The Key to Freedom — Mooji

[music] It seems all of this comes from my heart. >> Yes. What it mean all of this? All of this what comes from your heart? All of the manifest. >> Okay. >> You. >> Yes. >> But there's a strong >> And you too. And you too. >> This body perhaps. >> Okay. Your body is not trouble. There's a bigger trouble in that body than the body. >> Sorry, I don't understand. uh the unquestioned identity of personhood and even though it seems it can even play the game of self-questing and don't budge. >> You understand? >> Yes. But I point to a very natural awareness which so naturally cannot be seen because it is that which is seen which is seeing. We we have come to a really important point. I I want to stay with you and I want to stay with you because you say no I'm kind of fed up I'm kind of I'm kind of fed up of this person and da da da da something. Well, not your exact words. I'm kind of fed up of this. I say okay if you're fed up of the person who are you to be fed up of person what alternative is left if the person says something is fed up of the person is it the self the pure self that's fed up with the person no it is not so who remains because uh the person is the person fed up with itself what is it that's fed up with the person and uh I can take it out of this linear grip and say that the person is not really true. So it is right when something says you know I am so tired of this person and it's I've grown sufficiently matured sufficiently to see that personhood with all this wonderful promises and adventure and and visions and stuff is still a trap of something and uh the one who feels entrapped feels to be me and I'm fed up of it. Can we recede further where the the fedupness what it's fed up with and the identity of the sense of self are onscreen is does this work for you when I speak oncreen do you understand what I mean because it's a really important [clears throat] um tool when I say onscreen what does what is [snorts] what is contained in the unscreen of your life. What is what is contained on when I say on screen what's there every single however subtle a thing is perceived to be even without form maybe the form only of feeling and thought it I call it matter or what is perceivable has it gone too have I gone too crazy so all that I call unscreen then because you have earned the the ability to see. I say may I say that your persona and your identity and history is also onscreen material. >> Who says yes? >> Okay. So I deal with you. See all that and my emotion even the search for truth is unscreen or not. No, not yet. I'm not going to waste this opportunity. Not yet. I'm not taking hands now. If all that is unscreen, then whatever can can admit that is oncreen. Is that on screen? >> That caused the admit. Somebody say yes. um that even I don't want to become so abstract and it becomes a kind of uh a kind of sophisticated mental excuse. >> Let it be real. So if if everything is on screen and anything is anything else likely to come is only visible is visible to something. Is this whatever is left that can verify this is um all this is visible. Does it have an emotional connection with the vision and the and the screen itself? What is the screen? Let me call the screen consciousness and even the witness is to a point is very very subtle. If the material appearing on the screen is of interest and uh the witness still has traces of unscreen thing in it, it's fine. It's fine. It's very still important tool. When you've used this tool, we can see if we can recede beyond this tool. So however subtle um the onscreen activity is and the watcher of the unscreen if the watcher of the unscreen is emotionally connected to the unscreenness that is also on screen or not. Oh, so even that is also witnessed. What remain here? Don't put it into words. Be with it. Even we say it remain but it's not remaining. Are you still here? >> That's what don't give to word. Don't go to words yet. Words should be your least favorite tool right now. Okay. You're not going to get away with word. First uh you you it confirm be confirmed in this that which is seen all that is tangible on screen is that itself tangible. Slow down experience. Don't just answer. Your answers are not as important. First use and and and and be confirmed in yourself before you tell everybody else what you see. [snorts] Are you here or not? And if you are here as what are you here when you now say I is it the same I that has relationships in the world and doing its thing and then is it the same of that caliber or is it still subtler than that? But an intuitive response is yes, I am here. But as what? When everything that is tangible, the elemental world, the psychological world, the physical world, emotional world, philosophical world, religious world, and their content, your personal history, desires, ambition are all onscreen. So when I say the witness of this onscreen, don't clothe this witness into a shape unless the witness as an emotional relationship with unscreen activity here in the seeing. Let's go back to simple hands moving awareness of hand is moving is the awareness moving wind moving. No. Is it if if this is uh signifies the world however subtle time however vast space however vast objects however diverse relationship idea identity philosophy everything religion belief existence non-existence worlds universe physical universe non-physical universe I'm not taking hands right now this d is awareness doing anything here. Is this realization now we running out of words now? Does it have value? Can value too? Is it important realization? Is it just a kind of ah that was wonderful. Let's get back to stuff. Yeah. Yeah. you can go back because when you truly realize you'll see all the things you're trying to navigate and control traffic it it can still be there but it's superficial now it it it's okay in fact it becomes uh beautiful because you're not a prisoner of it you're not employed by it is it is seen that somehow it is somehow unfolding flowing it becomes more beautiful because you take the acidic ingredient out which is your person out of it. You take the trauma out of it. you become a witness although uh I don't know how important this is for you but all your questions are pouring into this and no one is looking to say h now what oh I know go and live in a little hut in the Himalayas by myself no family then they'll be there but now they everything is flowing by the grace of the self and being is very different because all are agitated. If you live only in personal identity, you may have a seeming relative success or failure in the world. It doesn't really count because as the self, you cannot fail or even succeed. It's very different to different reading. But I don't want I'm not appealing to your mind. I'm wondering if you realize that the mind as soon as identity is left unquestioned, you're already in the field of identity. But words alone cannot express. Your heart must be open. You're not going to solve it with uh logic only or study. You must show up. Must present yourself. Offer your existence to existence. You don't have to keep pushing the mind. The best way of using the mind is observing but with detachment. Observe what arises emotionally energetically mentally all these things. But try not to log into them. You can do this even 5 minutes. That's that's more practical. It is very relatable advice. Just go when you can. Don't plan necessarily unless you are the kind of planning type. But if you want to anytime you feel the pull, just go and sit by a tree or whatever on the road. Doesn't matter. You could be in the middle of a city. Just go and find a little bench and sit. Let it all happen. The mind says, "No, this is not a good place." No, it's a perfect place. Let it go all whiz by and things. But find that which is not whizzing by. It's there already. It's no distance. It's only the distance of your attention. Just And it's not a visual attention. It's a choice attention. Just be it. And it may take a while to settle because so many things will come knocking at your door. And just leave them. Don't fight them. Don't say I wish these things would go. No, don't wish anything. Don't wish anything. Don't desire anything. Be empty and and stay. Even if you don't manage anything else, just don't lock into anything. Let them go. But even something is tight, watch tightness, but don't don't purchase tightness. Just just be and unfold into formlessness. And then you can see unaccompanied being just being this. It doesn't need imagination for this little practice and it uh it it enriches itself. Just that nobody tell you because you cannot be manipulated by this. You see just you stay then come back and say Guruji said five minutes I want to stay another five. Okay you stay and feel who you are without first do this. Make no declaration plant no flags. Just do this until your being is feels clear and unoccupied. Put no labels onto yourself. Life gives you this opportunity and sit and clarify your being. Take up no mission for now. Just be empty. Learn to be empty and you will see if anything is really missing. When you're in your mind, you're in agenda. Do this next and sort this out when and then. But this is here and now. Just be 5 minutes. Sit. Then you can get up and go for what you do. Then whenever you like, just go sit five minutes.
