You’ll Be Unhappy Either Way (transcript)
Breathe in and raise your vibration!
Breathe out and release your resistance!

Breathe in and raise your vibration!
Breathe out and release your resistance!

Relax your body.

Breathe in and say yes to what is.
Breathe out and surrender to what is.

Surrender your preferences. Surrender wanting it to be another way. Right now, just accept what is.

Breathe in and say yes to whatever your circumstances are.
Breathe out and welcome whatever your circumstances are.

Yes, I’m resisting. Yes, I’m disliking and judging. Yes, I’m kind of crabby and irritable. Yes, I can’t even figure out what would make me feel better. Yes, I just want to get my period so I can feel better. Yes, I just want to have a good day. Yes, I want to feel better. Yes, I want to love and not hate so much. Yes, I’m breathing in. Yes, I’m feeling better, the more I witness. Yes, I’m feeling better, the less I resist what is.

Breathe in and say yes.
Breathe out and become that witness.

Become the witness that embraces and accepts it all. Become the witness that is already unconditional love. Become the witness that’s just happy to be here, no matter what’s happening.

Breathe in and become the witness by saying yes to what is.
Breathe out and smile because you’re taking your power back right now.

Go beyond your preferences. Go beyond likes and dislikes. When you really like something, you seek it. When you really dislike something, you resist it. Both of those activities of the mind cause suffering. Today, surrender your preferences. Decide to not give a fuck what happens. Because if you give a fuck, you’ll be unhappy either way.

Breathe in and decide to be happy either way.
Breathe out and do that by becoming the witness.

The witness is just pure awareness, and you can identify as that right now, by asking yourself, “Am I aware?”

Breathing in, am I aware?
Breathing out, yes! I am aware!

Feel the flicker when you ask, like flicking a lighter. It’s making a little spark, a little flame, each time you ask, am I aware? There’s a brief glimmer where you mind turns around and looks at its source and sees, yes, I am aware.

Breathe in and simply identify as pure awareness.
Breathe out and take your power back.

You don’t have to be affected by all of your likes and dislikes. Today, surrender your preferences. Say yes to everything that is. Become the witness. Become the unconditional love that you really are.

Breathe in and remember: you are the source!
Breathe out and be empowered!

You can flip the switch and start enjoying your life by remembering you are the source. You become it, and then you see it. You feel it and then you see it. So if you choose to simply identify as pure awareness, if you choose to simply identify as the witness, you will have no lack, no agitation, no separation from the ones you love. You will return to your natural happiness, your natural state of love, yeah love!

Breathing in, am I aware?
Breathing out, am I aware?

It’s seems simple, too simple. How does asking “Am I aware?” make me unaffected by my experience? Well, it’s because when you ask, “Am I aware?” you do a thing that’s not thinking. You do a recognition that you are aware presence, that you are aware of the presence of god. When you ask am I aware, you’re really asking, am I aware that this is the presence of god?

Breathe in and ask, am I aware?
Breathe out and rest in that recognition. That’s where you stay. That’s how you stay as you are.

When you stay there, you’re not thinking about what you like or dislike, what you want to happen or don’t want to happen. When you rest as pure awareness, everything comes to you in perfect timing, miraculously!

Breathing in, am I aware?
Breathing out, yes! I am aware!

Feel this place that we’re in, this placeless place. There’s no need to think. There’s no need to judge. There’s no need to wonder. You can just stay here, kind of floating, kind of vibrating. Just existing as you are: Love, yeah, love.

Breathing in, am I aware?
Breathing out, am I aware?

Ask yourself this all day, any time you find a preference. When you resist something, when someone does something you don’t like? Am I aware? And then you conquer that right then and there. You take care of it right there. You go back to your source and you remember who you are. And everything starts flowing again.

Breathing in, am I aware?
Breathing out, yes! I am aware. And I am now in the flow!
