Everything is Self (and there is no self).

Samuels-

…..there is sufficiency everywhere ……Now Here in this Awareness, this

instant.

Seeking wealth, perfect health- one side of the pendulum, pushing away what is.
Only perfection everywhere.

No effort involved to rest as sufficiency;

….you are this Now…..this efforting slides pas the Center Light.

Matthews, J Jennifer.

‘Selving’ is a misunderstanding which causes us to problematize our

experience.

Appreciation of the mystery of life is not another state that we have to attain.

It is merely the knowledge and acceptance that there is really nowhere else we
have to go, nothing else we have to do.

…poignant feelings come, not from a subject, but from an unbounded openness,
which wants only what is happening now.

……This unbounded openness does not look for satisfaction in the next person,
emotion, or thought. It seems to accept every situation as is.

It is essential to evade the compulsion of our desires by understanding that there

does not need to be anything else in our current situations.

There is no greater feeling, state, or condition that we have to achieve. There is

no lesser or more limited feeling, state, or condition that we have to be liberated
from. This is it.

My only work in this world is to accept the Love I truly am.

Once I accept my true identity, I can go home. But once I accept my true
identity, I’ll know that I’m already home!

The drama and chaos of the world convinces me I have urgent problems to
solve and I must solve them immediately in a state of mind other than Love.

The personal emotions are reactions to my thoughts about an apparent external

world, so they fluctuate all the time. Love is constant - it’s not generated by
conditions.

This practice is challenging because it takes away any justification to be

dissatisfied with our experience. We all feel that we have the right to be
dissatisfied and this practice only allows for perfect contentment. Of
course feelings of discontent do arise in meditation, but if they do the
simple instructions would ask you to be perfectly content with being
discontent.

One of the miracles of meditation is the recognition that contentment is

not just a feeling. We can be content even when we feel discontent. We
can be happy even when we feel unhappy. I realize that this may sound
nonsensical, but it is the key to spiritual freedom. As long as you believe
that your contentment is dependent on having a particular feeling you
will always be chasing after that feeling.

When you realize what true contentment is you can choose to be

content anytime under any circumstances. In fact, the energetic shock of
this recognition can be so powerful that it shifts your nervous system into
a state of ongoing contentment. Not an ongoing feeling of contentment,
but an ongoing sense of being at home and at peace no matter what you
are experiencing.

As all preferences fall away we don’t know who we are anymore. We are
free from identity and self-concern. We have disappeared. This is the
dissolution into emptiness that is the source of freedom that many
spiritual paths describe. It takes tremendous courage to keep letting go
once we start to feel our identity falling away. Only those who truly and
deeply want to be free will be willing to keep going and let it all go.

What we discover is that we don’t disappear. All of our ideas about who
we are fall away, but even when we don’t know anything about ourselves
we are still here. What we give up is any sense of separation from
ourselves. We lose the external vantage point from which we have
always looked back at ourselves. We simply are who we are. We are
home.

We enter into a place where there is just experience and no one

experiencing it. The sense of ‘me’ being someone who is separate from
the experience I am having vanishes. There is a sense of total
connection and boundless freedom. We extend in all directions
simultaneously. We are nowhere and everywhere always at once. There
is nothing we need to do because we are already home and always
have been.
