Transcription

Chapter 1: What is the essence of presence in the now?

4.435 - 34.29 Samaneri Jayasara

presence the now refers to our eternity we can never think of it represent it because we are it it is an instantaneous perception that refers to our totality

0

40.632 - 59.716 Jean Klein

Every step undertaken to find it is going away from it. It is the ultimate goal in every human being to know it, to be it.

0

64.382 - 78.684 Samaneri Jayasara

That is everlasting peace and joy. The question, who am I?

0

82.247 - 125.935 Jean Klein

The inquiry to come to know our real nature needs a certain maturity in order to come to this question. By maturity I mean that you know in a certain way already what you are not. This knowing what you are not brings you to the full feeling of what you are. The moment you know what you are not, you are free from all directions.

0

128.478 - 134.224 Jean Klein

And you are brought back to the starting point, which means, who am I?

Chapter 2: How does one inquire into their true nature?

140.296 - 147.925 Jean Klein

In this moment, there's no more reference to anything, anything known.

0

152.611 - 218.259 Samaneri Jayasara

And then I would say, you were taken by reality. There is no more a knower and something known. Just only being the known. When you ask the question, who am I? You don't know the answer. So automatically you find yourself in a state of not knowing. In this state of not knowing your mind is completely unfurnished. You are free from all representation.

0

228.109 - 234.495 Jean Klein

It is only in this state of not knowing, in this openness of not knowing,

0

Chapter 3: What does it mean to be free from representation?

236.534 - 246.371 Jean Klein

waiting for the eventual known. Then the waiting becomes free from what it is waiting for.

0

253.503 - 278.95 Samaneri Jayasara

So in this waiting, without waiting, there is the living answer. Life is consciousness and consciousness is life.

0

283.396 - 299.818 Jean Klein

But one must make a distinction between consciousness or life and its expressions. Its expressions which appear in space and time are objects.

0

302.043 - 307.211 Samaneri Jayasara

But these objects refer to consciousness, to life.

0

314.602 - 333.25 Jean Klein

As long as you have not understood life or consciousness, these expressions are still recognized as objects. But once you understand life, that you are that.

Chapter 4: How does consciousness relate to life and its expressions?

335.633 - 343.181 Jean Klein

You are the life. And these objects are no longer considered as objects.

0

350.209 - 354.294 Samaneri Jayasara

They are simply consciousness that refers to consciousness.

0

358.638 - 395.247 Jean Klein

And they have their own ground in consciousness. That is a very important moment. Otherwise, there's only relationship from object to object, which means conflict. But when the object refers to its home ground, consciousness, there's no more conflict.

0

403.867 - 409.993 Samaneri Jayasara

life, consciousness, we can never objectify it.

0

416.179 - 424.388 Jean Klein

Consciousness is the ultimate subject, the ultimate subject of all objects.

430.394 - 433.857 Samaneri Jayasara

As we said, it can never be an object.

Chapter 5: What does it mean to be enlightened in the context of non-duality?

436.84 - 463.202 Samaneri Jayasara

and we are consciousness. You ask, what does it mean to be enlightened? It supposes that there is somebody to be enlightened,

0

468.397 - 522.805 Jean Klein

As long as you take yourself for a somebody, you live in darkness. When you realize that the somebody is a mental image, it comes into being. When you think of it and you produce it, then you give it up. this image has no more a role to play. And in this instantaneous giving up, it gives you up. It produces, I would say, a great laughing,

0

528.893 - 535.099 Jean Klein

In this laughing, it's like you will feel yourself free from all representation.

0

Chapter 6: How does the absence of self lead to freedom and joy?

540.283 - 549.372 Jean Klein

You function in daily life and all functions refer to you, to consciousness.

0

556.478 - 558.58 Samaneri Jayasara

We are really

0

560.483 - 561.625 Jean Klein

when we are absent.

0

565.55 - 568.214 Samaneri Jayasara

We are the absence of ourself.

0

574.883 - 581.613 Jean Klein

In the absence of ourselves, there is life. There's consciousness.

584.818 - 592.331 Samaneri Jayasara

There's happiness. And life is love.
