time to catch the I Am, the Absolute Reality. For at that moment, this is exactly what you are, Pure Awareness, and then the thought comes, it covers it up. So remember this: If you tell yourself when you go to sleep, “Tomorrow morning as I open my eyes I am going to identify with my source, I Am,” and you will. Even for a second, it will change your life.
As you keep on doing this every morning, every morning, every morning, the time between your awakening and the thought coming to you will become larger. And the space will expand and expand and expand, until you are able to stay in the Awareness. Of course at that time there will no longer be a you. There will only be the Awareness. Try it. You have to investigate. You have to intelligently dive deep within yourself and find the Source of your I.
Do not accept your feeling. Do not accept your thoughts. Watch yourself feeling miserable, and do nothing about it; you can become the witness to it. That will help too. But it’s better to ask, “Why am I feeling miserable?” And realize that you said why am “I” feeling miserable. I. I’m identifying with my body as I. Again a mistake. The I in itself is pure harmony, joy, happiness. But when you identify the I with your body/mind, it becomes the personal I which doesn’t even exist. But you’re making it exist. You’re identifying with it. Why do you want to identify with your personal I? Your personal I never existed. Why have you befriended it? Why do you keep giving it power? Why do you make it grow?
Take your power back. Expose yourself, the real you, and forget all this nonsense about a mind and a body and thoughts and the world and God and everything else that appears to be real. Compare yourself with no one. Be true to your Self. Never mind how much progress somebody else is making. Forget

about saints and sages and other people. You are the only one that ever existed and there is no one but you. You are all the saints and the sages and the seers. You are everything. Every- thing is the Self, and you are That. Why not awaken to this? Why do you want to play games with yourself so long? By believing in reincarnation you just come back again and again and again, and hoping to have a better life next time. There is no better life.
Aslongas you are born of the flesh you have to suffer. This is the way of the flesh. Do not try to improve your life. You’re making a big mistake. For there is no question about it, if you use positive thinking and use your mind, you may appear to improve your life. But remember, this world in which you live is a world of duality. For every up there is a down. For every forward there is a backward. For every good there is a bad. Therefore, whatever improvement comes in your life, it will last for a while, then will subside, then you become miserable again. Then you will be happy again when you get what you want, and then that will not last, and you will be miserable again. You’ll start sticking up for your rights and fighting for your survival. Then as you get what you want, you’ll be happy again. You’re like a yo-yo. You go up and down, up and down. And no matter how much! talk to you about this, you’re going to keep on doing this. So why am I talking? I don’t know. I have no choice.
You know, I never asked to do this. Strange how things turn out.
Too late now.
All know is that all is well, and everything is unfolding as it should. All I know is, that happiness is your true nature. That you are not what you appear to be, and things are not
