There is only being. Simply being. Timeless being. And in that timeless being also arises the idea of you being a
person of you being an individual. That's the dream. What arises is the dreamer. The dreamer of being an
individual that is separate to everything. That's the game that one plays. It's oneness playing the game of
pretending it is a separate individual. It’s nothing right or wrong about it, it is just what's happening. It's
aliveness happening. Radical aliveness arises as a separate individual. And from the moment of that
separation arises the clock starts ticking and seeking happens. The dream seeker arises and seeks being, seeks
timelessness. And grows up as a child and it taught this and that as a student in school it’s taught what to do
and how to organize this life, how to make its life work. When you get a job it it's taught how to do work and
make that work successful. If it's interested in religion this dream seeker will go and meet a priest and he will
tell how to become a true Christian or true Buddhist. But at all the time this dream seeker knows that there's
something missing, knows that there's a secret it can't get out. There's a sense of loss from the moment of
separation there's a sense of loss. It feels as though a paradise being lost. Something is being lost. Something
is missing. It doesn't matter where that dream seeker goes. That dream seeker, that function of the dream
seeker is to seek. It’s a constant seeking for oneness. And everybody that you see in the world try to be
successful in anyway, is actually really in the end seeking oneness. All desire is the longing to come home. But
the dream seeker will always be attracted to dream teachers. Because that's the function of oneness. Oneness
loves being fascinated by not finding itself. It is fascinated by the search. So oneness arises as dream teacher's,
dream priest's, dream therapist, dream preachers, dream enlightened masters. And the whole idea of that is
to maintain the search. The fun of the search. So the dream seeker will go to a dream teacher and the dream
teacher will say to the dream seeker: yes you are a separate individual and yes there is something called
enlightenment and you can find it by meditating or whatever. And in some way or other that function of
teaching the individual to go on seeking, reinforces and maintains the search and maintains the sense of
separation. But it's possible, when there is a readiness - not when the person is ready - but when there is a
readiness, it's possible that the dream seeker will go and hear a rare and radical message. This is a rare and
radical message. If you really hear, if what's being said is really heard - not you hear - it will be seen that this
points to one thing only. It points to the realization that arises in liberation. That THERE IS NO ONE AND
NOTHING TO BE LIBERATED. It points at, is appointing to the realization, the understanding only but there is
no one. There's no one sitting in this room. There is no such thing as a dream seeker. There is no such thing as
an individual who is separate. It's simply a dream. The whole idea of separation is a dream. So that could be
understood. It's possible. I mean people in this room can access that, can absolutely understand that there is
only oneness. There is only consciousness. There is only aliveness. But UNDERSTAINDING IS ALSO NOT IT.
CLARITY IS NOT AWAKENING. KNOWING THAT THERE IS ONLY CONSCIOUSNESS IS NOT BEING
CONSCIOUSNESS. Still you have an individual who knows that there is only THIS, there is only consciousness.
You still have a separate individual who knows something. That's why this message is so rare and radical.
Because what happens here and elsewhere, not many places but it does, is that in some way or other a
sharing together of this communication. AND IT'S NOT SOMEBODY TEACHING ANYBODY ELSE. IT IS SHARING.
WE ARE SITTING HERE SHARING TOGETHER THIS COMMUNICATION. IN THAT SHARING IN THAT COMING
TOGETHER AND SHARING SOMETHING ENERGETIC COMES. IT'S THE ENERGETIC SHIFT THAT IS THE
AWAKENING AND THE LIBERATION, IT'S NOT THE UNDERSTANDING. In someway or other when separation
happens energetically there's a contraction into this “me”. I am the center of the world. Then everything is
drawn into this apparent person this dream seeker. So people come here often that contracted state of
individuality. And what can happen is that this contracted state of individuality bursts out into everything. Just
goes back into everything. And there's no longer a “me” sitting in a contracted state. There is simply
boundlessness. What you're meeting here is boundlessness. What you're sitting in is boundlessness. Nobody's
boundless. It's not Tony Parsons’. Tony Parsons is nothing, just another body-mind-thing doing this speech.
But that boundlessness is not owned by anyone, it simply is. Aliveness. It simply is, being. What the seeker
comes to expand into is that boundlessness. But the seeker can't make that happen, it just happens. So sitting
here and talking together and answering some questions is just an excuse of something else to happen. That
which is far beyond understanding. THIS IS NOT ABOUT UNDERSTANDING. What we're here talking about isn't
anything to do with understanding, detachment, knowing, the “great knowing”. IT IS ABOUT FALLING IN LOVE
WITH THIS!
 So clarity is an important part of this. Clarity and confusion. We come possibly with some confusion and we
will meet clarity. It's not my clarity. It's nobody's. Its clarity out of nothing. That CLARITY CAN CLEAR AWAY
THE CONFUSED IDEA THAT THERE'S SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE TO BECOME. Wakening, liberation has
absolutely nothing to do with anyone in this room. Absolutely nothing. Doesn't matter how you think you are,
how neurotic you think you are, how unstill you think you are, how wonderfully meditative you think you are.
DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU THINK OF YOU, AWAKENING HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU. WHEN THERE IS
NO YOU THEN THAT WHICH ALWAYS IS BECOMES APPARENT. So you haven't come here to gain… Nobody
comes here to gain anything. People come here to lose something. I don't have anything more than you have,
in fact I've lost something. “Me”. And you only imagine there is a “me”. There is no “me”. All there is, is
aliveness. All there is sitting here is aliveness. If you go in there and look for “me” you'll never find it. There's
simply an opening to this. It will be suddenly realize that what sitting there is a set of experiences: There's
noise, cars, me waving my arms around, sitting on a chair, feelings in the body, the mind thinking... There's
nothing wrong with the mind thinking! The mind thinking is simply aliveness happening, it is oneness thinking.
So thinking is going on. All those things are going on for no one. There's no one there! Everything that arises is
simply being. All there is is beingness. All you are is beingness. So already you have there everything you
longed for. Already the thing you seek is sitting there, right now. Being. This can't be escaped from because it
is all there is. This can't be attained because it is all there is. This can't be lost because it is everywhere. All that
can be lost is the idea that it isn't.
So if you want to talk, let’s talk…
