Satsang with Mooji

Remove Everything That is Not Original to You.
[Questioner:] There seems to have been a lot of
fire and insight with questions prior to this
and release and you know just...
The old 'I' is illusionary
and then there's this question now that just
has it seem as though I'm back stuck again.
[Mooji:] Yes, you are what?
[M:] Slow down again.
You who is stuck, again, is what?
Put some images to your words,
and look at your stuck self, and see if it is true -
if it's not just something made up.
What can you call yourself to be stuck?
Are you form or formless?
Only a form can seem stuck.
How can the formless be stuck?
Or have you not reached that place yet? - you see.
Otherwise we stop this right now;
throw everything away.
Throw everything away, including this question.
Let's try another door.
Throw everything away; all concerns away.
Throw, throw, throw, throw, throw, throw, throw
until there is nothing left to throw.
Do it quickly; the house is on fire.
Throw, throw, throw, throw, throw.
Throw, throw.
What cannot be thrown?
Throw even the hands that throw,
and witness what remains, here.
No imagination is needed.
Don't imagine.
Some supernatural police have come
and their going to do a strip search.
They go through your body, they take everything;
all your clothes, all your things, they take everything,
then you are completely naked.
Then you say, 'Well that's not me.'
They're looking for you,
looking for you. 'Where are you?'
They take your clothes -
all the pockets: empty, empty, empty.
Clothes clothes clothes, out out out.
Everything: clothes are gone.
Organs now: heart - take out.
Kidney - hoom, ha ha.
Lungs, bladder - phff.
Eyes - phff, phff.
Which are you?
Will they find you?
Take everything - boom boom boom boom -
everything.
Bones, flesh - take everything.
'Where is she? Where is she?'
Your thought. 'Ah, memory! We found her.'
Take - pua-pff.
[Laughing]
Something watches: memory gone, kidney gone,
lungs gone, heart gone, bladder gone.
[Laughing]
Memeory is gone.
Desire gone. Attachments gone.
Everything that can be found is gone;
they have taken everything.
They are raiding this house. Everything is out.
Blood gone.
Marrow, bones, everything gone.
Who are you?
Where will they find you?
[Q:] Oh, this is.... I... [moans]
[M:] It's too gruesome an example?
[Q:] No. No.
It's a strong sense of frustration.
I feel like I have come to this place many times.
I don't know if this is... [M:] Frustration, gone.
[Laughing]
[M:] The one who has come to this place, also gone.
Come play with me.
Come play with me: my game is very good.
[Q:] Okay.
[M:] Something keeps referring always back to the past;
to the past notion or self-image of you.
And you can always wake it up.
Something always wakes it up, through memory:
'Yes, the way I was before.'
My last memory recreates my whole self
but that is also seen.
The last time we came here;
we'll finish like that today, with this simple exercise;
you can all participate.
It's very much like I've been speaking.
We've all shown up.
You've all shown up.
And before you can go into your final satsang
we have some tests for you,
like this.
First you will come;
we have to remove, phenomenally,
everything that is not original to you.
Everything that is not original,
we are going to have to leave it,
because we need to step on this scale
- this metaphysical scale -
and only we need a reading at this precise moment
of what is original to you;
everything that is organic.
So, all your contact lenses you have to take out;
your body rings, all these things;
any sort of false things, false eyelashes, weave ons,
anything like that;
your fillings, all this type of stuff.
We take everything out...
everything that is not original [inaudible].
'Okay, at this time - scale weigh, exactly - thank you.'
Only what is original, you want.
Now to the next machine:
Whatever is not original with you,
this must be removed also, before you can go to satsang.
So all your memories, they are not original to you.
'We'll take them out. Thank you.' [suction sound]
Out; all your projections: [suction] out.
Your name also; not original.
The body did not come with a name on it.
Name: [suction] take out. Pff. Not there.
All your relationships and the memory of them:
[suction] take out. Pff. Not there.
All your desires: [suction] take out. Pff.
All your projections: [suction] take out.
They are not original to you.
Your identity; who you think you are
and how you want to be are not original.
[Suction] Out.
All your dreams. No, not original.
[Suction] Out.
Your beliefs: [gasps]
[Suction]
Throw them out.
All your experiences:
'Oh, but they were not original, they came later.'
[suction] Throw out.
Your devotion. [gasp]
Yes, devotion. Ah, there's a bit.
[Suction] Out.
[Chuckles]
Step out, let's take a check and we'll look and see...
Anything hiding, anywhere?
Ah! Very good.
Now, only what is original.
Who are you?
Don't answer anything from the past;
not original, just ideas.
Future; speculation... nothing.
Imagination: [suction] Out.
There's something we cannot take out, somehow.
It was not a development, not a construction;
it's not a thought.
I cannot take... What is this?
[Silence]
Eyes still functioning, senses still functioning;
they're not a problem;
there is a silence about them.
[Q:] Fear: Did we take fear out?
[M:] Fear? [Q:] Yes.
[M:] It's still there? Fear?
Well, we took past out, no?
Can fear stay without past?
[Q:] No.
[M:] We took memory out. Can fear stay without memory?
We took identity out. Can fear stay without identity?
Perhaps there is a desire
to retain identity.
Maybe there is a desire to retain identity,
so therefore there is a fear of losing identity.
And if identity goes, then what is left?
What can I count on?
Maybe some place will regard this conversation as very dangerous thing to be doing;
this is very dangerous work.
Because without that personal-self-belief
you cannot be manipulated.
And whatever kind of stubbornness there is inside,
why give it so much importance?
Why believe that; that there is something there?
'There's something still blocking.' Blocking what?
[Silence]
[M:] Are you tightening your heart in any way?
[Q;] Yeah.
[M:] Why is that?
[Q:] I don't know.
[M:] You see, that's not what brought you to satsang.
That is what is trying to prevent your satsang.
Stay with your higher choice.
This is just a seed of avoidance,
something is a little... wants reassurances,
it wants some security; these types of things that come up.
And it has been playing in your life;
the need to be safe, to not go too far;
that your risks are not too big.
Something stops you; suffocates your spontaneity, your dance.
I can only point it out;
the rest you must do. It's up to you.
And I am not waiting with expectation;
it's just a chance you must take or leave.
It's up to you.
[Q:] I'm here to take it.
[M:] Then you must choose it,
not only want it.
[Q:] I'm also quite lost being in this space
and feeling no energy to push on.
I mean my whole satsang
- and even last year - it's just full power,
and now it's....
[M:] You don't want to push on. Then let's go the other way.
It's just as good. Then, leave everything then.
You have no energy to go forward:
Stop.
Then, drop everything then.
Whichever direction you go, as I said,
right there is a door to your inmost being.
Don't fight with yourself.
'I don't have the energy to go forward.'
Then don't go forward.
Don't go forward.
'I just feel like stopping. I just feel like relaxing, just dropping.'
Then drop everything, then.
'Oh, I don't want to drop everything.'
You are freedom itself.
You are love itself.
There is no other source for joy but your own Self.
But you make-believe all of this.
Whichever direction you go, right there is a door to your innermost Being.
[M:] You are here,
but you cannot accept your own freedom.
That's I why say then,
Your mind has dirtied every concept;
so then throw every concept away then,
for the moment.
Throw everything away: don't go there.
You are there before concepts.
You are here before concepts.
Without you, concepts have no meaning; they have no power.
Don't you see this?
Without you concepts have no meaning, have no power.
Either you believe or you endorse them;
you believe them; you embrace them;
you identify with them.
But you were before every concept
because you are not a concept.
So therefore, you can throw every concept.
So that you can see what cannot be thrown;
everything you can throw.
Even this, I say - The lazy mans way to enlightenment -
no work, no hill to climb, nothing to change,
nothing to become, nothing to fix,
nothing to heal.
Pay attention only to your own Self,
but not your person.
If I took your person away, what is left then?
Isn't there something that will even witness
the absence of person? -
presence of person?
But it is unconcerned about it,
because it's not affected by that.
[Music]
You are freedom itself.
You are love itself.
There is no source for joy but your own Self.
