What Is Prior to 'I'? ~ Contemplation with Mooji

Moojibaba guides an earnest seeker to go beyond fear and other distracting mental forces by engaging in a subtle and profound self-inquiry, the result of which can be felt instantaneously. “Something is afraid of the absence of you personally. The idea you have of yourself as a particular identity has been blocking you from going into the seemingly unknown. So the mind creates the unknown as a black hole, but what you are actually finding is that there is no black hole. When you can bear and be the emptiness-silence that you are, you are free.” 31 May 2024 Monte Sahaja, Portugal

Moojibaba speaks with two people who share fears around living and dying. In both of these interactions, he gives us simple instructions on the way out of doubt and suffering, into the clarity of who we really are. He also offers a powerful guided sitting. "See if when you become empty, you are unhappy, see if you are suffering, see if you are anxious, see if there is any fear lingering in you, see if you are worried about life or death, because you will have the capacity to see. Don’t destroy—look with detachment, follow just this. It works." 14 April Monte Sahaja, Portugal

In a deep and reflective tone, Moojibaba brings alive a timeless contemplation that reveals the essence of who we truly are. Listen and imbibe deeply. "Beyond I, Beyond 'I am'. First must be 'I am', then the world will come. Prior to 'I am', I Am. What knows it Is? These contemplations dry up the muddy waters of the mind." Monte Sahaja, Portugal 21 April 2024

In this short excerpt from the recent Satsang Intensive in Lisbon, Moojibaba invites us to plunge into the heart of Self-inquiry. It is direct, profound, joyful and immediate. “Beyond even the subtle ‘I’, who are you now?”

In this short and powerful guidance from the April 2024 Awakening Intensive in Lisbon, Moojibaba offers us the key back to overcome the subtle tricks of the mind. Watch, follow and empower your discernment with great joy. “Stay only as the formless witness. Don’t pick up anything from the mind.” Lisbon, Portugal 4 April 2024

This rich satsang invites us into the ‘Commitment to Self-Discovery’ guidance—a profound sitting exercise from Moojibaba to ‘Just Be’. By putting our attention on Beingness, we are led from the forest of delusion to the sky of Pure Awareness. "Any sensation can come. The sky, limitless, infinite, unending, welcomes all visitors. Moon, sun, clouds, rainbows. It doesn't complain, it manifests them. Yet nothing sticks. Everything is a tourist floating by, like all things born of time. This is why the sages say, 'You are the sky of Pure Awareness.' Monte Sahaja, Portugal 15 November 2023

In recent times, Moojibaba has been offering a direct and crystal clear guided exercise for abiding in the natural state of Beingness. Seekers of truth from all backgrounds are finding this "Just Be" exercise highly relatable, immediate, and unexpectedly profound. When followed with earnestness and persistence, it acts as a mirror that reveals and supports the abidance in and as the non-dual Awareness. "Have the attitude of leaving everything and keep the attention only in the natural sense that you exist and that you are here. Make a conscious choice not to engage or to be pulled into your mind stream. Just be aware of it, don't fight it, but stay empty, consciously." Monte Sahaja, Portugal 3 March 2024

On this day, Moojibaba records an audio guidance first thing in the morning, and shares it with a few members of the sangha. During lunchtime, Moojibaba joins the sangha in the dining area and shares this guidance: to begin the day with a 15-minute sitting to help stabilise attention in the space of presence. This exercise complements the “Just Be” guidance that the sangha has been focusing on, providing a deeper understanding of this sitting.

Moojibaba met with some sangha friends from the nearby village. What started off as a short visit for a cup of tea, turned into a profound inquiry into the nature of the Self. This Satsang is full of essential pointers that are a great aid for anyone seeking spiritual liberation. "It's all God's book, and He writes the book. There's only God, and God is not an entity—He is the totality of all there is and can ever be. And your essence is He. He who is in search of himself finds God. And he who is in search of God finds himself.” Aldeia, Portugal 23 February 2024

Moojibaba offers grounding guidance to a devoted student seeking help. He encourages her to continue with the current exercise, saying that these fluctuations from person to presence are normal in the process of awakening. "I'm not disappointed, because I know that we have to go through this. You have to taste failure. You have to taste what it's like to be back in your mind when you've been in your heart. It doesn't feel good, does it? But you know that's not your real place. There's something in you that is not touched. It doesn't belong to the world. It's not touched by your moods or the world. It's independent of that. That space is the only thing about you that's permanent. This body will go. The mind will go. All these things will go except This."
