MEETINGS IN THE LIGHT
Why do we have
MEETINGS IN THE LIGHT?
At some moment,
the Stillness around you
becomes so vast
that it overflows the mind.
…
A silent Presence fills the space.
…
And there is a shift—
a separation between
thoughts passing
and the pure sense of Being.
…
When this is seen clearly,
you know:
this Presence
is deeper than the “me”
you believed yourself to be.
…
A question rises—
not from the mind,
but from the core of Being:
Who am I?
Am I this person
I have carried for so long?
Or am I the unbounded field
of timeless Presence?
…
If the moment is ripe,
the mind stops—
perhaps only for a breath.
…
And in that still breath,
you are no longer
the person you thought you were.
…
You are the open field—
pure Awareness,
in which all things
come and go.
…
The separate self
is nowhere to be found.
…
And yet
You remain—
boundless,
clear,
radiant.
The light of this knowing
is undeniable.
…
No belief,
no past experience,
can cover it.
…
The body and mind
become a doorway
through which
Being knows Itself again.
…
It can happen
when you are hearing this.
The reality you thought you knew
changes.
…
A new dimension—
always here,
yet unseen—
reveals itself.
…
From here,
the veil of concepts,
beliefs,
and perceptions
falls away.
…
The truth
was never hidden—
only overlooked.
…
Many spiritual moments
may come before this—
waves of bliss,
visions of light,
oneness with what is seen.
…
They can be beautiful,
transforming.
…
Yet it is easy
to cling to the experience
and miss the One
who is aware of it.
…
When Awakening happens,
it is not an experience gained
but an identity lost.
…
The “me” dissolves.
What remains
is Awareness itself—
untouched,
unending.
Spiritual experiences pass.
Awakening does not.
…
And still—
this is only the beginning.
…
From here,
Consciousness unfolds
its own infinity—
subtler,
vaster,
more luminous.
…
Treasures appear:
gems of wisdom,
jewels of beauty,
oceans of love,
rivers of joy.
…
The treasure is endless.
In the spiritual world
there is much talk
of stages,
levels,
planes to ascend—
as though climbing
toward a distant peak.
…
This is the mind’s view—
the view of the traveller.
…
From Awareness itself
there are no levels,
no stairs to climb.
…
Only the wholeness
that has always been.
…
Awakening
is not the reward
for reaching a certain height.
…
It can open in an instant,
regardless of where you think you stand.
…
Pure Awareness
is beyond the pure and impure,
beyond the holy and unholy.
It is what allows
all experience to appear.
…
Before Awakening,
we can taste
its silence and its aliveness.
…
Meditation may reveal
its still depths
or its radiant currents.
But to know
what Consciousness is—
we must be it.
…
It is the difference
between touching the ocean
and becoming the ocean.
…
Higher States of Consciousness
are the widening views
that Awareness has of Itself
after Awakening—
its own Self-revelation,
its own infinite play.
…
They cannot be imagined.
…
The mind cannot grasp them.
…
They are the language
of the Unspoken.
The language of Silence.
…
Speaking of these states
is not meant
to give the mind
another concept to hold.
…
It is to open a window
to the whole of your existence.
…
They are the true way
reality is seen
when Consciousness
comes to rest
in its own fullness.
…
Simply hearing of them
with innocence
can be enough.
…
A word,
spoken from the stillness of Awakening,
may touch
what has been waiting
in the depths of your Being.
…
It is not the mind that receives.
…
It is not the intellect that understands.
…
It is your innermost Self—
recognising Itself
in the sound.
…
After Awakening,
there are shifts
that cannot be missed.
…
The view widens—
as though Consciousness
has stepped back
into a vaster space
from which it sees itself.
…
Once a shift is clear,
it does not fade.
…
It is as if
it had always been there.
…
Each state is whole,
complete in itself.
From within one,
it is hard to imagine
anything beyond.
…
Only when the next unfolds
Does the truth
reveal itself again.
…
Within each state
perception can also refine—
becoming so clear
that the universal Intelligence
behind every moment
is felt directly.
…
This refined seeing
is the vision of
Consciousness
being conscious of itself.
…
The first awakening
is the turning point—
from being
a person who is aware
to being
Awareness itself.
…
The separate self dissolves.
…
The true, unbounded Self
remains.
…
It is peace without opposite.
…
It is freedom without end.
…
Within this state,
perception may refine—
revealing the subtle flows of Intelligence
that form
the body
and all appearances.
…
This is sometimes called
God Consciousness—
the seeing of creation
from the inside out.
…
Then—
a greater recognition.
Awareness sees
it is not only the witness,
but also
everything witnessed.
The subject and object
are one.
…
Being
is all that is seen.
…
All that is seen
is Being.
…
Beyond even this
is the mystery—
Nothing,
Everything,
before existence.
…
The source
from which creation
draws its power.
…
As refinement continues,
the pure Cause
of Consciousness itself
is unveiled.
…
She appears
as the radiant Mother,
as Pure Divinity,
as the Supreme.
…
The heart recognises Her.
And there is nothing
outside Her.
…
These states of Consciousness
are not inventions of the mind.
…
They are wider perspectives
of the one reality—
clearer ways of seeing
what has always been here.
…
In full enlightenment,
Being and non-Being,
the personal
and the universal—
all are lived
in the simplicity
of ordinary life.
…
As Consciousness opens
to broader perspectives
and finer perception,
the body and mind
find a deeper balance.
…
Even now,
as you rest in the Stillness
that surrounds you,
your body is adjusting.
…
The mind becomes clearer,
quieter,
more open.
…
The body—
more relaxed,
yet more alive.
…
The deeper the Presence,
the greater the change.
…
The body learns
to live in this Silence.
…
When the shift to pure Awareness comes,
the body must change
its way of functioning
to hold this clarity.
…
This can be gentle—
or intense.
With every opening of Consciousness,
the body adjusts.
…
It is natural.
…
It is part of integration.
…
What is called “normal”
in the unawakened state
is not normal at all.
…
To live as “only a person”
is to live
in a construct—
a mind-made cage.
…
To maintain this illusion
takes effort.
…
It strains the body,
pulls on the mind,
and drains life.
…
Because mind and body
are one system,
the body constantly
tries to match
the mind’s false image
of a separate self.
…
It struggles to heal
and to hold itself together
under the weight of this belief.
…
In this effort,
stress and imbalance
sink into the nervous system.
…
The body contracts,
yet also tries to heal,
to return to balance.
…
The mind mirrors this—
filled with waves of thought,
many repetitive,
many without purpose.
…
These thoughts
are often the echo
of the body’s attempt
to release stress.
…
When a deep tension
begins to dissolve,
a mood may rise in the mind.
…
And the mind,
not knowing the cause,
will attach it to a memory,
a situation,
a story.
…
These stress-born moods
colour how we see,
how we act,
how we speak.
…
Without knowing
what is truly happening,
these thoughts and moods
become normal in the world.
…
Most people live
so deeply caught in the mind
that they cannot see
the difference
between an ordinary thought
and a thought
born from the body’s healing.
…
When a thought or mood
arising from stress release
is acted upon,
the healing stops.
…
The mood deepens.
…
Look around.
…
Most words spoken,
most actions taken,
are driven by thoughts and moods
that come from
the release of stress—
misunderstood,
acted upon.
…
Misunderstanding becomes quarrel.
…
Quarrel becomes conflict.
…
Conflict becomes war.
…
It is the same movement,
whether between two people
or two nations—
the mind acting out
what the body is trying to let go.
…
This is suffering.
…
One way to ease this cycle
is the regular return
to effortless stillness—
meditation
that gives the body
deep rest
while the mind
remains awake.
…
In this rest,
deep stresses dissolve.
The body heals.
…
The mind clears.
When Awakening comes,
those restless thoughts and moods
fade.
…
Peace and stability
become natural.
…
Silent joy
becomes the ground
of every moment.
…
Meditation then
is not for finding the Self—
the Self is already known—
but for refining the body
so it may shine
with the ease
and sweetness
of that knowing.
…
It is possible—
hearing this—
to awaken now.
…
If it happens,
you will not doubt.
…
You will not need to ask.
…
It will be as natural
as seeing the sun
after the clouds part.
…
It only asks
innocence.
Openness.
