[0:00] The

[0:05] Thank you.

[1:37] And we always feel a bit out of contact, as if there's somewhere to go.

[1:48] Something to achieve.

[1:55] And conversely, that there's something missing, that we've come from somewhere, and we're

[2:04] moving through linear time.

[2:11] These sorts of beliefs are fraught with struggle, angst, frustration, anticipation, doubt.

[2:28] But they are simply beliefs.

[2:33] When we see that there's no identity intrinsic to those beliefs, they are mere thoughts, and

[2:50] immediately become weightless, unobtrusive, unconcerning.

[3:04] Not something we have to manage.

[3:19] So we can turn our attention away from the thoughts.

[3:27] Or perhaps just readjust the focus.

[3:31] And then we're staring directly into the mysterious, the unknowable.

[3:48] That which is not bound by time.

[3:55] Not bound by time.

[3:59] Not bound by distance.

[4:02] Not bound by separation.

[4:09] Not bound by relation.

[4:26] Not bound by interrupting goal to enquiring.

[4:26] Not bound by time.

[4:26] Not bound by that person.

[4:30] Not bound by time.

[4:33] Not probability.

[4:41] We're staring directly into a mysterious, which is not subject to our interpretations.

[4:56] Our interpretations fall flat here.

[5:00] We can't push or pull on it.

[5:09] There's nothing to struggle with here.

[5:32] There's nothing to gain or lose here.

[6:04] The mystery is all we ever wanted.

[6:11] Because we wanted to be freed of that struggle, the need to understand, the need to control experience.

[6:45] We wanted to be freed of the need to worry.

[7:00] Read from the need to anticipate.

[7:08] Read from the need to hesitate.

[7:19] Thank you.

[7:51] ouvert

[7:59] Here we can let go

[8:00] of all aspects

[8:09] of the need for familiarity.

[8:17] We can let go of our failures.

[8:22] Let go of our successes.

[8:31] Let go of idealized states.

[8:52] Let go of our failures.

[9:24] It's already here.

[9:25] Here we go.

[9:56] There's a part of experience, the mystery threaded throughout all of experience that doesn't need anything, doesn't grasp for anything, doesn't push anything away.

[10:23] You can feel it.

[10:27] It's in your bones, muscles.

[10:34] It's in the air around you.

[10:41] It's in the sound.

[10:50] It's in the silence.

[10:57] Non-grasping.

[11:01] Non-pushing.

[11:11] No analysis.

[11:25] Not defined by location.

[11:34] So it's in the most intimate place inside and the most vast space outside.

[11:56] Not even the slightest wrinkle in perception here.

[12:10] No aspect moving against any other aspect.

[12:14] No.

[12:48] Grasping.

[12:49] No.

[13:01] Thank you.

[14:15] Even thought is silent here.

[14:23] Even movement is unmoving here.

[14:35] Even sound is silent here.

[14:48] Form is empty here.

[14:58] Color is colorless here.

[15:11] The known is unknown here.

[15:14] Thank you.
