I want you to just bring your awareness inside,

Into yourself,

Into this moment,

Just calming everything down,

Quieting the mind.

Just focusing on your breath,

Bringing awareness to any sensations in your body,

How the breath is landing in your body right now,

Or not landing.

Just bringing awareness,

No trying to change anything.

Any awareness to sounds going on around you,

Just letting them be,

Just letting your mind quiet.

In your mind's eye,

I want you to bring your attention to something that you desire,

That you think you can't have,

Or something that's causing you problems right now that you want and you don't seem to be able to bridge the gap,

You don't seem to be able to have the desire that you want right now.

I want you to just,

In your mind's eye,

Bring your attention to that desire.

And I want you to bring your attention to yourself in relationship to this desire.

Where are you in relationship to the desire?

Where is the desire in relationship to you?

Is the desire out in front of you?

Is it separate from you?

I want you to bring your attention to the space between you and your desire.

The space between your desire and you believing you can't have your desire.

And I want you to just bring your attention towards that space,

That liminal space in between those two points.

It can help to visualize this as having your desire someplace else and the you that desires that at the other end.

I want you to bring your attention to the gap in between,

Like what is it that's bridging that gap?

And I want you to literally place your awareness in that space so that you can look at the self view that doesn't believe you can have this desire.

And you can look at your desire almost like one is on the left and one is on the right and you can be the awareness of the space in between.

And as you do this,

I want you to just become aware that you in this moment are both the person who can't have it and the desire and you are the space in between that is holding both of those,

That is creating both of those.

You as creator are creating both the you that can't have the thing that you desire and the thing that you desire.

Almost like you can literally hold one of each in each hand.

You are the creator,

You are the liminal space in between.

And if you bring your awareness back to the you that thinks you can't have the desire,

The desire is outside of yourself,

The desire is not in your possession.

But if you bring your awareness back to the liminal space in between,

Back to the to the gap that's bridged by you the creator by your awareness,

Can you see that you are both the creator of the desire and of the wish to have the desire that you're not allowing to be fulfilled?

Can you see that you are both the creator of both of those states?

And when you can rest in that awareness,

When you can rest in the awareness of the middle space,

Can you see that the desire is not separate from you?

Can you see that you are not separate from the desire?

Can you see that you are both all of it,

You are the space in between,

You are the desire and you are the desire to have the desire.

And from this space in between,

You have created the desire already,

The desire is already in your creation,

It is in your consciousness,

It is not separate from you,

It is of you,

It is from you.

And just allowing yourself to bring both the desire and the you that thinks it can't have the desire back into the center to meet you,

Back in like absorb them back into who you are,

Absorb them back in as if they are just merging back as one.

Because you are the creator and nothing is separate from you.

And just rest in this knowing,

Rest in this knowing that the desire is not separate from you.

You are not separate from anything in this world,

You are the creator of everything,

You literally as awareness create your existence.

And we do this because some things that might serve,

Sometimes we have filters that think you know we believe that we are a certain person and that this is who we are and it is a deep down misguided belief but it is like a lens over who we are but really who you are is that liminal space in between of awareness that holds everything.

And merging those polarities back into that awareness that you are in the middle space,

Dissolving those gaps,

Bringing everything back into you and allowing yourself to just rest in the wholeness of everything as awareness as you.

You are the creator of everything and there is no thing that is outside of you.

There is nothing inside of me mother,

Neutralized inside of me.

You you
