Self-Disclosure
You may think certain things are missing in your life; a certain amount of money, the appropriate course of study, the perfect home, the right partner or relationship, business deal, opportunity, or condition. Look closer. Be aware you cannot tell life what you need. Life reveals timeless insight and wisdom to you based on what you think you want.
You may hear people say you are what you think or you are what you do. Step back. Get completely clear. Nothing is ever missing in life. When you think this is the case, you forget who you are. When you know who you are, anxiety falls away. Whatever comes and goes, changes of state or conditions do not bother you. What awaits discovery and recognition? Notice the witness of desires arising and falling away. Notice what witnesses the silence.
You may go through stages of acquiring things, labels, experiences, attributes, knowlege and more. You may also find yourself reaching a stage where priorities change, where you feel that your message, or inspiration, is shifting, not only to and through yourself, but also to the external world. You reach a stage where you raise awareness and know when you are lying to yourself or being authentic. This is where you a notice your focus of attention is what gives life to a vision, a story, and simple shifts in attention systematically let go of all the mind tells you that you have acquired. This is the witness arising, moving through worlds, and revealing what it is not.
Mooji echoes that if you pay attention to thoughts, this resists accepting the real you. To feel like you are always moving, shifts attention away from that which always feels at home. Something does not journey, but stays in this moment. What comes and goes, is a dream imagined in mind. Notice whether the real or unreal has your focus.
As you say, "I am that," this is not a concept. Nisargadatta Maharaj and other teachers echo the witness is something else. Only through direct experience does one discern whether the seer has interest in what is observed. The pure witness has no form, no interest, no quality or identity. All learning is internalized until it is outgrown and let go.
So, all thought and knowledge arise as pointers to eternal light. The mind fears losing its projected identity, and sees words and beliefs as valuable. What happens as you ask, 'can the knower or eternal light be known?' Intuitively, it is recognized that the witness of all dreams, of all words and energy vibration, exists in the silence within.
As you realize people are saying to you, 'I want what you have,' 'I want to do what you are doing,' you realize you feel your way to whatever you are asking for. You realize what is normal and natural already exists. You realize your passion and enthusiasm are catching. You are already taking thought to where it has never been before. From the universal witness, eternal point of view, one is aware everything is unfolding. The human mind would like you to believe you must work to create and wait for a dream to unfold. The universe knows the dream exists already. Feel that.
