Hi dear Lubo,

It is easier than it looks. You are looking to find that we are Emptiness + Source. Let’s realize the Emptiness that we are.

Yes, Lubo.

1. Is Emptiness "something" or is "everything" inside us? Ask this simple question and notice the very first answer that arises—before thoughts, doubts, or the "trying to understand" appear.

Emptiness is definitely not "something".

But I am not able to say "everything is inside presence".

The emptiness part seems okay (slightly uncomfortable but it seems to be in the experience) but I am not sure about the source. I don't know where this "everything is". Not sure I can say it is inside us.

2. Notice the darkness "behind" the body and the visual field. Notice what is unchanging and always here. Which is it: the visual field (life and body) or the Darkness, the Emptiness? Again, answer with the first thing that comes.

The moment I notice the dark emptiness "behind" the body, I know it never changes.

It is too "thin". It is almost like nothing is there.

And it is unchanging for sure. Thought asks some questions

3. Now, notice the Emptiness we are and say something—"Om," for example. Notice that We are speaking! Forget the body and the visual field for a moment; they are just appearances within us. Since they are only appearances and not a "someone," can they speak? Or is it what we truly are that speaks?

The sound that comes is just something happening in the body.

The appearances cannot decide to speak. I can say that.

I am the one who knows this. But the speaking feels like another appearance like the body.

4. Realize that every word comes from the Emptiness we are. There is no one and nothing else. Notice: this is not about "fixing" you. This is not shadow work. Don’t expect all contractions to vanish—those are just patterns. Your goal right now is to realize that which is HERE, eternally. The ground. Home.

Right, Lubo. Contractions and doubts are all there. Even as I write my answers, doubts are alongside the statements I'm saying.

I thought realizing means they would not exist anymore, sorry. I'll not expect them to vanish.

Love,
Raam

Dear Lubo,

Notice the darkness "behind" the body and the visual field. Notice what is unchanging and always here. Which is it: the visual field (life and body) or the Darkness, the Emptiness? Again, answer with the first thing that comes.

There are some ideas that qtr trying to evaluate the experience: the emptiness is seen clearer than objects, etc. Thoughts like "it's not so clear, should I focus on objects lesser and somehow train my attention to focus on the emptiness better?" Are coming up.

I'll try to ignore these and just notice emptiness to the extent it is possible.
Love,
Raam

Hi raam,

yes, emptiness we are

The sound that comes is just something happening in the body.

Emptiness appear as body and sounds is known where? :)
Notice the body, this is how the absolute appear as this body Awareness as this body. This is it :)

See you.

Dear Lubo,

yes, emptiness we are

A couple of points I want to mention here:
1. There are times when it is difficult to keep attention in this emptiness. There are times when it feels "I can't find it"
2. I cannot make so many statements that many non duality teachers or those who seem to have awakened/realized, can make about this. For example, I don't know that this is beyond time. It is still and unchanging but I don't know anything else.
3. I don't feel that I stopped believing any "separate self". I don't know if that belief is there or not. I think it is there because I think I can still be scared.

Emptiness appear as body and sounds is known where? :)

"Existence of the body/sounds is known where", shows the awareness itself. But I'm still not able to say *emptiness appears as body/sounds".

Notice the body, this is how the absolute appear as this body Awareness as this body. This is it :)

Why does it feel l like i still don't know? The quiet stillness is there, but there's also doubt, there's also lack of clarity, confusion.

Love,
Raam

Hi dear Raam,

I hear you! I am with you.

You know that only the mind is seemingly in the way. You, the Self, are already realized.

Do this many times:
Lie on the bed with your eyes closed.
Feel the body—it is like floating.
Notice that which feels hereness is the Vast Self we are.
This is it.
Share what is coming when you do this 5-6 times

Some tips:
Notice any sensation; even a contraction belongs to you. It is pleasurable to feel. Usually, we go into the mind, and the mind interprets this feeling as something dangerous and starts projecting stories and memories, and we start living this movie.

Think of something pleasurable, like you have a date. And investigate. The goal is to find that only the Self is here, and it has nothing to do with the body. The body is like a mask, a gift for Us.

Notice the feelings are from You, the Self, not from the physical body. The body is no one, nothing—like everything in life.

Let your hand slap your leg. Notice that you are not affected if you are not identifying with the body.

Much Love, Lubo

Dear Lubo,

I hear you! I am with you.

Thank you so much, Lubo.

I've heard this a lot. Not sure what it means, experientially, but I trust your words, Lubo.

I've tried this a few times, not just on the bed but even in the midst of interactions, meetings at work, etc.

I guess it's possible to say that this body is here as part of what's happening.

The hereness is noticed as well, but is this what it is? Is it possible to see it any more clearly?

I noticed the hereness, but attention easily slips into something in just a little while.

Is this the Big Self, Lubo? It's not seen any more clearly than this?

I would doubt myself a thousand times before making any statement about it.

I don't know how non duality teachers and realized people say so many things about it. Is everything really made of it? I don't know if I can really say any statement about it that I'm fully sure of.

Love,
Raam

Dear Lubo,

Notice that which feels hereness is the Vast Self we are.

The hereness, because it is not a thing, so many doubts are coming.

I understand that these are just in the mind, but it is through the mind that I have understood a lot of things in life.

And even in trying to really just be with the hereness, I am not able to say many things that realized people/non duality teachers say about it. I guess I cannot say most of the things they're saying.

So I'm not sure if I'm "stuck" somewhere or whether what I'm looking at is really the Self.

That said, I do notice that things are happening - decisions are being taken, and the person Raam is going about the activities of his day, and a lot of these things seem to be from an empty place, and not someone actively choosing.

Still, there's just a lot of doubt, and maybe some restlessness also, Lubo.

Love,
Raam

Hi Raam,

Let's bring this to a close. :)

The way forward is incredibly simple.
Join us this Sunday for the group meeting, or let's book a private session.
Once you experience the shift, we can continue here just to support your process.

What do you think?

[indianguy]

Dear Lubo,

You make it sound so easy. Is it really like that?

Once you experience the shift, we can continue here just to support your process.

Do you really think it's that simple for me?

Join us this Sunday for the group meeting, or let's book a private session.

I would like to do both, Lubo. I have registered for this Sunday's group meeting, and will reach out for a private session as well.

So much love to you,
Raam

[indianguy]

Dear Lubo,

I listened to one of the recent videos where Luchana said that it shouldn't take more than a few weeks.

Have I wasted too much of your time?

Am I doing something wrong?

What would you advise me to do at this stage?

Love,
Raam

[Lubo]

Hi Raam,

This reminds me of a client from the US. After realizing that the "I" personality—the body-mind—is just an idea, he asked me: "But it’s still the same... the fears, the anxiety... Where do I stand?" He was looking for a foundation to identify with, a place to land. Back then, I didn't have the answer because I hadn't yet discovered what we truly are—how to identify with our Essence and perceive life from that vantage point.

In Athens, on the most famous ancient building, the Acropolis, it was written: "Know Thyself." Look closely—this points directly to our true nature.

Another pointer: "God created the world in His own image." We perceive the world and ourselves through the lens of what we believe we are.

I’m writing this to you so that the following can have a deep impact:

Our essence is a profound, singular, and creative eroticism. We are infinitely vast, and we are "fierce" eroticism.

Just relax into this. See that fears, the body, other bodies, the world, life itself—they are all a deep delight for us, for Eros. Don’t see anything else. Everything else is just a projection, an old habit of perceiving ourselves and others. Step into this as an indisputable fact: We are here, and we ARE this. Just like this Paradise, life is simply happening. No need to imagine it; the mind will try to map it out. Just see that everything coming toward us wants to "fuck" us (in the most divine sense).

This sharing is deep; it comes from the very core of our being.

Lean on this as an undeniable fact.

If you’re up for it, we can do a free 50-minute session this Saturday at 7 PM Bali time.

With much love,
Lubo

Hey Raam,

I’m reaching out to recalibrate on our session this Saturday.

After sitting with it, I realized that to keep the energy clean and fully aligned, I won't be doing a free session. If you feel the call to dive deeper into what I shared and want to step into this space with me, we can do a paid session instead.

With Love,
Lubo

[indianguy]

Dear Lubo,

I will come for a paid session.

I will reach out to you via email to discuss details.

Love,
Raam

[Lubo]

Hi dear Raam,
How are you? What is going on?

So much Love to you,
Lubo

[indianguy]

Hi dear Lubo,

It's lovely to hear from you. I'm doing well, by god's grace.

How are you, Lubo?

Sorry, I had gone off from LU after we had discussed in our call.

Love,
Raam
