Hello and welcome.
This is an advanced meditation which will help you recognize your spiritual self or your soul self.
It is typically suitable for advanced meditators.
However,
Even someone new to the path can feel the truth conveyed if they listen with openness.
In fact,
Your spiritual self is more real than your ego self and it can be recognized in an instant.
The ego self comprises of the body and mind.
The body keeps changing through the years and is subject to birth and death.
The mind is also constantly changing.
The belief you had a decade ago may have changed now.
Your desires may have changed.
Your views may have changed.
The ego self is a time-bound self which is constantly changing and is based on desire,
Fear and sense of separation.
Identifying solely as the ego self creates a life of ups and downs and sometimes intense suffering too.
A life anchored in your soul self,
Your spiritual self,
Which is the unborn eternal self,
Is deeply fulfilling as your spiritual self is love,
Peace,
Happiness and grace.
Let us begin this inquiry.
Close your eyes and drop all ideas about who you are.
Take one direct look at who you are and stay with your direct experience.
With your eyes closed,
Experience yourself directly.
You do not need thought to tell you who you are.
You already are here.
You can trust your experience.
Thoughts come and go and they cannot know the soul self.
As you are aware of the spaciousness,
The openness,
The formlessness,
Sense the feeling of presence or aliveness.
Be aware of the spaciousness,
Openness and realize that your true self has no dimensions,
No boundaries,
No beginning or end.
You can sense how light the spaciousness is.
I will now ask a series of questions.
Please keep your awareness on the sense of presence and aliveness and spaciousness.
Listen from your true self.
Listen from and as the space of awareness.
Who told you,
You were born?
Who told you,
You can die?
Who told you,
You were born,
You prevail and then someday you die?
Who told you,
You are a finite self?
From your own direct experience,
Are you just the form or are you the space that permeates the entire experience,
The form and space all around the form?
Who told you,
You have a gender?
Take a moment again to feel your own presence,
The aliveness.
Who told you that you can lack?
Does this beautiful presence that you are,
The spaciousness,
Does it have an age?
Tune into the intuitive feeling,
I,
I.
Sense the feeling,
I.
The most intimate feeling,
I.
If English is not your mother tongue,
You can say I in your mother tongue,
I,
I.
How old is this I that you are?
This I that you are sensing is the I of Sri Ramana.
It is the I of Buddha.
It is the I of Jesus Christ.
It is the eternal I.
Before Abraham was,
I am.
It is the infinite I.
It is your first name.
It is the name of God.
You are eternal.
You are complete.
You are divine life.
You are grace.
You are the light of your world.
Who told you,
You are a limited human being?
You are here right now,
Closer than breath,
More immediate than the heartbeat.
You are the spiritual self.
You are a soul appearing as a human being,
Having a human experience.
Be as you are.
Namaste.
