Letting Go of the Sense of the Doer

welcome everybody to tonight's live stream notice uh i have no background screen up in fact there's the background screen right there in the background so uh one of these days i'll get um a piece of software that allows me to blur the background on the live stream on youtube which turns out to be kind of a hard thing to find and i'll get that set up and so on but for now i'm not too worried about it uh my question for you is how is the live stream looking is it lagging kind of looks to me like it might be lagging so if it is i'll just move my hand does that all look normal does everything sound normal please give me the go ahead if it does or let me know if it doesn't in the chat window please okay wonderful thanks for the feedback everybody so um let's just begin i'm going to invoke ganesh the elephant-headed god which is not only a hindu deity but also a something a buddha or a deity a bodhisattva often invoked in vajrayana so um [Music] [Laughter] so we just uh ask the elephant-headed lord to knock through to use its elephant power his elephant power to just blast away all our obstacles all the obstacles to meditation so whenever you begin anything you can invoke ganesh um and that's what we just did so from there let's begin our meditation practice and so what i want you to do is set up your posture get either seated upright in a chair with your back not leaning against the back of the chair but actually sitting up straight your lower back curved properly so your head is upright tuck your chin a lot of people meditate with your chin out here or like kind of in a vision sleep thing like this or sometimes down here but what we want is bring your head to level so your chin is level and then tuck it just a tiny bit just a couple degrees opens up the back of the neck and then let the whole rest of your body relax and that is our posture okay and as usual from the place of setting up our posture what i'd like you to do is then set up your intention so think why am i meditating what am i doing here tonight so i'll give you a silent moment to do that for yourself good and then what i want you to do like we did last week i want you to um use a metaphor for your set so the metaphor is to sit like we did last week sit like an ocean okay so whatever that means to you i want you to sit like a great ocean so it's very relaxed and yet incredibly powerful it's both deeply peaceful and ever moving there's no this is a mythical world ocean so there's no boundaries and it has the the qualities of water it has that um real relaxed released total openness of water so i want you to sit like a great ocean find the sense of ocean in your posture okay often times in the past we've sat like a mountain but today we're sitting like a great ocean very relaxed very at ease and yet tremendously powerful it's not asleep this great ocean is very awake and yet totally in repose so find that quality in your posture now sit like a great ocean good and i want to take a kind of an unusual route in this week into our into our kind of psychological setup for our meditation if you've been coming on the regular to these kind of meditations you know that we're going to like visualize a buddha and then take on buddha properties things like confidence things like clarity so on but i want to start from an unusual place tonight and this is very it's a very common place to come from spiritually and it's a very deep powerful place and if you're not feeling this that's okay you just wait a minute and then we'll go into the visualization um but what i want you to do is instead of being all up upbeat and ready try coming in to a sense of your vulnerability and your humanness in the sense of like your your frailty and your um let's say broken openness the fact that as human beings we don't really know how we got here we don't know where we go to we don't really have control over very much and the sense that we are you know kind of in charge can can really sometimes seem like a big joke and so this is kind of kind of this humble broken open open-hearted place to come into our sit from right we kind of come in sometimes if it's strong we can almost come in on our knees a little bit like wow i'm just one little human and the world is you know very huge dangerous confusing place and do i really know what i'm even doing and do i really know if how to do anything right and so this is not a place of self-criticism it's just a place of kind of contacting the human condition of feeling like kind of vulnerable naked and broken open i want to just have you if it's authentic for you right now to just notice that feeling really clearly and then from that place from that place of feeling naked and vulnerable and maybe kind of uh helpless from there we can then ask for help and it doesn't even in a way it doesn't even matter who we're asking help from whom we're asking for help it's just more the mood of feeling like damn i could use some real help in every way right and just tuning into that broken-heartedness broken openness humility kind of place and just asking for help and from there from that place of like asking for help then we visualize a buddha we'll use the same buddha that we used last week so we'll use the buddha green tara right green tara is a a beautiful female buddha she is all green she's seated on a lotus blooming lotus which is in this case we'll say it's a white lotus and she's floating on the ocean our vast world ocean but green tara um has kind of an earth mother vibe and one in her iconography her right foot instead of being in perfect lotus posture her right foot is actually down touching uh almost touching the ground it's actually on a lotus but that lotus instead of being up on her lotus throne it's down on the ground so she's kind of reaching out with her foot into the world so i want you to visualize green tara um let me see if i have a green tara image available hang on here's one so i don't know if you can see that that's green tara this is a little card i got from tara mandela so a whole you know a vadriana buddhist meditation center dedicated to green tara it's real reflective sorry but you get the idea if you really want to look up green tara you can do it anyway i want you to visualize this beautiful buddhist she's a female buddha we could almost say like a buddhist goddess but more accurately she's a buddha and from from this place of broken openness and vulnerability and asking for help just allow yourself to receive some help from green tara and again you can take this as completely a psychological uh imagination exercise or you can take it as a real thing it's up to you but even as a psychological imagination exercise so you know there's no such thing as green tara but we're just going to imagine it even that way of doing it it's very powerful so um i want you to picture this goddess and then from your place of feeling humble and kind of maybe helpless and broken open and in need of help notice that green tara is reaching out to you beaming a sense of love and kindness towards you and that love and kindness is filling you up and then you feel loving and kind even if it's just a tiny bit from your place of wide openness now you feel more loving and kind and from this this green tara from green tara the buddha you feel a sense of wisdom and clarity coming into your mind and you feel the wisdom and clarity of a fully enlightened buddha green tara now filling the mind again even if it's just a tiny bit you notice that sense of wisdom and clarity coming in so you feel love and compassion wisdom and clarity i want you to feel a sense of confidence and competence the buddha green tara knows how to do uh everything perfectly well so she's beaming that sense of confidence and competence into you and you can feel your own sense of competence and confidence arising and lastly she's buddhas are playful she's beaming a sense of playfulness and spontaneity and joy towards you and you feel that sense of spontaneity playfulness and joy this whole meditation is a game soul meditation is play and so we're willing to play in this realm of visualizing this goddess and taking on these properties and notice as you take them on you feel it you feel more loving and compassionate you feel more wisdom and clarity you feel more playfulness and spontaneity and joy and you feel more confidence and competence so we're almost like allowing the buddha green tara to bring us into a place of where we can meditate it's almost like green tara is going to do gift our meditation to us so i want you to i'll just be quiet here for a few minutes and i want you to visualize the buddha green tara and take on these properties okay so you don't have to remember them but essentially wisdom and clarity love and love and kindness or love and compassion joy and playfulness and spontaneity and confidence and competence so let's do that for a few minutes together excellent now from this place of wisdom and clarity openness kindness competence confidence playfulness spontaneity let's begin doing the guided focus on breathing practice so i want you to breathe nice and slow allowing your belly to really rise and fall your belly should be visibly rising and falling with each breath and i want you to um allow the mind to just rest on that sense of the breath rising and falling rising and falling feel the the belly expanding all the way around even in back even on the sides not just in front but all the way around the belly expanding the chest expanding on the in-breath and then the belly and just kind of collapsing back on the out breath and keep bringing awareness back to the feeling of breathing in the body let's do that together each time the mind gets distracted you get caught up in thinking come back to just feeling the breath feeling the breath feeling the breath if you're having trouble with a lot of thought happening you could use the green tara mantra to help to kind of calm down straight thinking by using intentional mantra thinking so you would just say um [Music] in your mind over and over and that will tend to interrupt any distraction type thinking and keep you focused now from here we're going to do a variation on our breath meditation practice that i sometimes use and the variation is that i want you to imagine that on the in-breath you're breathing in through every pore of your body so it's not that the breath is just coming in your nose or your mouth it's coming in through everywhere all over the body the entire surface of the body is breathing in of course it's just a visualization but you can feel so you can feel it in your body it's an interesting visualization and then on the out breath same thing the breath is going out through the entire surface of the skin the every pore in the body so breathing in through the skin breathing out through the skin and feel the air the sense of the air coming in all the way all over the body even in the back even on the sides all over the body and then on the all blasters it's going out all over the body so bring that into your visualization of breathing staying nice and focused okay good now let's drop the intentional focus and the visualization and all that and doing mantra drop all of that and let's just simply drop into dropping the ball so let go of all doing let go of all engagement and just rest as vast spacious awareness awareness aware of awareness not engaging with thought not engaging with feeling not engaging with the external world but simply resting as awareness remember that if the mind grabs onto something just drop it that's the ball we're dropping when we're dropping them off the mind grabs onto another thing just relax mind starts getting engaged just relax over and over again you're only the only thing that's happening is if the mind gets engaged you're letting go of it but if it's not getting engaged then the mind is just resting openly as vast spacious awareness begin my okay so now we're going to switch from dropping the ball to a the passionate move but we're going to do uh you know often with the vipassana here we look into thought or feeling but we're going to do the pasha move that i teach sometimes where we just look for the mind so i want you to spend the next section here actively trying to find your mind and again this is not some kind of quiz i don't want some kind of philosophical answer you're not going to find the answer in memory or in concept i just want you to look actively and find your mind where is it where is your mind look this is the papashana now remember to look now in your experience this is not some kind of quiz this is not a test just look right now where is your mind show me your mind find your mind hint you probably can't so isn't this interesting this mind that you have you cannot locate it keep trying see if you can locate it okay good now drop that inquiry and just come back draw it drop right into dropping the ball just resting as awareness but now coming from a place where you realize the mind itself is empty not empty as in no content but empty in the buddhist sense you cannot find the mind just rest his awareness with an unfindable mind okay good now this time i want to do something in the vapasana section slightly different i want you to look for the doer the sense of a doer so you as the one who is doing it i want you to find that doer and if you find it notice the emptiness of the doer but synonymous with the emptiness of the doers you might not even be able to find it so the paradox here is even though you're actually doing something which is looking i want you to look for the really look really closely find the doer and notice you can't actually find the doer the doer is empty so look for the doer now who is doing this meditation where is the sense of dealership located find it now keep looking find the sense of being the doer see if you can find it if you think you have found it notice its emptiness notice its nebulosity notice you can't really pin it down okay good now come back to dropping the ball but this time notice the ball just drops itself there's nobody doing that activity it's simply happening each time the mind is involved with something it releases each time the mind begins to get grabbed onto something it automatically releases there's no doer of that activity it's just doing itself completely letting go of the sense of doing something on purpose or doing anything at all relaxing that and noticing what a relief it is to just let go of the dewarship and just allow the meditation to do itself without any sense of doership at all okay good so let's come back again to the inquiry slash the passionate section and go over it again same thing i want you to notice the lack of a doer there is no doer look for the doer and notice you can't find it if you think you find one look very carefully and notice there is no doer okay keep looking find the spot in your body where the doer is located notice you can't find it find the spot in your mind where the doer is located notice you can't find it keep looking good now from that place of no doership and inability to find the doer even inability to find a mind come back to dropping the ball in this case the practice of dropping the ball is just allowing the ball to drop itself if you get the sense of a doer happening that's just another ball that drops itself the meditation is doing itself good now from here just allow that sense of love and kindness to radiate out in all directions just allow the sense of wisdom and clarity to radiate out in all directions simply allow the sense of joy and playfulness and spontaneity to radiate out in all directions and let that sense of confidence and competence radiate out in all directions and just feel that growing and radiating outward very very powerfully very very beautifully a lot of openness and a lot of joy this great very very good let's end the meditation there allow yourself to move and stretch feel free to have a drink of water go to the bathroom whatever you need to do after sitting still for an hour and you can begin to put questions in the chat window if you're live streaming with me this evening and i will do an ama toss your questions in there and i will attempt to answer them um let me know how that meditation went something that's incredibly central to non-dual practice is the sense of being the doer remember that in that dualism is something we're creating in our mind we're creating a sense of me over here and other over there we're creating a sense of me in here and the world out there and this is something we're doing in our minds it's like a virtual thing it's a virtual world a kind of a overlay that we're putting on everything and one of the strongest ways that we create that sense of separation or that sense of me over here in the world over there that the dualism is we create the sense of doership we create a sense of being a doer and this sense of being the doer is illusory in fact even even neuroscience seems to agree that the sense of dealership is something that we it's like an epiphenomena it's something that we add on after the fact if we're talking about it in in neuroscience terms it's the brain already is doing it the brain already decided to do it but after the fact we add this sense of me meaning the personality the sense of self did it me the personality decided to do it it's an add-on and that is actually happening uh after the fact even several hundred milliseconds after the fact so it's it's a epiphenomenon and it's an add-on and it's in that sense it's incorrect it's illusory we aren't from the personality from the ego that's not actually doing anything except claiming the credit it's like the classic thing where you know um in in our society where you know uh the classic sexist trope in our society which is very very true like a woman will have the great idea and then a man steps in and claims it and everyone thinks he came up with the idea and so it's the same thing all day long in our mind where uh the the being is simply doing it but the ego or the personality or the sense of self steps in after the fact and just takes credit for everything now why does that matter why are we meditating on it well for one uh it's not true right so just in the sense of wanting to see what's really going on seeing the doer as a construction seeing the doer as an empty construction of mind like an avatar in our mind um just like you know if you're on a website you can design an avatar for yourself or let's say you're in a first person shooter game you outfit your avatar and you set all its qualities and you get all its gear and clothing and hair color and skin color and eye color and various weapons and all that just the way you want it but that's all just created it's just an avatar that's happening in the playstation it's not real in the same way the ego or the personality of the sense of self is just an avatar uh created in your mind to represent yourself and usually the representations are based on you know your background and your history like oh this this happened to me when i was a kid so the avatar looks like this and people told me i was you know let's say good at x y and z when i was a kid so the avatar is good at x y and z and um same with uh when i was a kid people said i was bad at a b and c and so avatar is bad at it and so we just take all this stuff and we are glamming it together into this imaginary avatar in the mind and then that avatar takes credit for everything that we're doing and so we want to see that clearly part of why we're doing it is just to see that clearly but furthermore what happens when you see that clearly what happens when you see that clearly is you drop out of the avatar the avatar can still be running just like you can still play the video game but you realize that you're not really the avatar you drop out of that avatar and you have a tremendous sense of freedom a tremendous sense of openness a tremendous sense of relief of lightening the burden now just metaphorically imagine you're playing this first person shooter and you've got this avatar and you're really involved in the game you really matters to you that you you know go to this these various checkpoints it really matters to you that you score a lot of points and get badges and you know go through the levels progress through the levels and so on you're really really intensely focused on that video game character but then someone reminds you that you better go eat and so you kind of like snap out of it and drop out of the game and go make yourself a sandwich now what happened to all that worry what happened to all that involvement what happened to all that fraught intense energy it's just you just drop it you realize the whole the whole video game character is just imaginary in a way in the same way we drop the ego we drop the personality it can still be there but we drop out of that involvement in all its tension and you will sense a tremendous feeling of openness relief relaxation you're still doing stuff you're still involved in the world the world still matters but how it matters changes dramatically how you feel about it changes dramatically there's much more ease and playfulness and openness and joy and clarity okay so that's why we do that in the dropping the ball meditation it has always been designed to help you do that but i want you to you know get in tune deeply in that in tune with the sense of not even being the doer of the meditation not even having a doer of the meditation the meditation is just doing itself so let's take a look at the questions and comments here in the chat window look like miles says just a comment i enjoyed this entry into the buddha nature qualities i've been feeling these difficult feelings a lot later lately and felt so i felt seen and felt touched by green tara right that's exactly right sometimes we're coming to the cushion not always not always but sometimes we're coming to the cushion having a lot of difficulties maybe having a lot of on just tough stuff happening and it's just not available to sit down and be like i feel confident and i feel joyous and you don't want to push that instead you want to get authentic about how you're actually feeling and get honest and grounded in the feeling of let's say brokenness and difficulty and maybe even really strong feelings um i don't want you to dig into a sense of attacking yourself or feeling you know negativity about yourself it's more of a um man i'm just a human being you know with feet of clay and it's really hard right now and i just need some help you just open like that right it's really a great honesty authentic humble place to drop into and begin from heather's says something similar loved going in broken open so perfect for me today it's often it's perfect for so many of us we and remember we're not doing this as some kind of strategy like a cynical strategy i'm going to pretend to be broken open today so that i my meditation will be good that's exactly the opposite it's only when it's real only when it feels like man i just i'm i'm crawling on my knees to this meditation today when it feels like that then you just let it just be broken open just cry out for help and then go from there and i think you'll find it very very helpful clay says when i look for my mind i find a place in my head from where where i appear to be aware from but it's not exactly in one place i almost crossed my eyes to get there am i imagining that space as me well look as you say it seems to move it's not in or you said you didn't say that you said it's not in one place yeah interesting keep looking see if you can find the one real place that the mind is coming from because no matter even if you cross your eyes even if it seems to be there look at that spot where it seems to be look closely is there a me there is there is that really where the mind is can you see the mind there can you feel the mind there look carefully i my my strong suggestion is you won't find it there it seems like it's there but when you look closely it was a mirage and it might suddenly seem to be in another place and so you go to that other place you look there it's not there either guess what it's because the mind as a thing doesn't exist it's not a thing there's a sense of a mind but it's not a thing so this practice of where's my mind comes from this famous koan right but it's not just a koan it's a it's a story about bodhi dharma so who was bodhidharma bodhidharma was the monk who brought zen to china so we think of zen zen is a japanese word we think of zen in america as being a japanese thing but zen is really originally from china the japanese culture got it from china and in china it's not called zen it's called chan where but where does chan really come from it came from an indian buddhist monk who brought john to china he left india and went on a pilgrimage to china to bring zen or john or what in sanskrit he didn't call it chan bodhidharma called it dion right which is just the sanskrit word for meditation it's the word in pali jhana jana diana chan and in fact in original chinese it was chana and then they shortened it to chan and then when you say chan in japanese it's zen so bodhidharma is the indian monk who brought zen to china and so there's this famous story in you know bodhi dharma is very imposing terrifying scary figure yeah he's meditating in front of a wall and one of the new chinese monks comes up and says i'm you know my mind is really bothering me my mind is agitated and upset can you pacify my mind and bodhidharma says yes i can pacify your mind bring me your mind and i'll pacify it the monk goes away totally you know doesn't know what to do keeps looking for his mind looking for his mind looking for his mind and suddenly realizes he can't find this thing that's supposedly so upsetting he can't find this mind that's supposedly so agitating so he comes back to buddy dharma and he says i can't find my mind and bodhidharma says see i pacified it for you so it's it's a great story and and it's very zen and they it's a it it was turned in this chan the the chinese tradition john it was turned into a koa and so instead of doing it as a koan we're doing it as an inquiry i could have said bring me your mind that's that's a real zen type thing to say but instead i said show me show me your mind or look for your mind right so when we try to find it we can't find it and that in itself is an insight that's why we did that as part of our fapationa our insight section looking for the mind you can't find it that's an insight and it brings relief john says i love this entire meditation i can't help wondering earlier on where does awareness fall in terms of the five aggregates sort of seems like consciousness but it's something else right yes because the five aggregate model is an early buddhist model and as you you correctly say in the five aggregate model there's consciousness but that's different than awareness awareness is from later buddhism it's not consciousness it's the buddha nature right it's the bodhichitta it's the awakened mind okay so because you have a buddha nature because you're already a liberated buddha there deep inside that buddha awareness is what we're talking about different than consciousness as a as a as a one of the aggregates from early buddhism chris says how do we investigate the virtualness of the avatar of the mind find its impermanence it feels kind of real behind my eyes and face well in early buddhism like you just said you look for its impermanence the way i'm teaching though you though i just want you to look directly and see that when you look at your eyes or feel it behind your eyes or feel it behind your face look closely and you cannot actually find it it's what it's really it's not exactly the same thing but it's related to in early buddhism if you are looking for its anata it's no self quality but in this type of meditation we're looking directly at its emptiness which is equivalent to saying you can't actually find it in a in a really sort of low resolution impressionistic sense it feels like it's behind your eyes or in your face kind of feels that way sure but investigate carefully behind your eyes and your face you can't find a mind there you can't find the avatar anywhere that's the point those sensations that's an insight you you feel those sensations and you realize i've been calling some sensations behind my eyes and face me but when i look at those sensations or feel those sensations very clearly there's no me in them at all it's completely imaginary oh isn't that fascinating right that's insight that's insight into emptiness siobhash says hi thanks a question from the previous week is awareness of a sensation separate from that sensation content how can there be awareness without any see here feel sensations well find out i want you to find the answer to that question in your own experience um i would say awareness of in sensation actually can't be separate from a sensation the content of the sensation but awareness without content is possible and what we're doing is just resting in awareness i never said it has to be with no content i said awareness we're not getting involved in content okay so it's not as stark as you're making it seem i didn't i'm never saying oh rest as awareness with no content if you were doing that you couldn't even hear the guided meditation right that would be you know like a a nervous samadhi state instead what i'm talking about is sensations are arising but we're just not engaging with them we're not grabbing on and getting involved or just instead allowing the mind to rest allowing awareness to rest in itself hi folks tanya says at one point when i was looking for my mind it felt like it was everywhere was everything yeah that's mind with a capital m that's awareness right that's and notice how different that is than the feeling of oh my mind locked inside my head which is like small mind my thoughts and feelings that i'm always grinding on for a moment there at one point it was everywhere it was everything that's vast spacious awareness right that's that's an insight you had tanya that's very good jamie seems easier or harder to notice emptiness based on a state of mind i'm not sure that's kind of a telegraphic comment so i'm not sure exactly what you're pointing at there so i will just say yep it can be easier or harder all right so remember that this is the first meditation i'm gonna switch gears here for a minute this is the first guided meditation night that i'm doing on my own in a long time this is not sponsored by san francisco dharma collective this is just sponsored by me and as usual my um my desire my goal if i was speaking sanskrit i'd say my son culpa which is more like a vow but my desire is that i give these meditations free to the world there there's hundreds and hundreds of guided meditations on here i'm doing it free for the world it's just there for the taking the the tree is full of fruit come and get some the garden is it's like summer here in california the garden's full of zucchini come and have all the zucchini you want there's more than enough for everybody it's free to the world um on the other hand if you would like to help me put these meditations out to the world if you'd like to support what i'm doing here help pay for the streaming gear and so on and so forth i would deeply appreciate it if you donated on the donation page that pranab just listed there in the chat window which is basically on my site deconstructing yourself and the address is deconstructingyourself.com donate that's the page now right now that page which is a wordpress page is doing something really weird i've been doing wordpress forever like as long as it's been around i've been doing it i've never seen this particular mistake the page is showing the content twice you'll see all the donation links and stuff twice when i go into the uh edit window even in the uh uh the non-gooey part of the edit window there's just all the stuff once so i haven't figured out what the issue is there so notice that uh the don't let me say don't be distracted by the fact that the stuff is there twice i'll also put my van mo name in the chat window here and i'll get that on that donation page because it's not there currently thank you for reminding me of that tiny here's my venmo handle which is michael

death sangha we will be doing through sfdc prana put the link there the eventbrite link in uh the chat window so sign up for that you have to sign up in advance we don't do dasanga live over the internet because it's too freaky it's too upsetting it's too scary um but if you so if you're feeling really vulnerable and maybe like traumatized i would not go to death sangha save it for when you're feeling like you want to deepen your practice with something pretty challenging and also something that's very traditional meditating on death even in this very scary intense way very very traditional practice so come to death song a saturday night if you feel up to it i love doing death sangha look forward to seeing you there and then pranab has also uh got the link in there for our

ball my eyes are open so that's why i'm sitting here i'll take my glasses off but that's why i'm sitting here with my eyes open in the long run most nondual meditation is done eyes open and just let go of any doing and let go of any involvement with anything and the mind is simply resting awareness is simply resting in awareness we're staying completely uninvolved with the mind without any doing of any kind there's just clear bright resting awareness um [Music] let go of being the doer let go of the sense of doing anything at all bright clear awareness is just resting in itself all right everybody let's let go of that now we'll end the meditation thank you so much for joining me this week uh i love all your comments and questions it's so much fun for me to do this i hope to see you
