Today's conversation is on the acknowledgement that the stillness is everything that you desire. The stillness represents everything that you desire to be, everything that you could possibly desire. In other words, we could say you find what you desire in stillness.
Or we could say you find that you have everything that you desire in stillness. Now this may be confusing for the mind from which the person in mind thinks in terms of past, present and future. They say, okay, yesterday I was in Toronto. Today I'm in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. Tomorrow I'll be somewhere else. Yet what remains the same is you experiencing life. You remain the same. Yet you experience
as in I, who remains the same, might be seeking for what we refer to as love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment. And the seeking appears in the form of desire. So the individual desires to have a wonderful harmonious relationship, a wonderful lifestyle, a wonderful business. Nothing wrong with the individual for desiring to experience life, these symbols of life,
The challenge for the individual becomes when they seem to suggest that they don't have what they desire based on appearances. So they may look to this world and say, I don't have the relationship that I desire physically. I don't have the business that I desire physically. I don't have the kind of lifestyle that I desire. Mark 11 24 states, pray as though you have received it.
Which again might not make sense to the mind because the person in mind is looking to this world here and asking questions legitimately. Where is it? What is referred to in the Bible is the acknowledgement that you have what you desire as you exist as what you desire. You are who you desire to be. So in other words, you are the love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment that exists.
the individual seeks for. You are the love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment that the individual seeks for. To prove the point that you are the love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment that you seek for, at any moment you cannot identify with those thoughts that suggest you lack, that you do not have. And that which is aware of these thoughts, you, the I, as you remain as you are,
is also transcended. We could say "I dissolve." "I" dissolves into the being "I am." And then as "I" dissolve into the being "I am," it is experienced in the body as what we can call a physical experience, an embodiment of love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment. For no reason. Not because an external condition is met. Not because of this or that external reason.
for no reason. So in the stillness, the individual has found what they were seeking for their whole life. And while in stillness, they experience themselves to be unconditional love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment, infinite love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment, absolute love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment, beyond limitations. As we remain in that stillness,
The embodiment of love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment continues to, we could say, increase. And it is experienced as spreading, one way of saying it, not to confuse the mind, spreading to everything. All people, environments, past, present and future, we could say, is increasing.
given the light of happiness, the light of love, the light of peace, the light of bliss, the light of fulfillment. And in this moment, the individual does not seek for it as they have realized the source of love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment within. They have found thyself, thyself where I spring from, the same thyself as you, the same self as all that appears. And
this self has a nature, a true nature, which we could say is love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment, because it is undeniably experienced in the moment. So what practical benefits does this have for day-to-day life, for relationships, for business, for lifestyle? Well, the practical benefit is I am the way and the way of life is flow. I am the way.
I am, so I found that I am all that I desire to be in stillness and by abiding as I am, I know certainly that I am all that I desire to be, that I have all that I desire, not because of this or that condition, not because of this or that reason. And that is the way. So the way is then revealed. And the way, or we could say the Tao, the way of life is flow. Flow is the way of life. Have you noticed that while you're in flow,
everything appears to be in harmony. People spontaneously appear to start conversations with you. You spontaneously start conversations with people because there are no thoughts of separation. Those thoughts of separation belong to I. They do not belong to I am. As I am, unconditional love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment. Now this may sound confusing for the mind. That's why what we do is we apply Romans 12 too, which is,
Do not conform to the pattern of this world. So, do not conform to the patterns of this world means this world is as it is, perfect as it is, happening to be in your favor. Yet, the person in mind, we could say, distorts reality through beliefs or beliefs distort reality. To not appear to be perfect as it is now, to not appear to be in harmony with you. These conditions placed upon consciousness is what is generating the illusion of conformity.
Through identification with these patterns, the individual claims that they can't be all that they desire to be. They can't have what they desire. Practically speaking, it appears as them doing things and living a life that is not based on the sure foundation of love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment. They appear to be run by this programming, which is illusory programming, as it does not represent reality.
How do we know that it does not represent reality? Well, we know reality to be, you reality to be as love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment. That is you. Those are great pointer words to point to the fact that existence is love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment. Or we could say if the individual confuses I with existence, transcendent to I, where I spring from, fundamental reality, absolute reality is love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment.
Because beyond the illusions of "I" as we went through an example, we experience ourselves to be all that we desire to be. We experience ourselves to have all that we desire. And we also experience the world of the peers within and without as complete love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment in those moments. So we know that those conditions placed upon consciousness as pure consciousness is perfect as it is,
without the conditions, can be released. They distort reality. So as the individual releases identification by not conforming to the patterns of this world, the patterns are in mind, and the individual is relating to this world from the patterns of mind, which are conditions placed upon consciousness. As these conditions are released by returning to the source, exactly like how we described, return to the source, let it be, let the world be,
let the thoughts be, let the emotions be, and reality is experienced. We could say love embraces you, happiness embraces you, peace embraces you, fulfillment embraces you, bliss embraces you. So all these things are then added onto you. And so again, what does it practically play out for the individual? The individual may ask, what's in it for me? Well, what's in it for you is all these things added onto you in a flow-based way. So as mentioned,
conversations with people, business deals, our experience as effortless as the illusions of separation dissolve. Acquiring clients, coming up with creative ideas, knowing what to do, what not to do, what to say, what not to say, all of those this versus that, us versus them thoughts dissolve as they do not represent you. As we experience reality as a perfect whole,
in the stillness. So we know clearly that is not reality to suggest us versus them, this versus that. It's this and that, us and them. And then it plays out as mutual harmony. You know, the auto suggestion that I like to use that was inspired from Neville Goddard, who got it from Robert Millikan. It is, "I have a lavish, steady, dependable income consistent with integrity and mutual benefit." That auto suggestion is an accurate representation of reality.
I have, not I need to get or it's somewhere out there. I have already. Existence is all that I desire. Fundamental reality beyond the illusions of I. That is reality. You are reality as you spring from. How do you know you spring from? Well, by abiding in the stillness, like how we described, you acknowledge that the I is an appearance to I am. And as you abide as I am, you have found thyself.
that let's say the individual was seeking for all their lives, although they were seeking for it in external appearances. So in the Bible, it says, seek ye first the kingdom and all these things are added onto you. So this is the easiest practical way that I found to find the kingdom. Anyone can do it anywhere. You can do it while you're walking. I just did it with you while walking. As a matter of fact, I remain as I am as I share this with you. And you can also do it
in moments of solitude, whatever you'd like. One way is not better than another. So again, the practical benefits is all of those things that the individual desired to experience in life. Ideal harmonious relationships, ideal harmonious business, whatever it is, whatever the individual desires. I'm not going to tell you what to desire.
You already know what you desire. You already have what you desire. You already are all that you desire to be. So I'm not going to tell you this is how you desire to be. This is what you need to have. That's not my concern. There's no concern at all as that would imply separation. You already have what you desire. You are perfect love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment. I don't identify with the illusions of I. So what ends up happening then is I am the way. The way of life is flow.
So everything appears to flow effortlessly, spontaneously, naturally, as you remain as you are. And one does not have to sit down and remain physically perfectly still to be still. You are eternally still. You, another way of saying it is I am still, yet I may appear to flow. Body may appear to flow. Mind may appear to flow. Emotions may appear to flow. Environments may appear to flow.
Yet, I remain as I am. I am still. I am still all that I desire to be. So, I don't seek anymore. The seeking stops. And as we apply what we're discussing here, what happens is, for some, the seeking might not stop right away. It may require the individual to see this as an opportunity each time the seeking appears for external love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment. Or if the desire emerges,
to seek for external love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment to be met in order to experience love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment. We know that's an illusion because desire means having as stated in Mark 11 24. So in that moment we can acknowledge I have what I desire. I am all that I desire to be. And immediately you feel it. Love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment.
And also, the individual may at any moment, if they seek for a person to call them back in business and the person is not calling them back. If a relationship, for example, they're interested in someone, they send them a text message and maybe before they were responding back within a few hours, but now they're responding back a few days later or they have not responded back. If they seek for this person to send them the text message or call them back,
to suggest that if they call them back and when they call them back, then they can experience happiness. That is an opportunity point to release that identification. And by that I mean very specifically, return back to the stillness as the stillness is all that you desire. The stillness is the truest representation of all that you desire. The stillness is the truest representation of having all that you desire.
Again, this might be confusing to the mind, perhaps in the earlier stages of mind development. Yet I can and myself do nothing. The Father within doeth the work. So even the mind purification is taken care of by God. So practically speaking then, what does it look like? Well, it can look like this. The individual stops seeking externally more and more so for love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment. They don't need that person to call them back.
They appear to be less needy. They appear to be less pushy. They appear to be less controlling. Because the individual was trying to control when in reality they don't need to control. And none of this is about pretending or faking. What we're talking about is transcending the illusions that can only appear in mind by which the individual identifies with and generates the theater of suffering.
As the individual, each time takes those opportunities. Again, Mark 11:24, "Pray as though you have received." Thank you, I have. Not because of this or that external condition. It's not like you pray and then say, "Oh, I'm waiting now for this person to text message me because I prayed and now I just sit here and wait." No waiting. No waiting, no needing, no wanting, no craving. It stops right away. So it gets to a point where you no longer desire anything to be a particular way
in order for you to experience love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment. Because you have remained as you are, complete as you are, whole as you are. Perfect love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment. Now, does that mean that the individual stops experiencing life? Not from my experience. I still experience life. I still appear to be an entrepreneur. I still...
have a wonderful lifestyle. I still have a lavish, steady, dependable income consistent with integrity and mutual benefit. And again, speaking about that auto-suggestion, I have a lavish, steady, dependable income. That is reality. Everyone appears to be, I trust you noticed this in entrepreneurship, it's a big theater. People provide products, services, people buy the products and services, fair value exchange.
It is only through identification to particular beliefs of lack or limitation that generates the suffering in entrepreneurship. So you can release that conditioning. You don't need that conditioning in mind. You can be as you are without the thought of limitation, without the thought of lack.
And the source of the thought of lack or limitation is not God. It is I. I is the source of that. I can do this. I can think this. I can think for myself. I can do this. I can do that. I can think whatever way I want to think. Yet the question is, do I really think for myself? Now that we know that the self is love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment, any thought that
that suggests that I lack love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment. That I am not all that I desire to be. That I don't have what I desire. That we are not in harmony. Our illusory thoughts. You see it. They're unreal thoughts. And as you no longer identify with them, by not identifying with them in the mind, as you transcend them, I transcend these thoughts. I can witness these thoughts, yes, yet I transcend them. The thoughts appear to disappear. And as the thoughts appear to disappear,
reality is experienced perfect as it is. I am the way, the way of life is flow. So in relation to this, we could say that the thoughts if identified with of limitation can play out as theater. The beliefs of lack limitation, lacking love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment in whatever shape or form can play out as theater. What is also playing out as theater is the reality of God, which is perfect as it is.
unconditional love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment. So what we're doing is we're releasing the identifications in mind to those conditions placed upon consciousness to allow the perfect reality, the absolute reality of God to play out as theater, as it was in the beginning, now and ever shall be. It is only the conditions in mind placed upon consciousness that can distort reality. And so how do we do it? Well, we acknowledge that we have
what we desire. Mark 11:24. We already are all that we desire. So then the individual does not place conditions in mind suggesting that this or that condition needs to be met externally in order to experience love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment. And also if there is conditioning in mind, no shame, no condemnation,
we are presented with opportunities, we could say, to return back to the source, to release that conditioning in mind placed upon consciousness, that illusory conditioning, which again is suggesting lack of love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment, or suggesting that an external condition needs to be met in order to experience love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment. And so the way we do that is do nothing. I've been saying that a lot recently because we could say it doesn't get any easier than that.
Do you think God made it hard for us to find God? Absolutely not. That's illusory. The easiest way to find God is to do nothing, to not identify with those thoughts of limitation, to return back to the source, to acknowledge the stillness that pervades all existence. You, the perfect you, the pure you that is beyond the thoughts, beyond the emotions, beyond "I",
beyond the illusions of I, the perfect you that exists as all that is in harmony, you that is in harmony with all, for I to witness. So in other words, I can witness myself as love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment, by abiding as thyself that transcends the illusory limitations, by returning to the source. That's how you do it, the stillness.
Identify with no thought. Thoughts may appear to disappear. Emotions may arise to subside. The world may appear to move, yet you remain the same. Who are you? And where do you spring from? And in the moment, you experience yourself as love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment. It's experiential. You experience love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment for no reason. And then remain as you are. And as you remain as you are,
Perfectly as you are in the silence now, you acknowledge that the silence is accessible at any moment as the only real moment is now. As you acknowledge that the silence is accessible at any moment as the only real moment is now, the experience of love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment, embodiment expands and multiplies. I seem to dissolve.
I seem to return back to the source as there was nothing wrong with I. I thought I was lacking something. Yet, I now know, practically speaking, that I am all that I desire to be. I have all that I desire. Thus, any thoughts that oppose or beliefs that oppose love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment are clearly not real. Those appear to disappear. Mind is purified.
As you abide as you are in the stillness, there may be thoughts that appear in mind that suggest, how could this be true? And what I notice happens is those thoughts no longer appear. And they no longer appear for a reason, we could say. Why? Because you have found all that you desire. You have realized that you are the love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment that you were seeking for.
That is thy self beyond limitation, beyond condition, thy infinite self, thus infinite love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment. And not to limit thy self with limited interpretations of love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment, rather to point to the experience of self as real love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment when I relate it to everything that I've experienced in this world. And as you and I are no different, you can do the same as well. This is exactly what I did.
And what happens is I still have the experiences of life. I still experience love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment with snowboarding, for example, with the playa car ruins, with you as we're having these conversations. Yet it's not based on these appearances. The conditioning in mind has dissolved. In other words, let's say if this trip got rescheduled, I would still remain as I am.
I would not be affected by the trip cancellation or trip rescheduling. Snowboarding is one of my favorite activities. Yet we're in spring now. I don't miss it. While I experience snowboarding, I enjoy it. I experience love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment with it. While I'm not snowboarding, I still experience love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment because it's not based on condition. So again, the practical benefit for the human being
is articulated as I am the way. So I am love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment. And the way is love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment. And the way appears as flow. While you're in flow, there is no illusions of separation. I does not exist while in flow. Bruce Lee said it one time, there is no enemy because the word I does not exist. While you're in flow, I does not exist. There's no me versus you, us versus them.
my eye, your eye, the other person's eye, that's illusory while in flow. The real experience suggests, we could say, that it's illusory, that I is illusory. So while in flow, everything appears to be in harmony, undeniably. Everything appears to be in your favor, undeniably. People appear to be in harmony. And this experience multiplies, spreads out,
and is experienced more so with increasing frequency on a continuous basis as far as the senses perceive. So I trust you found this video to be helpful. Let's conclude this with an auto-suggestion to further encourage.
You could say, as I abide in the stillness, I know that I am complete, whole, love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment. Everything that I once desired, everything that I once seeked for, I found it within and as myself, as love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment. As I remain as I am, I can be as I am.
more so each moment with increasing frequency on a continuous basis as far as the senses perceive as i am the way and the way of life is flow thus everything and everyone appears to be in harmony with me as i am in harmony with all
