Being Stuck

Talk in Bruges on March 30, 2008 (2)
Notes from Danny

In the release of all forms, there are no boundaries anymore.
In this open atmosphere everything is allowed to be.

People who want to keep everything under control, become tense.
Be aware that it's impossible for you to arrange everything, because you're limited as a man.
Many have a basic tension to control everything.
For them it has become a habitual tension.
You do not need to remain at the I level where you want to regulate everything.
Rather go into the more spacious self-being and let go of limitations.
Let the relaxation continue infinitely.
Be also aware of the state of limitless relaxation, because that is your most essential core.

Let it deeply penetrate that you're free of all patterns and restrictions.
You're naturally completely free.
As you experience limitations, understand that you're more spacious and don't hold on to those restrictions.
Be aware of the open atmosphere as your own.

By releasing all control, everything happens by itself, spontaneously.

When there are no more boundaries between yourself and others, then there can be no more war.
War is always about borders, but if all borders disappear, war disappears with it.

In the Open the other is lovingly accepted.
In the openness of yourself, everything is allowed to be, everything is accepted.
Precisely because it is open, so much more is possible than ever before.
There are many more unexpected opportunities.

To what extent is the open space present for yourself during conversations with others?
Watch that you do not lapse back into a limited identity.
When you limit yourself, although you are infinite, you create only suffering.
The tragedy is knowing that you're free, but realizing that you hold fast to limitation.
Do not stick to limited forms.
The limited self is but a small part of your true Self.

The lifting of suffering is not the lifting of limited desires.
Don't desire too little. Your desire is endless.
Merge with your infinite desire and realize your own infinity.
Then the fundamental suffering is lifted.

Recognize very clearly the Openness in yourself, otherwise you fall back into limitations.
Because you are not aware of the Openness, you always come back to being stuck in certain forms and patterns.

When the limited I is released into the universal Self, then its actions are contained within the greater whole.
There are no expectations any more, because there is not an I that wishes for something
Everything I wish for is included in the will of God, the whole.
Everything goes by itself.
Because I no longer intervene, there is no resistance.
If something happens, it happens naturally.
This can be called action without acting.
It is an action without an "I" that wants.

Let the relaxation continue on all levels until there is nothing more to hold on to.
The kite flies away, because the end of the string is not fixed to the reel.
Let the relaxation radically continue on all levels until everything is free.
Be careful not to get stuck in new forms.
Then the relaxation continues through to complete freedom.


Er is geen tweeheid

als je ontspannen bent
in zelf-bewustzijn
is dat duidelijk.
