I understand that for a lot of people
that sounds like a bold claim I don't
think it's bold at all I think it's
obvious and natural and easy access
because you see once you're made
aware of a very clear way to not suffer
when you don't want to past that point
you can never claim again without losing
some Integrity that you're suffering but
you don't want to suffer and just a very
simple
angle into a very profound promise or
statement or claim the claim is
[Music]
welcome everyone good to see you
again let's start with a short
meditation and then I have a couple of
topics I want to get
into so take a deep breath
and
relax take another deep
breath
hold and relax
[Music]
hold take another deep
breath
[Music]
hold and
relax right now breathe normally
and enjoy the
relaxation which is a skill we have
unlearned it's sounds so simple
but the ability to
enjoy being at ease the ability to
enjoy relaxed awareness to appreciate it
to Value
it and we start with to follow up on
what we've learned already
[Music]
by stating to
ourselves I don't want
anything from
anything for right now I don't want
anything from anyone or anything
I am as I
am perfectly at ease with the Perfection
of this moment of my own present
awareness I am what I am and I'm
perfectly at
ease with my own present
awareness I can just be
and begin to relearn how to
enjoy this natural
beingness the natural fact that I
exist through simply
observing this
isness which I cannot Escape it's the
isness of this moment it's the isness of
my very own mind being present right now
my own
Consciousness isness is
Joy might not be apparent right off the
bat but with deepened appreciation you
will find that the natural isness of
your natural awareness is joy
take another deep
breath and appreciate this moment as it
is okay
welcome I want to address a very core
basic topic we essentially just did in
this meditation however I want to give
you a language for this that's very
simple
that you could you know you could almost
teach it to your
dog um but at least you you can teach
this to yourself and maybe your friends
your loved ones and just a very simple
angle into a very profound promise or
statement or claim the claim is you
don't have to suffer when you don't want
to and there is an easy way for you to
not suffer when you
don't in other
words feel free to suffer when you want
to you have your reasons we all have our
reasons to suffer and we believe in the
moment at least that those reasons are
worthwhile they are worth the suffering
may not always if ever be the wisest
decision but we have that Free Will and
we can suffer with whatever we want to
continue to suffer about so and this is
actually beautiful like I don't have
anything against
this um yes it's it's delusion in in one
way shape or form or to some degree but
it is also at the same
time a Testament of the freedom of the
one
infinite life Creator Source God call it
what you
will however that doesn't mean you
shouldn't have the tool and the
understanding to kind of hack yourself
back into your natural happiness your
natural Joy whenever you want to and
often we say are suffering but don't
want to suffer so I just want to remove
that excuse from your life
altogether because you see once you're
made
aware of a very clear way to not suffer
when you don't want to past that point
you can never claim again without losing
some
Integrity that you're suffering but you
don't want to
suffer so that's the basic premise here
is there is a clear clean simple way to
view to understand to use
terminology that's not spiritual per
se that you could teach to your doc so
to speak or you could teach to your
neighbor someone not interested and most
of all you could teach to
yourself and by seeing this
Knack this
hack this little switch by identifying
this within
yourself you will be able to stop
suffering whenever you
want so that's the claim it's it's a
very simple claim for me to make that is
a very easy claim uh but I understand
that for a lot of people that sounds
like a bold claim I don't think it's
bold at all I think
it's obvious and natural and and easy
access I get that sometimes it seems
difficult but it's not a bold claim
because it's essentially your natural
self that we're accessing and we're
pausing the unnatural cell which is
causing the suffering
all right so here it
goes very simple and very brief this
doesn't have to take more than 5 10
minutes so check with yourself if you
agree with the following statements or
claims one you have a
mind I
agree cool we could even say okay
everyone has a mind
not everyone might use it but everyone
has
one all right so but at least you have a
mind if you agree to that great the next
claim is that you know suffering or you
could say that you suffer at least from
time to time but not specifying when or
how long but you suffer you know what
suffering is like it's a part of your
experience would you
agree and I'm not talking about bumping
your toe into the Rock and hurting I'm
talking about psychological
suffering so do you agree you have a
mind and you suffer or you know what
suffering
is so but then the third claim is the
one to really check in with because not
everyone agrees with this and that is
you can use that mind of claim number
one that you agree you
have to
stop the suffering that you have you can
use your mind to stop
suffering whenever you want to at will
regardless of circumstances so the third
claim really to State it a little Bolder
is you can suffer only when you want to
and not when you don't do you agree with
that and some of you will and some of
you may have their doubts because we're
victimized in our own Thinking by our
own thinking we have been put in a
position of perceiving ourselves as
small vulnerable and
victimized or
victimize and there's all kinds of
reasons we give all kinds of
logic it may not be Sound Logic in the
final analysis but nevertheless it's a
logic that we are permitted to choose
and that seems realistic to us in the
moment especially when we're
suffering it attributes a cause to our
suffering to something that seems to be
out of our
control and I'm not saying someone can't
hurt you in a way in a way that is
relatively accurate
whether physically or verbally or
emotionally it's not ultimately true I
don't ultimately subscribe to this but I
understand the reasoning and you could
roughly say you know if someone's lying
to you um after a lifelong commitment
together and whatever those kinds of
things you can say okay they are
committing an action against Integrity
against this commitment that we've had
it's not a fair exchange of energy it's
not a fair exchange of commitment
therefore you could Loosely say okay
this person has done me some harm or at
least they've done their s harm in terms
of their integrity and because I'm so
personally engaged with that I feel that
pain I feel that I'm sensitive I'm
empathetic I feel that pain I feel it as
my own I feel it as their own so okay
fine that's valid up to a certain degree
of Truth in ultimate truth however
that's not
valid because it's still a choice and
this is what we do want to get to to
truly Empower ourselves beyond the range
of circumstances beyond the range of
other people's
choices is that something that you even
want many people will say yes but then
what if the requirement for this level
of freedom of suffering at will whenever
you want to what if the sacrifice that
you have to pay for
this is your attachment
to this idea that someone else can cause
you suffering and that it's not always
in your control but if you'd had to let
go of that idea in order to attain
regain your natural happiness your
natural freedom to choose to suffer when
you want to when you think it's
reasonable for whatever reason and to
not suffer when it seems unreasonable to
you and you don't feel like suffering
that moment maybe the next moment you do
feel like suffering cuz we're Melo you
know Melo what's that word
melodramatic uh melan melany melan
what's the word melancholically oriented
beings you know we love the drama we
love the self stories we love the
passion we love the risk and reward
ratio we love the cost and effect we
love the you're to blame I'm to blame I
did this you did this we love the movies
about that the soap opera so we're
trained in our society to love this
stuff to be absolutely in love with this
stuff but what if you had to sacrifice
that passion just a little bit that
hobby of
yours to believe in those thoughts why
do you have to sacrifice that
if you wanted to attain regain this
natural capacity to not suffer when you
don't want to to only suffer when you
think it's
reasonable and I'm speaking to an
absolute degree regardless of
circumstances isn't that great like I'm
not telling you you should stop
suffering I'm saying suffer when you
want to and simply stop suffering when
you don't feel like it and one day you
feel like it cuz you're in a
melodramatic mood you've just watched a
movie and it's giving you some kind of
feedback or gratification or some
insight into your past with your own
relationships or this or that great by
all means enjoy that learn from it
distill from it I'm not saying that you
shouldn't allow for some degree of
suffering in your life but so many of us
claim that we don't want to suffer when
we do now that one has to go that's a
weak as belief system that doesn't serve
you it's not factual it's not
mechanically accurate in any way shape
or form it's a complete delusion it's a
complete choice and if we're not able to
admit that to ourselves and be willing
to free ourselves of that belief system
that indoctrination that we're weak and
vulnerable and and victimized then you
will not be able to see that you always
have the
power empowerment you always have access
to the empowerment to not suffer if you
don't want to doesn't take away your
freedom to suffer but just know whenever
you suffer past this point it's because
you want
and that's difficult to admit for a lot
of people because our enjoyment of the
suffering our weird sense of righteous
gratification that we this this small
distorted version of happiness that we
extract from suffering usually is due to
the fact that we can't change it and
that's the thing to sacrifice if you
want true empowerment you can't live
with that in your mind it cannot exist
for you you have to be non-c concession
based you cannot make concessions on
this truth this fact of life you can but
then you won't gain the empowerment of
your Natural Freedom you won't gain full
control of this happiness hack this stop
suffering whenever you want to
regardless of circumstances Knack so if
you want this switch you got to be a
little willing here you got to put
something into fire of sacrifice here
and that is your addiction to
suffering slash enjoying the idea that
you're suffering because of something
that you can't change and that you can't
stop
suffering so that's up to you completely
up to you whether you're ready for that
whether you want that to what degree
you're ready for
that but here is a very simple tool to
establish that here's how to stop
suffering when you don't want
to and when you know it's up to you
that's the important sort of side note
there you have a
mind It suffers
and you can use your mind to stop that
suffering that's the basic claim that's
the premise that's the promise it is a
promise it's a guarantee if you
understand what I say what I'm about to
share it's very simple if you understand
it and you apply it as it is intended
it's my promise and guarantee that you
can stop suffering whenever you want to
at will regardless of
circumstances whether you accept that as
a gift as a as a remembrance as a as
something you can activate or not is
entirely up to
you now the mind and here goes the
little lecture the mind has two aspects
to it very simple you have a mind and it
has two aspects to
it one
aspect could be described as the
contents the contents of your
mind essentially anything that you can
say anything about in your mind anything
that you can describe that you can give
a label that you can notice that you can
highlight that you can emphasize that
you can identify that you can tell your
friend stories about that you can tell
yourself stories about in
[Music]
essence anything that you are aware of
like an object of perception a thought
an emotion a worldly object your chair
my phase those are the contents of your
mind very simple no I think everyone can
agree to is these are the contents of
your mind what you're experiencing
within your
mind the other aspect of your mind the
very mind that's listening to me right
now effortlessly this beautiful
mind because we often say the mind is a
bad thing but you have to understand the
second aspect of the mind which makes it
a beautiful beautiful
thing the second aspect which is really
its first aspect meaning its
primary is
the
basis or nature of the mind so we have
contents and then we have the basis of
mind or the nature of mind what it is
the Mind itself you could say when you
have a storage container and you fill it
with stuff you've got the contents and
you've got the container you've got the
bases when you've got Sky which is the
bases then you can have clouds which are
the content
when you create a gold
[Music]
ring you have the bases which is gold
and you have shaped it into a form which
is the content the appearance of the
Ring it's function its
specificity and so your mind right
now has this primary aspect to it which
goes unnoticed for most people most of
the time and for a lot of people all of
the time they die without ever
recognizing the basis of
mind so if you highlight for a moment
the contents of your mind right
now just whatever you're observing my
voice the screen sensation in your body
your lips your face where your eyes are
wandering off
to the appearances in your room the the
wall the the paint the furniture just
notice that those are not real per se
you say they are real you think they're
real but first and
foremost all these things that you can
identify within your
experience are the mind's contents they
are the
content of and within your very own
natural
mind now acknowledge
that if you didn't have a mind so to
speak or if you weren't present here if
you didn't have this aware
basis you would not be able to know
anything so you can notice the contents
of your
mind but there here's this simple shift
that everyone overlooks which allows you
to stop suffering at
will and that is where you place your
attention or focus on which aspect of
the mind is it on the form is it on the
camera is it on your webcam is it on
your computer is it on the sound of my
voice is it on the shape of your room is
it on how you feel right now what the
thoughts and emotions you might
have or is your attention on the basis
of
mind and what is that basis of
Mind another word for that would be
awareness the mind is aware that is its
nature and then it's aware of the
contents the projections if you
will so if the mind's essence or basic
nature is like the light of a projector
you know in a cinema then the mind is
the projected images once this basic
essential white light distorts itself
through a filter an interpretation in
our case a description that the Mind
gives to its experience a label an idea
an ideology a believe those are the
images that filter the light that cause
the projection of the movie of our life
the
contents but how many of
[Music]
you and how many of
humanity what percentage
of their day of your day is spent
focusing on the contents of your mind
versus the basis of your
mind and you can just be honest with
yourself because that's the only way to
grow how often how frequently how
consistently throughout your momentto
moment daily life do you
recognize the very fact that you exist
as mind or as
Consciousness how often and how much and
with what degree of joy and intensity
and eagerness and desire and passion for
knowing God's nature through your own
mind through your own
beingness how much time how much energy
do you spend on a day-to-day basis be
honest it'll be less than 1% I'll tell
you do you focus your attention on the
basis of mind and nature of self versus
the contents the descriptions the
stories your neighbors your partners
yourself as a
thought it's probably less than 1% no
even for the most
spiritually aligned devoted Among
Us and here's the thing it doesn't have
to be more than
50% to give you the capacity to stop
suffering whenever you
[Music]
want it doesn't even have to be 1% of
your day you could be lost in stories
for months and months down the road if
you remember if that's your first moment
of
remembrance that the mind also has this
basic skylike aware
nature that enables you to suffer that
enables you to describe your experiences
that enables you to even have
content that basic skylike space-like
aware intelligence which right now hears
my voice without you having to
try that that very sense that I exist
that you
are even if you forget all about this
for 3 months and you're just entering
into this bubble this timeline this
theme of suffering and vulnerability and
smallness and relationship this
relationship
that all that story all that movie
you're lost in the movie of the contents
of your life for 3
months if you have before those three
months if you have learned this switch
then after those 3 months you don't need
anything else you don't need a driver's
license you don't need to have done it
every single day for more than 1% of
your day in that moment if you remember
that your mind has also a basis which is
like
space and you shift your attention from
the story you've been indulging for
these three
months to the basic nature the
presence that is so obviously here here
my voice this wide open
formless constantly present basis of
Mind due to which you can even have an
experience of contents due to which you
can even storytellers into suffering in
the first place your suffering is owed
to the basic nature of
M or call it awareness if you prefer or
this original I am this being
is but its nature is to be aware it has
the power to
know without that beingness though
without that
aware isness to yourself which right now
hears my voice which right now knows
that you
exist you couldn't
suffer so in a weird way you owe your
suffering to that which is free of
suffering but it's how often or how much
you are willing to shift your
attention from
stories to present from stories to awake
space like basis of
mind that you can free yourself in that
very moment from suffering and here's
just a little test you can try this
out because I'm not making empty
claims now you might have to get the
hang of it a little bit you might have
to understand how to activate this
properly but once you do my claims are
valid for all of eternity if they are
not valid in your experience you haven't
applied them
properly so I stand by my claim that you
can suffer at will regardless of
circumstances whenever you choose to
when you get this when you apply this
properly and you can all get this so
again the philosophy or theory is that
the mind has two aspects contents and
bases or
Essence and that you can place your
attention on one of the other two on one
of the two and if you're focusing more
on the stories on what you are seeing on
the contents you will suffer and
contract usually to some degree or
another and you will contract yourself
and cut yourself off from this natural
intelligence which is skillful joyful
naturally happy loving all these
qualities that we seek in life are
innately present in the basis of Mind
these are natural qualities that we forg
gotten and that's why we want them back
that's why we seek them in every
experience and then we learn hey I can't
find this in the contents I can't find
this in a temporary experience it's
because these qualities don't exist
there they exist in you the essence of
you which right now here's my voice you
can't explain it but you can't deny
it you can't give it a label but you
can't escape
it that basis is the basis of mine and
everyone has the power to recognize it
because even those that think they can't
recognize it and but what about this and
what about that and I can't find
awareness they are aware otherwise they
couldn't describe these things they're
aware of that are somehow blocking them
from being aware it's always already
here it's like the background that
always illuminates the foreground like
the light that always illuminates the
movie but then we're so lost in the
movie that we're looking looking for
this pure wide light beneath the movie
before this little distorting belief
system or image that shaped the light in
the form of the movie of our lives so
now we're seeking for this pure light
but we're seeking for it in the
distorted images in the flaw logic of
the movie storyline we're trying to find
it in the
storyline but you can never find pure
light in the story line of the contents
of your mind you can only find it in a
natural basis which is wide open
naturally open like the sky
traceless doesn't leave a single trace
like a bird doesn't leave a flight path
in the sky you can write your name in
the sky the sky doesn't give a damn it
doesn't even store it you don't even see
the outline of your name try to write
your name in the sky me me me this is
this that that that Sky don't care sky
is
stainless the bases of your mind don't
care it's stainless it's pure it's like

right now then you have everything you
need to recognize the basis of mind or
the fact that you're conscious
that's it recognize the fact that you
are
conscious which also is very close to
the sensation of noticing that you exist
this feeling
of okay there's all this stuff going on
in my awareness in my mind in my
life but if for two to 5 seconds I pause
that interaction I can reset myself and
for those 2 to 5
seconds I can
notice this feeling this awareness that
I exist and it's marvelous it's
miraculous and it's the most natural
thing it's what's always here hiding in
plain sight without it you couldn't
Suffer Without it you couldn't have a
life without it you couldn't tell
yourself stories without it you couldn't
complain that you can't get back to
awareness awareness allows you to
complain that you can't find your way
back into this light it's the light
which enables the story that suggests
that you're disconnected from the
light so tear yourself all these things
if you want to
but learn to recognize the basis in
which it all appears the light due to
which this mysterious formless
Illuminating quality of Consciousness
which allows you to have the contents
that you're describing and
having this is where gratitude comes in
in the ultimate sense the ultimate thing
to be grateful for is whatever sources
you right when you're saying a prayer or
or some words of gratitude for your meal
for instance
what is it that we do we acknowledge the
source of our food no we like give
thanks to the farmer we give thanks to
the process that was required to get it
on your plate we give thanks for the
finances that enabled this again we
thank ultimately we thank God for
providing for this and so on so what is
paying our respects in terms of
gratitude what does it mean when we pay
our
gratitude it's always for something
isn't it and what is it for or towards
it's always towards the source of
whatever we appreciate that we have in
our lives right
now I'll repeat that gratitude is always
for the source or cause sometimes that's
a lesser version of it but you could say
the cause of or the enabler of The Giver
of the source of whatever we appreciate
in our lives right
now and I'm saying the ultimate form of
gratitude is to pay homage honor respect
gratitude two Source all the time for
everything that
happens
because you couldn't suffer you couldn't
enjoy all the
suffering if it wasn't for
Source sounds silly sounds weird but at
some point this is what you'll become
appreciative of it's the whole it's the
Oneness of it it's the natural
Perfection of the all pervading basis of
mind which right now hears my voice and
you've never had an experience you've
never had a story line you've never had
an emotion good or bad separate from the
basis of always already present
Perfection skylike awareness skylike
openness skylike natural joy happiness
love generosity and yes this is not your
little human mind identity but that's
what we're trying to break free of Noah
that's what we're trying to break
through we want to become skylike pure
loving Crystal Clear skillful powerful
perfect timing awareness do we not or at
least Infuse some degree of that into
our little human vehical experience but
ultimately what if we could know
ourselves as this vastness what if we
could expand to that
degree what if we could be free of every
experience while that's happening what
if we could maintain Clarity Crystal
Clean Clarity throughout any emotional
turmoil chaotic experience
what if we could continue to connect to
this openness which is like love just
radiating like a nuclear reactor just
radiating like the sun just radiating
whatever we think in the meantime
whatever we believe in the meantime
doesn't really matter anymore we start
to shift to this wide open generously
radiant nature of the
mind it's through the basis of Mind
simply by recognizing it for 2 to 5
Seconds Whenever You Remember
familiarizing yourself with this natural
state of Happiness of skylike open
forgiveness there's another term for you
awareness is
forgiveness because you can't be purely
aware of something and hold a grudge
against that
something even when you hold a grudge
against that
something you can begin to realize and
experience and
feel how even when you mentally hold a
grud against something within your
movie this awareness shines generously
with a sense of love and acceptance and
Clarity and power it doesn't fear
vulnerability it doesn't even believe in
vulnerability so how could it fear it
it's just beaming it's ever beaming the
light right now that shines out of your
eyes is ever beaming That's the basis of
your mind the
essence so learn and develop the command
man doesn't have to take long you can
get the hang of this within a matter of
days honestly truly it only takes
minutes but within a matter of days for
sure play around with this just stop
your story because it's the stories the
descriptions in your mind that always
draw you into the contents of your
life stop yourself have the courage to
stand up against your own indoctrination
against your own limiting ideas for 2 to
5 Seconds that's all it
requires and in that moment when you've
caught yourself describing an experience
and getting lost in it and you've
stopped yourself describing the
experience and getting lost in it now
for those 2 to 5 Seconds all you do it's
very simple very effortless just let it
happen you recognize the fact that
you're
aware and if it helps you can feel this
or picture this as a SC SK like like a
wide open blue skylike
awareness ultimately it's beyond that
too it doesn't even have that form it's
Freer than skylike openness it's even
more open than the white blue sky
however this can help you sort of
familiarize yourself and approximate
this true formless Eternal basis of mind
which will connect you to the Divinity
of all of life the source of all of life
ultimately
that's what you're becoming transparent
to when you stop your focus on the
contents of your mind AKA your life and
you start directing attention to your
actual life life itself I
exist I am aware right now that I
exist just that two to 5 Seconds now you
know how to stop suffering and I want
you to test this out next time you
suffer next time you tell yourself a
story next time it come your up an
emotion of this is false or this is not
fair or
whatever stop yourself for just 5
Seconds just radically just stop just
say no enough of this story I don't care
if it's true maybe it's true you have to
say this to yourself okay so this person
betrayed you I don't care maybe that's
true maybe that's factually objectively
accurate who cares my thoughts about the
are Contracting me and are limiting my
access to wide openen intelligent
Freedom do I want that for this being do
I hate myself so much that I must stay
addicted to my stories that I must stay
focused on the contents of my life that
I must not miss a single moment of
what's happening out there because
otherwise I might miss my opportunity to
set things straight and make things fair
for myself do I hate myself that much
that I can't even stop my thoughts for
two 5 seconds and give myself the gift
of recognizing that formless essential
life Essence that beams through my eyes
right now thanks to which I can even be
arrogant enough to choose suffering over
and over
again pay your respects and gratitude to
the source of your life
experience focus on the aspect of mind
which is the
basis like the sky a little bit like the
Wide Open Sky powerful free generous
radiating
so there you have it now you never have
to suffer again if you don't want
to excuse taken
away I'm sorry and you're
welcome so remember this if your friends
ever ask you your family is in need you
know don't impose but if there's an
opportunity and it's
appropriate ask them do you have a mind
well yeah du do you ever suffer well
yeah du did you know you can use your
mind simple hack you can use your
mind to stop suffering whenever you want
to did you know that yeah yeah no no
because this person did
[Music]
that no you can like there is no excuse
and then you teach them how you say well
the mind has two aspects one is the
contents the other is the container or
the essence or the
presence you suffer when you focus on
the
content next time you notice that you're
suffering
see if you can withdraw your attention
from the descriptions about your life
and instead place that same attention
which hears my voice right now onto the
essence the sense of I am or the sense
of open awareness and be honest with
yourself in those two seconds for those
two successfully awakened seconds did
you
suffer you didn't
you didn't you didn't you did not suffer
for those two seconds now this goes so
fast two seconds is a short period of
time it's effective but it's short so
then the Mind comes back in no but I
still feel the suffering but for those
two seconds before you returned to Story
Land did you
suffer and you did not I guarantee you
if you did it right and it's easy to do
right just recognize
awareness the moment you recog awareness
truly for that moment suffering is not
present for you it's a guarantee it's
aective life you cannot be aware of
awareness and cultivate active suffering
at the same time now we could roughly
say there's two types of suffering
there's active suffering and passive
suffering active suffering is what
you're doing right now it's like you
spinning the wheel giving it momentum
passive suffering is the inertia the
momentum of that now if you stop
spinning a wheel it'll continue to spin
for a little bit that's the momentum
you've given it with active
suffering so you could argue maybe that
even though you're aware of awareness
you're acknowledging and recognizing and
paying gratitude heartfelt gratitude to
the basis of mind just
recognizing mind itself presence itself
Consciousness itself
you will see that for those two seconds
there is no
suffering but the reason why immediately
after the suffering is still there and
still seems real is because of the
momentum and often what we do then is
the moment we forget about the basis of
mind and we're back into describing the
contents of
Mind labeling everything thinking we
know what is what and what should be
what and who we are and when we don't
know any of that really we just think we
do that's the arrogance I was talking
about so when we're back in descript
length we're now putting more motion
into that wheel of suffering again and
suffering hides in little places you're
suffering right now you don't even know
it to some degree you're suffering right
now but we call it normal we call it
just human Baseline level of we some
even call it happiness I see many people
who are suffering they think they are
happy and I don't want to burst that
bubble that's that's great but you know
when you get so used to being
sick every little bit of relief is going
to feel like like happiness even though
you're still sick just to use an analogy
so it's similar being so used to
tolerating contraction limitation
believing we this small tiny little meat
suit in an objective dangerous alien
harsh unpredictable Universe of physical
matter and that we have very little
power to do anything so our only power
is to protect ourselves and to avoid
discomfort that whole mental belief
system IDE it's just an
ideology it's not
true causes us to learn to tolerate
suffering as if it's normal but when you
start connecting to True awareness to
the essential awareness of mind the
basic essence of mind the basic space of
mind when you start recognizing this
consciously that it's always already
here that it's always already free of
resentment that it's always already free
even in the midst of whatever you're
emoting right now whatever you're
thinking it doesn't believe whatever
you're thinking you're already free from
believing in your own thoughts which is
the greatest Liberation and you should
want this more than anything you
shouldn't defend your thoughts you
should go against your thoughts just by
letting them be you're not believing in
them but don't go along with
them because they cause your suffering
the delusion
the essence of mind will set you free of
this simple as
that all you got to do is recognize it
over and over again two to 5 Seconds at
a time two to five times an hour for 2
to five days and you will have made
great
progress at getting that hang of this
little shift it's like openness learning
how to be
open Simple openness I was Contracting I
was thinking now I'm wide open like this
guy can you be wide open like the sky
noticing enjoying this quality of
intelligence the power to
know and that's it and then continue
with your story and then interrupt your
story pause
yourself open yourself up like the sky
recognize this intelligent quality do
this over and over again and I promise
you you will very quickly gain the
capacity to stop suffering at
will and then while you continue to
suffer if you don't have to that's a
whole other story right we can write
books about that and we can have q&as
about that and we can and that's really
why we're diving into all these topics
is because we're not willing to free
ourselves just a little bit but not a
lot we don't like to stop suffering all
together we're too invested in it so
basically every other dialogue we have
is because this first foundational core
principle is not applied because it's
not
desired so the whole spiritual journey
is about maturation but understanding
clearly why you do what you do and if
it's truly beneficial or
not and do you want to continue to do
that or not that's the bulk of the
spiritual journey it's not so much
Awakening Awakening is simple it's easy
it's not a process it's a recognition
away every single moment of your
life is that simple there's 's no excuse
you either recognize awareness or you're
lost in story mode that's all those are
the two modes of your mind get lost in
the story of your life or recognize the
fact that you exist end of
story perfect and the more you do that
something happens if you will
energetically to the essence of the mind
it becomes transparent to God to
Divinity to Unity to Natural nonduality
to infinite capacity to perfect timing
you might even become
funny
humorous because you see the joke and
you part of the timing and you can play
with words more
effectively you've got great insight
into psychology your own psychology and
the psychology of others and everything
just becomes clear to you and so many
benefits that are innate to what you
are and they're all activated over time
with practice
of recognizing the aware basic
space-like essence of mind and
prioritizing that right now can only
practice right now remember that you can
only ever practice right now as I'm
speaking not one minute from now you can
only ever practice it right now whatever
you're feeling whatever you're thinking
that's what you want to let go of for 2
to 5
Seconds that's your opportunity whatever
you experience right now that is your
opportunity for awakening there is no
other opportunity that's going to come
along there is no other opportunity for
awakening that's going to come along for
you other than this exact precise
configuration of the universe which
you're experiencing right
now apply this again and again and very
quickly you'll become a
master of happiness and a master of
suffering this gives you back your free
will to suffer when you want to and to
be happy when you want
to great
all
right I hope this serves you in some way
I'm sure it
does and it's a good foundational Core
teaching to insert in the beginning of
this benue life trajectory and this
whole journey and process and or let's
call it Evolution let's not process too
much all right let's evolve let us
evolve through dialogue through
meditation through recognition through
community Through through co-creative
Endeavors aligned to the same Mission
the same intention for the whole w l e
the entirety the
completion of Mankind's Evolution into
the next level of its own
awareness through all that alignment let
us evolve let us transmute let us Ascend
let us
not unnecessarily Journey left right up
down forward Left Right process this
that all more stories we can address
them if we need to
from time to time but let's get us back
to the true teachings let's get us back
to soures as soon as we can as
efficiently as we can as holistically as
