The Four States of Being Before we begin,
I want to gently honor the roots of what you are about to experience.
These words draw inspiration from Bashar's Four Laws of Creation,
From the non-dual wisdom of Advaita,
From the Buddha's teachings on interbeing,
Resonance,
And impermanence,
And from ancient traditions that saw life not as a series of events but as a living field of consciousness expressing itself through you.
You don't need to adopt any of these frameworks.
You only need to experience what opens your heart,
Softens your breath,
And reminds you of your own inner clarity.
Wherever you are,
However you arrived to this moment,
Let yourself excel into the simple truth that you exist,
Not as a philosophy,
Not as an achievement,
Just as the first gift,
The original miracle.
This space is for remembering,
Through your own direct experience,
What ancient traditions have whispered in different languages for thousands of years.
Let's begin.
First,
You exist.
We start with the state of beingness,
Oneness.
Take a slow,
Kind breath in,
And let your exhale fall out of your body.
Before any identity,
Before any role,
Before any past or future,
There is the simple truth that you exist,
Not as a concept,
Not as a belief,
But as presence,
Quiet,
Luminous,
Steady.
In Alpha Eta,
This is the pure I am.
In Buddhism,
It is the awareness that is aware of experience.
In ancient teachings,
It is the being itself,
The ground of everything.
Fill into this with your body,
Not your mind.
Notice how existence is already here.
You don't produce it.
You don't earn it.
You simply are.
For a moment,
Let this be enough.
Let the miracle of I exist settle softly into your chest and belly.
Let it root you in a peace that doesn't need any story to be true.
Second,
The one is all,
The all are one.
The state of connection,
Separation,
And unity.
From this simple beingness arises the beautiful illusion of many,
The sense of me and other.
But notice something subtle.
Every image in your mind,
Every memory,
Every person you bring to heart appears within your awareness.
Try it gently.
Bring to mind someone you love.
Feel how their presence arises inside your inner world,
Their face,
Their warmth,
Their energy,
All moving in the spaciousness of your awareness.
Where do you end and they begin?
The boundary is softer than we think.
The Buddha called this inter-being,
The truth that nothing exists on its own.
Advaita calls it the one appearing as many.
Ancient peoples simply lived this truth.
Life is one field,
Learning about itself through countless perspectives.
Let this realization soften the edges around your heart.
Let it open the possibility that you are connected not because you try,
But because you can't be anything else.
Third,
What you put out is what you get back.
The state of reflection,
Resonance,
And attraction.
Let your next breath be gentle.
In Vajra's language,
Your state of being shapes your experience.
In Buddhism,
Karma is resonance.
The world reflects the quality of your mind.
In non-dual traditions,
Outer experience is a mirror of inner meaning.
This is not about blame or forcing positivity.
It is about empowerment.
Your inner tone becomes the lens through which reality is perceived.
Let's explore it softly.
Tune into your inner state right now.
Is it open?
Neutral?
Tender?
Tired?
Notice how the world tends to meet you with the same flavor.
Not because circumstance has power over you,
But because your meaning,
Your vibration,
Your interpretation becomes the experience itself.
When your heart is relaxed,
The world feels safer.
When your mind is spacious,
Possibilities appear.
When you rest in presence,
Life mirrors that presence back.
Take a breath into that tooth.
Feel the freedom it offers.
You are not shaped by life.
You shape your experience of life from the inside out.
Fourth,
Change is the only constant.
The state of action,
Experience,
And transformation.
Every breath rises and falls.
Every emotion comes and goes.
Every season of your life shifts into its own rhythm.
This is the Buddha's teaching of Anika,
Impermanence.
It is also the dance of creation in every mystical tradition.
And in Vajra's language,
It is the only log that moves.
Change isn't here to threaten you.
It is here to carry you.
Feel into one small change in your life right now.
A shift in direction,
Emotion,
Relationship,
Or inner growth.
Not to judge it,
But to soften towards it.
Imagine for a moment that life is a river.
If you cling,
You become tired.
If you relax your palm,
You float.
Let your breath be that floating.
Let your exhale be a gentle surrender into the natural movement of your life.
Change becomes a teacher when you stop resisting it.
Change becomes a friend when you let it show you what you have outgrown.
Let's integrate the four states together.
Allow a long,
Easy inhale.
And feel these four states gathered quietly within you.
Beingness.
I exist.
Connection.
I am part of everything.
Reflection.
My state shapes my experience.
Change.
Life is movement,
And I can move with it.
Feel them merging like four streams into one river.
A river of clarity.
Peace and gentle empowerment.
Let them settle in your heart.
Your body.
Your breath.
Not as ideas,
But as lived experience.
This is who you are when you meet life with softness.
Awareness.
And trust.
As we close,
Let these insights blend within you.
Not as teachings to adopt,
But as invitations to your own inner truth.
Thank you for listening.
Thank you for breathing with me.
Thank you for remembering.
Thank you for existing.
