Everything is Consciousness but Without Consciousness Everything is Nothing (Full Satsang)

This is a full recording (excl. the music) from the online "Meetings in Beings" (Satsang) from March, 23rd 2024 (if you'd like to join us sometime, you can find more information below).
Some topics from this meeting:
- The many names of I, Consciousness
- To 'return' back to ourselves is a relaxing, an opening-up, simply being rather than a doing
- Before asking "Who am I?" (Ramana Maharshi), we can start by simply asking "Am I?" : we get in touch effortlessly with this aware, silent background of ourselves
- Without being aware of being aware, we cannot really be touched by anything, nor truly touch anyone : thought, apparently separate from it's source, mostly only touches thought, the mind. It lives in a virtual reality of separation
- Without the ground of being, this body and mind wouldn't experience anything (Adrian telling a story from the Upanishads, where the student learns everything for 12 years but misses out on the essential knowledge or wisdom (jnana): 'Do you know the knower of all this knowledge?')
- Adrian explains this analogy that he uses frequently: 'Everything is God (Consciousness), but without God (Consciousness) everything is nothing'
- I am that which is aware, and this which is aware can never be an object in my experience
- Embodiment is not adding something to the body and mind, it is rather a releasing, an emptying.
- 'Resting in Being' is a "path to" freedom : the peace of being takes care of it. We can spice it up with understanding (Satsang) and 'Resting in Being' can shift to 'Resting as Being'.
