It happens to many people,
even people who are in Sadhana, in Satsang.
This pure seeing happens.
And for a while,
everything is moving spontaneously.
You are like space moving in space.
Not anymore like object,
but like an emptiness,
and it is pure,
full of joy.
Yes, even beyond the concept of freedom.
But, surprisingly,
there can still be some energy of ego still there.
And it will begin to come,
sometimes very strong.
And you feel, 'What's happened, what's happened?
I'm losing it.'
Then I want to explain what happened.
Still the one who is having this experience
is a mixture
of beingness or you may call consciousness
or presence mixed with conditioning.
Yes. One side wants to go to the Absolute,
And one side wants to go to the body-mind.
And the side which is pulling to go back to past
has many images
to attract
and to frighten you.
All these things will come.
Yes. When we hear of the story of Christ
After his baptism,
a pure moment,
he was pulled into the wilderness
into the desert
to experience 40 days and 40 nights in this — had to be alone.
And in this time all the potential weakness
will come up in his mind.
In a figurative way it is appearing like the Devil.
Yes. And he had to transcend this power,
and you have to transcend this power.
It happened also to the Buddha.
Whatever is dormant,
it will come to the surface now,
and you must slay this dragon.
It's an ancient battle,
one which you must win.
You cannot be tempted
by something that you have no interest in.
You don't have to transcend
what is not important to you.
So you may find this experience
a moment of liberation.
It must come.
And it gives you the power
to KNOW, not believe, that there is that reality.
If you hold to this knowledge,
then when the mind comes,
you will transcend it.
