Episode notes
Being Is Innately Peaceful
- Peace and happiness are the fundamental nature of our being, present prior to any thoughts or identity.
- This awareness remains unchanged throughout life, from minutes after birth to moments before death.
Try The Newborn Awareness Exercise
- Do the experiment of imagining yourself newly born to notice awareness before identity and content arise.
- Use that recognition to distinguish being from the later arising thoughts, sensations, and memories.
Being Is Unchanged By Life
- Being remains the same pristine, luminous presence regardless of life's events or conditioning.
- Nothing ever happens to being, so remembering it restores peace without changing external circumstances.
