Sarah,


Very nice!


Whatever you are (not) doing seems to be working.

Sarah,


not trying to make something happen, and I just allowed the everyday to be there.

Yes, the interesting thing is that the idea that you can make anything happen is really an illusion.

I know I got you on the track of looking for the silence/ beingness, but ultimately that is a sort of ...

Sarah,

That all sounds good.

Can you accept all your experiences , blissful, mundane, even unpleasant, as all part of the same unfolding of life ?

If you can do this you will be free of the internal pressure to try and dwell in one state more than another.

It is the end of seeking as you ...

Sarah,


Why don't you take a couple of days off. Relax a little and come back when you have the energy.



With love

Sarah,

It continues to amaze me how much love and joy arises when I look and rest within. Sometimes, love and joy just pops up from nowhere without any obvious reason. Sometimes it so strong it overwhelms me.

This is great. When that happens ,you realize that is your true nature, and it becomes ...

Sarah,

apart from the odd moment during the day when presence arose. The rest was just a continual stream of thoughts. It all happens so fast. .

It is good that you noticed that presence arises on its own, all it needs is a little space between you and your thoughts.

Don't make the thought ...

Sarah,

It all sounds good, really it is a revolution taking place within you. It is not surprising that resistance is arising, the mind/ego is used to being king.

Try not to put pressure on yourself around maintaining some sort of idealized state when you at work.

Just keep moving forward ...

Sarah,

awareness just arises now, but this happens when I don’t try too hard

This is good, the whole thing is just a process of letting go, there is no doing to be done.


thoughts seem ‘not me’ or more alien than the sense of resting in awareness.

Yes , because the thought, feeling stream ...

Sarah,

I am glad you want to continue.

have noticed two distinct states I appear to shift between. A doing state and a being state. Since our dialogue I have been motivated to increase the frequency of sitting and during these periods I am finding it easier and quicker to access the stillness ...

Sarah,

I feel you are beyond the stage of seeing through the individual self, you already had that experience. The challenge now is to develop the confidence in your understanding. It's a bit of a different challenge because you are not being swept along by that spiritual high that makes it all ...

Sarah,

There is an element of mystery to your current predicament, it makes it difficult for me to give guidance.

I know from my own experience that change can come when least expected and without any particular spiritual "work"

I feel that when one is ready to fully accept truth or reality ...

Sarah,

There are really only two aspects to living beyond the known.

The first is being able to access the silence, which you obviously can do. I know it is frustrating at times when you feel overwhelmed by your everyday mind.
I suggest you find some time everyday to allow yourself to fall into ...

Sarah,

I can see that I am trapped once again in the egoic self.

From what you are telling me of your experience , I don't think the above statement is true.

I would like you to try and access that "silence" as you go about your day. You may need to take mini-breaks to do that at first.

Try ...

yes- there are times when there is a space around the mental chatter and between the mental chatter. This can be during meditation or just when I am sat still and attentive ...

Hi Sarah,

Is there any time during your daily life when you feel something other than trapped in the mental chatter?

Meditation, being in nature etc.
