Waching daily Mar 30 2018

so our practice then is allowing this moment to be simple the rest happens by

itself and there is enormous intelligence in this field of now it is

the essence of all intelligence the mind is a tiny aspect of that vast

intelligence that is in the field of now and one more pointer

as you surrender to now whatever form this now takes the incessant mental

noise that we call thinking 90% of which is unnecessary calm slows down because a

large part of the compulsive streams of thinking that most people are identified

with s me as themselves completely identified with those continuous dreams

of thoughts and the reason why those thoughts dreams have an addictive

quality a compulsive quality it's because your sense of self is in them

and me your identification with those thoughts dreams as a me and the me wants

to sustain itself so it can't stop and the me can only perpetuate yourself

through non surrender and resistance and that gives fewer to the compulsion to

think because it's an expression of the non surrendered state you're trying to

what control things somehow and so you lie awake at night for two or three

hours trying to work it out control your life feel what might come rehearse

something project fantasies

with entering this surrendered state the mental noise slows down by itself when

you say yes to what is mental noise will begin to subside still there to some

extent but you're not you're not in a fighting mode any more towards the

universe and it's a to being a fighting mode towards the universe is what

creates that enormous momentum that is behind compulsive thinking it comes in

waves and waves and waves and there's always a me in it and so with a

surrendered state that calms down so they don't need to stop your mind that

creates another problem just be with more tears

allow this moment to be then the mind stops by itself because it's not

compatible compulsive thinking with allowing this moment to be and when the

mind subsides that continued stream of thinking there's this spaciousness

there's this stillness that is underneath the mental noise in everyone

it's already there and that is none other than this that spaciousness that

is there beyond the form that this moment takes and that stillness again

every label is so limited every signpost is limited stillness spaciousness

awareness that does not need thought beyond thought thought can arise in it

but it is beyond thought vast intelligence unconditioned what humans

think of as intelligence is the ability of the mind to solve puzzles to store

knowledge to analyze information that's very limited the entire universe is an

external expression in the manifested expression of vast intelligence

expressing itself as form and master it comes out of stillness the flowers come

out of stillness exists in stillness that beauty that no mind could create

entire galaxies coming out of vast stillness they say the universe came

about scientists say there was a Big Bang when the universe out of one point

suddenly exploded into existence and then they asked what was before then and

then their mind stops well it doesn't stop but the thought cannot reach there

what was there before the universe was there before the Big Bang that's that's

is that state of unmeant the unmanifested is still in you it's never

gone away as your essence the Big Bang happens continuously the universe comes

into existence every moment don't think about that

ultimately this is now that that there's a not strong evolutionary impulse now on

this planet that is forcing humanity to evolve into a state that before was the

privilege of very few individuals here and there they were the early flowering

of consciousness but it is a destiny of all humans to be to express this

flowering children the openings for this flowering of consciousness to happen so

where the person if you come here as a person which is the caterpillar and then

but you you're already ready to go beyond that then the person was there

and it's become dense and heavy in its last stages of personal selfhood and

then the person gives way just as the caterpillar dissolves as caterpillar and

all she comes this incredible beautiful being the person gives way to the

flowering of human consciousness yes you still here in a physical form but

something far greater has emerged through this form and this is why we're

here to go beyond this absurdly limited sense of self with me with my little bit

of past and my little bit of history my little story and a pathetic little bit

of future that I think is going to complete me and they're so little even

for those who are young is not much how can I complete me in those few years

what can I possibly add to me to make me complete it's an illusion so to go

beyond that absurdly limited sense of self to the

vastness that you actually are not as a limited me anymore you simply then

become an expression of that and it emanates then through this form and so

this is the only way now the planet can be saved is human consciousness to

become transformed until recently it's been a luxury that transformation the

few here and there and now we have to this is why it's happening

and we encounter a state of consciousness that is beyond thought

characterized by deep vitally alive stillness and out of that thought can

still come and those thoughts that come out of that are inspired thoughts new

thoughts realizations thought is form and this is the formless knowing

yourself as the formless and then move through the world of form and enjoy that

this is the first time it's only when you know yourself to be beyond that not

throw some idea but through being in the surrendered state it's only then that

you can enjoy the world of forms truly when you are no longer in a personal

personalised reactive relationship to the forms that arise in your life in a

now of course then you no longer desire nor fear any particular forms you enjoy

the dance of form and you may contribute to it you may create new forms they come

out of presence not because egoic need to complete itself so a completely

different doing happens

completely different motivation for doing no self-seeking through doing not

trying to get to some future point where you're going to complete yourself and if

you don't get there you'll be unhappy and if you don't get there you'll also

be unhappy

of course many of these things that they've been pointed to in ancient

teachings

there's the bhagavad-gita beautiful one of the most beautiful signposts the

path of surrender to action where this the action the doing is not a means to

an end that is surrendered action the doing is not inferior to some

mentally projected result that you want to achieve and thereby enhance your

sense of self surrendered action is

never a means to an end it is sufficient unto itself

so your practice is me watchful of this moment it's always this moment and

limited way of putting it would be to say what is your relationship with this

moment that's you in ultimate terms it's not you don't have a relationship with

this moment you are this moment but in a limited mall image it from a more

limited perspective you could ask yourself what is my relationship with

this moment or the form that this moment takes surrendered or resistant and to

watch and as you watch many times you can watch non surrender arising

and then he watched non surrender as a physical contraction as an emotional

movement or as mental judgments often the three go together

physical contraction the emotion and of some mental judgments that says

something about now or a total projection away from now and you see

yourself in your favorite restaurant at home having a meal there and suddenly

say you come back - OH

if you observe yourself in a non surrendered state that's all that's

necessary and allow that to be physical contraction oh look at that nothing

personal in it it's the human state allow it so it's s whenever an O arises

in you and no - what is and you suddenly see it accept it

so the yes you bring the yes into the know always you cannot fight non

surrender through more non surrender or trying to achieve a surrendered state

it's enough to know that you are not surrendered that is the arising of

presence that is the arising of the unconditioned consciousness and there

you a little can allow it allows that and then something happens to the non

surrendered state because it is not compatible with surrender

Meditate with Eckhart Tolle on Allow Discomfort to Go Beyond It 2018 - Duration: 26:02.

welcome to our retreat I trust everybody can hear me I also trust that nobody is

waiting for me to start because everybody here knows that we are here to

give up waiting as a state of mind

normal state of mind and it takes another state of mind or rather no mind

in which you're not waiting for the next moment it's why we're here to discover

that state of no-mind awareness you could call it or deepen it

we are not here to add anything to what we know we know enough enough to have

come here

so we are here to discover that thinking is not the only possible state for

humans and not the highest state and as we go through the shift from thinking to

awareness thinking first of all loses its predominant place in our lives and

as a side product of losing its predominant place in our lives it

actually becomes more effective thinking becomes more effective less destructive

not destructive anymore

so no answer here is going to come if you're looking for the answer on the

level of thinking or on the level of adding something to your mind the answer

lies in stepping beyond thinking simply

by allowing what is which is now allowing what is to be as it is because

it is and you discover that the compulsion to think is to a large extent

connected with not being willing to allow what is to be as it is now because

there's a little mind made entity consists of thinking and accumulated

thought patterns that thrives on resistance to what is

and on reactivity and is always looking for the next thing to get a little bit

bigger it's never quite enough this little me is never quite enough

most of you have come here because there is at work within you something that

goes far beyond the personal something that is an expression of the

evolutionary impulse of the universe on the surface level it looks as if a

person had chosen to come here but it is also possible that one or two have come

here expecting something they are not going to get what's that more more

experience is more knowledge more beliefs more opinions

so if one or two who have come here expecting more and they might want to

leave as soon as they discover there's no more or they suddenly after if they

can endure the discomfort that arises when the need for more is not met and

don't run away immediately they can endure the discomfort they may be able

to break through that mine pattern

please pay attention not just to the words but to the silent spaces between

the words that's where the shift happens in that alertness that is required to

acknowledge or to listen to that dimension of stillness that underlies

the words and is in between the words that is why we're here and that's not an

adding to because that is discovering something that's already there but had

been ignored just as I was coming here this beautiful night in this incredibly

beautiful place I took off my shoes and I looked up at the sky clear sky stars

brilliant points of light and they something when you look up there there's

something that is so easily overlooked but should be obvious to anybody who

looks up there it can tell you something about the nature of the universe when

you look up what do you see you see little points of light you see basically

there are two dimensions they're objects celestial objects Suns planets the moon

galaxies billions trillions

so there are celestial objects things objects in space and this space the

universe consists of things you can look it so obvious

there are things in space and there's the vastness of space the thing so that

which is manifested but when you look up the what produces the feeling of all of

the feeling of infinity it's the vastness of space the depth of it which

is inconceivable

has no end that is such that evenly our neighboring galaxy our next-door

neighbor in terms of galactic neighbors the andromeda galaxy if you traveled at

the speed of light which is very fast

300,000 kilometers per second which is a distance from here to the moon in one

second is the speed of light if you traveled at the speed of light to our

neighboring galaxy and there are billions of galaxies then closest one to

us it would take you to point three million years to reach it at the speed

of light 2.3 million years such is the depth the vastness of space

and what is out there applies also the x4 called external universe applies also

to the so called in a universe there is also within you things let's keep it

simple things

ants place in your life now things are it is obvious that your life is

surrounded by things there are many things in your life physical things in

many people's lives there are so many physical things to deal with that they

are constantly running after the next physical thing that they need to deal

with they may have a house they may have this in place and everything demands

attention their entire attention is absorbed by the things that surround

them and it's just at the moment just talking about physical things this is

needed and that's needed in that and then there's the belief that they are

not enough physical things yet I need some more because I don't feel quite

complete yet and then there are other things in a wider sense all the things

that make up your life situation conditions of your life events things

are constantly happening and constantly new things pop up oh thanks so it's not

just physical things all kinds of things make up your life situation what people

call my life but I say it was only a life situation they don't know what

their life is a life situation consists of a an accumulation of events things

happening situations demanding attention everything saying this is important give

me attention so there's the pull of things not just physical things the pull

of situations of demanding it it is the so it's the world the world your world

consisting of things that need to be dealt with

and it's never quite enough time to deal with it all

and when you've dealt with one thing here they're three more things cropped

up there and so that's people go through life with that pull into the world of

things doesn't leave you alone for long

and on a primordial level on a basic primordial level this all the world of

things starts with thoughts because all the things whether they are physical or

events or situations in your life really only exist in you as thought nobody

knows whether actually there is anything out there at all because what reaches

you they say sense perception happens you visual auditory and so on is

translated into nerve impulses that reach the brain and is then DIC those

impulses are decoded and then some kind of world picture emerges so this is

what's going on normally actually knows what's out there beyond the impulses

that are being received and decode it and put some kind of world pictures put

together so that some philosophers have even doubted there's anything out there

at all

and it could just be a dream and there are certain indications that it is a

dream it's in the nature of dreams to be fleeting to evaporate very quickly it's

in the nature of situations in your life

whatever condition any situation everything is fairly fleeting it's it's

then one moment it has gone the next where was yesterday what happened

yesterday when you first wake up in the morning you might think was it a dream

or did it happen and then you meet some other people who agree that it did

happen but it could be that these other people are part of your dream so all the

things that seem to be aren't there the world of things is really an inner

phenomenon it's to do with mind it's to do with thought

we don't need to take any position here we don't need to say yes the external

world exists or no the external world does not exist

very often the answer is both or neither the answer is not yes or no from one

perspective it's yes from another perspective No so most people's life is

filled up with things which are the most basic level means thoughts mind movement

one could say objects that appear in your consciousness one after the other

and sometimes they are battling for its won't you once thought another thought

so their people's lives are crammed full with that mind stuff and you can see it

in people's faces the way they lead their lives the way they interact with

others

what you can see is very often the

absence of space well it can't be absent but they don't know it's there anymore

all they know is things that appear the any sense of space is gone and so they

experience their life as a continuous stream of I'm quoting churchill again as

i love to do who defined history as one damn thing after another

and if you ask many people about their personal lives they might give you the

same answer how's your life being up to this point - one damn thing after

another and the next damn thing comes just in the moment when you thought now

you've made it success at last recognition everybody loves me and then

everybody wants something from you

now fortunately I have nothing to give on the level of things although

sometimes people demand things but

that's not what I have to give and no spiritual teacher has to give things no

true spiritual teacher is here to give you things anything on the level of but

simply to show you the possibility of living not obsessed with things and I'm

using that now in a wider sense I don't just mean obsessed with physical things

it's a tiny aspect of it obsessed with things also means possessed by things

and it means possessed by thought totally in the grip of thought one after

another and after another and another and another and you derive your entire

sense of identity from that stream of one damn thing after another me there's

a me in every thought there's a me in every emotion in every reaction there's

a sense of me and my relationship to the world is a me against the rest of the

world that's the battle I have to fight defending me completing me and looking

out for more things either to defend myself against or to accumulate to take

on this part of me so to show the spiritual teacher

see it and the spiritual teacher is not separate from you

this event here is happening in your consciousness you don't know that I'm

actually here outside of your consciousness I'm in in you so that

voice that you hear is arising within you of course it is there may be nothing

out here it could all be an illusion but the voice is there it's arising in you

and so it's pointing to the possibility of living in a different way a life that

is not a burden and to continue seeking and continues conflict the possibility

of being aware of inner space in which yes in which the world of things still

happens in which yes thought still happens and yet to be aware of a

dimension of consciousness that we could call space consciousness because as we

saw and yes you can verify when you look up into the sky tonight this objects out

there in their space that's basically what the world consists of and the two

dimensions are within you and humans have become lost in one so we are here

to realize that dimension and I'm not saying you

are going to realize it cannot be realized in the future it cannot be made

into an object of a search because it's here now the moment you are looking for

it you create a future now what is future it's a thought form apart from

that there is no future except as a thought form it cannot come except as

now

Meditate with Eckhart Tolle on Don't let any circumstance control your Life 2018 - Duration: 16:05.

I had said many times in talks this talk is not going to be on the news tonight

and I had been right for a long time and suddenly somebody came and they wanted

to film part of a talk and put it on the national news in Canada and they did I

was wrong I was very happy I was wrong it was only three minutes and yet it was

there that was a miracle in itself because this is not something you would

normally see on the news because we are not smashing anything up we're not

blowing of ourselves or throwing bombs and yeah it was on the news in bed

tonight go into your inner energy Fiat be there as an alive presence not a

thinking little being thinking about the end of the retreat what you're going to

do don't activate so much the concern with your life situation whenever when

you truly need to think about it and take action then you'll be present with

that but don't revive whatever's personal life situation you have and

everybody has one don't continuously revive that in your

mind because that will absorb everything the alive situation which is

thought-forms past and future my story absorbs most people's entire life

they're continuously lost in their life situation they miss life just now so

make life the focal point of your life and life situation is on the periphery

you deal with it when it comes not reviving think oh I have so many

problems you do so it to me where is it where is the problem

here my bank account is zero all I can see is a figure on a piece of paper just

a siren I lived for many years not knowing where the next day or the next

week the income would come from and it always came from somewhere it wasn't a

problem I didn't feel poor in the eyes of the world I was poor probably live

below the poverty line for several years and then it improved somewhat but still

reserved just a minimum and that was fine and even for two years when I

didn't have a home or a job on income oh I've looked after me because I trusted

in life which is present moment don't let your live situation absorb

your attention completely especially when you're in bed at night go into

sleep from the beauty power that is you inhabit the body as you live in bed it's

best if you do it lying on your back and feel the intense aliveness that is in

every cell the presence that you are

going to sleep from there and if you wake up in the middle of the night and

the movement of thought wants to start immediately notice it and say okay I'll

go into the body with an instant you can change what would have been a sleepless

restless night with agonizing thoughts useless thoughts because there's nothing

you can do right there and you're not threatened you're just in a state of

fear because you're fearful concepts in your head you're impaired you're not

being threatened by anything but the concepts in your head are threatened

you what's going to happen what could happen what do I do if that happens what

and if I lose that I don't get that and all those concepts that you then

identify ways are very threatening they're like little animals in your head

and you take them to be real it's unreal it's like a phantoms

that the mind creates fear thoughts and always to test the reality of the

situation what is the reality here now what is the problem here and now none or

if it has reality then here's something you can do about it or you can surrender

to it well the problem is I'm in prison okay break out apply for parole or

surrender to what is and if you are planning to break out or planning to

apply for parole you still have to surrender first otherwise you will be

unhappy there may be certain illnesses and with a healing or not is possible

you don't know but it is more likely in the state of non-resistance books have

been written about it even medical research has shown that in those cases

where spontaneous healing happened it did not happen when people were making

the illness into an enemy it happened through deep acceptance with each comes

peace and it's only the peace that is the healer Byron Katie spiritual teacher

was visiting a woman suffering from advanced cancer throughout her body

maybe only a few more weeks to live and ceased can be quite radical in the way

she expresses herself but straight cutting from mind so she visited the

woman and the woman looked of course extremely unhappy and

suffering and Byron Katie said to her I don't see a problem and the woman

thought woman was got angry and she took off the cover of her bed and she sold

her her right leg was three or four times the size of her left leg it had

already swollen - yeah candy because of the disease and she said you want to see

a problem I'll show you a problem since the patient she said look at this and

Byron Katie said oh I see your problem is that you think your right leg should

be exactly the same size as your left leg and at that moment for the first

time in a long time the patient laughed

because in that moment the patient dis identified from thought structures

thought structures that were saying this should not be this should be otherwise

and what was ultimately causing that suffering that may have been physical

plane but suffering was caused by the thought structures in her head that

could not accept what is that argued with it insane Wow

so the suffering always comes out of thought suffering is thought mate pain

is possible physical pain yes but the two articles we are related suffering

can end before physical pain ends suffering can end a few days before you

die of some disease you can come to the end of suffering and you will have

fulfilled the purpose of your life on earth the flowering has happened the

liberation has happened you stepped out of identification with mind the

flowering of consciousness has happened for the flowering of consciousness to

happen you don't need a lot more time you don't need any time really and if it

should be so for you that you are not sure whether you're going to live a few

more months which by the way nobody knows in this room whether they going to

live because forms are unstable we just don't know

but if the likelihood in you seems to be greater for some reason that you may not

survive for more than a few months allow that to one could almost say force you

into presence because life has taken time away from you life has taken future

away from you which to the ego is the most dreadful thing that could happen to

anybody but is in fact the most wonderful thing that could happen to

anybody the future is taken away the mind cannot seek refuge any more in

future you're either in intense suffering or

you are forced into intense presence and I know some people to whom this has

happened one passed away two years ago another friend of mine is in that

situation now and the friend who passed away two and a half years ago became

radiant in the last few weeks months of her life as the body wasted away she

could almost see light coming through her and peace and her eyes became

totally clear well what greater thing could happen to a human being and that

of course to everyone here in this room it becomes sooner or later the impending

end of this form and even if you're only 25 now there's no guarantee that you

will go on to 95 or hundred you may you may not so don't

wait for life to take future away from you although when it happens it's good

relinquish future as a psychological thing not on a practical level for

practical level you say okay tomorrow I'll catch a train tomorrow we'll meet

here at 9:30 again practical level no problem practical future no problem

psychological future is the problem and on that level you relinquish future

needing to become someone and so on a practical level you can do all kinds of

new things explore new things learn new things create things play around with

creation create this or that but foundation for creation is the inner

state of alignment with life then what you create is more empowered and will be

for the good and not create more suffering because what he create out of

the egoic state creates more suffering karmic so you could built a gigantic

corporation out of feeling inadequate and it has happened people have built

organic enterprises and become multi billionaires and then collapsed of

stress and before they collapsed they looked inside what was all that about

and in the meantime the thousands of employees also for in with stress and

unhappy so what you create out of the state of alignment will be different

from what you create out of ego and it'll be more empowered and it'll be

different because it'll be an alignment with consciousness where the whole

cosmos is going and what it is we don't know it depends on you some may not

create anything you may just be happy sitting there and talking to whoever

comes to you or you may continue to do your job but it becomes just a cover for

consciousness you could do the most simplest job like

handing out tickets in a cinema and every person you look at you look at

little presence here you are enjoy the film here you are and you can continuous

meditation then maybe you'll stay there and change many people's lives you

contribute to something new this little seed can come even there to anybody who

is has some readiness even a minimum degree of readiness that moment can be a

trigger and it will be for some they will never know it perhaps in that mold

was the trigger for an inner change or it may be that you do that for a while

and then life takes you some wells and suddenly you have a group in front of

you and say well here we are

which is always a good way to start it's our job to deepen presence just this to

accept what is to be friendly with what is and if on the surface of things what

is doesn't look so great you can use a little mantra that in

front of mine came up with when something happens that goes wrong this

to this also meaning it is my job to say yes also to this this to it's always

wonderful when little things go wrong during the day they always do on the way

although that's beautiful because then every time you can find a space you know

it is a game oh that is a game and you smile when it happens sometimes you get

a sequence of four or five things not working as they showed you have a

spacious relationship so things that happened then compassionate even towards

things that happen or don't happen as they should happen

compassion and towards life

Severus Snape | Character Talks - Duration: 9:43.

hey guys! so if you know anything about me, you probably know that i am a huge harry potter

fan, i have read all the books many a time and can practically quote the movies by heart.

i am a ravenclaw, i also have this hermione granger wand that used to light up when you

shake it but literally broke yesterday even though i haven't touched it in like five years

and when i decide now to pick it up again it decides to break so you know, kind of upset

about that; and a wand of my own that i got in ollivander's in harry potter world in

orlando when i was like eleven.

i also got this snitch there, which also used to work but doesn't anymore, it would shake

its wings when you press this little button here but whatever it's cool .

also i'm usually sitting in front of it and my huge hermione granger hair covers it a

lot of the time, but this is always in the background when i'm filming. this part of

the video was really just for me to show off my merch.

i'm a harry potter fan.

i have a lot of thoughts about the books and the movies and the spinoffs like cursed child

fantastic beasts and a very potter musical, but today i will be sticking pretty canotically

to the seven books, because i want to talk about severus snape. and if you haven't

read all the books or at least watched all the movies, which, in the year of our lord

2018 i hope to god applies to no one, yeah, there's gonna

be some spoilers.

so first things first: i don't particularly like severus.

um, i have a list of reasons up here that would probably deplete the world of trees

if i were to ever write them down on paper, but for the sake

of time today i will focus on his asshole-y behavior towards just a few characters.

namely, hermione, neville, obviously harry, and also the marauders. and i will kind of

speed through the first three because i have a LOT to say about the others.

so.

hermione jean granger. who, according to professor snape, is "an insufferable know-it-all"

(PoA).

not really something that a professor should be saying about students.

at least to their face.

<also just as a side note that has nothing to do with this video, um, in the movies ron

agrees with him and says "he's got a point you know" whereas in the books ron gets detention

for standing up to snape for that line, so conclusion: always read the books, they're

better>

hermione didn't have the best time at hogwarts socially, a big source of, a significant source

of bullying towards her, especially in the earlier books, were about the size of her

teeth.

when slytherin students in GoF enchanted them to keep growing and growing

and growing and growing, literally all snape said to that was "i see no difference."

and that led her to alter them permanently through magic after that so that they would

be smaller, which, you know, really helps a girl's self-esteem, right?

neville longbottom.

let's talk about him for a second: so, he saw his parents tortured into insanity by

voldemort supporters, and he was raised by his grandmother who was actually kind of,

like, abusive to him??

like his relatives literally once dangled him out of a window to see if he had magic

because he wasn't showing signs of it. and his grandmother was constantly on his back

about his grades at hogwarts

<while ignoring the fact that she was the one who had given him his father's wand

so in his case, "the wand [did NOT] pick the wizard" which was probably the source

of his struggles in school>

sorry that was another tangent, but after all of this, tiny little thirteen-year-old

neville STILL describes his biggest fear to remus lupin as: professor snape.

he constantly

targeted him in potions. in PoA snape fed neville's potentially failed potion to neville's

own frog just so that if it were wrong he would have killed the frog; and then proceeded

to take points away from gryffindor when trevor lived because "hermione must've helped him

with it"

and harry freakin' potter! um, now, there's a lot i could say about this, on this point,

but i don't want this video to be like six hours long and i do have a lot to say about the

marauders, so quickly: in general, if you love a woman, shouldn't you, like, treat

her kid with respect? or at LEAST be nice to him?

right, apparently not, and despite the fact that he is lily evans' son, harry's only crime

is having james potter as a father.

literally, the first thing that severus does to harry is, "oh, famous mr potter, why

don't you tell us the difference between these two plants that are literally the same

plant, i just gave you two names for literally the same plant," to embarrass him on his first

day of wizard school after being raised by muggles his entire life.

very mature snape.

and in OotP - the occlumency lessons: snape did not prepare him at all.

he literally just jumped into harry's mind, and then when harry defended himself and got

into snape's mind, he got mad and threw him out and then refused to help him anymore.

yeah that's cool it's not like voldemort was trying to get in there to ruin everything.

in conclusion, severus snape should not have been a teacher.

he was horrible with kids, he didn't like kids, he should not have been a professor.

who gave him this job?

albus dumbledore?

i can talk about him in a different video because i do have a lot of feelings about

him, but for right now, let's just move on to the marauders.

so, yes.

james potter bullied severus snape.

that's not good.

bullying is not condoneable (that's not a real word is it) in any standard, especially

the humiliation that james put severus through.

but severus' response to that bullying was to call his "best friend" who had tried

to help him in the situation a racial slur, and then he got angry when she dumped him

as a friend.

see, james at least realized that he was being an ass and changed his asshole-y ways when

he realized it was the thing keeping him from lily; severus joined a fascist hate group

that discriminated against people like her

later on, he implored voldemort to save lily AT THE COST OF her husband and son.

he didn't care about the people she loved, he only cared about her.

he just had this obsession with her

<and another side note, he makes fun of tonks later on when her patronus changes to match

remus', and he doesn't like the fact that james' is a stag and lily's is a doe, when

his is literally a doe, like come on.

it really shows the difference between love, which is shown by the the compatibility of

james and lily's patronuses, vs obsession, which is severus literally mimicking lily.

PoA was when i really started losing respect for severus snape, because throughout that

entire book he was just constantly attacking remus lupin.

like that defense against the dark arts class that he taught in his place - he took away

the opportunity for remus to teach about werewolves himself.

he painted them as monsters and didn't give remus the opportunity to portray them in a

different light, one that would stop the stigmatization of the disease.

he also does this for the sole purpose of hoping a student would find out that he is

a werewolf so he would get fired. and speaking of this, he got remus lupin fired from hogwarts

after he had been homeless and without a job for almost two decades because of his "furry

little problem," i mean, severus could've just kept making the wolfsbane potion but

nOOoOoO he had to expose remus and send away the literal best teacher the students had

ever had i'm sorry i have a lot of remus lupin feels, he deserved so much better.

and speaking of people who deserve so much better, sirius black.

severus literally wanted to give sirius up to the dementors knowing he was innocent in

PoA. and he was CONSTANTLY threatening sirius also with exposure during the fourth and fifth

books.

like the poor dog star dude was cooped up in the home where he had spent his abusive

childhood, yeah he wanted to be able to leave sometimes, and snape just made it all the

more harder for him.

sure, in the end he was all secretly on the right side the whole time or whatever, but

he literally only came back to dumbledore when voldemort killed lily. he was fully ready

to be a death eater full time if voldemort had spared her because screw all the other

muggle-borns, right?

and all that said, who evens knows if lily would've ended up with severus if she didn't

end up with james?

i mean, it's not like it's not like he owns her, she might've found another perfectly

nice guy that doesn't call her racial slurs and dabble in dark magic in his free time.

he just wanted to prove himself.

he just wanted to prove that that he was a smart and powerful wizard, first to impress

lily. he thought that becoming a death eater would impress her even though death eaters

hate muggle-borns, and when that didn't work and she cut him off

<which, side tangent again, by the way, happened years before she even thought about dating

james potter so it's not like he "stole" her from him>

he decided that he'd just get back at her by being a death eater, the best racist terrorist

there was.

yeah, what a stand-up guy.

severus snape is a wonderful character, he has depth and motive and he is complicated,

but he's still a pretty horrible person.

a horrible person who did some brave things, sure.

but also a horrible person who bullied children as a teacher and only disassociated himself

from a hate movement when it personally affected him and was a dick to the child of the woman

he loved just because someone else was his father.

i mean, it's not like harry ever even knew his parents.

severus literally took out a twenty-year-old grudge against a childhood bully on his abused

and orphaned son.

but sure.

the bravest man i've ever known.

so. if you haven't realized by now, i don't really like severus snape.

but what are your thoughts?

do you agree or not? and are there other characters, from harry potter or other book series, that

you want me to talk about?

i already mentioned that i love remus and sirius and i am fully prepared to make a ten-hour

video about how they deserved so much better, but i was also thinking i could talk about

dumbledore, or draco, like some other more controversial characters.

um, let me know.

thank you guys for watching, and i'll see you in another life.

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

judgments are going on for years and then forgiveness becomes unimportant I

want to forgive whoever it is but Jen just can't forgive all you feels I

definitely I can't forgive him I'm not gonna forgive him I've let go of the

most precious part of my identity if I forgive him this grievance has kept me

going for years provided 50% of my might activity and 30% of my verbal output

grievance related to grief relating to grave related to heaviness strange words

will tell you already the heaviness of the grievance the lifelessness and when

you're faced with a challenging situation this happens sometimes in life

you face the situation only as presence and you're able to look and out of that

current of awareness that flows there's 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 a 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 purpose that

is only in the formless consciousness not in the world of form so is in the

nature of the world of form that people according to the mind go wrong

frequently but it 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 in a 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 big

ball small ball

but I believe this is the reason by people who can fascinate it with

watching certain games like 10 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 the play can be a joy there's nobody

they are playing they are at one with the game totally at one with the process

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 then

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 and the alertness an action arises and immediately back into

stillness a wave of action and it's gone

the martial arts massive never gets angry that would be any going to

reaction would be a diminishment it comes out of stillness out of no mind

don't 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 time

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 nice 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 well as before thought was full of self he was so

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 they identified with a mental

position 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 as 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 when they have all their own story we are the

victims north they are both the victims they have

their own story they're telling they totally identified with their

interpretation there's none other this is the truth itself it has a collective

self in it or it is a personal self in it and it does a heaviness because it'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 presence the power of presence the aliveness of

presence the intelligence of presence the stillness of it is who you are but

not whatever 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 in the worlds and blow myself up I mean

you think the both go together first you blow yourself up and then it pops so

thought can be very powerful - for creation it always before something

comes into material form this says 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 hell it's already

half hell with the limited power of creation

office of thoughts salt loses its seriousness and it loses its capacity to

make you unhappy because you're not totally in it anymore solve little

thoughts and they're recognized as there goes a sword no more it doesn't get hold

of your grass view and you don't get hold of it and then salt is fine is not

a problem it's still there but it's not the basis of your life anymore of your

who you are yourself as long as their self in it there is 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 our not no self 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 asked 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 show

in Canadian to 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 for the thought some external form and

say it's just mine don't you touch that it's bigger than yours even children

have that already my don't is stronger than yours so they

talk of the end of the need to reincarnate the cycle the continuous

cycle of birth but that cycle ends of course if you're 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 a larger

perspective needs to have more incarnations because it wasn't satisfied

with the thousands of incarnations and had in this

lifetime that'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 it is just a

reversal of it hiding underneath that is the need to to stand out timid eagle it

doesn't want to stand out simply it is afraid that it's 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

it's 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

from the egos point of view quite ordinary the need to be special goes on

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 extraordinariness is hidden in absolute old inner inner

and you can see that in some humans who are connected deeply with being and

perhaps create out of that perhaps our 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 most ordinary if you had met

Einstein you would have felt 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 it's just

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're no longer concerned you for momentarily

forget your own thoughts it's a little bit of a relief and you switch into the

collective thought movement 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 our Creed no matter how clever you are or how knowledgeable or

intellectual you could still be totally unconscious and probably all if you are

so much you have so much investment in thinking you left this is a heaviness of

yet so unconscious humans can have a certain there's an energy field of

unconsciousness that calls you and you 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 other small

present without wanting anything simply being there but looking and being alert

brings in a different energy or it will 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 I'd 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 job 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 were they you

can be pregnant you have to live it and see but if you do leave it be careful

what saying will happen one way or another they may psych 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 amazing it's no more than

what's been happening for thousands of years the same madness exception it's

magnified through technology and the 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 dodge the madness of it when you see it should are in front of you the first

time that happened in the history of humanity was Vietnam early 60s mid 60's

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 spirits from awakening

both in America and in Europe where suddenly huge influx of Eastern

teachings became to the base because of I suddenly became receptive why did 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 a few

rare individuals and suddenly they saw we are man 2 it's not that we are right

and they are wrong always the madness is in us - will they

decide enta fire 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 I think 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

although it's 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

if everyone around you is complaining and building their story what do you do

say is that so all day comment on their complaining or spend less time with the

unconscious people some days you would practice all day the last statement is

partially true and not just some days you will practice all day

well is that so it's not necessary to say the story is the momentum of the

egoic mind it will try to draw you in in some way to make you part of the story

the story very often in people is energized even more by their pain body

and the stories can be quite a violent story so there's a story but it's

energized by enormous emotion which is past emotion to a large extent knots

have not necessarily generated by this little event that was the triggering

event but the emotion is far deeper it's human pain that has lived in each human

being for millennia and has built up it is inherited human pain but that be that

what we call pain body is energy field is residue of past emotion of past

emotional suffering that lives in humans tends to use the mind to renew itself to

feed onto your thinking and that becomes the story that is energized by human

pain

at other times it may just be the mind pattern without the energizing effect of

the pain body but evil that has a strong pulling power your greatest weapon so to

speak is stillness as you listen to the story and you will notice that's not a

weapon that you can fight actively with because the moment you fight the story

in someone you've become part of it even if you say you're in a story you're

telling the moment you start talking that will

become a story your story will be that they have a story even if you say you're

in a story you're telling the moment you start talking that will

become a story your story will be that they have a story and they will insist

no this is the reality and they will tell you no you are denying you're in

complete denial of reality no I'm not in denial of reality so the the most vital

thing is simply to be there as a still presence and is that easy yes and no it

is easier if you are connected with the inner body as the stories happen around

you as you're listening so you have your rotate here deep within and that keeps

you still keeps your mind still and from there you is attention it flows

out and in that attention you're aware not only

we come back to the same Akane you're aware not only of that which is arising

in this moment which is a story that you're listening to you're also aware of

the field of attention and as you are aware of the field of attention it

becomes easier to connect with something in that other human being that lies

underneath the story so you can sometimes to some extent bypass the

story and connect with that human being at a deeper level where their lies their

own stillness it's nobody's stillness but just put it like that where lies

their own field of stillness so you can miraculously sometimes connect from the

stillness within you to their stillness and then on top you have floating the

story and sometimes that can actually dissolve the story in the other person

or at least shorten it because otherwise it goes on and on and on

some people have stories that they live with for years and years and just things

get added to it new episodes in my story latest episode

in my story it is not surprising that people love watching soap operas because

they all have their own one going to and then they feel better didn't they see

you see these people on TV they have theirs too so it must all be very real

but at least when you are watching it on TV you can feel oh at least that's not

my problem

it does require a high degree of alertness not to be drawn into

somebody's story not to become part of it

now they may already have made you part of it in a way they have already decided

that you have your assigned place in their story and there's nothing you can

do about that

but not make it historic with glory continue in your mind and then link into

there's almost anything you say in a situation like that it's too much
