Transcript

Imagine,

Just imagine for a moment,

A world where everybody felt incredibly well.

Just where everybody felt,

You probably experienced those times where you felt just amazing.

And it just felt amazing.

At different times in your life,

And it's not necessarily because lots of things were going on,

But you just felt like you were really rocking.

Imagine a world where everybody felt that,

Like they just felt alive.

That's what I mean.

Where everybody felt alive,

Fully alive.

Yes,

There are some people who are below the threshold of having what they need.

But you know,

I remember when I was in India doing retreat many years ago,

More than 20 years ago,

And these very,

Very poor farmers,

And the daughter and the father and the mother getting up and doing the,

Tending the goats and just this dry piece of land every day.

They were so poor,

But my goodness,

The light in their eyes,

They were so alive.

Hard,

Working hard every day,

Strong,

The body strong,

Even on the young girl.

But they were alive.

Imagine a world where everybody was in life.

Probably wouldn't cost nearly as much to have us all here.

Probably cost a fraction of what it's costing to have us all here at the moment.

If we said,

Do you know what,

We're going to set our stall out on making sure we feel connected and that life is just pouring through us.

We got out there and we got stuck into that,

Which is already there.

Because that's the most well that you ever feel.

That's the most well that you ever feel.

It's got nothing to do with whether you've worked out your personal storyline,

Whether you achieved those things you've been working years to achieve.

I know people who achieved everything they ever dreamed of and absolutely rinsed by the end of it.

So it's about whether you feel alive.

What do you have to do to feel alive?

You don't have to do much.

You have to make sure you don't do too much.

Keeping the background,

That feeling of,

I just want to feel alive.

What would you have to do or what could you do to get yourself closer to that?

Because if you put that as your sort of marker,

Not some kind of personal resolution,

Justification of yourself and working on all that complicated stuff.

No,

I just want to feel alive.

See where it nudges you.

It might create in you a willingness to let go stuff that you might otherwise think,

No,

I can't possibly let that go.

That's part of me.

That's what I do.

That's who I am.

Nonsense.

What you are is a human being that's here to experience what it is to be alive.

Put that in the mix.

Brilliant observations of our condition. I could listen to and benefit from it each day. Thank you. (Better categorized as a Talk than Guided, though, I feel.)

I think about this…often when Im rushed. It is a pause button to cease RUSH and feel this exact moment. To feel alive and BEING fully in THIS moment is to awaken myself to the treasure I have unfolding right then. Thank you Burgs I love your breath in my sails
