Ice.
Is made of water.
Steam is made of water.
Clouds are made of water.
Liquid water is made of water.
These are the different forms and states.
That water can exist as.
But even when the water is ice.
It does not stop being water.
It is simply.
.
.
Temporarily.
Taking on.
Estate.
A temporary form.
When ice melts.
It returns to liquid water The water has not changed.
It was not damaged by its experience of being ice.
It is not altered.
By its previous temporary form.
It was water before it was ice.
It was water while it was ice.
And it is water after it is ice.
Your thoughts are made of consciousness.
Your perceptions are made of consciousness.
Your bodily sensations are made of consciousness.
Everything that you experience throughout your entire life.
You are aware of.
You are conscious of.
If you perceive The image of a tree.
The visual sense perception.
And the mental image that arises are made out of consciousness.
The same as all of your thoughts.
Your memory of yesterday.
Is made out of.
Consciousness.
Your current bodily sensations.
Are made out of consciousness.
All experiences are made of awareness.
Experiences can take many forms.
Experience has many stakes.
But regardless of the form or the state of experience.
Experience never leaves consciousness.
In the same way that ice Never stops being water.
No experience ever ceases to be consciousness.
It is not possible.
To have an experience that you are not aware you are having.
Take the current experience that you are having in this moment.
And see for yourself.
Inquire.
Am I conscious of this experience?
Is there any element of experience that I am not conscious of?
And then.
.
.
What is the substance?
Of experience.
What is experience made out of?
Your current body,
Mind and world that you perceive.
Could be considered to be like.
Ice.
Are condensed.
Temporary state.
Of consciousness.
Before you coalesced.
And condensed.
Into this body,
Mind and world.
There was just.
.
.
Pure,
Formless,
Empty consciousness.
But it was consciousness before.
This temporary state,
This temporary form.
And one day the ice will melt.
And you will return to the formless,
Empty state.
But the temporary form never ceases.
To be.
Awareness.
So go to the awareness now.
And recognise.
That this conscious awareness is currently taking a certain shape.
Which is infinitely diverse.
Seemingly infinitely complex.
But no matter how diverse the experiences that you have are.
Including the varied thoughts,
Perceptions,
Memories and imagination.
These can all take an almost infinite number of forms.
None of those forms.
Can be made out of anything other than awareness.
And this awareness is.
.
.
Not the form itself.
There's no such thing as ice.
There is only frozen water.
But ice is not a thing.
It's not a separate substance.
It doesn't exist apart from water.
It is still water.
But ice is not an object.
There is only frozen water.
So take the body,
The mind,
The world that you perceive,
The outside world,
The inside world.
It is a temporary form.
That awareness,
That consciousness has.
Become?
Temporarily?
But there is no such thing in reality.
It does not exist outside of awareness.
It never ceases to be awareness.
It is the belief that this is all solid,
Tangible.
And a separate object.
That creates this.
Condensing.
Is coalescing in the first place.
Release that belief.
And just be the awareness.
We can allow.
For the ice to still be there.
We are safe now knowing.
That even when the ice melts nothing will change.
Nothing will change.
Nothing has ever changed.
When ice condenses.
It forgets.
It's original nature.
It has to in order to be ice.
So go to the current experience.
What is in the way?
That is preventing you from being at peace now.
What is preventing you from being happy and awakened now?
Whatever form that that apparent blockage is taking.
Recognize that even that is made out of awareness.
No matter what form ice takes.
An icicle.
Snow.
A glacier.
Frost.
No matter what form the ice takes.
It could not ever.
Be anything other than water.
So even the most persistent Step in.
Blockages,
Turmoil,
Problems.
Issues in your current life situation and circumstance.
People.
Jobs.
Health.
All of it.
The whole thing.
Never ceases to be awareness,
Never ceases to be consciousness.
Just observe the fact that this conscious awareness has temporarily taken shape.
Color,
Emotion,
Thought,
It's all part of the appearance,
Nothing more.
Nothing more.
Memories of a real event and memories of a dream.
Are both memories.
And both memories are made out of the same awareness.
That same awareness that can conjure the memories of real life and dreams.
Is the same awareness that is aware of current experiences.
All takes place within the same space.
So even your name,
Your body.
History.
Future.
Personality.
The whole story.
Allow it to melt a little.
Rest in.
Knowing.
The awareness was here before.
It is temporarily,
Currently condensed.
You can enjoy this.
And allowing it to melt.
Will subside and recede back into that infinite ocean of peace.
Thank you for doing this.
Guided contemplation with me today.
Hope this video finds you well take care Be well.
And stay.
Presence.
