Presence

Florian Schlosser

This video is a 30 minute interview, taken during the SAND Science & NonDuality Conference in San Rafael, California in Oct 2010. It covers 8 fundamental subjects on being consciousness, embodiment, resting, habitual functioning, identification, the sense of 'I', natural presence and oneness. Enjoy the exploration.

Unfortunately, as is often the case, what I mean to express gets obscured by too many words. By the “simultaneity of existence” all I meant to convey is my realization there is no path or way for me to find, insofar as I am my own path, in a manner of speaking. And I believe that is how it is for each of “us.” Everything and everyone is a portal to presence. And in this way I discover, recover, remember, or recognize that I am, we are, life itself. There really are no mistakes and no gaps in life. Or so it seems to me. It simply is as it is, and during any given day I experience loss, suffering, grief, confusion, joy, happiness, contentment, anger, disappointment and loving-kindness in varying portions and varying durations. This is it. And accepting or rejecting, embracing or avoiding is it as well. How could it really be otherwise?

Can it be this simple?

Mooji often speaks about spending some minutes each day, or as often as possible, to contemplate the unassociated “I AM”. In these videos, he takes this one step further and points to this recognition as being the “only remedy for the suffering on the planet”.

To add any personal thoughts would be redundant.  "Everything" is in that which Mooji speaks in these videos. These three videos comprise one complete satsang dialogue (separated into three to remain within the time limits of YouTube).

The Only Remedy for Suffering on the Planet ~ Mooji

Part One:

Spun Gold’ was published against the backdrop of a glorious sunset by dear Katie Davis and Sundance Burke in the January 2010 edition of their beautiful newsletter “Friends of the Heart” — Friends of the Heart January 2010

A house divided in itself cannot stand.

I felt the Truth, yet spoke of illusion,

falling back into dream,

pretending I could be suggested to of ‘otherness,’

when all along

Spun Gold’s Immanence

functions flawlessly.

Perfection never challenges itself,

so why would I?

By listening to the serpent,

I veiled myself in Ignorance,

traded in my Identity for nothingness

that could never become Substance.

STOP to these foolish games played by no-one!

Spun Gold it was all along,

all of it, this body, mistaken as an obstacle to Peace,

these politics, countries, people, weather, food,

oh, how many times did the serpent’s whisper appear as

these innocent images

that yearn to be truly recognized again,

longing to serve only THAT

that they, too, can’t but BE.

Faint memories of being the Master weaver reappear.

Fierce, loyal, strong and fearless do I stand Alone-Once.

Gently, tenderly allowing All to be Itself again.

The shining sea of Spun Gold collapses

and only total Openness remains,

non-definable, ungraspable

Silence.

Eternally Being Pure Light,

I have never been anything else.

"Else" is THIS, too,

as all appears in me, Infinite, Pure Awareness

and cannot have qualities apart from my True Being.

Seeing this, heart and mind combined, is

Pure Alchemy, transforming all things.

My Oneness lies in my Allness.

I AM prior to all that appears,

pure I-Principle,

Simple Grace.

Hello, dear Richard and friends,

my name is Maren Springsteen and I just love your site-great job!

What an incredible wealth of jewels that directly point to the Heart of Pure Awareness,
bless you, dear Richard, for sharing your beautiful work with us all!
I am happy to contribute whenever time allows and send you all much Love.

Recently, after the longest 'time' on the 'path' for so many years, mind organically collapsed back into Source and since, all is seen/felt only as that Same Self shining.

With that, after harsh illness for 2 years, came a gentle restructuring of the body's molecules that is palpable here and was confirmed by my lovely 3rd degree Reiki Master without saying anything from this end as just stunned into Silence.

Slowly, all is reintegrating, rivers become rivers again and mountains mountains:)

Ever since, non dual poems are flowing through this form, with clear guidance that contemplated slowly, they would serve as pointers to abiding as Pure Awareness only, in a gentle, joyful manner sans the unnecessary suffering this form went through.

As our beloved Jac O'Keeffe reminded, the time for suffering is over and our birthright can be 'reclaimed by no one' almost effortlessly NOW and all that remains as real is THIS in its indescribably Beauty and Splendor.

All Love!
