Mooji guides a short meditation directing attention back to its source — the detached witness aware of thoughts, feelings, and body without identifying with any of them. He points to the spacious quality of pure awareness as our natural, unconditioned state.

Transcript

Remain As You Are Beloved one, I have something to share with you right now. You're aware of yourself, you know that you exist, naturally. All this world you can see. The senses are very much with you, they're with the body, the sense of smell, of taste, of sight, of hearing, of feeling. The power to remember or to know things, all of this is with you. And you are not to reject anything at all. Don't judge anything, let everything just be. Just like you are, right here, now. I only ask for your attention. Let everything that happens happen. But right now, I'm asking you simply to not identify with anything at all. I'm not asking you to judge the things or to be cynical about life. Simply do not identify. Stay completely detached. So although the body is here, the world is seen, the senses are working, but you are only aware. You are not the body, you're not the thoughts, you're not the feelings, you're not your mind or any thought, as though you are totally invisible. So without holding on to anything at all, even though you can perceive, you're aware of them, but without any identity. What I'm sharing with you is right now. Already you see, when you don't identify with anything at all, there's already deep spaciousness inside. Well, actually, it's not limited to inside. Don't attach even to inside or outside. Feel just how without size you are, how limitless. Do not identify with any picture. Don't use your imagination. Just simply, like I say, not identifying with the body or with anything you perceive, you're here. This is very mysterious, that without identifying with anything, you are here. Or you are just aware. Look how it is to be just aware. How spacious. Peaceful. Happy. Without time. This, that you are experiencing now, is here all the time. You did not create it. It is here. But mostly we are not aware of it because our attention goes to the mind and the memory and the personal identity. When we go to these and we identify with the body and the mind and thoughts and so on, then it's as though this, that you are now, that you are and are experiencing, feels like it doesn't exist, it's hidden. Simply like that. The more you spend time conscious of your Self here, without identifying with anything, and this is a secret, this is a mystery, you find that whatever is happening, yes, you can do, you can walk, you can speak with people, you can do the work you have to do, you can sit down, you can do whatever has to happen. It happens very naturally. But you're still always present here, inside. Sit with this for a while. It will not go away. It cannot go anywhere because it is everywhere. Wherever you go, this remains as it is. And look, you cannot really see it, you cannot smell it, you cannot taste it, you cannot touch it, you cannot hear it. It's much, much more pure. But because you're here, the senses are working, you can hear, seeing, touching, tasting, feeling, all these are happening naturally. And they're happening because of this. This does not go away. Only when your attention awakens and goes to identify, then it's as though this is hidden from you. Would you want to live with this purity, as this purity, this silence, this joy, this peace, this openness? Or to exchange it for a lot of thinking and worrying, busyness, excitedness and fear? Of course not. How wonderful you are as your Self. And this is your Self. Look, your Self is not doing anything to be your Self. There is no technique of how to be. Just remember and be this. Fall in love with it. Protect it from the mind. Don't keep going into the identity and all of this, you will see, remains always with you, as you. Thank you. Copyright 2023 Mooji Media Ltd.
