? ««»»Words are imperfect, of course, so the word behind or prior to can never really be accurately describing, but as an invitation. So for a moment, just leave everything as it is. Don’t do anything.««»»Just to be behind, prior to, beneath, all of that. ««»»When you’re just resting as or abiding as that, it’s very natural for there to be a palpable vibration of silence or peace. It manifests in the body actually as a subtle, pleasant vibration in a way.««»»The body is only energetic movement, isn’t it? Vibration in a way. And it vibrates at more and more gross levels, you know, thoughts and sensations and all of that. But the subtlest level of its vibration, you can say the first touch of the manifestation of the body is a very subtle, well, dare I say, blissful silence. ««»»If you take a little time to relax, be gentle, continue to take attention away from the moving objects of thoughts and sensations and all of that, and just rest it on your own subjective being, you’ll likely sense or experience that what I’m speaking about.««»»And while attaining a state of silence or bliss or peace is not the goal, because in truth I’m the knowing of that as well, so even prior to that subtle movement I am, it’s very good to come to know this because it invites you to turn attention to yourself prior to the moving mind, body and all of that and be silent, be still. ««»»So the invitation of this subtle, silent vibration of peace is to just take attention back to yourself and be there. ««»»And nothing needs to be denied for that at all.««»»So I would invite you to just be prior to the rising, divisive, separating, limiting movement of self and to just be as you are, to be still. ««»»This stillness, what you are, is fully alive. It is life itself. It’s the source of all of the arising movements. And it vibrates with life. And it vibrates with life now, eternally. ««»»And it vibrates as I as well. I, free of name and form.Of time, past and future. Free of story of self. Free of all of the manifold attributions of that story of self. Simply to be, I. ««»»So it’s good to touch into this. You can listen to these audios, which is hopefully helpful for that. And also just sit by yourself sometimes, or you don’t have to be sitting. Walking is a great way to tune into this, actually.Really anything you’re doing. ««»»Don’t deny any movement, any movement of the body, any movement of the mind, nothing. Just simply be that which is behind it all. Always present. ««»»It’s good to be with you. I’ll be back again tomorrow.
