WEBVTT - Where Are You Looking for Security?

0:00:04.830 --> 0:00:07.630
<v Speaker 1>You found your way here to waking up with Ryan.

0:00:08.630 --> 0:00:12.950
<v Speaker 1>I'm so glad that you pushed play. This is the

0:00:13.010 --> 0:00:16.970
<v Speaker 1>place you and I come to wake up together. So

0:00:17.570 --> 0:00:21.689
<v Speaker 1>let's take a deep breath and begin. Good morning, my love.

0:00:23.230 --> 0:00:27.760
<v Speaker 1>The truth of who you really are cannot be threatened.

0:00:30.340 --> 0:00:34.440
<v Speaker 1>The ultimate reality of who you are, of what you

0:00:34.520 --> 0:00:41.360
<v Speaker 1>are on this planet to discover is it lives in

0:00:41.420 --> 0:00:47.580
<v Speaker 1>a place of eternal safety. A Course in Miracles teaches

0:00:48.220 --> 0:00:51.879
<v Speaker 1>that nothing real can be threatened. If it's real, if

0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:56.790
<v Speaker 1>it's ultimately real, it can't be threatened by the comings

0:00:56.950 --> 0:01:01.790
<v Speaker 1>and goings of what is or isn't happening. It's not

0:01:01.910 --> 0:01:05.230
<v Speaker 1>at the effect of of your thoughts, whether you're experiencing

0:01:05.310 --> 0:01:14.300
<v Speaker 1>positive thoughts or negative thoughts. It's just here. Literally not changing.

0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:17.620
<v Speaker 1>While the world is changing and your body is changing

0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:23.830
<v Speaker 1>and your experiences are changing, what you truly are is

0:01:24.230 --> 0:01:31.770
<v Speaker 1>always here. And your ultimate safety, your ultimate capacity to

0:01:32.209 --> 0:01:35.130
<v Speaker 1>show up in your day-to-day, to show up in your life,

0:01:36.970 --> 0:01:43.980
<v Speaker 1>comes from your willingness to tap into this reality with

0:01:44.020 --> 0:01:51.440
<v Speaker 1>a capital R, this sense of permanence and eternal nature

0:01:53.540 --> 0:01:58.440
<v Speaker 1>that firstly is right here waiting for you to recognize it,

0:01:59.020 --> 0:02:01.180
<v Speaker 1>waiting for you to feel it. And maybe just as

0:02:01.220 --> 0:02:04.370
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying this right now, you're feeling the tingles of it.

0:02:04.500 --> 0:02:08.339
<v Speaker 1>I certainly hope you are. If not, we will get there.

0:02:09.380 --> 0:02:15.430
<v Speaker 1>Just go on this journey with me. Because accessing this

0:02:15.530 --> 0:02:20.990
<v Speaker 1>reality of who you truly are is not difficult. It

0:02:21.070 --> 0:02:26.110
<v Speaker 1>can't be difficult. It can only seem difficult because your

0:02:26.230 --> 0:02:32.020
<v Speaker 1>thoughts distract you away from it But it itself is

0:02:32.380 --> 0:02:36.730
<v Speaker 1>always here. Another way of saying this is who you

0:02:36.850 --> 0:02:43.710
<v Speaker 1>truly are, who you always have been, is always here.

0:02:45.430 --> 0:02:50.300
<v Speaker 1>And so it's actually not difficult. I don't want to

0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:53.880
<v Speaker 1>say it's easy to access it because it doesn't seem easy.

0:02:56.850 --> 0:03:00.389
<v Speaker 1>because the mind makes it seem so inordinately complicated, like

0:03:00.730 --> 0:03:04.510
<v Speaker 1>you need to do so much work on yourself. You

0:03:04.570 --> 0:03:07.780
<v Speaker 1>need to heal layer by layer by layer by layer

0:03:07.820 --> 0:03:11.380
<v Speaker 1>by layer. And it's going to take years for you

0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:16.180
<v Speaker 1>to peel back enough layers of the onion so that

0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:20.500
<v Speaker 1>you can access the core of it. And while that's

0:03:21.340 --> 0:03:28.240
<v Speaker 1>true in our experience, it's also true that Right here,

0:03:28.300 --> 0:03:33.959
<v Speaker 1>right now, you can access who you are, who you

0:03:34.020 --> 0:03:37.680
<v Speaker 1>always have been, that which cannot be threatened by thoughts,

0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:43.390
<v Speaker 1>by events, by past, by future, by desire, by longings.

0:03:45.050 --> 0:03:51.270
<v Speaker 1>It's just here, like the canvas on which everything is painted.

0:03:53.190 --> 0:03:59.350
<v Speaker 1>Just like a movie screen. that has images projected on it.

0:04:00.530 --> 0:04:04.940
<v Speaker 1>The images projected on the screen don't change the screen itself.

0:04:05.100 --> 0:04:09.180
<v Speaker 1>The screen stays the same, but the images projected on

0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:12.320
<v Speaker 1>it change. So the screen looks like it's different, but

0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:15.800
<v Speaker 1>turn off the projector. You see the screen is exactly

0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:20.690
<v Speaker 1>the same, whether it's being projected on or not. Who

0:04:20.750 --> 0:04:25.150
<v Speaker 1>you are is like that screen. right here, what is

0:04:25.390 --> 0:04:32.440
<v Speaker 1>always right here, unchanging, regardless of what's happening in your experience,

0:04:32.940 --> 0:04:39.779
<v Speaker 1>that's the ultimate safety. That's the ultimate you. And that's

0:04:40.860 --> 0:04:46.750
<v Speaker 1>what I encourage you and us to tap into today.

0:04:47.370 --> 0:04:50.870
<v Speaker 1>That which can't be threatened, that which is always safe,

0:04:52.010 --> 0:04:56.250
<v Speaker 1>regardless of what's going on in your life today. So

0:04:58.890 --> 0:05:04.239
<v Speaker 1>let's rest into that. Have a short practice as I

0:05:04.300 --> 0:05:12.980
<v Speaker 1>invite you to close your eyes and rest into yourself.

0:05:15.020 --> 0:05:18.380
<v Speaker 1>As you deepen your breath, we're resting into the you

0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:24.000
<v Speaker 1>that is deeper than your personality. In fact, it's the

0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:30.870
<v Speaker 1>same you that has always been your entire life. Even

0:05:30.930 --> 0:05:33.410
<v Speaker 1>though at one point your body was that of a

0:05:34.550 --> 0:05:38.870
<v Speaker 1>one day old, one month old, and now your body

0:05:39.270 --> 0:05:44.430
<v Speaker 1>is however old it is, whatever size it is, that

0:05:44.570 --> 0:05:49.000
<v Speaker 1>size of your body has changed. But this you has

0:05:49.060 --> 0:06:02.320
<v Speaker 1>not changed. And so I ask you, what is here? Untouched.

0:06:10.940 --> 0:06:17.440
<v Speaker 1>What is here not affected by your doubts, your fears,

0:06:20.100 --> 0:06:27.600
<v Speaker 1>unaffected by the beliefs in your limitations. Here, constant, always.

0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:40.380
<v Speaker 1>Exactly the same when you experience great joy or great

0:06:40.460 --> 0:06:48.760
<v Speaker 1>uncertainty and fear. What is here that never changes? Let's

0:06:48.800 --> 0:07:09.580
<v Speaker 1>take some deep breaths. This question, what is here that

0:07:09.620 --> 0:07:17.620
<v Speaker 1>never changes? These are words that are pointing to something.

0:07:19.090 --> 0:07:27.190
<v Speaker 1>pointing you to relax into something that is right here.

0:07:42.660 --> 0:07:49.240
<v Speaker 1>What is here that cannot be threatened? Let's take some

0:07:49.260 --> 0:08:40.349
<v Speaker 1>more deep breaths. Now noticing the tendency to hang your

0:08:40.450 --> 0:08:48.910
<v Speaker 1>identity on things that are changing. Your body, your personality,

0:08:50.170 --> 0:08:58.309
<v Speaker 1>your successes or your failures. The tendency to believe that

0:08:58.950 --> 0:09:12.130
<v Speaker 1>those things are what you are. And here now, recognizing

0:09:13.330 --> 0:09:22.130
<v Speaker 1>what it is that you truly are. That which is

0:09:22.210 --> 0:09:32.590
<v Speaker 1>always here. Eternal. Not even affected by time and space.

0:09:37.230 --> 0:09:47.000
<v Speaker 1>It exists independently of needing time and space. In fact,

0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:54.090
<v Speaker 1>time and space are concepts that occur within the fabric

0:09:56.910 --> 0:10:03.940
<v Speaker 1>or within the awareness. of this eternal you that is

0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:16.230
<v Speaker 1>always here, unthreatened, unchanging, eternal, peace, just here witnessing it all.

0:10:18.950 --> 0:10:25.970
<v Speaker 1>Witnessing the show or the play of your life, of

0:10:25.990 --> 0:10:36.200
<v Speaker 1>this human experience, of this planet. Remembering that who you

0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:40.520
<v Speaker 1>truly are and experiencing right now that who you truly

0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:50.250
<v Speaker 1>are is this awareness. Let's take a deep breath. And

0:10:50.290 --> 0:10:59.870
<v Speaker 1>let it go. You can always access this. Just by

0:10:59.970 --> 0:11:15.610
<v Speaker 1>asking a simple question. What is always here. Taking one

0:11:15.630 --> 0:11:27.990
<v Speaker 1>more deep breath in to close. And letting it go. Beautiful.

0:11:29.910 --> 0:11:36.570
<v Speaker 1>Opening your eyes when you're ready. Just here with you,

0:11:38.980 --> 0:11:41.480
<v Speaker 1>hoping to remind you that this is what you're here for.

0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:47.500
<v Speaker 1>On this planet, here to remember that you are the everything. Everything.

0:11:50.290 --> 0:11:55.170
<v Speaker 1>Loving you from here. Before you go on with the

0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:57.479
<v Speaker 1>rest of your day, there's something I want to share

0:11:57.520 --> 0:12:01.260
<v Speaker 1>with you right now. Thousands of us are listening to

0:12:01.300 --> 0:12:05.859
<v Speaker 1>this show. It blows my mind wide open together. We're

0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:08.739
<v Speaker 1>waking up every single morning and choosing to come home

0:12:08.780 --> 0:12:12.230
<v Speaker 1>to ourselves before the world rushes in. The fact that

0:12:12.270 --> 0:12:15.610
<v Speaker 1>you are one of us gives me incredible hope for

0:12:15.630 --> 0:12:17.860
<v Speaker 1>the world. Thank you for being here, for being one

0:12:17.900 --> 0:12:19.680
<v Speaker 1>of us, and for waking up with me. I'll see

0:12:19.710 --> 0:12:19.990
<v Speaker 1>you tomorrow.
