What does such an encouragement do?
Perhaps more of these signs should be hung.


A talk in Bruges on November 2, 2008
Notes by Danny

Turn your gaze inwards. Feel your body from inside and be aware of your thoughts and feelings. Let your consciousness extend behind you.

You are now aware of yourself from the inside out, of your bodily impressions and feelings and of everything that’s present in the mind.

You are also now aware of your physical self, of your whole situation. Experience all this concretely in the space.

You are the space as being-awareness. The open sphere is your own conscious space. In this open space old borders and patterns dissolve. All borders have disappeared and you experience pure happiness.

From the “I” position you can’t break the walls that you've built around yourself, because there are “I” interests.

Take a little distance from the situation, then you become more like an observing consciousness. There is a greater field of view, there is a greater conscious space, with more clarity and insight. Within which the “I” tensions relax. Exactly because you are more spacious, you can release the tensions. The subtle “I” tensions dissolve in the infinite space of yourself. All limiting energies dissolve in the space that you yourself are.

In the relaxation everything comes open. The more you go within, the more you come open. As an open atmosphere of sensitive awareness everything is lovingly absorbed.

Don’t go with the forces that emanate from others. Stay with the open self-being.

So you're free from every compulsion, free from every attachment. In this way your environment also becomes more open, because it’s no longer held fast and manipulated by an ego.

In the open sphere all restrictions of the personality disappear. The “I”-person dissolves. You are no longer fixed to a solid form. You are free. As the essence of self-being you are totally open on all levels. Even the observing consciousness dissolves as you return to your groundless self.

Through the dissolution of the ego there is no individual importance any more. All problems and conflicts were caused by the creation of separations, while you are the space without separations. As every separation disappears, you're free. All heaviness, seriousness and weightiness disappear. Happiness and peace appear in the liberation . Isn’t that beautiful?

Stay always and everywhere in yourself as open space. Then it will work through. It is so simple, if only you don’t hold tight to old patterns. Let these patterns simply dissolve in the infinite openness of yourself. In the open sphere there is no one who acts. The action happens by itself.

The essence of desire is authentic. Only it is projected onto limited things. That doesn’t diminish the desire, because in it’s core every desire is infinite. But go directly with the infinity of the desire towards the happiness of unity.

When you taste delicious wine, you disappear. You go so far into it that all borders disappear. As subject of the tasting you merge with the wine as an object. If this happens in consciousness, that’s realization. Radicalize this realization, then the openness breaks totally through.

Stay with the understanding of the Great without separations. That is essential. This openness is fundamental, all phenomena are of secondary importance. Don’t hide behind conditions. Don’t let anything or anyone distract you. Let the release happen totally. Let the surrender occur in an atmosphere of trust and love. That is the “direct path”.


Er is geen tweeheid

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

  • Non-dualiteit - de grondeloze openheid

    Non-dualiteit is niet-tweeheid (Sanskriet: a-dvaita), de afwezigheid van scheidingen. Deze openheid vormt de kern van elke spiritualiteit en mystiek. Maar wat is non-dualiteit nu precies? Daarover gaat het nieuwe boek van Douwe Tiemersma. In zijn vorige boeken stond de non-dualiteit ook al centraal, maar nu laat hij stap voor stap zien wat non-dualiteit in de eigen ervaring betekent. Iedereen blijkt die ervaring te kennen en te waarderen.
