Stop Where You Are

This is a loving and kind invitation to take a pause; an absolute pause, and understand where it is you stand in the very moment you are in. The possibility is to stop right now and realize what is here regardless of any practice or belief.

Transcript

You you you We're only here for one reason and that's for you to wake up And if you're already awake to stay true to what you've realized If you stay true to what you realize then to deepen into the realization,

That's why we're here And the only reason really that it's interesting for me that you for anyone wake up is that then there's one less spot of suffering on Mother Earth and this transmission of freedom passes through your heart And you become a flame that lights other flames Not by preaching or teaching but by the silent open mind and the open heart that's left when you give up your control And so many people in here have experienced spiritual ego Trungpa Rinpoche who came to Boulder right after I left in 1973 talked about spiritual materialism Spiritual materialism is the spiritual ego consuming experience And that's what we tend to be Left with after an acid trip or after a profound insight or a profound awakening Whatever it is that may have brought you to it is that when it passes The story of me continues and now the story of me is more grandiose It has wake it has discovered awakening.

It's enlightened.

It's one.

It's And it tells itself a story a spiritual story now And so the possibility is to end it all To stop everything It doesn't have it stop where you are And if it stops where you are then you become the living possibility for everyone else That's why we're here In my initial awakening in 1972 I didn't have any self insight and I wasn't interested in self insight.

I wasn't interested in being happy.

I Wasn't interested in being free.

I was interested in changing the world And then I discovered later That actually the world doesn't change.

I have to change I have to wake up.

I have to take responsibility for myself.

I Have to be happy.

I have to be fulfilled the joke What a surprise That it's possible for all of us to be happy and fulfilled And all of us start out wanting to change the world To change our parents to change our brothers and sisters to change our children to change our boss to change our teachers to change the government We want them to be different.

If only they would do it the way we want then we would be happy That's how we all start and Then there's a maturity To realize there's no one else here,

But you No one's doing it to you no one did it to you no one made you this way There's no one here,

But you And the great gift of the Enoch ram is it gives us discernment it gives us Clarifying wisdom to look into the patterns that are running subconsciously The danger is as it gets used to justify those patterns.

That's what I've seen so far in this trip I stopped teaching the Enoch ram for a number of years because it's been misused so badly It's not taught correctly But the great value of it has drawn me back to Offer to you actually when I was Dying of cancer.

I realized that If I either way if I live or die and my life is in service If I live through this then I have to Go back to teaching which I had stopped so Here I am From your brother just like you maybe older or beat up But we've all had essentially the same life experience It's possible for all of us My question is It's about this keeping villages You Know when I'm in sets on when I'm here,

It's all You know I come to peace and quiet and peace and quiet isn't enough You're settling for peace and quiet you can just take a Valium You're into the drug of satsang Gives you peace and quiet for a short time Yeah That's drugs When you really get into satsang really it's not comfortable it's not peace and quiet It's fire It's terror.

It's death It's losing everything that you don't want to lose It's the terror of that You Otherwise you're just self-narcotizing Otherwise you're self-narcotizing Peace and quiet And that's why it doesn't last So what do you want I Want to be free I know when you say that I don't believe you I want to be free That's bullshit Well anything that I'll say it's has to come from your heart if it comes from your heart It's believable if it comes from your mind Yeah,

I want to be free But my words always usually fail me yeah speak what's real Right now I don't care about the best What do you really want Don't know Then tell the truth that you don't know what you want If that's what it is No problem,

Just tell the truth You want to live happily ever after in a quiet peaceful blissful life You know the moment I open my mouth it fails me so I can't No that's not true That's not true When you opened your mouth that didn't fail you it expressed your mind very clearly When you said I want to be free you said it with a certain voice tone a certain energy That was very accurate Didn't fail you It's an expression of what's going on inside you have to be honest with yourself Words don't fail you I'm afraid to speak because words are words You're afraid to speak that's very good You're afraid to speak So you think you're afraid to express what's really there so you think and then you call it words not words fear Very good.

Now we're getting closer to something real You're afraid Can you feel that?

Yeah Good Let it get stronger Let all your fear of your whole life that you've been running from come It's all here What are you really afraid of?

It's not any thinking I don't know Why did you come up here?

I knew I had to come and talk to you So it was like as I said in the beginning To get that reminder Yeah,

Forget reminders Reminders are Valium Reminders are so the spiritual ego can get another hit Another?

Hit Another feel good Another wonderful experience Another more calm and more peaceful or Whatever you're calling it But that has nothing to do with waking up It has nothing to do with the truth It has nothing to do with fulfillment It's just a chunky chasing states Because there's a terror of meeting what's here But first you have to know what you want As you said you came up here for a reminder I'm sorry but I don't do the reminders Oh,

One trick pony It's a possibility for freedom Yeah There's a possibility for real true freedom Freedom doesn't need reminders Freedom doesn't lose itself Freedom doesn't care about calm states and peaceful states That then get lost in day to day So what I was thinking,

I know what you say I know that And at the same time like you know Gangaji was saying And that was Cause it was like yesterday,

Was it yesterday?

The day before yesterday,

Yeah The woman that came up like you know that it's Doesn't matter if you already seen that that coming That association is still,

It's that nurturing that You know that love Where is love now?

In your eyes So if you see love in these eyes It's only love that can see that So then you turn towards love Inside First you see it outside Then you turn inside And if you really turn towards love You turn away from everything else Everything Everything you think you need or want Everything,

Every identity And you find what you really want So there is something going on When you're saying that I'm aware of Yeah I'm aware of some fear And I don't know if that's my fixation But I,

You know that I never can do it Even if I've done it,

I lose it again That's a mental fixation Fear fixation But first you have to know what you want And if what you want really is freedom It's not well,

Yeah I want freedom It's like if you're being held underwater And somebody had you by their throat and they were holding you underwater You say,

Well yeah I want some air You would be so one pointed to getting the next air That's what's,

That's wanting freedom So what's coming up,

It's like I cannot make myself You kind of I cannot make myself What?

You can't make yourself want freedom,

No Either you do or you don't You tell the truth I believe I do Tell the truth If you do,

You give a hundred percent to freedom Then it's not about a belief I do It's putting everything in Everything into this one desire That's wanting freedom,

That freedom will be yours First you have to know it's possible It's possible It's possible It's possible for you It takes your full,

A hundred percent commitment,

That's all And that means the willingness to turn away from everything you think you are It means the willingness to be terrified It means the willingness to not follow your thoughts The only way you'll know is if you know for yourself But that takes your full,

A hundred percent participation Ok So the second question is how you see I know this fixation How knowing that fixation will help back in the enneagram Ok,

So if you know the fixation is doubt Yeah Don't touch it,

Every time you start to think the doubt,

Feel terrified instead Every time There is no doubt,

There is no thought of doubt without unexperienced fear No really So every time you're questioning yourself,

Every time you're doubting yourself Every time you're telling yourself the story of,

Well yeah I did it but now That is the way you're avoiding terror Terror of loss of control,

Terror of the unknown So if you give up security And give up every idea you have of security And You stop thinking of how to make yourself secure By knowing and controlling and imagining a scary future Thank you Thank you so much Zagazant Thank you I was really grateful to hear you talk about your relationship with Gangaji in the beginning And how there was a battle between you and how that was wrapped up in your fixation Yes And I thought,

Hey that's a really juicy one for me at the moment Yes And I don't know anything about the enneagram or the fixation but It's something that I've been seeing it play and I really want to be free of so Yes I'd like some insight Some help if possible So if you wake up Yeah That's all that's required Your partner can be just as they are Yeah Yeah and I can feel because something's been playing out That I'm not awake Yes And there's something that's not anxious And that's your teacher So then if you can experience it You'll notice it's showing you where you're identified Where you're taking it personally That's your teacher If you don't If you stop that identification,

If you stop taking it personally The impulse will be to move and if you don't move It'll burn,

It'll be a fire It'll be an ignition And that's the starting of the burning And the deeper that you don't move The stronger the impulse to move,

The hotter the fire And then this fire burns up Your false identification is a somebody A somebody I guess I'm thinking what is this false identification Because it's still at the moment quite unconscious Right,

So I can't do the whole Enneagram thing with you right now No,

That's fine But what we do in the retreat is we show each fixation We show videos of people expressing it And you get to see,

It is so obvious You get to see the body type,

The language,

The story And they go,

Oh my God,

There it is,

That's me Because it is so precise It's not astrology,

It's not numerology,

It's not abstract It's very concrete,

Like different kinds of dogs Like if you came down from another planet And you saw dogs And you'd never seen them before You wouldn't know they were different kinds You know,

You'd report back and you'd go,

Okay There's these four-legged feeding tubes And they've got the sensory organs at one end Excretion at the other end and a tail And two ears,

Two eyes But then if you stick around long enough you go,

Whoa,

There's all kinds of dogs Well,

There's all kinds of humans,

Just like there's all kinds of dogs And we don't see that yet But eventually we as a species will all see this This will be very obvious,

It's something that we'll be,

We'll know it in the schools Because it's clear,

It's like the color of your eyes It's like,

If you never noticed that you had those color eyes And then one day you look in a mirror and you go,

Oh my God Look at the color of my eyes,

How did that happen?

What's that about?

How do I change it?

Fixation is like that You can't change it just like you don't change the color of your eyes It's the way the genetics has formed an alliance to create a survival suit And there's only a certain number of styles of survival suits in the human species Three physical,

Three mental,

Three emotional And when you see them,

It's like you know them And it's like,

If you give a chihuahua a permanent,

It's still not a poodle So basically it's identifying something in me that is a structure Yeah,

There's a structure running Called character,

Or fixation,

Or ego And we never had,

You know,

We never knew about an ego And this is another thing,

Freud is not that old in the human consciousness So his discovery of ego came from watching hypnosis And realizing,

Whoa,

There's a mind going on here that's not being addressed And it's deeper than the conscious mind But he didn't know how to get to it or how to address it So Jung came in with dreams as a way of doing it And Freud has an analysis But really they didn't have the tools And the beauty of the Enneagram is it gives us this exquisite tool of self-discovery To go,

Oh,

There's a passion What passion runs this life?

When you know it,

You don't have to be a slave for the passion Every fixation has a defense mechanism When you know it,

You can stop indulging it So every fixation has a style of speech And when you notice it,

You can start to,

Oh So for sixes,

It's about security It's like everything is set up to be manageable and safe And it shows up in the speech patterns Ones that they're teaching you and preaching to you And they're angry,

And they're angry,

You're not getting it And when you see it,

It's just like,

Whoa,

Dogs,

You know?

It's a kennel So personally it just comes back to watching the arisings Yes,

That's what it is That's exactly all it is That's vigilance Vigilance is not touching the next thought If you don't touch the next thought,

You're free It's not really that simple And if you do,

What the Enneagram does is shows you What's running subconsciously That creates this ignorance that you do pick up the next thought And then with your partner,

You start to see,

It's like,

Okay It's like,

He's a lawnmower,

He's not a rake And you're not going to get him to perform like a rake He's going to perform like a lawnmower You know,

It's like,

We're different that way,

You know?

Yeah,

I mean,

I understand that we're different But it's watching where,

Obviously,

I fall into a trap Yes,

That's it And where that ends up harming another being That's it,

That's really the bottom And so,

With Gangaji,

What she often talks about is a fore-fixation Which is this melodramatic suffering Once she was jealous,

Because I was with someone else And she was in her jealousy and realized,

Oh,

This is the fixation I'm getting off on this And that clarity,

That truth-telling,

Cut it And in that moment,

I couldn't fight with her about it anymore And then she became my teacher Because there was no war there anymore She wasn't defending her jealousy And I was like,

Oh,

Then I had to drop my thing So that's how we can serve each other Thank you Yes,

Yes So we can't fix each other,

Which is what we all want to do You know,

Fix our partners,

Fix our children,

Fix our parents Make them see what we see the way we see it So that then they'll be That never works But we can be true to ourselves so deeply That you're no longer personally engaged in the warfare You're no longer personally engaged in the drama,

In the struggle In the family dynamic Good to see you Yeah,

I feel some fear around it Because I really miss being me And a lot comes up And,

Yeah,

I just I mean the wish is to be real,

To be normal Yeah,

Well normal is not real I guess not,

But Very different,

Really important Natural is very different from normal Yeah So to be real,

To be you,

You have to know who you are And to know who you are you have to turn away from everything else Yeah I still get caught,

I can feel still caught in family issues Wanting more love,

More attention Yes,

So that's what keeps you from realizing yourself So you're either going to look for love there Or you're going to look for love somewhere else I guess that's why I'm up here Good,

So what if in this moment you have no family?

Yeah No parents,

No children,

No lovers,

No partners,

No brothers or sisters Just in this moment,

No family,

No ties What's left?

It feels really scary Yes,

That's right That's what keeps it going Yeah,

I can feel that You either will serve fear or you will serve authenticity I'd like authenticity,

I'd like it Yeah,

It is So then,

So what if you're afraid?

Yeah,

I feel like I've got to be a big girl Prove myself to be someone important and I'll be okay,

You know,

To be able Yeah,

That's all the social act Yeah So what if that disappears?

I don't know,

I don't know That's right,

You don't know That's the beginning,

That's the beginning So if you don't know anything and there's no connection and there's no family and nothing you have to prove and you don't have to be anyway at all Yeah What's left?

Well,

Nothing came up That's right,

Nothing is left That's right So be nothing for a moment Right now be nothing and what's your experience?

I wonder if it's.

.

.

You want everything Yeah,

Well so that want,

Where's that going to take you?

To hell No?

I got the answer Yes,

That's right So it's your choice You're certainly free to go where you like Yeah,

Really So if you don't follow that,

That thought Then what's deeper?

It feels like there's someone wanting to be deeper Okay,

So let it be there,

Let everything be there No,

It feels like I want guidance from you That's a thought And if you don't touch that thought,

What's here?

It still feels like me wanting to prove to be special,

To be someone Those are all thoughts What if you don't follow them?

No thought,

Just a moment It's scary Yes,

That's right,

So that's your challenge Yeah,

Wants to know Yes,

You'll either follow that or you'll stay true to yourself You get a headache,

Very quickly Yes,

Yes So you know better Yeah So then this is growing up Yeah,

Really It's not being something special,

Not performing for anybody else It's taking full responsibility for your own self To be terrified and still stay true,

That's your challenge Yeah,

Really Yeah,

Escaping from fear,

I'm taught that So,

Welcome it,

It's your teacher Yes,

Yes Yes,

Yes Yes,

Yes,

Thank you Thank you,

I missed you I came up here because I want to understand which type I am I have time What will that do for you?

I used to think it would help bring me freedom Go first,

Be free,

And then say If what you want is freedom,

You can be free,

You don't need to know anything at all And to stay true,

Knowing your fixation can be useful,

But first,

Be free I've had moments of freedom And then what?

Thoughts arise Yeah,

And then what?

And then I got so bogged down And you followed the thoughts,

Yeah What if you don't follow the thoughts?

I don't know how to stop The thoughts don't have to stop,

You can stop following them Like right now,

You hear the baby?

Yeah Does it matter?

That there's a baby here?

Mm-hmm,

No But if it did matter,

You'd say,

I don't know how to stop the baby,

I can't be quiet How can I be quiet as long as there's a baby here?

The baby keeps making noise,

I can't stop it,

What am I supposed to do?

I don't know what to do,

Can you help me stop this?

I don't know what to do,

The baby cure It's often like that inside my head Exactly And there's pictures too,

And there's But what if it's just a baby crying,

And it has nothing to do with you?

There's so much pull to fall into it Yes,

That's right As horrible as it is That's right,

It's an addiction It's an addiction to falling into it But hey,

Every junkie has to hit bottom And when you hit bottom,

You say enough I don't want it to get any worse Well then stop now And the thoughts can be there But they're not your business It's like a radio,

Somebody left down in the room If you fight with the radio,

Or if you think the radio is talking to you and you talk back to it It's a little crazy Even if you're addicted to it You're addicted to the morning show,

Every morning But finally you realize the wisdom That the addiction doesn't serve Beautiful,

You want it to stop,

Beautiful But you want the radio to stop What if the radio doesn't stop?

You can stop listening to it And the simplest,

Easiest way is to listen to your heart And to listen to your heart You have to listen to everything between you and your heart Which are all the feelings,

The emotions that you're avoiding by listening to the radio So the question that arises is The first question is how do I feel my heart when it just How do I do that?

That's the first question,

That's the question of the doubting mind But everyone has a doubting mind No Okay,

Everyone who's not realized has that No No No No No No Some have arrogant minds,

Some have sleeping minds,

Some have doubting minds That's fixation Are you saying you think I'm a six?

I didn't say that That's a very six question,

Isn't it?

That's a question of the doubting mind So,

Be terrified,

Give up security What if right now you are totally terrified and insecure and no place to land?

What's still here?

Nothing Nothing That's right,

So then who are you?

Nothing Then be nothing What are thoughts made out of?

I don't know Where do they come from?

I don't know Well,

Let's watch one,

Do you have any thoughts in your mind now?

Stop,

No thoughts?

Well,

Let's watch one start,

Look down into the depths and watch a thought start coming up No,

My first thought was I can't Very good,

So where did that thought come from?

I don't know Before you actually think I can,

I notice it's starting to rise up before you touch it Yeah Where does it come from?

Like a yellow light Okay,

And where does the yellow light come from?

I don't know Nothing Be nothing and see Okay So in not touching that thought,

It goes back,

Where does it go?

Is it still here?

It's calm?

There's been a few in between Where did it go?

I don't know,

It just like goes into a scramble,

A mess of like pictures and hearing thoughts and seeing thoughts And then where did it go?

Gone though,

Right?

Right It disappeared Disappeared into nothing So if it come from nothing and then returned to nothing and it disappeared into nothing,

What could it be made out of?

Nothing So what did you do about nothing?

So in that moment you went back to looking at the thoughts It's your choice Does it bring you fulfillment?

Does it stop?

That's discipline What are you terrified of?

Nothingness,

Ridicule,

Not having any love Very good And so in following the terror,

Does that help you get any of it?

No So Just be more vigilant Stay true to yourself There's no means bearing everything that's here,

Welcoming everything that's here,

Not thinking about it If there's terror,

Invite it If there's emptiness,

Invite it If you touch the doubts,

You're back in your addiction If you're back in your addiction,

Stop Much easier not to start But if you start,

Stop,

You'll always have the capacity to stop Easiest to stop before you begin,

That's vigilance And if you just touch the first word of I don't,

You stop,

Much easier I don't know what,

Stop,

Much easier I don't know what to do next,

What should I do?

And you follow it and think,

Well,

I shouldn't be thinking this,

I should be quiet I don't know,

You stop thinking,

I can't stop thinking If you don't stop,

Well,

How am I going to do it with all these thoughts?

Much harder,

But still,

You can stop Yes,

You're welcome Yes,

Please I'm new to the emigram and to satsang as well I think I identified with the position you found yourself in when you had the point at which you became,

Felt like you needed to take the political stance to try and I suppose so much of where we are in the world at the moment as we see things going on with the environment I suppose Kind of it's dying Yeah,

And I sort of identify with the ability to be able to deal with that pattern and those patterns that come up in relationships,

In family,

In those close things I suppose I'd love to find the insight of how do you when it's something big that you feel,

Well if I don't do anything then am I just being selfish or am I just saying well,

I can be satisfied with the great life that I have similar things that you talked about,

An amazing loving partner a great house and car and business and all those things I can be satisfied with those,

But if I'm not doing it then who will?

That's right,

It's your responsibility The whole world is counting on you Really?

Yeah So you take responsibility for your situation So is it the letting go that's the responsibility?

When you take responsibility,

When you take it all on your shoulders the whole burden of it,

What's the best,

Most effective way you can make the change?

Maybe you give your life to activities,

Just change the I mean there are actually people in this country who don't believe climate change is real I mean that's amazing,

Right?

So what do you do?

I mean arguing with them certainly doesn't help but if you wake up,

Then there's one less place of suffering there's one more fulfillment in Mother Earth then you have the potential to actually be fulfilled,

To be at peace regardless of your circumstances,

Good news and bad news and that gets passed on,

Gets passed on to your children,

To your partner,

To your work environment to whoever you meet and then you're actually making a difference in the world so it's giving up your selfishness,

It's a great sacrifice and the great joke is,

You give up your selfishness which seems so hard because it seems so much pleasure you give up a burden,

You're giving up suffering and the result is bliss,

The result is fulfillment and when you're fulfilled then your life can really be in service because you're not expecting anything back what's destroying the world is ignorance and greed so you stop ignorance and greed where you are then your life is in service instead of in service of me because ignorance and greed is about me and mine my family,

My work,

My career,

My car,

My me,

My body,

My.

.

.

All that it seems to give us pleasure and it also gives us pain but it never brings us to fulfillment so in the sacrifice of the selfishness of me and mine when you take responsibility for yourself you realize that when me and mine is gone,

What's left is love intelligent,

Overflowing love and then everything that you search for in me and mine is revealed when it's gone in me and mine you search for happiness happiness by having the right relationships,

The right car,

The right stuff and the right job and the right.

.

.

And that will make me happy and it does for a moment until it changes,

Until it wears out so when you're willing to give up that sacrifice what you're left with is freedom and love,

Peace and your life is actually in service of that and that changes the world so how does the.

.

.

What about the education of those things it's really continuing the story isn't it educating others,

I suppose it's the education of others is trying to change others to see the same thing that you're stuck in exactly,

Yeah,

You can't educate others to be free but you can be free and then you're the living example and whoever's interested will catch it from you because whoever's not interested won't see it and do you feel that finding one's life's purpose is just another bigger story?

No,

That's what I'm talking about,

I'm talking about you finding your life's purpose your life's purpose is to be free,

Your life's purpose is to realize yourself that's everyone's life's purpose really that's why you're here so if you find your life's purpose and it is to be free then you can trap all the false identities,

All the fronts you know,

You have a front as a lover,

A father,

A son,

A worker or whatever it is you're doing,

There's a certain front you have to put on and when all that disappears for a moment,

When all your identities as a man as a partner,

As a husband,

As a child,

As a parent,

All disappear what's left in this moment?

Sense of ease sense of ease,

Yes,

That's the beginning a sense of ease,

You're not quite in the door but you're heading in the right direction you've left a huge burden and there's a sense of ease then you go deeper to find out well if I'm not that,

If I'm not a man,

What am I?

Thanks very much You're very welcome Thank you I actually have a big blank now I had a perfect question of,

Or you might formulate it and now it's gone Good,

That's really good news so if you don't bring it back,

You just let everything go,

What's really here?

I've been looking at the Enneagram for a little bit and one thing you said the other night as that sang really resonated in terms of it's a powerful medicine but it can also be used as a poison and I realize that that's where I have some resistance to it and the way that I've actually experienced it being taught It's mostly taught as a poison Yeah and I'm currently involved in in a course where the Enneagram is a large part of it and Sorry That's where I have resistance to it That's fine,

Yeah but what I'm finding is I've been told that numerologically I'm seven and what's quite interesting is that I find,

Yes,

I resonate with it I can see so many patterns and I can see how I get trapped but what you actually said the other night made me feel that's where I have resistance to it and I don't know if that resistance is coming from my mind or if it's coming from something true or whether I'm pushing something away that is powerful medicine or whether I'm intuitively feeling something that's deeper and Yeah,

Stay true to the depths Yeah There are mainly false teachings in the world and people,

Ignorant people say,

Oh well it's all the same you know it's not the same You learn the Enneagram from one person,

It's not the same as learning it from someone else You have satsang with one person,

It's not the same as having satsang with someone else They're really different and if you mix them together you get very confused and so you have to stay true to yourself Get up and walk out if it's appropriate or stay and give yourself a hundred percent either way but in between what might bother?

Go a hundred percent or leave a hundred percent?

Give yourself fully wherever you are Yeah,

That's my challenge It's everyone's challenge Most people live their lives,

You know,

With something secret,

Stash and reserve just in case a secret exit,

A secret back door not going in a hundred percent just in case it doesn't work out,

There's plan B Well,

What if you don't have a plan B?

What if you give yourself a hundred percent fully to what's here in this moment?

Then tell the truth and maybe you're realizing that,

Wow,

I shouldn't be here,

Time to move on or here's what's here You don't have to stay in an abusive relationship if you're in an abusive relationship and you tell the truth leave You know?

It's like you don't have to,

You're free to be,

Do what you want and if you're in a relationship and it's not abusive,

It's just all in your head stay You know,

You can say you stay true to your heart It's not a mental decision If you live your life mentally,

You're faking it You're using thoughts to imitate being It's really funny just now,

It's how my head is like Yeah,

It is like Yeah,

Let the whole thing blow up You're messy Yes,

Huh?

I'll clean up the mess,

No worries Let your past and future blow up too No past,

No future,

Really Never existed,

There is no future Not the way you can imagine it And what's left?

Nothing Good And what are you?

I don't even know Then you'll find out Start with nothing and go deeper,

Find out That's the point,

It's the point of life Everything else is an avoidance,

Waste of time My belly,

I just feel this Good What is that?

Energy just wanting to push me down to the earth Good Feel like I'm in a place where I'm not Energy just wanting to push me down to the earth Good Feel like going all the way down my legs Yeah So you still believe you're a body and that there's an earth That's a deep trance The way you can wake up from it is finding what's real That there is no body and no earth It's just empty space That's right Yes Then find yourself there What's aware of empty space?

That's the beginning,

Yeah That's the way in Yeah,

It's terrifying Good,

That's right,

It's terrifying So it keeps it so rare Most people get terrified and run back into the thoughts Yeah,

The ego's coming in Yeah,

So what?

Let it be terrifying,

Whatever it is that makes it What's your alternative?

Yes,

You're very welcome,

Thank you Why reproduce and survive?

Countless generations of reproduction and survival So that we have the consciousness to reflect on ourselves So that we have the consciousness to look back And see what's real,

To see who we are To see what's before the DNA What's before the machine What precedes the animal And in that we discover freedom We discover who we are And that then makes it all worthwhile The countless generations of suffering You know,

We're the survivors How many generations of our parents were,

You know Went through such misery And grandparents and grandparents and grandparents All the way back All the way back to the single cell Eating each other Being eaten Being harmed,

Terrorized Being killed,

Killing All so that each one of us has the capacity to wake up And when you wake up It feeds all the way back through your genetic line to the first cell You are the redeemer You are the redemption You are what makes it all worthwhile Your awakening serves you,

Serves the world,

Serves the planet And serves your genetic line all the way back Otherwise it's just about more reproduction and survival And then we build stories on top of that To keep ourselves insane Insane but normal And then we build enlightened stories on top of that But it's this grace that brought us together It's the love that's alive in each heart that's the same love The same consciousness that speaks these words Receives them Same And so,

It's time for all of us To take responsibility one by one No one can do it for you You can't force it As a political revolutionary You know,

I followed the Cuban revolution And the Chinese revolution It seemed like it was an attempt to recreate consciousness as selfless That's what the whole Cuban thing was Like,

You cut the sugar cane because you're a part of the community Not because it's your job You serve the community because you serve the people But you can't force people that way You can't make it happen You can't legislate it But each one of us can wake up and be responsible And that's the living possibility And that's why we're here And we'll see,

You know,

Who knows Will the Cuban race wake up before it destroys its own capacity to live in this earth?

Unknown That's up to you Thank you so much for being here May all beings be happy and free Shanti,
