Q: I am in a very relaxed place all there really is, is this discovery: ‘How is it is it to be or do or see or feel something?’ And : ‘Who is it that is really here?’ In this expansion all is utterly joyful but then I kind of remember 'things' and this urge to function comes. Can you speak a little about this?
B: Yes, and maybe differently to what the mind may think function is. Function is quite natural. It's easy to see how function is quite natural. Do you have to function your heart beating ? No. It's quite natural. Do you have to function breathing ? No. It's quite natural. The whole body functions quite naturally without a doing of this.
I am saying that in very much the same way you don't have to think about function. The world has taught you to think about 'You', about That that cannot be thought about. You cannot think about 'You'. You cannot .
When you’re taught to think about ‘You’, your brain thinks that you are ‘the doing through thinking’ and thinking, if you look, it is always in the past, in some past action.
So, somehow thought and function have been thinking and functioning as if they are 'You' and that is the pattern that has got into the body-mind and overlaid your gorgeousness, your wonder, your innocence.
Many people on this planet think and function as if they're ‘someone’ and it's not the truth .
That's why we as humanity are really quite unhappy or distorted or ‘less than we know we could be’. It is because we think far too much about doing something , yet the whole universe is the expression of what we ARE without thinking or doing .
I will endeavour to express what I mean by this:
Quite naturally What You Are, which is pure bright black Awareness moved to know itself and Light happened.
You Awareness, move and Light happens and that Light, its movement on every realm that is manifest, is a function of You realising You. The entire cosmos is about Self realising itself, stars, planets, life and death, all of it is Self realising itself. And within that there is natural function.
As Awareness, you and I, really start to rest, a function happens that is nothing short of a miracle. Things start to come our way that the mind might say are a coincidence but what it actually is, is a coming together of our interior and of our existence emerging.
So as we truly begin to rest at the level of the heart, Awareness, both the hemispheres of the brain, the left and right, rest. They are the masculine and feminine instruments of divine perception. That's what is yin-yang in all of us. When the brain, left and right hemisphere, is rested pure direction and pure life begin to emerge in the spacious consciousness of I AM.
We begin to awaken to our immediate Awareness, our immediate intelligence and the deeper realms of our pure Being and the function is exhilarating and joyful, blissful and natural. The whole body belongs to that and is manifested in that profundity of Light and brightness. That is what we are.
So as you rest, there are natural abilities and when the brain is rested, the principles of that Oneness-light begin to live as you, already merged, already joined.
Then, when you touch your hand for instance, what is actually happening is that You, black shining Awareness moves this Light, your Real Self , creates worlds beyond world and then ‘Bang!’, those worlds now exist here in human form.
All that is happening in that touch and you are receiving…This body is completely full with that Goodness. Overlaid on it is this thought that you can only act through thinking, yet you Awareness create a literally separate organism called 'me', an overlay over what you deeply are.
That's what we are endeavouring to dissolve, through right knowledge, right life and the habit of belonging to our deeper Self-knowledge. It must be your habit and it must be worth living for, otherwise the image of you will override and overshadow everything.
So when you begin to rest, the joy of You naturally spills over and the unformed levels of You, like liquid gold, begin to fill this level up.
That activates the pineal gland, activates your deeper level of intelligence to manifest in sense perception those unseen levels. That's the You that you experience in your heart when you walk out of your house and you see your garden as if for the first time, and you have been walking out of that room for ten or twenty years.
That is the joy you experience when you see your lover you have been with for many years. Suddenly you see them new. That is the joy you experience when you just walk down the street, the street you have walked for so long with people that you think you know and suddenly everything is shining. You have united the hemispheres of your brain with the one you truly are.
From that moment onwards your limited self is undone. From then on, as long as you remember what you are, a whole brand-new life, even if you live at the same address, begins to shine and exist.
