Your eyes are closed and your breathing is very natural,
Unforced,
And increasingly silky.
One thing you know for certain in this without a doubt is that you exist.
I am aware.
And you also know and are equally certain about the fact that right now you are aware.
That is,
I am aware.
Experience the fact that you are,
The fact that you are aware.
And that you are aware.
Really taste being aware.
Taste the clarity,
The sweetness.
Now allow your attention to make its way down to the base of your body.
Feel that the base is made of butter.
And watch and feel your left leg and your left foot melt into the ground.
Your left foot is melting.
Your left ankle and left lower leg,
Left knee and left upper leg,
Your left hip and your left glute are all melting.
And the sensations pouring over the ground and spreading out in all directions.
And lo and behold,
Your right foot and your right ankle and your right lower leg and your right knee and your right upper leg and your right glute and your right hip joint are all melting and falling away.
With the result that your base no longer feels physical,
Hard,
Dense,
Or solid.
But instead feels weightless,
Buoyant,
Effervescent,
Increasingly free.
Feel the effervescence,
The gentleness,
The undulating-ness,
The liquid-ness,
Your spine,
Starting at the tailbone,
Is slowly growing toward the liquid sky.
And as it grows,
It turns into space.
It is stretching or yearning for the sky.
It is discovering levity.
And meanwhile,
It's turning into spaciousness,
Airiness,
Lightness,
Glory.
Feel this.
The spine is all a glory,
While a base,
Having melted away,
Is effervescent.
Don't think about it,
Feel it.
Your body,
Indeed what remains of it,
Is made of loamy earth.
And the rain comes falling down.
You can hear and feel the rain pitter-pattering against this loamy,
Receptive,
Mushy soil that was once known as your body.
The rain is glancing off of,
While permeating through,
The crown,
The brow,
The eyes,
The nose,
The cheekbones,
The mouth,
The jaw.
It's pouring over and through the neck.
It's careening over the shoulders.
It's falling down both arms.
It's magnificently pelting both sides of the middle of the body.
It's,
The rain,
Is stretching,
Pulling,
Falling downward.
And as it goes,
It's taking every single tension along with it.
Visualize this,
Yes,
But most especially feel the slow dissolution of what you thought your body was.
There's just washing and washing and washing away.
A thin,
Highly porous membrane is covering what you think of as your body.
And when you peer inside this porous membrane,
You discover not objects or things,
But rather smooth,
Spacious,
Emptiness,
Or no thingness.
Where you thought you would find a head,
You find emptiness.
No neck,
Just emptiness.
No systems,
No organs,
No body parts.
Your direct experience is,
So to speak,
Coming up empty.
And it's wonderful.
The entire inside of the body is no thinged.
And far from this being scary,
It is hinting at true freedom.
Come to where your face is supposed to be and feel that it's simply vibrating,
Undulating,
Alive sensation.
It's rolling and roiling with supreme vibratory-ness,
Vibrancy,
Vitality.
Visualize the sweetest,
Tenderest strawberry,
Like a piece of still life sitting atop the tongue.
The tongue is now spreading out in all directions,
Loosening its grip in order to meet this tender,
Glorious strawberry.
The inside of the mouth is alive with anticipation as it greets this beautiful fruit.
And soon,
The strawberry begins to expand.
So that it covers the tongue,
The left cheek,
The right cheek,
The back of the mouth,
The front of the mouth,
Seeming all Alice in Wonderland style.
Your mouth feels strawberried.
And the strawberry continues to expand until it breaches the surface of the mouth.
What does this feel like?
Where are the tensions going?
There is a visualization to be sure,
But there's also sensitivity at a deeper level.
Can you tune into that sensitivity now?
And the strawberry begins to expand.
And in some sense,
It loses its strawberry-ness and becomes simply a vibrant energy.
And it spreads out in all directions until the strawberry mouth becomes the size and the shape of the room.
Your strawberry mouth is now caressing gently and sweetly all surfaces of the room.
What is this experience like?
There is no floor.
There's just a strawberry mouth.
There is no ceiling,
But a strawberry mouth.
There are no walls,
Only strawberry mouth.
And even those words are saying too much.
There is,
In fact,
Simply pulsating,
Vibrating,
Living energy.
Your left eye,
Come back to it,
Is now gelatinous,
Vibrant,
Vibrating energy.
It's as if you were meeting it,
Touching it with your attention for the first time.
It is leaping to life in a way that perhaps has never been experienced before.
It almost wants to leap who knows where.
And it's now expanding until it fills a left hemisphere,
What's ordinarily termed the brain,
So that the eye and the left hemisphere are one.
Feel the buoyancy,
The supreme energetic vibrancy.
Your right eye is equally gelatinous,
Equally alive,
And it too expands until it colonizes the entire right hemisphere.
The two sensations,
Or energies now,
Are woven together such that you're experiencing,
From the eyes up to the hemispheres,
One vibrant field of energy.
You can barely contain it.
So interesting,
So alive it is.
Come back now and place your attention on the third eye,
Which is located between the two so-called physical eyes,
And which is slightly inside of the skin,
So-called skin boundary.
From here,
Trace your attention backward until you arrive at the back of the skull.
Hold your attention right here on this point at the back of the skull.
Walk your attention downward from the back of the skull until you arrive at a point on the spine from which you can see the heart center out in front.
Slowly and luxuriously move your attention forward from here to the heart center and blossom open.
Your heart is opening with light,
With energy.
You may be visualizing light energy,
But most especially,
You're invited to feel it,
To feel,
So to speak,
The light in the room turning brighter and brighter.
Naturally generous,
Naturally generative,
This light,
This energy,
Energy begins to expand out in front.
From the heart center it goes,
And into space it moves,
And the space itself becomes light energy.
Initially,
It may seem as if this light or energy is simply occupying the space out in front,
But soon the space all around has been transformed into the very same light energy.
In your direct experience right now,
You know no borders or boundaries.
You don't really know up or down or left or right.
You simply know that there is this light.
Feel this.
Taste it.
And you know one thing needful,
One thing further.
You know,
In fact,
That you are aware of every single instruction given heretofore,
And that you are aware of this light.
Therefore,
The final invitation is to take one step backward,
So to speak,
And to knowingly be aware of this light.
What is this experience like?
The light continues to appear,
While I knowingly take my stand as that which knows or is aware of this light.
I'm asking what is it like to knowingly be the awareness of this light?
The awareness that's aware of the light that is appearing.
