Love your video's, they bring a lot of clarity. Especially the more recent stuff. Not sure if the way you describe this has changed or if I'm just in a different space now where it's resonating more. Listened to the meditation the other night before I slept and woke up with such clarity. Some how it just bypassed my mind which has been pretty rampant recently. Anyways thankyou! Please do more meditations ❤
@@mjm3572 Awesome. This all feels clearer for me now, talking about it I mean, so maybe you're picking up on that, but also it's your own clarity for sure 😄 What I described in this video is kind of what I was going for with the guided meditations. Un-focusing attention from the thought space by bringing attention to the senses. I'm glad it's working for you 🙂🙏
❤Clarification and that weird connection thing is happening in oodles the last couple of days. It's as if you've just described what I experienced yesterday afternoon while walking..... marching along like one of Paul Hedderman's GI Joe's the mind was narrating and chatting shite, noticing it I stop and breath in and out with the environment pulsing and morphing with my breath, thought drops away and I'm completely absorbed by "this"......repeatedly happening, I realise between then and now I'm awake, aware and present and always have been! You said: it's not what you think it is, it may have already happened, it's so simple we overlook it. 😮 I get it, it's a definite "oh that" moment❤
I found so much value in your descriptions.. especially the enjoyment part because it opens the iron grips of the survival system. I know it’s protecting an illusion but that doesn’t seem to stop it automatically.
@@MaryaJohn-x5n Awesome. Yeah when we start accepting what is, rather than looking for something that's not this (including ourselves) then this process becomes enjoyable 🙂
Thank you for taking time to explain this and share your experience. What you said about the transition of being identified with thought expressions as yourself to thoughts becoming just another set of background objects to awareness really resonated. Logically looking at thoughts one can quite easily see that really, they are no different in substance from any other objective appearances/sensations . The problem arises because we give them agency of our own wilful expression and we falsely believe that thoughts are my wilful expression. I have been very astutely looking for that connection between my awareness which I know without doubt that I am, to thoughts, and I can not find any link or connection.
Just to add, I guess at some point the evidence for ' I am not the thoughts' becomes so clear and overwhelming, that thoughts then naturally come to be seen as just another object in awareness (like the trees in the distance, or the sound from afar), without any association with I Am. At that point - I assume - attachment will fall away too, and one clearly realises and knows, that one is just a watcher of the show as opposed to the character in the show.
@@AK11020 Yeah, it's like the suggestion of there being something here apart from experience at all, somehow "in it" as a separate thing. Like the Thinker, the looker, the heater etc.. So in a way, thought becomes more intimate and less at a distance. The same for the rest of experience. It kind of flatten out in a very simple way. 🙂
@@difficult_to_describe Thanks, David. Just reading through your comment now, I felt a strong sense of Deja vous of being this pure sense of experience without a logical overlayed interloper.
Very beautiful reflection.
Your vids are actually very good. I like the pointings.
Hi David
Just wondered if you experianced the intense fear that is often spoken about by a lot of people who have had a self
realisation?

@AK11020 🙂 awesome 🙏
_(cowboy accent)_ I'll be damned...if it isn't the clearest man on earth
@@pointlessly.perfect But it's actually your own clarity 😀
