What Is Already True
Lo que ya es verdad
A gentle invitation to notice what is already happening and to recognize that this moment, exactly as it is, cannot be anything other than itself.
What Is Already True
Just notice sensations.
Skin, the breath.
The simplicity of meditation
Of a variety of meditation approaches, techniques, systems, methods,
including what we're doing now and here, and at other sessions,
all that variety is in service of keeping the mind engaged,
a certain entertainment that is also a distraction
from the simplicity of meditation: to just allow what is.
And allowing what is,
it's not something like a doing, it's not something that can be done.
That's another distraction.
Allowing what is, is just truth,
just seeing reality.
Whatever is happening is exactly what is happening,
including thoughts, emotions, resistances, desires,
longings, frustrations, beliefs.
Recognizing what is real
So first just recognize the reality, which can be called truth.
What is real, what is true:
that whatever is happening is exactly what is happening.
And whatever is happening right now cannot be changed.
The instant a sound appears,
that is the exact reality, the exact truth in that moment.
The instant a thought appears,
that is the exact reality, the exact truth in that moment.
An emotion appears, a sensation appears,
the exact truth and reality of that moment.
The resistance appears to a thought, to the emotion, to the sensation.
The resistance is the exact reality, the exact truth of that moment.
A doorway
That recognition, when this is seen, and you can probably taste this
and intuit this right now,
that is a doorway.
It might be an uncomfortable truth.
It might be a sense of no way out,
as we crave to resist what is
and believe the present can be changed.
That is the ultimate choice, the ultimate battle internally.
A fundamental no
This exploration will bring to the light, bring to awareness,
a fundamental no with life.
Just notice it.
Notice that position,
that resisting of what is,
that position of knowing how things should be.
And only the seeing is necessary.
No effort is needed.
The only choice is to see or not to see.
Seeing is already happening
The seeing is already happening.
It is consciousness.
Everything is already available.
There's nothing you can do that will change the present moment.
It is exactly as it is.
No amount of fighting with it
will make it be anything other than what it is.
And recognize that,
and let that transform you.
Let that knowing, let that seeing heal you, change you.
It can shift everything.
Nothing else is needed.
Everything is exactly as it is at every moment,
including fears, pains, thoughts, emotions, sensations,
all of it.
See the truth of that, the reality of that.
The veil of illusion and resistance will be seen through.
