Letting Go

You have to want to be free more than anything else. You have to have let go of the world, the material world. Your ego's narrative, your personal story. Your emotional psychological attachment and identification with that story. You have to be more in love with the inconceivable and unimaginable nature of the absolute. And the thing is, the inconceivable and unimaginable nature of the absolute cannot be seen and cannot be imagined. So, the only way to be able to truly know it is by letting go of absolutely everything else. And if you or one or I, any one of us is able to let go so deeply and so unconditionally of everything else other than that the miracle will happen and that will be available to us in all kinds of ways that the mind can't conceive of. It's having a relationship with that which is unimaginable and inconceivable ungraspable and ultimately none other than other than who we always already are anyway. But that's a very difficult thing to understand with the rational mind. I think to be honest um the only way we can support letting go is by letting go unconditionally and absolutely. Anything less than that is ultimately beside the point. But if we have let go absolutely and unconditionally the meditative experience, the meditative process will be experienced as an amplification of the truth itself. The truth itself is that you are already always free and that God is the only reality. So, from an absolute perspective, from the perspective of enlightenment itself the only support is the thing itself. And the degree to which we've let go unconditionally and absolutely and surrendered that much that will be available to us and then any moment of focus concentration will illuminate and make more obvious the non-dual context or the absolute context, the infinite context the inconceivable context that we're always in. Any moment of concentration, any moment of stillness any moment of deep joy any moment that uh cracks the illusion of solidity and seamlessness that the world appears to us that the world appears to be most of the time. Any moment there's a little crack what what will be seen, felt, and experienced immediately, directly is that there's only God and that God is the only reality. God is the substratum of all things of all things and all times and all circumstances which is so easy to forget. So so if we haven't yet let go absolutely and unconditionally meditation will just be a meditation will be always nothing more than a relative experience of depth even. And that's why a lot of people uh haven't taken this this leap can seem to go on forever going in circles never getting off the wheel. The only way to get off the wheel the wheel that's a bit of a refer to is by getting off it unconditionally, absolutely, and irrevocably. And then life continues. The process continues and hopefully conscious evolution continues. But even but even that will be occurring in a context of a freedom that has already been realized and cannot be improved upon because it's an absolute static truth or reality. I want to make a distinction here between freedom as an experience that the small self has versus the liberation which is the natural state of the self at the deepest level. So, the experience of freedom that the small self may experience is very different than the unconditional state of liberation that is the natural state of the self at all at the self with the capital S at all at all times. So, as long as we're fundamentally still identified with the small self as being the true self the real self and we're fundamentally identified with the small self the narrative of the small self including the entire cultural context that it came out of whatever we experience will be contextualized within a context within within a within a context of relativity. But when we make the flip and it's dramatic when it happens all relative experience, even profound relative experience is all seen within the context of the absolute, of an absolute truth or reality. And that's what changes everything.
