Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
and nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us, something new
Open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters
never cared for what they say
never cared for games they play
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
and I know
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No, nothing else matters
I Am Unique
Our perspective is so small that we think we are unique! Unique in the universe, unique in Canada, unique in Ontario...
no one like us at all...
but we don't really know that. We don't know what we are beyond the changing words that we use to describe our experience... and our experience has passed away, and now we've identified with some of it, and dis-identified with another part of that past.
Doesn't everyone do this?

Mooji on Self Inquiry
posted 22 June
Inquiry #3: Don't Form Any Conclusion
When I try to follow your instructions, what tends to happen is...
my attention just flies off. I find it difficult to go deeper. Yes. What sees the attention flying off? What or who says: "It is difficult to go deeper"? Find out for yourself. It is as though something resists this exploration, isn't it? Like something does not want to be found out, doesn't want to be seen or discovered. Forceful distraction comes up at this point, resulting in the attention flying off and mostly landing on trivia.
Gently return to the question each time the attention strays. Don't fall into: "Oh no! I've lost it again!" As well, do not accept any answer the mind gives - such as 'I am Awareness,' 'I am the Witness only.'
It may even seem that the 'problematic I,' the ego, suddenly vanishes, leaving a sense of calm and emptiness.
Mistakenly, the inquiry is then prematurely abandoned, leaving a false sense of victory. This being a false peace as often, the mischievous 'I' starts up again very quickly.
So the point here is: remain in the sense 'I am the witness,' but don't give any image or identity to this witnessing sense. Watch the sense 'I,' without thought. 'Feel' it out.
Stay with fixing the attention on this. Do not be hurried or put off the 'scent' of the 'I' by any distracting thought. Gradually, any personal quality attaching itself to the 'I' will begin falling away, leaving only the intuitive and imageless sense 'I am,' without the intrusion of the thought-current. Remain in this as this. Don't form any conclusion in mind. Stay as open, neutral non-objective awareness.

Inquiry Series
Start by holding on only to the sense of being or 'I am-self,' to the exclusion
of other thoughts. Don't form any conclusion in mind. Stay as open, neutral non-objective
awareness.

Partial Transcript of Mooji's Skype Pod-cast 19-April 2009
Attention and what the attention turns toward are both
manifestations in the one consciousness. Therefore attention itself is a
phenomenon. And you are aware of attention. So what is this that is
behind everything, that knows even this?
Simply This
Mooji expounds the true nature of the Self, pointing out the
common pitfalls to clear and lasting recognition of the one truth we
are. Here, he guides the seeker through and beyond the early hurdles of
doubt, resistance, fear and confusion and into the irrefutable clarity
of Being.
Enlightenment
The firm realisation that there isn't a 'somebody' to gain enlightenment,
and that there can never be an entity to gain any such state, is what amounts
to enlightenment.
You Are Beyond All Concepts
You are now free, but somehow your attention caresses 'other' and your
facinations - your conceptual investments which spring from the belief 'I am
the body' amounts to an eclipsing of your natural Self-awareness/beingness.
Emptiness
In the emptiness, what are you? What form do
you wear in emptiness? Are you in it, or are you it?
SAYINGS

Spirit is in a state of grace forever.
Your reality is only spirit.
Therefore you are in a state of grace forever.
Miracles arise from a mind that is ready for them.
As an expression of what you truly are,
the miracle places the mind in a state of grace.
Since the miracle aims at restoring the awareness of reality,
it would not be useful if it were bound by laws
that govern the error it aims to correct.

Question: "Brahman (the Self) is real, and the world is illusion" Yet others say,
"The world is reality." Which is true?
Sri Ramana Maharshi:
Both statements are true. They refer to different stages of development and are spoken from different points of view.
The aspirant starts with the definition: that which is real exists always. (does not change) Then he eliminates the world as unreal because it is changing.
The seeker ultimately reaches the Self and there finds unity as the prevailing note. Then, that which was originally rejected as being unreal is found to be a part of the unity.
Being absorbed in the reality, the world also is real. There is only being in
Self-realization, and nothing but being.
