From  What, Where, When, How, Why, and Who To Remember To Be Happy by Avatar Adi Da Samraj

​

The first thing to remember a lot when you are awake (or even dreaming, or who knows what) is to feel the Mystery, and so feel Reality—or the One and Only Real God.

 

Feel that you do not know what even a single thing Is.

 

You may know the name of something or someone. You may know about all kinds of somethings and someones. But you do not—and you cannot—know what anything or anyone Is. Nobody does—and nobody can.

 

It is important to remember and feel this a lot. When you do this, you feel quiet, and you forget all the names, and you forget to be afraid, and you stop thinking—and you only feel good, and true, and full of love, and radiating.

 

When you remember to feel the Mystery real strong, then you can also remember to breathe the Mystery. The Mystery is good feeling, full of light and happiness and love—isn’t It?

 

So, when you breathe the Mystery, remember always to breathe in all the good feeling and breathe out all the bad feeling.

 

Breathe in all the happy feeling about the Mystery, and breathe out all the unhappy feelings you might be thinking about—like being afraid, or angry, or selfish, or mean, or just unhappy.

 

Feel to yourself: “Breathe in the good stuff—breathe out the bad stuff.”

 

And do this feeling--breathing, in and out, again and again. It is good to do this, every now and then—every day. It is a way to get to remember the Mystery stronger and stronger.

The part that is the way you look is only you while you are awake and alive. But the rest of you goes on while you sleep and dream—and, after the body dies (or goes to sleep for good), the rest of you goes on in the Mystery.

 

The body part of you—the way you look when you are awake—is only part of the way you are. You also feel and think when you are awake, and when you dream (even though the body is forgotten in dreams). But even more than this is the way you can feel yourself to be in the Mystery.

 

You aren't anything you know or feel or see or hear or look like or name or think. All these things just happen—and you get to watch or know or think them. You feel and see your own body. You feel and see your inside sounds or lights or dreams—or all the places that come up.

 

You even think “I”, and “me”, and “mine”. Well, what are you, if you only watch all of these things?

 

You Are the Mystery! Yes! And you do not even know what you Are, either. Yes! There Is Only the Mystery! And you yourself—in your Real Heart, and up and down and in and out—Are the Mystery. It Is All One Feeling!
