Who are you? Deeper than the circumstances of this life, deeper than thoughts that come and go, deeper than emotions and sensations that arise and fall?

What is always whole and untouched even as waves of fear, shame and anger flow through?

An answer may arise for you or not. This may be a familiar line of inquiry or it may be new. When my teacher Gangaji asked me these questions, the mind stopped in its tracks, fell in on itself, and what was discovered was beyond language and words. The world stopped, identity stopped, separation stopped. There was nothing - no me, no other, no inside and outside. Nothing at all. Open, spacious.

Then there was the challenge and gift of staying true to what revealed itself through grace without following the doubts that arose. Staying open, embodied and present and not turning this discovery into something to get, to have, to lose.

This is what I invite you to explore this month with me.

How does this experience of pure essence get co-opted by the mind’s activity? How does it become a mental concept of “oneness” or “love” that feels outside of the present moment, the present experience of day-to-day living? How does this that is whole and untouched become something to be experienced while in morning meditation, but then lost while caring for children, attending to a job, negotiating with a spouse?

What does it mean to live life from this pure essence, in every moment - embodied and fully present every moment, no matter the challenge?

Let’s discover together.
