Who is choosing? Life is, the I is Universal

Life experiencing through form. Life is choosing, not the personal I, we think ourselves to be.
This universal I, is experiencing itself, loving itself, unfolding, revealing itself to itself.

‘Life is choosing how it wants to play in the world’ poignant quote ❤️

I think it was Rumi who said. Those who were dancing were thought to be mad by those who could not hear the music.

Splendid to be with this pointing. Thank you, Collette. When I look, I see that there is no thinker, and being with that my thoughts arise as expressions of being. This apparently separate self, and these thoughts that seem to be the opinions of the separate self, are all expressions of being. One thought that comes up Is that all of this thinking, all of this separate self, is just God thinking about itself, the universe seeing the universe. Life chooses. That's just so perfect and beautiful.

Thank you Collette, so lovely that you sit outside to film and share your experience.. I was walking today, absorbed in the sights and sounds.. the trees whispering in the wind, birds singing, the warmth of sunlight dancing, the sweet smell of summer grass.. nothing seperate just experiencing ✨

We needn't question where thoughts come from, we must question the "stage" on which they appear. That stage is most always the stage of duality, of the "personal" I, me, mine. Once we understand and grasp that, we can begin to realize thoughts for what they are, fleeting and inconsequential. Then, we gain the ability to detach from those that are unimportant in our daily living and focus on those that do need our attention, for ourselves and others. It has taken me eight years to get here and I wouldn't trade that for anything. I'm confident there is even more for me to realize...it's a journey, for sure.

its not more its less

[@phk2000]

I can be driving along and a thought comes up: "Need to get some coffee!" Now where did that come from??? It's as if two angels are up there looking and down and one says, "He's nearly out of coffee - send him the coffee thought!" The thought never came from "me" that's for sure. It's not me who chooses to buy my beverages or anything else! :-)

[@GeertMeertens]

The most essential topic, Collette! If I understand you correctly: look back on any dream to see that we always identify with the seemingly separate person and regard the rest as other(s). Each and every time it takes an awakening to realize our mistake: we never ever were a person. We are consciousness in which everything appears. Life is but a dream. We can again identify with the person and hence suffer. Or we can awaken into the dream and start lucid living.

[@collettewhiteman]

Yes beautifully expressed.

[@Mochara_aido]

Another clear video, thank you. I had an experience of impersonal awareness recently and thought, I have this; there it is, after all this looking. It seemed so obvious - I just didn't follow thoughts. I woke up next morning and 'it' had gone, though I realise that sounds ridiculous. It's always there, I just have to keep chipping away and uncover it again.

[@collettewhiteman]

I have to keep chipping away and uncover it again, is a thought, just a thought. Just like you beautifully pointed out. ‘ I just didn’t follow thoughts’ you just gave yourself a big clue there. 😊

[@collettewhiteman]

🙏🏻💗

[@Mochara_aido]

@@collettewhiteman Thanks, it seems so obvious. I'm just unsure how I was able to decide not to follow thoughts. And now I do. Ridiculous!

[@collettewhiteman]

@@Mochara_aidoidentification with the mind perhaps. Whose thoughts are they? Self inquiry reveals the space, the silence in which thoughts arise. Effortless being, impersonal awareness. There isn’t a personal I in, just being.

[@Ambipath]

This was very grounding, thank you!

[@louisahadley7082]

Hi Collette, I realised my true nature in late February. Thank you for your video. I had a rough day today and I found your voice very soothing. I think I was having trouble just being with my emotions. I was scouring KZbin looking for something to 'bring me back'.

[@collettewhiteman]

@@louisahadley7082 Hi Louisa I’m glad the video was helpful. Thank you for your message. I remember the swinging back and forth. Awake asleep feeling. 💗

[@bruceparker805]

yeah its like its out and then its happening not even now really yeah does anyone else feel that way? yeah?

[@life13525]

how can we drop down when mind is so focused and worried about survival...you seem to be well provided and have no worries...

[@collettewhiteman]

Yes worry, the pull of thoughts about our situations can be very strong and challenging. It can also provide the opportunity to wake up as it feels so bad we seek an alternative. If life is materially good, there is less of a pull to seek the truth. We just keep filling the whole of separation with stuff. Until we realise it’s not making us happy. How much pain are we willing to take to before we turn our attention to what’s already here. The fullness of being. The basics for survival are vital, after that….. I would offer to not suffer, is to focus on being, and see through the beliefs that seem to cloud being. 💗

[@life13525]

thx for taking the time to respond, Colette 🧡the pull with this survival identififcation seems to be a challenging one...as it is emotionally and celluarly charged....

[@collettewhiteman]

@@life13525 yes emotionally, physically and mentally is how it can dance as a separate self experience. After a pull, see I’m awake again, oh great, back to being, rather than dam I feel asleep. As it’s easy to go back into the game if we are frustrated with ourselves. That the mind inviting you back.😊👍💗

[@s.ogden45]

Does awareness need a body to be aware?❤

[@collettewhiteman]

No awareness is formless. But it can experience through a body. Formless appearing as form.

[@collettewhiteman]

It isn’t a thing, it just is. You just are… here…now. Just aware. But not a thing being aware. Awareness itself.
