I'm wanting to be finished with dealing with
anything other than the need for us to...
All of us: you folks, everybody who is going to hear this webinar in the future, all of us.
We really need to...
get clear and active in what we have found here.
All of us: you, and me, and Carla,
and everybody who has ever been to our website,
anybody who's listening to this...
One of the most important things to understand about our work is its simplicity.
It really is simple.
We claim no non-human states and interventions.
It will not make your experience of life free of pain and confusion.
It will make your life much more open than it has been in the past.
Open to you.
Your life, your mind, your understanding of things, and so forth,
your mind, mostly, is much simpler than we imagine it to be.
And we have confounded it with complexity
in order to serve our need to think that we are so important
as individual human beings that we are...
The rest of the world can go to hell, as long as I am okay.
As long as I have what I need.
As long as I'm, you know, satisfied,
and not crazy, and not hating myself or anybody else.
And, of course, that's mostly, for most of us,
and it certainly is the case for my life too,
it's certainly the case that all of us who,
and when I say all of us, I mean pretty much every single individual human being on the planet.
Not literally everyone, but close enough.
It's not surprising that we would seek something
complicated, and superstitious, and non-human, and magical,
because it seems to us that
our misery with our own mind is so great,
and so impossible to do anything about,
that it's going to take something really big and...
explosive
in order for me to get finished with the idea
that there are so many things wrong with my life
that it ruins my experience of being a human being.
That's what we accomplish. We bring an end to the idea
that it's impossible, or difficult, for you, and me, and everybody else
to become human beings that are more or less satisfied with their lives.
It's not that life free of the fear is free of pain, or confusion, or anything of the kind,
but what it is free of is fear.
And when the fear is gone, the mind becomes much quieter,
much less full of things.
Thoughts become like a gentle rain rather than a thunderstorm.
So...
We found this. This really is the case.
We have found the cure for all mental misery in human life
and that's accomplished by a simple movement of attention
looking for the feel of you at the floor of your mind.
That's all it takes.
And it's that simple.
Now, what follows upon that...
I'm starting from the beginning because I want to bring into this context.
So that once that act of looking at yourself is accomplished,
the whole apparatus that...
Well, not the whole apparatus, but the cause of the whole apparatus
of misery, and suffering, and wanting, and not getting,
and wishing, and hoping, and all of that stuff...
The foundation of that is gone. It's just gone.
The thought forms and the habits of relationship,
habits of relationship with what happens within my own mind,
those will stay as they were when the fear was cured.
Until they don't.
But they're on their way out. They cannot survive.
And pretty quickly after having done the looking,
and by 'pretty quickly' I'm speaking of weeks maybe...
Weeks or months.
Pretty quickly after doing the looking, the first actual indication
that something has really changed...
I mean, when you first do the looking, you get a real kind of nice feeling,
and sweetness, and so forth and so on.
But then, after that, comes a kind of a thunderstorm of misery,
heartache, misunderstanding, confusion,
as if the mind now is no longer under any control.
It has just gone crazy all by itself.
And, to a certain extent, that's true.
Once you have done that act of looking,
the foundation of the misery,
the human misery, its foundation is gone,
but its foot soldiers are still there.
Its foot soldiers are the thought forms, the habits of thought,
the habits of relationship, the desires and aversions that have been
fed in the in the days of the fear.
They take time before they go away.
The cure is simple.
It's absolutely simple.
But it only has one effect, and that effect is to wash away
the underlying fear of life itself,
which is the sole cause of the mental misery
that drives us to desperation and denial,
and all the other crazy things that we do.
But those habits of thought that the mind has fallen in love with,
the habits of thought that are based on the assumption
that there is something wrong here,
that the most important thing for you to understand
is that there's something wrong here,
and for you find some way, by hook or by crook, to make it go away.
So that all of those attitudes and all of those habits of thought
remain as they were until they go away.
That's just what it is.
And that can take some time.
But the time is well spent if you realize
that the most important thing to do after the act of looking...
And once the act of looking is done, it really is of no consequence anymore.
I mean, people do look there and, you know, it's okay,
but after a while, it just doesn't call your attention,
because the actual feel of you is really not very interesting.
It's just you. Just simple you. Not all the...
misery and magic that accompanies the human mind.
So it only has that one effect.
The rest of it is for you to decide
what is going to happen after that one effect is in place.
And it's in place immediately.
It may take you some time to see that,
but once you see that something has happened, that something has changed in you,
then the only thing that you should do, I mean really...
You need to brush your teeth, and feed yourself, and so forth,
but the main thing that you want to do once you have done that act of looking,
the main thing you want to do
is to gain actual, intelligent control over your attention.
And the reason... I know I'm a broken record...
But the reason that this is so critically important is because
your attention, first of all, is the only thing you have anything to say about.
And for most of us, for most of our lives, we seem to have nothing to say about it,
because it doesn't occur to us that we can choose what we attend to.
Our attention is hijacked by bright shiny objects,
ugly objects, fearfulness, and all the other stuff.
So...
And that's the reason, by the way, that people who have have found some solution
to the underlying sense of humanity being just crazy,
and nothing to be done about it is that
once that act of looking is done,
the natural assumption is that, That's it. That's all I have to do.
I've taken the medicine, I can see that the medicine is working
from what John has told me to expect, and so forth...
And that's it.
And then what happens pretty quickly after that
is a period of real enhanced, and much worse, misery
than you had before you did the looking.
And that is, again, broken record again, that is because the habits of thought,
the habits of relationship with the people you know,
the habits of relationship with yourself,
the habits of relationship with your mind
are still just as they always were when they were born in the fear.
They don't go away, they don't get magically fixed, and so forth and so on...
It takes time for them to starve themselves out of your mind.
And that's a waste of time.
And that's a waste of your intelligence and a waste of your capacity
to be self-reliant in your management of your own mind within your own life.
So that's the main thing that you have to do.
And that's the main thing I ever want to talk to anybody about,
at least in the beginning.
But times have changed.
Times change.
And the times that we are living in right now are actually...
seriously dangerous to the future of human beings at all.
We're living in really, really tough times.
Scary times.
Times in which it seems like everything is kind of...
All the understandings, and agreements, and all of that stuff
that human beings have with one another,
it seems that we're in a time when they are just falling apart and disintegrating.
Now, this happens cyclically with human beings.
This is something that I've spent some time looking into,
and it seems that something on the order of every hundred years,
which is five generations,
something on the order of every hundred years,
the ways in which we have found to be ourselves and human in the world,
without too much misery... I mean, you know, there's the mental misery,
but without too much physical and worldly misery,
we get used to that.
But every hundred years or so, everything goes upside down.
It's not literally a hundred years, although in this case, it seems to be pretty much
literally a hundred years since the last time.
Since the last time the world went crazy.
Since the last time, or the beginning of the last time the world went crazy.
But now... And I have to say that, if you look back over history,
you will see that these crises change as time goes on,
and they become more murderous and terrible,
as we get better at creating ways to maim, and murder, and kill each other.
And it seems, frankly, now,
and I don't want to be, you know, some idiot that cries, "The sky is falling!"
But it really does seem as if the sky is falling on us now.
The understandings and agreements that had held us together,
both within our own lives, and our own families,
our own cities, and countries,
that they are flying apart.
The assumptions that we have taken for granted over these last hundred years
are falling apart.
And I have to tell you that I am really interested in the human world.
I find it to be a very interesting thing to think about.
And I read the New York Times very day.
I don't read everything in it, but I read the New York Times every day,
because I am deeply interested in understanding what is unfolding here for us,
in this world now, with drones, and civil wars, and...
You know, there's no way... I could try to make a listing
of all the things that are going on in the world today
that, say, 50 years ago would be unbelievable
what's happening here.
In all of our countries, in every country.
So, as I am here speaking to you now,
I am speaking to you in the hope that you can see
what it is that I am trying to say about the situation we find ourselves in,
and the situation we find ourselves in
begins with the situation we find our own minds to be in.
That's where it begins, the situation we find ourselves in.
And I assume that since you are here with me in this meeting,
that in all likelihood you are working to understand
and take intelligent control over your experience of your own mind,
and about the way in which your mind works.
I'm certain that that must be the case.
But if you look further outward from your own misery,
and even if what you're...
Well, if you look outward from your own misery,
you will see that the world that we live in now, this world...
I'm 74 years old, and I have been through a lot of stuff, as you probably know ,
but the world we live in now is crazy in a way that I don't think has ever been the case before.
And it's not because we are crazier than we have ever been before.
It's because we have much more power to destroy ourselves than we've had in the past.
We have that power for, you know, like fifty years, really,
but that, linked with the arising of more and more throwing off of
normal standards of communication, and working with one another, and so forth,
Those things are going away.
The way in which nations manage to keep themselves from killing each other,
those restraints are going away.
The restraints that hold democracies together are going away.
The restraints that hold...
worldwide capitalism...
The restraints that have made worldwide capitalism so huge a thing...
It's all there is, really...
And the constraints that have held that are going away.
They're disappearing.
People are going crazier than I have ever seen
in the 74 years that I've been on this planet.
And that's just the case.
And I feel... I have to say that I feel like we are in a race.
Us: me, you, Carla, roed, everybody.
We're in a race to find a way to get this solution to enough human beings
to bring a breath of fresh air in the human community as a whole.
So what I am speaking to you now, and when I speak to anybody now,
I am speaking from a sense of...
Kind of emergency.
We have got to we have got to find a way to bring sanity
to enough of the human family
to dampen down this rush to Armageddon, I think.
We seem almost to be on the brink of extinction.
I make statements like that because that's what I absolutely see to be the case.
I know why it is that way.
I know what the cause is.
And I know what the cure is.
But what I don't have is the means to bring this to enough human beings
to save us all.
The good, the bad, the ugly...
To save us all.
So that to me, the work of understanding the looking,
the work of understanding the importance of self-directed attention,
the work of doing all of that has taken on a much more...
Urgent...
An urgency in me that I had not felt before.
We've been around for a while.
From what I understand, the earliest evidence seems to suggest that
Homo sapiens, or Homo Sapiens humans,
appeared about 160,000 years ago in Ethiopia.
Well, that's 160,000 years that are about to go down the toilet
if we don't do something now.
And the root cause, again, is not wars and rumors of war.
Those have been our constant companions from the moment we completed
our evolutionary journey to become human.
It's not greed that's working to destroy the climate.
It's not any of that.
It is fear. It is only fear.
And we have the solution to that.
And I am going to beg you to do whatever you can to help us
bring this solution to enough people to see if we can stop this this rush to extinction.
And the interesting thing is that we think ourselves to be special
and it seems to me that...
It seems to me that our specialness is not to be found
in our intelligence and craftiness,
but in our interest in rape, murder, and war.
You know, we're almost certainly the only species on earth
that lives its life in fear and yearning for relief from fear.
Now, to fully understand the truth of what I'm saying, you have to be free of that fear.
You have to have begun the practice of self-directed attention,
because that's the only thing that gives you the means to determine
which thought-forms are useful and which are mere vestiges of the disease.
So, we're in a situation where, you know, we're really on the edge
of terrible things.
I am not going to predict extinction, but terrible things.
We could extinguish ourselves.
That is certainly easy, especially given what we're doing to the climate.
So, everything that...
My sole focus and purpose now is to find the people,
the skill sets, and the money to bring this thing to the world,
which so desperately needs it.
Now, regarding bringing it to the world, there are basically two ways
in which that happens.
One way is with those of you who have have found the...
Who understand and accept the fact that this is exactly what I say it is.
Those of you who see that probably have already been talking
to your family, your friends, and trying to get the word out as much as you can,
within the limitations that you have
of the number of people you can reach.
And that has to happen.
The folks that adopt this practice because they have been asked to do so
by people they know and trust, those folks will easily go through recovery,
will easily come to see the nature of things.
But...
You know, we, Carla and I...
anybody that will listen to me, I have one story to tell,
and I tell it to them every chance I get.
As does Carla.
So we have two possible ways of accomplishing what we're trying to accomplish.
And they both need to be working together.
Those of you who have friends and family, and so forth and so on,
who are open enough to hear what you have to say,
and maybe even try to say it,
do it.
Please do talk to them.
They will be fine.
They'll turn out fine, just from hearing from you.
They'll turn out fine.
So that's...
Word of mouth is the first way.
Through friends, family, acquaintances, by putting signs on buses or whatever...
That's word of mouth, and I'm really happy to say that
that is increasing all the time.
We have understandings that that is increasing all the time.
And people are coming forward who have heard of this work
from people that...
From people that heard of it from us.
The other thing, and this is the thing that we really...
I mean, everybody that gets sane, everybody who gets over the sickness,
the more people that get over the sickness, the better we all are.
But the way to reach enough to bring an end to this
before this last crisis turns us over
is through mass means.
Through mass media.
Through ways in which the simple suggestion is brought to large numbers of people
in the way that these things happen,
through newspapers, magazines, TV ads, interviews...
We have a lot of things that we want to do,
and the only...
I can't say this enough and it really hurts me to say it.
But the most useful and important thing of all,
not in the long run, but in the short run,
is for us to get solvent so that we don't have to spend...
I usually spend, I'd say, a good 30 hours a week
manipulating what little amount of money we have
so as to keep the bills paid.
That has to stop.
That has to go away.
I have to do things other than that.
The last thing I want to bring to you is a posting from our forum
that came in the other day.
And I think you ought to be able to hear this because it's really quite encouraging.
It was encouraging to us.
This is a forum posting.
"A considerable portion of what goes on in my head these days
"is about the looking and specifically how to spread it.
"Many ideas pop up.
"Some are good, while others, well, need development
"I have seen all types come and go.
"From creating a fear-free destination hostel,
"to acquiring the rainbow body,
"and to try to get the RiverGanga Foundation awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
"Thoughts I put my attention on grow and develop."
Hear that. Let me restate that.
"Thoughts I put my attention on grow and develop.
"Sometimes they turn into actions but, for the most part,
"they keep evolving into finer and more delicate forms,
"like how a potted flower will bloom if cared for.
"Others have a run until they, sooner or later, meet their fate,
"and are debunked as non-viable or uninteresting for whatever reason,
"in which case they normally dissipate quickly.
"All this happens seemingly on its own,
"only with attention as a rudder."
What a good way to say it.
"But how this works is old news.
"The news for me is the importance of community."
And that, by the way, is for me too.
The importance of community.
That's you. Community. It's you. All you folks.
And hopefully many more.
Back to the posting.
"What has recently caught my eye is that when we commune with one another,
"and use our collective attention,
"we can drive these developments in a much quicker rate than if we're alone.
"We feed off of each other's creativity and expressions.
"And it seems the mere presence of others
"will inspire, energize, and accelerate a process greatly.
"And according to what I observed, combining our beams of attention
"becomes extraordinarily powerful when the group members are not distracted
"by a context of fear.
"All that is done within Just One Look is, in truth, a collective achievement.
"All that is done within Just One Look is, in truth, a collective achievement."
You must see that to be true. This is me speaking...
You must see that to be true.
It's not Carla and I.
Back to the forum posting.
"I set a personal goal of sharing the looking with one person per day.
"And even though I can't always meet that goal,
"the results of the effort and attention put into it
"are, unlike most dreams, totally real.
"And if it wasn't for all the people in the forums,
"The Natural State Blog, the meetings, and all the rest,
"all which come from our common efforts,
"I would never have had the courage or inspiration to work in such a way.
"As the mind dreams of a great future upheaval,
"making strategies good and bad,
"what is happening here on the ground is that, person by person,
"the human creature writ large is getting better by the day.
"All thanks to grassroots.
"At heart, this insight implies that simply paying attention
"to the components which make up our community
"can, and will, accelerate this movement further.
"And that we don't need to know exactly how it will unfold,
"but only to trust our presence here.
"That's all that counts.
"And if what I've seen about communal effort is true,
"then we can collaborate by bearing will and attention.
"And that all forms of participation will help and grow the collective intelligence.
"Not a huge amount of effort is needed from each one of us
"to energize Just One Look so it can grow and flourish even more.
"It is my feeling that whatever comes out of it
"will be exemplary of all that is good, right, and beautiful in this world.
"This is the greatest and most valiant attempt for lasting peace
"that probably was ever attempted.
"So join in.
"We'll cross our streams of attention,
"kind of like they did in those 80's movies,
"while busting the worst kind of ghosts.
"And maybe we have a chance to bust the real ghost,
"the fear of life, once and for all."
Thank you, roed, that's beautiful.
About the title...
The title is: Let's Not throw Away Our Shot!
About title...
Carla and I...
I guess last week, or the week before, Carla and I had the great good luck
to watch a filming of the entire production of Hamilton with the original cast.
It had been filmed during a live performance by someone who had the knack for filming such things.
He had sent a message to the author asking for forgiveness,
and begged that his recording be left alone for a while to give others a chance to see it.
It remained up for an entire day.
And it was beautiful.
And the signature of the whole thing,
the mark of the whole thing
is a song which says, again and again,
Let's not throw away our shot!
And this is our shot.
All of us here today,
all humans everywhere, this is our shot.
So let's get serious about it.
Let's not dwell on the way in which our particular minds
have become clear, and clean, and my life is better than it was, and so forth.
It means nothing if we go extinct.
All that we've done to find a life that is satisfying and free of fear
is for nothing if it all goes away.
I've never been much of a doomsayer but, really, this is our last shot.
I truly believe that.
This is our last shot.
So let's not throw it away.
My hats off to you.
Thank you for being here.
Thank you for everything you do.
Stick with us. This is real.
