Stay Divinely Determined (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 smile because life is not serious.
Breathe out and slow down.

Let your thoughts slow down to the pace of your breath. Let yourself relax into this moment right here, right now.

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

Yes, the dogs are barking. Yes, I feel irritable. Yes, I want people to do things other than what they’re doing. Yes, I want things to be other than how they are. Yes, I’m seeking for change so that I can feel better. Yes, I’m seeking. Yes, I’m seeking again. Yes, I’m seeking again.

Breathe in and notice where you’re seeking.
Breathe out and just notice.

Notice the tendency of your thoughts to look for problems. Notice the tendency of your thoughts to be measuring, comparing, describing—all pointless activities, unless you need them for math or to make decisions.

Breathe in and notice the pointlessness of your thoughts.
Breathe out and notice your thoughts, period.

If you’re in a bad mood, if you don’t feel well, it’s your thoughts. Today, take some time to notice what you’re thinking.

Breathe in and notice your next thought.
Breathe out and wait for it to come.

What is your next thought? Mine is, I can’t wait for this to be over.

Breathe in and notice your next thought.
Breathe out and watch it come.

Let it go, let it go.

Breathe in and notice the next thought.
Breathe out and watch it cross your attention.

What is your next thought? “I wonder what he’s doing down there.” The thoughts keep coming and coming and coming and coming. If you’re not watching, if you’re not noticing them, you become them. And that’s when the suffering begins.

Breathe in and watch your thoughts.
Breathe out and notice your thoughts.

Notice how it’s the uncomfortable thoughts causing the uncomfortable feelings. Now that you’ve noticed, you’re free. Now that you’ve noticed, the change you wanted is already here.
You’re not your thoughts. You don’t have to believe them. They’re not true. They’re not you.

Breathe in and ask, “Am I aware?”
Breathe out and notice, “Yes, I am.”

Asking, “Am I aware?” as your presence practice helps you keep that distance from your thoughts. It helps you notice your thoughts instead of being your thoughts.

Breathing in, “Am I aware?”
Breathing out, “Yes, I am aware.”

I am aware that I am aware. When I am aware, I have no problems because I am the pure awareness in which the thoughts arise. I’m not the thoughts that are the problems themselves.

Breathing in, “Am I aware?”
Breathing out, “Yes, I am aware.”

Stay devoted to this practice. Stay divinely determined to be awareness, to stay as you are, to reveal your natural state of bliss. You already are all the things you want. It’s only the thoughts covering up your natural state that makes you suffer.

Breathe in and ask again, “Am I aware?”
Breathe out and really investigate. Do it for real right now. “Am I aware?”

Am I aware? Do I exist? Do I know what’s going on? Yes, I am aware.

When you are focused on awareness itself, there’s no more room left for attention on thinking. The suffering dissipates. You’re free.

Breathing in, “Am I aware?”
Breathing out, “Yes, I am.”

Rest here in the background of experience. It’s the awareness that makes up everything. And when you rest your attention on the background, life takes care of the rest. Your problems are solved. Life works it out magickally.

Breathing in, “Am I aware?”
Breathing out, “Yes, I am.”

Breathing in, “Am I aware?”
Breathing out, “Yes, I am.”

Even if you don’t immediately feel relief or miracles or manifestations, stay with this practice for a few minutes at a time and you will notice tangible results very quickly. This tree bears immediate fruit.

Breathing in, “Am I aware?”
Breathing out, “Yes, I am aware and I am now in the flow.”

This is the immediate fruit. The flow is here. It’s revealed.
