Meditation: Return from the Adventure of Experience to Yourself https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LyHMle8cfw 00:06 just 00:09 soften the 00:11 focus of your attention 00:15 from the content of your experience 00:24 and allow your attention to 00:28 simply rest 00:32 in the fact of 00:34 being 00:57 return 00:59 from the adventure of experience to 01:01 yourself 01:39 you 02:27 our being 02:32 is the 02:33 shines in each of us 02:37 as the knowledge i 02:40 or i am 02:47 it 02:48 is intimately one with all experience 02:59 but does not share the qualities of any 03:02 particular experience 03:13 it is free 03:16 at peace 03:19 inherently 03:21 whole 03:23 or 03:23 fulfilled 03:25 it wants for nothing 05:06 having 05:08 located 05:10 the 05:11 fact of 05:12 simply being 05:15 in the background of experience 05:20 see that our 05:22 being 05:23 pervades all experience 05:26 and as such it is not necessary to turn 05:29 away from 05:30 any experience 05:37 even when we say i am depressed 05:40 the i am is shining there 05:46 eclipsed in most cases 05:50 by the depression 05:55 but never 05:59 affected by it or 06:01 overwhelmed by it 06:07 simply emphasize the i am aspect of 06:12 all experience 06:50 at this 06:51 stage we no longer have to 06:54 take refuge in being 06:58 in the background of experience in the 07:01 midst of experience we remain in touch 07:04 with 07:06 our being and its innate peace 07:52 and the more deeply we 07:55 sink as it were into our being 08:00 the more it 08:02 loses its apparent limitations 08:09 the being that we previously felt was 08:14 located in and confined to 08:17 the body 08:20 is felt to 08:22 extend 08:24 beyond the body it is the 08:30 the being 08:32 the being that we are 08:37 is the being that everyone and 08:40 everything 08:41 is 08:51 so what is felt 08:55 usually 08:56 on the inside first as 08:59 peace and joy 09:04 is now felt 09:05 on the outside 09:08 as love and beauty 09:12 love and beauty in this context are the 09:17 the felt sense of our shared being 09:22 with everyone 09:24 and everything 09:36 we could say when 09:39 being reveals itself on the inside 09:42 it reveals itself as peace and joy 09:47 when it reveals itself on the outside it 09:50 reveals itself as love 09:52 and beauty
