The Temple is Here - 2024-07-20

Moojibaba takes us by the hand into fresh step-by-step inquiry—everything, every thought, suggestion, image or sensation presented is still perceivable from a deeper place. All that is required is to have enough trust to apply the simplicity of this guidance. 

‘What do you have to do to be? Or is it more what you have to do to stop becoming. There is no end to the becoming, and there is no start to being… The simplicity is this. Abide in this, and bear the itch to be pulled into the mind-field…The scenes can keep on changing but the seer is unchanging. Come to know that.’

The Eternal Now

Choose Your Company - 2024-07-28

This is an exploration of direct experience of the mind body world. Everything points to the single reality from which it arises… know what I mean?

In the Mind Body World of Awareness

Moojibaba shares the core of his teaching, beyond time, space or concept. He brings us the very present opportunity and direct way to find Truth – as he has done throughout these decades of sharing Satsang – and inspires a re-dedication of our hearts to This. 

“For one minute, try to be only awareness. Let the mind stuff happen, but don’t feed it or identify with it. Be aware of it, but also be aware that you are being aware. Just for one minute. There is something inside you that is not pushed about by the mind, it causes witnessing of the mind to happen, but it’s quite apart. Just this. What is your experience?”

Nonduality - SOULMEEX 088

Original lines and those taken from Jim Harrison, Walt Whitman, Zhuangzi, Dōgen, Jennie Kinneberg Wrisley, and others:

Thus begins another day for which I am overflowing with gratitude.
Great is my fortune and grateful I am for this life, my family, my friends, my health, and my opportunities.

I celebrate myself and the world and I celebrate that I am the world, my family, my friends, my strangers, the highest and lowest creatures, rock, loam, and lichen, countless earths and suns.
I see that the world is hidden in the world, nothing to be lost.
And what I achieve, the world achieves.
I am earth and soil cycling, sun cycling, worm cycling, mushroom cycling, air and water cycling—a non-dual eye of the world cycling.
I see that carrying self forward to illuminate the myriad things is delusion; the myriad things coming forth and illuminating self is awakening.
I am not the center, but each of the ten directions simultaneously the center.

Thus begins another day for which I am overflowing with gratitude.
I am here to be curious, not consoled; consciousness is the gift of the gods.
Beauty and love and wonder and reverence are everything.
Nature is god breathing.
Breathing out:  life given, creation.
Breathing in:  life taken back, death.

Thus begins another day for which I am overflowing with gratitude.
And I, now _____ years old in perfect health, rooted in the present moment, endeavor to engage today overflowing with curiosity and openness, hopeful but without expectation.
I overflow with love and overflow with affirmation of the world—glorious would be eternal return.
I welcome sorrow as equally as I welcome joy.
Seeing the deep ground of grief as necessary to the rest.
Everything is a gift and nothing lasts.
And grace is the act of looking when the head wants to turn.

Thus begins another day for which I am overflowing with gratitude.
May I engage every moment playfully, earnestly as an end in itself, full of wonder, full of praise.
May I be mindful of my motivations and skillful at letting go of attachments.
May I overflow with generosity, an outward eye for prosperity, always taking the lesser, whether in quantity or quality.
May I have the strength and patience to keep to the long-view, to hold to long-term values and ends, and not succumb to short-term desires or petty pleasures.
May I forgive myself my wrongs as I forgive others’.When all is done, may I accept what comes.

Thus begins another day for which I am overflowing with gratitude.
Sacred is this day.

Daily Song

This is the way the path of discovery works— when we least expect it, this rare, strange thing happens: right in the middle of the day the moon passes in front of the sun, and suddenly the day becomes night... and inside becomes outside… and something beyond everything goes YES.

Totality of Experience

life is like music, god added your instrument because he loves you. whenever you feel out of tune turn to the almighty composer and return to harmony within your heart, mind body and soul!

make some music! sing your song! manifest your dreams into reality and be as you are! one with the almighty father. Amen

CRYSTALLINE

Throughout this satsang, Moojibaba imparts timeless teachings that point directly to the heart of being. 

"If the person is being spoken about, it must imply that there is something more subtle than person. Before you entered into form, the Supreme whispered something deep inside your being. Now it’s time to remember and awaken to it. Keep the fire of yearning to respond to grace. This call and response is coming from within you - it begins with faith and trust. Develop a little discipline, because grace is responding to your deeper ‘yes.’ "

We Came to This World to Awaken to the Eternal

Simon Mundie is an author, BBC Sports Reporter, and host of “A New Way of Being” Podcast. 
 
After spending many years covering elite level sports and getting to know many of the world’s leading athletes personally, Simon began to see parallels between what he was witnessing on the sporting field and what he was learning about from the ancient nondual wisdom tradition.

He’s recently published a book exploring this connection, which this interview focuses on. 

Expect to learn: 

— Why success isn’t always synonymous with happiness and what we would be wiser to aim for instead. 

— The key spiritual insights that can be gained from studying the lives of elite level athletes 

— The importance of doing things for their own sake, and not being overly fixated on the outcome.

And more.

Nonduality: Sport as Spiritual Practice — Simon Mundie

This satsang took place at the Feira Alternativa Festival in Lisbon, Portugal, where many seekers of Truth had their first opportunity to meet Moojibaba in person and bring forward their questions. Whether you are new to Mooji’s teachings or already familiar with his wisdom, this satsang offers a rich buffet of insights and guidance for all. 

In closing, Moojibaba leads the 'Just Be' exercise, guiding us into the direct experience of our timeless, ever-present being.

Transcend Your Own Mind and the World Will Not Trouble You

During this morning with Moojibaba, we experience spontaneous existence as it unfolds in the presence of the Master. Throughout all of the encounters that take place, we witness and experience the grace of Self-knowledge: where knowing and being are one.

“We are meant to find the Unity first, and then it manifests through the diversity. But we are attracted to the diversity, and we lose sight of the Unity.

Open to the possibility that God Consciousness is unlimited. Open to the possibility of welcoming the unlimited in yourself. You already carry the 
seed—you are the seed."

Find the Eden of Your Heart

This inquiry is an urgent investigation into what is true beyond all appearances. Moojibaba emphasises the need for a mature seeker of Truth to be willing to let go of attachment to personal identity—not as a mental or philosophical exercise—and discover that which is beyond the relative world.

With compassion and clarity, he guides us to see that much of what we consider to be our 'self'—our thoughts, feelings and even the person we think we are—are impermanent and unreliable. The seeming solidity of our personal identity is questioned, revealing that it is ultimately perceived by something far more stable, pure, and timeless.

‘Nothing is going to satisfy you—Thank God! Nothing in the universe is going to satisfy you. Nothing at all. Until you find your Self.’

How to Find That Which Cannot Be Seen?

Independent record label and weekly mix series engineered by DCSIS (@dcsis).

These tracks are contemplations or guided meditations that come from exploring present moment experience. What you discover in these explorations might be very different than what I’m suggesting, and it's important for you to honor that, and follow it wherever it takes you.

When we discover something to be true then it has the possibility of changing us in a fundamental way. It has the possibility of awakening us to a new way of being. That's what counts. In a moment of discovery there’s often the feeling of surprise, even astonishment. 

Some of the meditations are directed toward people who are new to exploring life in this way, and some are directed to the old dogs like me who have been wandering these woods for a long time. Hopefully someday I will find a way to make it clear which is which, though I'm not sure it matters.

And as to the title of this page, Essence of Awareness is a small online group of friends exploring together this precious human life. It's about making discoveries and awakening to real freedom, real love, and real happiness. What else could we want?

Recently started making music again. First started recording in the mid to late 90s on a Fostex Fourtrack. Not great stuff but a lot of fun.

The Weekend University aims to make the best psychology lectures available to the general public.

To do this, we organise 'lecture days', on the last Sunday of each month, where you get a full day of talks from leading psychologists, university professors and authors.

This podcast features in-depth interviews with our speakers, so you can learn more about their work.
