Expressing From Heart Or Mind?

Hello to all loved One(s)-

The subject is about expressing out of mind and expressing out of heart.

I: And now you know full well if you are attached to some material outcome…and now you are understanding more the energies of giving and receiving. When you are doing your actions out of your joy, the expression of it, you are freely giving. And as the great one said, “And so freely ye shall receive.” And this will, in turn, open you up to the receiving because you are the joy of giving, without expectation, without mind. You are knowing now the feeling in your body, are you not?

Q: Yes.

I: Can you tell the difference when you are in the joy, doing something out of the joy of being you as opposed to DOING SOMETHING FOR SOMETHING on a mind level?

Q: Yes.

I: How are you feeling about going to work this evening?

Q: I’m excited for it.

I: Truly excited?

Q: Yes, cause it allows me another venue to explore myself. The interaction with others is always a great insight to the subtle ways that I am still blocking. And it is also a venue where I can celebrate my beingness.

I: We are suggesting that you go through your evening in this new found discovery of the joy of being you, with no expectation from your co-workers or for anything. And you’ll see many miraculous things happening; you’ll see subtle nuances, you’ll see energies at work, if you can maintain your lightness of being in the joy of being you. And this goes along with remembering it is all a play. Keep it light.


Profound LOVE,

Can You Accept "What-Is"?

It is as a child discovers he is boy or girl, "ah, so be it, it is what it is. This is what I am, I do not resist it, I allow it to be, and I create from that point." Unfoldment will become an exposure of your unlimited nature. You will manifest things without a thought. You will manifest phone calls, letters, perhaps checks in the mail. Do not overlook, this is why you are where you are at right now. When you resist "others" you are understanding that you are a vacuum picking up energies, and that the "other" is not the energy that they are omitting, but their ego, and it is irrelevant whose truth it is, then you will understand that we are all working together for "the purpose"; for your purpose. When you are confronted with another whose ego you believe to be too large, do not concern your self with that untruth. Realize it as an untruth, do not accept it into your being, allow to be where it lays and see them as they really are. See the truth in them. When you see the truth in you, you will understand the truth in them. They will become your allies. But for now, focus on your body feeling. When the untruth starts to take hold, look at it, and ask the question that arises. You will ask the right question, because there is no wrong question. As long as you are asking, it will be dispelled. Do you understand?

Message of clarity

There is no need to victimize yourself any longer with these things; you are now knowing, you are now seeing. There is no need to feel sadness or hurt. You have all played the part beautifully for the highest good of everyone. Some have taken this gift some have not; that does not concern you. Be established in your joy and your love in every moment. When you are established in this joy and this love, where you reside, you will always see the highest truth in everything. You will never forget that you are the creator, and you will meet each experience and occurrence and person with great respect and love and joy. Be adamant about this. Do not sway for a moment and if you do you can always go and close your eyes and remember where you reside. The feeling is growing strong in you now; you are feeling this. It has transformed from the dimmest spark to a burning flame, and yet it will grow larger. Keep your attention there.

Can't find your love?

Are you creating obstacles for yourself unknowingly?

Here is another snippet of a conversation with the Infinite Potential Self. We were speaking about creating out of love and joy in contrast to creating with expectations and demands. How are you creating in your life???

You can attend sessions with IPS or listen to recorded sessions at: http://www.yournotthat.com

Enjoy!

Q: Thank you. I have a question, if you could help me clarify?

I: Yes.

Q: If you are going into an activity with just the joy of the expression of it, no expectation, or thought of anything that you want, how do you bring about the thing that you want?

I: Because you are not attached or craving any one particular thing, you are always happy with the results. The results will always be for that which is the highest good.

Q: How will you bring about that which you are wanting? I know thought creates form, so if you go into something with the joy of your beingness, you are not thinking about what you want to create, how will it unfold if there is no thought?

I: If you are not in a place of pure joy and love, when you manifest this thought form, it does not mean that you will not manifest the physical creation, it only means that you will bring along with it challenges, obstacles. It will not be done in the highest and easiest path. It will still be good for your unfoldment, for your expansion, because it will expose to you that which you are needing to, or desiring to clear away, so that we may flow with you.

I: Perhaps you would for example be waiting tables in a restaurant. But you had no expectation that they would leave you a monetary tip; you only were in the joy of what they were giving to you. Do you know the possibilities that you awaken? And that you allow? Perhaps there would be a wealthy gentleman that would like to leave you his Mercedes Benz. Or perhaps they would grow quite fond of you in your vibration, and they would want to will you their estate. Do you know the infinite potentials…

Q: No.

I: …when you are not attached?

Q: No, I guess I’m…I see where you’re coming from.

I: There are many probable outcomes. We say relinquish your attachment to and your expectation to any and all of them and be in the joy of that which you are creating in that moment. And when you are in that true joy without that expectation, without that need or that craving to receive something, for you are always receiving…

Q: Oh yes, okay. I’m getting a picture now that I was just shown when you were speaking. Thank you for that.

I: Are you still attached to the monetary?

Q: Perhaps I am.

I: Perhaps you should expand this a bit. We are saying do not limit yourself when you are in the joy. Do not limit the possibilities. You have no conscious understanding of that which could truly be the outcome.

Q: And that’s what you have to relinquish, is that conscious understanding, right?

I: Let go, and just be with us. Be in that joy of that which you are creating in each moment, receive from it in each moment, and allow expansion to occur.

Creating Without Hangups In Freedom And Bliss

Hello Loved One(s)-

We have Included dialogue from a session with the Infinite Potential Self. The topic is about creating your projects without hangups in freedom and bliss. You can hear recordings of sessions at http://www.yournotthat.com/audio.html ENJOY!

IPS: When you are coming from your place of joy and truth, this is where we want you to know the difference when you are creating. We spoke yesterday of your creation, of picking up a live plant, a clipping, and creating, did we not?

Questioner: Yes.

I: And with detachment and love you picked up the clipping and said, "Let us see if we can make this grow." And you stuck it in water and you gave it attention, but no worry. Did you worry? Did you have concern?

Q: Not at all.

I: Did you have attachment?
Q: Not at all.

I: We want you to be clear on these things when you go into your creations. We want you to do these with ease and grace, just as you picked up that clipping. As right now you have mind attachments to it. When you come with ideas and you go, "Oh, that’s a great idea!" you are not attached to it. Right now you are attached to it. You are at a point in your expansion when you cannot even move forward on your projects if you are attached to them. Do you see?

Q: Yes.

I: You have come to a… an inertia in your creations, so to speak, of that which you want. You are still creating, you create very powerfully each day with your thoughts, but focussing upon that which is your purpose has come to a standstill.

Q: Yes.

I: This is good. The momentum from the physical world has slowed down, it is almost at a complete stop now.

Q: Maybe that’s what I’m feeling. Things just seem to be in inertia.

I: Allow it to be there, this is fine. As there is never truly inertia.

Q: Yes.

I: The energies are changing direction, so to speak. When you have thought of your project, does it bring you joy?
Q: Oh yes.

I: Does it bring you joy with concern?
Q: No, well a little. But it’s so fleeting, you know, not comparative…

I: It is not relevant whether it is fleeting… When you picked up the clipping from the ground did you have a fleeting thought, (denoting struggle in words and feeling)"Oh...Maybe I can’t make it grow, and I should leave it here."

Q: No.

I: What is your challenge with this project?

Q: I guess the biggest thing is that we won’t be able to help people the way we truly want to. Because if I’m not…like practicing what you preach, in other words.

I: All will have their own individual level of advancement, or expansion we should say for what you offer them. Do not judge what expansion they have. As one may have…

Q: (laughing) I’m attempting to judge something that hasn’t even happened yet.

I: You’re putting it in a box, everything you want to box up and store away in your mind somewhere. This is okay. Allow each thing to unfold as it is. Do not be attached to each thing that unfolds, or each possibility, or each probability. Remember that you are a being of all possibilities. The only thing that puts limitations on the possibilities of your creations are your thought forms. Do you see?
Q: Yes.

I: If you need to remind your self that all things are possible one thousand one times a day, then let it be so. When you are with us, though, are you concerned?
Q: No.

I: There are no thoughts of "this may not work, that may not work, what if we don’t do this" there?

Q: No.

I: That is why we say reside with us. Be in your "home" and all things will flow from you naturally. Do you have more?

Q: I don’t. You helped a lot, to clarify. To help me get clear. Thank you for that.

I: Perhaps you have not answered the questions of what you are wanting to receive from this project?

Q: No, we haven’t went in there and done that yet.

I: Perhaps you have not because there is nothing that you are wanting to receive? Nothing of truth. Are you doing it for fun?

Q: Partially for fun, partially for more understanding of energies; the way they are working. For also the excitement of a new, what do I want to say… a new area of career.

I: Is this all in joy? Is this all for fun?
Q: Oh, yes.

I: So you are picking up the clipping and putting it in water to see what will happen?

Q: Yes.

I: Then you are not wanting to receive anything through thought. Are you?
Q: No. It’s all just joy.

I: Then you are not needing to make a list. The purpose for our questioning was for you to be clear about what you don’t want and what you do want. As these are mind creations they will create obstacles for you. Do you see?
Q: Oh. So to clarify what you just said if I were to say, "I want to do this project so that I can have a new car", that would create obstacles?

I: Exactly. You would be putting your project in a box, forcing something upon those participating in that project, of which was not necessary, or which they were not ready or wanting. It will block the clear flow of us coming through you. When you are not attached to something, when you are doing something because it is fun, interesting, it brings you joy, and you are detached, you can create easily and momentarily. Do you see?
Q: Yes.

I: When you say I would like to have this project so that I may buy a new car, or a new house, what you do is you create a motive or an agenda, and then you stuff beings into your agenda. That is not pure. That does not come from us. We have no agenda. We have no right or wrong. We allow each thing to be as it is. So we cannot flow through you when you have slapped a label, or a box around something. Do this for fun. See what happens. You will observe all things. You already have an inkling of what you would like to see, so you are aware and your attention will be there. You said you would like to see how the energies work. As we have told you, you will understand. And you have released that, you say, "I would like to see this". Then you will because you are not attached to it. Do you see?
Q: Yes.

I: This is not attachment. You will not lose sleep. You will not toss and turn in your night, or you will not be irritable in you day because you have not had what you feel is success. Will you?
Q: No.

I: Move forward in the plans for your project. Do it with lighthearted fun.

Q: So, so a goal actually holds you up then? You’re better off just saying, "Let’s go do this and see what happens."

I: Yes, you can have purpose. And you can have a general format to follow to make things efficient, but there should be no attachment to it, and just allow. And you should get great laughter from it. It is all laughter. If you are knowing what you are wanting in your life there is no goal setting. You only see all possibilities. And each day you walk in joy you see the miracles unfolding. And as you walk in gratitude and joy, and you reside with us, you are wanting for nothing, yet you are able to create in a moment. Because there is no true craving, there is a desire out of fun.

Q: Um, does this have to do with the law of attraction? Well, I think I’ve already answered my question. Let’s say you’re doing something so that you can buy a house or a new car, because you have that attachment to you with that, then you’re drawing the obstacles. The obstacles themselves are out of the attachment.

I: Yes. The wanting, the wanting comes from the mind, a thought form, and this is fine. Yet if there is the attachment to it, then it is entangled in all of the worries, obstacles, and challenges of the mind. Do you see? And you may create for yourself that house or that car, or whatever it is you are wanting, but along with it become obstacles, challenges, blocks.

Q: Ohhhh. Because…oh I get it now. Because you’re taking the mind with you, your subconscious mind with you, basically, is what you’re doing. You’re taking all your fears, everything that’s in your DNA, and in your cellular structure on that journey.

I: It is the vibration that you send out. It is not as powerful as that of that which you reside. Do you see?

Q: Yes.

I: When you are coming from Self, from us, we are unaffected by your thought patterns. We are truth. We shoot through you like a bullet, and we create instantaneously.

We know that this dialogue has assisted you in your projects. Feel free to comment and/or report back with your insights and successes.

Insights: Tilopa's Mahamudra Instruction To Naropa

Hello to all of our loved one(s)-



We posted "Tilopa's Mahamudra Instruction to Naropa in Twenty Eight Verses" under the articles section. These verses point the mind back to the non-dual state. For this week we have posted the first five. Feel free to post your comments and insights here, we are looking forward to hearing what comes to you! By all means read the entire 28...



LOVE,

Joshua, Angie, Magnus



Homage to the Eighty Four Mahasiddhas!
Homage to Mahamudra!
Homage to the Vajra Dakini!


Mahamudra cannot be taught. But most intelligent Naropa,
Since you have undergone rigorous austerity,
With forbearance in suffering and with devotion to your Guru,
Blessed One, take this secret instruction to heart.


Is space anywhere supported? Upon what does it rest?
Like space, Mahamudra is dependant upon nothing;
Relax and settle in the continuum of unalloyed purity,
And, your bonds loosening, release is certain.


Gazing intently into the empty sky, vision ceases;
Likewise, when mind gazes into mind itself,
The train of discursive and conceptual thought ends
And supreme enlightenment is gained.


Like the morning mist that dissolves into thin air,
Going nowhere but ceasing to be,
Waves of conceptualization, all the mind's creation, dissolve,
When you behold your mind's true nature.

Allowing Insights From "I Am That"

Hello to our loved ones-

We realized that we could discuss teachings from The Infinite Potential Self and other certain topics of interest here between sessions. Through sharing together with this blog, we can keep the teachings in the forefront of our minds and allow them to work more consistently, thereby allowing greater expansion in our lives. We invite you all to post questions and share insights. We welcome with great love and respect any newcomers that would like to participate.

Let's start by examining the first chapter in "I am that", the dialogues recorded with Nisargadatta Maharaj, and commenting on it. This was the recommendation on session 8 by I.P.S. The dialogue reads:

1. The Sense of ‘I am’

Questioner: It is a matter of daily experience that on waking up the world suddenly appears. Where does it come from?

Maharaj: Before anything can come into being there must be somebody to whom it comes. All appearance and disappearance presupposes a change against some changeless background.

Q: Before waking up I was unconscious.

M: In what sense? Having forgotten, or not having experienced? Don’t you experience even when unconscious? Can you exist without knowing? A lapse in memory: is it a proof of non-existence? And can you validly talk about your own non-existence as an actual experience? You cannot even say that your mind did not exist. Did you not wake up on being called? And on waking up, was it not the sense ‘I am’ that came first? Some seed consciousness must be existing even during sleep, or swoon. On waking up the experience runs: ‘I am -- the body -- in the world.’ It may appear to arise in succession but in fact it is all simultaneous, a single idea of having a body in a world. Can there be the sense of ‘I am’ without being somebody or other?

Q: I am always somebody with its memories and habits. I know no other ‘I am’.

M: Maybe something prevents you from knowing? When you do not know something which others know, what do you do?

Q: I seek the source of their knowledge under their instruction.

M: Is it not important to you to know whether you are a mere body, or something else? Or, maybe nothing at all? Don’t you see that all your problems are your body’s problems -- food, clothing, shelter, family, friends, name, fame, security, survival -- all these lose their meaning the moment you realise that you may not be a mere body.

Q: What benefit is there in knowing that I am not the body?

M: Even to say that you are not the body is not quite true. In a way you are all the bodies, hearts and minds and much more. Go deep into the sense of ‘I am’ and you will find. How do you find a thing you have mislaid or forgotten? You keep it in your mind until you recall it. The sense of being, of 'I am' is the first to emerge. Ask yourself whence it comes, or just watch it quietly. When the mind stays in the 'I am' without moving, you enter a state which cannot be verbalised but can be experienced. All you need to do is try and try again. After all the sense ‘I am’ is always with you, only you have attached all kinds of things to it -- body, feelings, thoughts, ideas, possessions etc. All these self-identifications are misleading. Because of them you take yourself to be what you are not.

Q: Then what am I?

M: It is enough to know what you are not. You need not know what you are. For as long as knowledge means description in terms of what is already known, perceptual, or conceptual, there can be no such thing as self-knowledge, for what you are cannot be described, except as except as total negation. All you can say is: ‘I am not this, I am not that’. You cannot meaningfully say ‘this is what I am’. It just makes no sense. What you can point out as 'this' or 'that' cannot be yourself. Surely, you can not be 'something' else. You are nothing perceivable, or imaginable. Yet, without you there can be neither perception nor imagination. You observe the heart feeling, the mind thinking, the body acting; the very act of perceiving shows that you are not what you perceive. Can there be perception, experience without you? An experience must ‘belong'. Somebody must come and declare it as his own. Without an experiencer the experience is not real. It is the experiencer that imparts reality to experience. An experience which you cannot have, of what value is it to you?

Q: The sense of being an experiencer, the sense of ‘I am’, is it not also an experience?

M: Obviously, every thing experienced is an experience. And in every experience there arises the experiencer of it. Memory creates the illusion of continuity. In reality each experience has its own experiencer and the sense of identity is due to the common factor at the root of all experiencer-experience relations. Identity and continuity are not the same. Just as each flower has its own colour, but all colours are caused by the same light, so do many experiences appear in the undivided and indivisible awareness, each separate in memory, identical in essence. This essence is the root, the foundation, the timeless and spaceless 'possibility' of all experience.

Q: How do I get at it?

M: You need not get at it, for you are it. It will get at you, if you give it a chance. Let go your attachment to the unreal and the real will swiftly and smoothly step into its own. Stop imagining yourself being or doing this or that and the realisation that you are the source and heart of all will dawn upon you. With this will come great love which is not choice or predilection, nor attachment, but a power which makes all things love-worthy and lovable.

Looking forward to your questions and insights, as it assists in our "understanding".

LOVE
Joshua, Angie, Magnus
