Hello everybody and welcome to the Journey of Transformation Meditation 4.
And the context of this meditation is resting in silence.
And so we're building upon the timeless,
Empty,
Still,
Void of the ground of being.
We're allowing everything to be just as it is.
We're watching and letting go of any of the body's restlessness.
And we're opening to the spaciousness,
The spaciousness that surrounds us and is deep within us.
And so pure silence is within you.
And pure silence is also not unlike spaciousness.
It's not just the absence of sound or lack of noise.
It is the ground,
The basis of your very being.
And so in this silence there's nothing to find out,
Nothing to prove.
We're just listening with the whole body to what is here now.
It is with you now.
It is you.
And the only way to find this is to stop everything else,
Absolutely everything,
And just be.
And so we're listening to the silence,
Remembering that the silence isn't just the absence of sound or lack of noise.
The silence is the background.
So see how far you can hear that silence.
Allow your attention to expand out as far as it can,
Listening to the silence,
The background.
How far does that silence go?
You may notice that that silence is eternal because in truth it is.
Silent conscious awareness is your true nature and the true nature of the Divine,
Of God,
Of the universal intelligence,
Whatever it is that you call it.
Silence is what consciousness is in its purest form.
Therefore silence is God.
Silence is the Divine.
Silence is the soul.
Silence is your true nature of being,
Your own divine true nature.
Not only does that silence go as far,
Far eternally before you,
Surrounding you,
Above you,
Beneath you.
Once again if we turn our attention within,
We notice that that silence is also deep within.
And when you look within and you see this silence,
Or you sense this silence,
This is the true finding.
This is your soul.
This is the truth of your being.
This is home.
This is what most of us have spent so many years trying to find on our spiritual path,
Always being pointed in different directions outside of ourselves,
When all the time it's always been right here.
This is the true awakening,
Effortless,
Timeless,
Formless,
Boundless,
Blissful,
Radiant,
Peace.
Divine love.
This is not a personal love.
This is the presence of a divine love.
A love that just like the cosmos,
The universe and the ground of being itself,
A love that loves unconditionally and allows everything to arise,
To fall away,
Lets everything be just as it is.
That is the true nature of love.
Not the love that we have been programmed to seek or to find,
But a love that is presence.
A love that embraces all things,
Allows all things,
Trusts all things,
Transcends all things.
And this is the nature of silence.

This silent consciousness breathes you.
It is what gave birth to you and gave birth to the entire existence.
It is the essence of this silence that is within the core of everything in existence.
It is in every cell of your being.
It is in every aspect of nature.
It is in every aspect of the cosmos.
It is the light,
The silent light that is the spark of life itself within everything.
It is consciousness.
It is all things.
Feel that silence in the very core of your own heart,
Your belly.
Breathe in the silence,
Breathing in peace.
Listen to the silence.
Feeling it,
Listening,
Breathing,
Silent consciousness.
The true nature of your soul,
The true nature of awakening.
