What I'm pointing to is: Rather than identify with the phenomena, the 'am', identify with the 'I', the light. Then the phenomena turn into 'phenomenal you'. Identify with the phenomena and your heart will not shine. You'll be chasing around trying to make things work from the idea that you are phenomena, a body-mind that keeps passing away. The object of existence is to realise how deep do you go...well you're endless. You are are phenomenal! The moment you let go of the phenomena you become brightly alert brightly aware of what you deeply are. But the moment you turn away your gaze from the phenomena like you cannot lose anything because you are already the wholeness. You're the one which the cosmos radiantly pours out off and also returns to. So then the work is to simply let go of the phenomena. And you'll watch that you shine, You will see that you shine. What you call your life, its shape its form its thoughts its feelings? It is obvious that most of our days are filled with the same old thing. Routine! Do you honestly think a river flowing is routine? Or as a river flowing absolutely gorgeously phenomenal, radiantly flowing and free? When we hold on to the phenomena our life doesn't flow, our life doesn't glow. We've identified with a sense that we need security, mentally, emotionally, physically. To a certain degree we need to look after these bodies, sure! But to not be attached to the form, because if we are we will suffer because it is passing away. We can look after the body, but the moment we start protecting the body we protect all manner of things.. the phenomenal things; thoughts, feelings, events... and our brain starts to collect item after item of identification. We begin to fight our own freedom. Watch a petal fall of a flower , watch a leaf fall off a tree through the sky. It's falling into the freedom of its release of the flower. It doesn't need to remain on the flower to be free. You don't need actually..but you have to discover this ..you don't need your life to stay the same for you to be secure. Your life staying the same brings insecurity. Your life moving from the shine of your heart brings radiance, freedom. A genius is set forth, creativity starts to stream, Love starts to abound everywhere, When you're not fixed to how things should be, you are like that beautiful petal free of a flower. When you let go the things that you think you need and you float free of the things that you think you need: thoughts, feelings, situations...When you float free of those things you come alive, you become beautiful, you become radiant. It begins to be so obvious that in desperation we cling onto the known, but as freedom we're constantly radiantly phenomenal.And the body is radiant because were not living from the pattern that our mind collects. You are gorgeous. You are radiant. What holds you away from realising you are gorgeous? Identification with phenomena.
There is gonna come a time when your body is just gonna fall away beyond your control , but what if it was to fall away now. You are going to be like that petal floating in the air of your brightness. And all the treasures that are truly yours will just come from the universe, just because you're free of the need of mental or emotional security. CLIP 7 FEB
