great practice is human-beings with home you have a lot of past you
share a lot of past and maybe were there old grievances old resistance is all
judgment going on for years and then forgiveness becomes unimportant I want
to forgive whoever it is but Jen just can't forgive all you feel I definitely
I can't forgive him I'm not mean if I give him a bullet golf the most precious
part of my identity I forgive him this grievance has kept me going for years
provided 50% of my might activity and 30% of my verbal output Ravens related
to grief related to grave related to heaviness strange words will tell you
already the heaviness of the grievance their life was less and when you're
faced with a challenging situation this happens sometimes in life you face the
situation for me as presents and you're able to look and
out of that current of awareness that flows there is the situation the current
of awareness at first into the situation is intelligence itself and activates
whatever it is that the situation requires it activates it from within you
as a response action perhaps words action it also activates the total
energy field that is the world that is intelligent and so things happen
suddenly that are helpful factors because the greater intelligence is
operating just the right thing happens not that the external world can ever
provide you with absolute limitless comfort in choice and that's not its
progress that is only in the formless consciousness not in the world of form
so it's in the nature of the water form that people according to the mind go
wrong frequently that doesn't it's not wrong at all the mind caught it wrong
because as I expected something else and some situations need action others need
simply to be totally accepted but even situations that require action need to
be accepted first as the isness of this moment you can't argument that and then
out of that acceptance the energy of presence whatever answers required comes
this is the same energy that into the very limited area great masters
sportsmen use when they do their sport whatever they do they are in a state of
thoughtlessness they call the zone that's I don't maybe a recent expression
they are in the zone so the zone means in that state where they are at their
best because they are not doing it power is moving through them but only in
their limited field of hitting that ball it's usually not in their rest of their
life you may become extremely good at hitting the ball make all the small ball
but I believe this is the reason by people who come fascinated with watching
certain games like ten years old ever for hours in which after all not much is
happening it can go on for hours and yet to see how they out of presence play can
be a joy
there's nobody there playing they are at one with the game totally at one with
the process and there's no separate entity and it's a joy to see it but one
can live like that it's the same you we've all seen martial
arts movies and if they are good and you can see that the action arises suddenly
out of a large stillness as absolute alertness in which there's nobody there
as a person there's only the looking at the alertness and action arises and
immediately back into stimulus a wave of action and it's gone the a martial arts
master never gets angry that would be an egoic reaction would be a diminishment
it comes out of stillness out of no mind no mind
our destiny is to live in that way not that we don't think any more thought
operates still it operates when it is needed for certain tasks it also
operates in a harmless way as clouds of thought drifting in and out of your
field of awareness as you go about your life with no spaces in between and there
comes a thought the fundamental thing that has changed there is no longer self
in your thoughts self and me a sense of self the self goes out of thought
whereas before thought was full of self he was not identified it became you and
if somebody argued with some thought that you held you felt personally
attacked somebody doubted your opinion said no that's not quite right
what do you mean it's not right he identified with a ventilation thought
itself in it and if thought herself in it it's a painful business it's a
painful trial and thought becomes serious and problematic and creates a
problematic life and there comes the seriousness that every thought that you
hold is a heaviness to it because you're totally in it and you totally believe in
it they all believe in their little stories
and interpretations even the collective ones that's all we think they are
attacking us no we are defending ourselves where they have all their own
story we are the victims no they was the victims they have their own story
they're telling they totally identified with their interpretation there's none
other this is truth itself it has a collective self in
it or it is a personal self in it and it has a heaviness because there's the
delusion of self in thought and when thought is free yourself because
yourself has turned out to be a soap bubble that there was nothing much there
and the true self is the his presence the power of presence the aliveness of
presence the intelligence of presence the stillness of it is who you are but
not what ever thought comes into your head or the emotion that goes with it
those are temporary energy fields so as you live in become rooted in presence
thought loses its seriousness in its heaviness and so the thought that
remains is either empowered which you might use to create this or that in the
game of creation not to fulfill myself as a to be really fully myself expecting
through it to gain Fame and recognition and wells and blow myself up I mean
think the both go together for us to blow yourself up and then it pops so
thought can be very powerful - for creation it always before something
comes into material form this as there's a thought home but humans will not be
allowed to fully utilize the power that is in thought or creating as long as
they live in egoic illusion because what they would create would be hell out of
ego if every ego could create it would be help
it's already half hell with a limited power of creation of thoughts salt loses
its seriousness and it loses its capacity to make you unhappy because
you're not totally in it anymore so little thoughts and they're
recognized as there goes the thought no more it doesn't get hold of your grasp
you and you don't get hold of it and then salt is fine it's not a problem
it's still clear but it's not the basis of your life anymore for who you are
yourself as long as their self in it they're suffering and I believe this is
probably what the Buddha talked about 2600 years ago there's no self in
anything that is the doctrine of are not know so don't look for yourself in any
form thought form or other form are not no self because if you look for yourself
in form that is suffering
and so the question is people ask is there such a thing as reincarnation yes
every day every time you identify with any form including a thought on emotion
and you're totally in it
you have incarnated into a new form it's becoming me and then comes the next you
incarnated into that you identify with that a reaction you incarnate with the
emotion that rises and what you say you're totally possessed by the thoughts
another incarnation so the question is how many times each day do i reincarnate
and so of course reincarnation is that fact and when does it end the end of
reincarnation can only come at this moment when I don't identify with the
form that arises I let it be the emotion of the thought some external form and
say this is mine don't you touch that it's bigger than yours
even children have that already my doubt is stronger than yours so they talk of
the end of the need to reincarnate a cycle the continuous cycle of birth but
that cycle ends of course if you have to live under the compulsion to reincarnate
every day it's more than likely that the compulsion will continue this little
entity that believes itself to be separate consciousness having entered
the dream of form and that's fine from another perspective needs to have more
incarnations because it wasn't satisfied with the thousands of incarnations and
had in this lifetime it's the next one I need another body and the drive the
wanting to perpetuate myself as a form is still there wanting to stand out as
someone be someone exist for again and which is the egos the egos need to stand
out what about me me and even if an ego is timid and doesn't is just a reversal
of that hiding underneath that is the need to to stand out the timid eagerly
doesn't want to stand out simply it is afraid that it will be criticized when
it does stand out and it'll suffer defeat
it's afraid of standing out but it wants to stand out
is that need to be someone special ultimately extraordinary special more
then it's always part of that you can notice it even as giving an opinion
people are talking and what they're saying is obviously nonsense so now you
begin to speak let me tell you how it really is with presence you become quite
on the egos point of view quite ordinary and need to be special girls that's a
big relief if you don't need to be extraordinary anymore in order to feel
that your life is fulfilled I'm extraordinary and then you discover
your true extraordinary nurse is hidden in absolute ordinariness and you can see
that in some humans who are connected deeply with being and perhaps create out
of that perhaps a great master painter or composer or whatever they do and
those in whom the ego hasn't come back and claimed it's me I did that that
happens also others remained humble very humble and simple and this when you talk
to them you say they don't need to prove anything they don't need to be anybody
special they're just those ordinary if you had met Einstein you would have
found that he remained throughout his life totally ordinary and humble he
couldn't even understand the what people say to him he said the discrepancy
between what people think of me and who I am is
ridiculous that's what he said so he'd direct there was no claiming anything I
so when you don't need to be great anymore and then you are great life is
full of paradox
present as you sit here in your body
do that when you watch television television can draw your attention out
of the body easily it can put you into kind of hypnotic trance where you are no
longer concerns you for momentarily forget your own thoughts it's a little
bit of a relief and you switch into the collective thought movements of the TV
screen but it frees you for a moment of your personal story so when you watch TV
be if you can you feel the body at the same time the inner can you feel the
presence that you are and watch from there beautiful you feel so alive when
you go about the world sensing the aliveness that you are
in a conflict situation at work at home a committee meeting or whatever
discussion people arguing taking up mental positions be there it's doubly
important so that you can stay present within it's easy to be pulled out
particularly if you are surrounded by several unconscious people by the way
unconscious as you probably know means completely identified with thought it's
South Korea no matter how clever you are or how knowledgeable point electril you
could still be totally unconscious and probably are if you are so much in if
you have so much investment in thinking you know this is a heaviness up in yet
so unconscious humans can have a certain there's an energy field of
unconsciousness that pulls you and if they can either pull you to the same
level and you start reacting and playing the game again or you stay present and
if you stay present in an environment that is not present whether it's one
other human being or more than one change will come about sooner or later
and probably sooner either the entire energy field of the interaction will
change because there's one field of presence that can make others more
present without wanting anything so people being there but looking being
alert brings in a different energy or it'll change because either that person
or those people will remove themselves from there because they don't like to be
in the presence of presence but rather be unconscious or you find yourself
removing yourself without any decision-making process involved you may
find yourself getting up and saying goodbye change will happen when you are
present your dog can you be present in your job in that environment you may ask
can't be they're all unconscious around me you don't know that yet
whether you can be pregnant you have to live it and see but if you do leave it
be careful saying will happen one way or another they may thank you they may sack
you because you're not suffering from a stress-related disease like all the
others
you can't be doing your job you know deal
be present when you watch the madness on TV which is in the news it's no more
than what's been happening for thousands of years the same madness except that
it's magnified through technology and a good thing is that everybody can see it
on the street that's one good thing that comes out of TV there may be one or two
others that everybody can see what's happening it's there this it's it's hard
to doubt the madness of it when you see it you should are in front of you the
first time that happened in the history of humanity was Vietnam early 60s mid
60s when for the first time war was in
everybody's living room and everybody saw the madness of it and that was also
time of spiritual awakening both in America and in Europe where suddenly
huge influx of Eastern teachings became to the West because the West suddenly
became receptive why didn't they become receptive an entire country the United
States millions of people for the first time dis identified from the collective
consciousness that before even in the 50s everybody was still totally
identified with except for a few rare individuals and suddenly they saw we are
mad too it's not that we are right and they are wrong
always the madness is in us too they decide enta fight from the collective
forms the collective eagle they stepped out and a huge alternative movement
developed you can't even separate the increasing madness and the awakening and
that's the strange thing is happening even now they go together the old
consciousness plays itself out and becomes more and more visible on the
surface it's you can see it so clearly and part of the awakening both on an
individual and collective level is to recognize madness as madness that's
already part of the awakening when you see we are mad that is mad the
intensification of the egoic consciousness and the coming in of the
new they work hand in hand they go together so the world becomes more
dysfunctional more mad and at the same time
consciousness is transforming in humans before that reaches the outer levels of
the world which are corporate structures and entities and the humans that run
that and the outer most such as political entities and the humans that
run that there's certain delay that before even it reaches the media it
reaches the media here and there already for the most part what you still see in
the media is the old consciousness the manifestation of that and it's getting
worse on that level and that's how it is and at the same time the awakening
happens it'll be a while before that reaches the
screens on a large scale but it already you can see little signs here and there
it does happen
