Michael Singer - Beyond Distraction

agative Jam Masters I always teach that news is a very sacred very special time celestially the planet has orbited the sun once and the question becomes you're not going to be here that many orbits it's just the truth what does it matter 50 60 70 80 90 100 it's been doing this for 4.5 billion years wake up what is the meaning what is the purpose what are you doing here why did you take birth what is supposed to be going on during these orbits the most important way to look at life is from outside the

Earth off the Earth that's why the astronauts they don't go very far you know they go to the Moon they're lucky that's not very far to say the least it's not even off the planet's orbit and they have this thing called the overview effect I know you've heard of it all the astronauts have this you get off this planet and you look at it just floating out there in the middle of nowhere it wakes you up you understand all of a sudden that which seems so meaningful and so important who likes you how many likes

do you have on Facebook and how many divorces and marriages and what's going on with your children and me me I me my I me my I me mine I me mine all right all of a sudden it's not I me mine it's whoa are you kidding me that's what's going on there's this blue Christmas bulb floating in black dark empty space it's been doing that for 4.5 billion years what am I doing what do I think is important what is is going on and they have these experiences and hopefully when they come back down

they're able to do something much more meaningful the other is near-death experiences that's the other one that people have the other way of getting out of here and those who have near-death experiences almost all of them they are totally different when they come back doesn't matter do you believe the experience they had do they really see the white light to them that does not matter what matters is they had an experience that woke them up that let them understand I'm not staying here for some reason I've come back my whole life is different how can

it be the same how can money have the same meaning how can relationship have the same meaning they come they go everyone's had them there's 8.5 billion people floating around here everyone trying to do something and you do something more meaningful with your life what does that mean we've only stepped I even inches centimet millimeters nanometers off the planet with what we just talked about what about the rest is it just backdrop how often do you think about it what everything everything I talked to you weeks ago about a black hole by the way every

single large galaxy has a black hole and there's trillions of galaxies and certainly hundreds of billions of large galaxies this one black hole they found last year you listen to me because you want to talk about God we're talking about God not this God they make god of the mind this one black hole black holes emit Rays spheres of light they used to think they were emitted from the black hole now they know they're created as matter and light is sucked into the black hole these beams rais spheres of light shoot off both end they

measured one of those the power the energy source the energy amount of one of those lights to get an idea of its power they took the largest atomic bomb nuclear bomb that has ever been built Russia built it I had read about it before it's called the Zar T TS R the Zar bomb it was 50 times more powerful than the combination of Hiroshima and Nagasaki when the Russians set it off it scared them to death they vowed they would never do it again they wrote to every country that had nuclear power admitted they had

done this and said don't do this all right that beam of light that beam of energy is equivalent to30 billion of those bombs going off every minute for a million years each moment I know you can't comprehend that and I don't want you to I want it to blow your mind I want you to understand of course you can't understand you're locked into this tiny little sphere of frame of reference that says this stuff's real that's real that's one black hole out of two trillion galaxies that's God the way I look at God you don't

have to is just as your Consciousness right now is everywhere is within your body foot hand nose isn't it you're conscious of every bit of your body that's God's body that one consciousness has that as a body all two trillion galaxies with all those light and everything and this little planet in the middle of nowhere of one star around of 300 billion in one Galaxy is part of that Consciousness not a very big part right or wrong but it is still all the same Consciousness every single place every atom every Galaxy every single thing it's

just all the one Consciousness aware of itself existing within itself creating itself and yes this is part of it but that's a pretty small part but the amazing part is as follows what is the purpose of your existence on this planet to know that you are that consciousness do you hear me you right here you who I'm talking to you who hears me you are that Consciousness listening to that part of its Universe just like it listens to the giant 130 billion bombs going off and everything it it's aware of all of it well it's

also aware of your thoughts not it is you are so what in the world is going on that is what the great ones have taught you the purpose of your existence is self-realization what is self-realization God realization what is God realization Universal Consciousness you right here now not go find it where do I go is it inalas I need to find the master somewhere all right the fact that you are conscious that you are aware of your thoughts aware of your emotions aware of your body aware of what's coming through your senses that awareness is

the exact same awareness that is the universe what went wrong what happened amazingly they've taught it to us but of course we can't listen so they tell it in Parables those who know tell it in stories there's this thing called the fall from the garden ever heard it it doesn't mean you're a sinner doesn't mean you did something wrong it means you are the consciousness of the universe you are everything dancing within yourself you are all seeing all knowing and yet existing everywhere and enjoying and experiencing all of yourself you're like a Sufi dancer youve

seen the Sufi dancers lose themselves dancing that's who you are dancing in your creation what happened you fell you the Consciousness fell from that state how it's not a fairy tale it's the most important thing you will ever understand and ever learn because if you want back you have to know how you fell down need to work your way back how did you fall down believe it or not the stories in Genesis are telling you that but we can't hear it what in the world does it mean when Adam hid from God how do you

hide from everything how do you hide all right so beautiful because he tasted of the tree of self- knowledge what does that mean I am separate that's self- knowledge Duality you know you all study the dualist you all like the dualist teachings I am separate I am separate I am the body okay how do we know that Adam that's what he meant by you know I tasted a tree of self- knowledge he was literally hiding from God in the garden and when God said Adam where are you you kidding me now you're duel you're duel

you're talking to yourself he said what in the world you got around your waist man it's a fig Leaf I put fig leaes on treeses I was naked please for a moment you know how deep that is every animal's naked they don't know they're naked do they it's just basically means that the Consciousness fell into the body I am this body and there's this and there's this part and that part and I got to cover this part and I got to hide myself okay you don't go standing out there in the plaza naked you better

not go gets all ego and it gets all kinds of and if you do it's probably you're proud right or ashamed or whatever the heck it is it's like it's just me it's just me standing there it's not God you fell from the Consciousness down to the personal Consciousness the Masters tell the story but I they can tell the story all they want but you don't hear it till you get there y Master said when you drop into the body it is such a traumatic unbelievably scary experience that you now are locked inside of this

receiving its sounds receiving its sights receiving the taste and touch and this and that and all this stuff's coming in and it distracts you and that's the key word I always teach you that people think distraction is a non-spiritual world distraction is probably the most spiritual word there is that's why you fell from the garden you got distracted by what by this by all this input that's coming in through the senses don't you it's said it should be something you can relate to you are being distracted if a loud sound booms right now you're not

listening to me boom your conscious goes out there it gets distracted and the same thing with sights and the same thing with tastes and so you put some really really good food in your mouth oh you're gone it distracted your Consciousness from where it was prior to that did it not put some disgusting food in your mouth things distract your cons ious the senses sending their signals their messages into you which is a totally natural thing that's why you have senses if you don't have senses you don't know you're here you don't experience creation not

this part of it anyways you're a robot you're the Consciousness inside of a robot and the robot picks up this plane and passes it back to you that's what it's supposed to do it's not wrong it's not a renunciation it's not about never touching anything or seeing anything why would it exist it's so much deeper than that is God created himself and expressed himself in in all these sounds and sights and touch and tastes and colors and and and 130 billion times atomic bombs you hear me it's just all God's everything so all gets created

he wants to experience himself that's why there are senses sending all the in the Bible it says in my father's house there are many mansions that's what Y is talking about when he says you works on this plane and somebody else works on this plane and Jesus is this there's I don't want talk I don't talk about it you know that I'm very left brain I'm an economist right so right it's like there's all these PLS of reality that's what that means in my father house there are many mansions this is one thing one slice

of reality meaningless okay if God can create 200 trillion galaxies with all these things I've been talking about you don't worry about different planes also you have to know about them it doesn't make any difference there's no reason to know about them you should be interacting with you're interacting with but it's all there so therefore there needs to be senses that send the messages back to the universal Consciousness and all of your senses send the messages back to the same Consciousness but it doesn't seem like that and we'll talk about why all everything everything in

creation is being experienced by the same Consciousness created by and experienced by dance and ecstasy in the same Consciousness but when the Consciousness drops into the body it is a traumatic amazingly strong experience it is so distracting that's why babies cry when they come out it is so distracting that all these inputs are coming in and they're strange and it just all comes in and it's not comfortable you that's the start of the whole thing it's not comfortable period great Saints this is beautiful my Shakti brought us the dur statue this beautiful Saint over here

very very high lady didn't want know she wasn't like the rest of them she didn't want anyone know who she was but she she wouldn't she was SAS she was true SAS you don't talk about yourself you talk about your past but we were very close and she would sometimes talk about her past and she once told me ever since I was a little two three-year-old girl I could never understand why anybody wanted anything why did they want toys why did they want this why did they want that it was just quiet inside and I

I never understood from my whole life why anybody ever wanted anything Namaste okay she was a very very highly evolved being when she was born okay we're not so when we drop down it's not comfortable it's scary how would you like to step into a place that things are swinging around and lights and colors and noise and you know have any idea what's going on what are you going to try and do get some Solid Ground aren't you get your bearings at a very very Panic deep level it's like someone who has Amnesia true total

Amnesia they get bonked in the head they come out they don't know who they are they don't know who they belong to they don't know their family they don't know their P that's scary stuff how would you like that no okay it's like it's just you don't know what to do so what happens is you drop down into the body and you start to try to build solidity that's what it's it's all about that's what your whole life has been about that's what it is going to be about unless you do something about it you're

going to try and be okay ever ask people how they're doing how you doing I'm okay how you doing I'll goodbye how you doing it's been worse you hear me is it not true are you not trying to be okay have you not always tried to be okay ever since you can ever remember that's what you're doing in there that's why cuz you're lost the Consciousness lost its connection its Center its seat in its Consciousness and it focused there's the next thing about so we said distraction it focused on what it's distracted by that's what

all psychology is about your parents got divorced and then they did this and that happened things happened in there that were very distracting therefore they drew your Consciousness to them and you had to figure out what to do with them they happened and you couldn't handle them they weren't comfortable they weren't okay it just wasn't okay ever since you were little and so what did you do you triy to use this thing called will which is a very powerful these words are very powerful what is will will is the power of your Consciousness focusing to

make things happen your conscious does not have to focus it can expand it can expand out it can expand and then it's open it's free and it's beautiful you're moving toward your natural state but that's not what happens what happens is something happens and it draws your Consciousness to it and because it draws your Consciousness to it you're left holding the bag what do I do with this why' she say this to me why did this happen oh my God what do I do with this and so you one way or another figure out what

to do and what Freud said and he's right is the ones that you can't handle are there any things in your life that have happened that you can't handle are there anything in your life you can't handle are they still in there if you can't handle it you have to do something about it it's like a hot potato what do I do with it and what Freud said is what you do with it if it's really serious is you try to push it out of your Consciousness okay it shouldn't be in your Consciousness it already

happened it's over it's done it's not part of God's creation not his physical creation it's pasted nothing that already happened still exists except that you kept it where did you keep it in your pocket where would you keep it it it's gone there's not a single adom from the past that's still there doing what it did is there they're all doing the next moment you have another layer of your being your mind your your psyche your mental and emotional part of your being don't you anybody got thoughts any got emotions so what you did is

you stored it you found a way to store it in your thoughts and emotions so we call it suppression or repression you pushed it away and stored it somewhere it shouldn't even be there just understand nothing that happened in the past should still be there it's like it's not there you can't point to it show me mommy show me when you fell the tree show me you can't it doesn't exist but you couldn't let it go you couldn't let it pass you're in there you're conscious your Consciousness is God it's got the power of God

but it's focused down on this tiny little object but it has power that's your power of will same power that God used to create creation you focus to create your stuff that's what will is Will is a very powerful thing you absolutely have free will you don't exercise it you let these impressions that keep coming back up determine your behavior but you have free will in fact if you didn't have free will you would not have held that stuff inside you chose to hold that inside you sat there I can't handle this and you used

your will to suppress it yeah yes now the suppressed stuff is going to tend to determine your behavior isn't it but you did that no my mother no no it's gone show me that moment again I don't care about a photograph the moment doesn't exist the atoms don't exist the people don't exist the thought do you understand that it doesn't exist it's gone it it keeps moving through time and space you used your free will to say not this none on my watch that did not happen the reality is it happened and I couldn't handle

it me in here the Consciousness it was so shocking it was so disturbing it was so unaccept whatever it was I could not let it come in and pass through me okay if I could there's not a problem is there but I couldn't we can discuss that later but basically you know what I'm talking about it's a story of your life so what did you do with it you did something with it you didn't let it go see you had to do something with it cuz it's still there why is it still there because you

stopped it from passing through that is the power of will you have free will you made a mess in there and you pushed it down and you either rra oh he didn't mean that or I'll never talk to him again I can't no one should like him I'll tell you hear what I'm saying he did something to be able to process it somehow or you didn't process it at all you just push it down there and it got totally suppressed people deny things don't they all that stuff you study in Psychology from 101 to 2040

is what did you do with the stuff that you couldn't let go cuz the stuff you let go of ain't in there you drive by white lines all the time they go right through don't they drive by trees all the time drive by cars all the time unless it's a car that looks like the one your mother had when she got in the accident then 20 30 years later I know I'm not going to be the same for the rest of my life that's where my moods come from that's where all that garbage comes from

and it also determines the direction of my life no I'm not going to live in New Jersey I don't care where you want to live I love you I'm not going to live in New Jersey I'm not I'm not I don't care I don't want to talk about it whoa what happened in New Jersey nothing hear me it determines your decisions it determines everything in your life doesn't it in other words you made a mess in there life did not make a mess life happened it's happening all over the universe not just in your little

tiny moment you hear me it's happening not just on the planet Earth everywhere all over the entire galaxy 1.3 million Earths fit inside the sun I'm sorry if you're tired of hearing of it 1.3 million Earths fit inside the sun and the Sun is one of 300 billion stars in one Galaxy and there are two trillion galaxies what happened that you couldn't handle what wasn't supposed to happen what was wrong what was right what was good what was bad it just is it is what it is because it is open your eyes and you will

see what's in front of you open your ears you will hear what's in front of you now interact with it let's get let's bring both sides what am I supposed to do interact with it how it will tell you it will call on you to interact with it in the way that you standing right there are supposed to interact with the moment that's unfolding in front of you and that is true of every moment in Einstein's time space continuum every moment has its place and its neighbors and its interaction and they create the next moment

and so it goes on there is no right there is no wrong there's no good there's no bad there's no better there's no worse there's just God now they don't like that God do they I like the god who's just I like the god who's fair I like the God who takes care of me that doesn't mean he doesn't I'm not denying any of that but you want to talk truth there's just God you're the one who developed Concepts views opinions preferences hopes dreams beliefs in your mind and then made God fit in them your

God fits in them which is while you fight with each other about God so it's not a question of who's right it's like it's not like that there's just creation and there's just the Consciousness that created creation experiencing creation experiencing every aspect of its creation and blissing out on all of it it's like an artist who just paints and doesn't matter what they paint they don't want anyone to see it it has nothing to do with that does it it has to do with expressing every aspect of being that's what's happening but we can't handle

it and I I understand believe me right we cannot handle that that's completely out of the question it's too big too real isn't it so what we do is sit there and say there are parameters people sometimes ask me what about boundaries you don't ever want to talk to me about boundaries what are boundaries that where I have a limit of what I can handle what I can't got don't have boundaries if it's one and its whole There Are No Boundaries there's just creation but so basically because we can't handle the moments that's unfolding in

front of us which is a very small how small is the moment unfolding in front of you right now here we are how a wonderful moment how many other moments are going on right now on the planet Earth you hear me and you're just not experienc you're missing those you're experiencing this one fine good experience it but do not dare think that has more meaning than any other moment in creation does it does it have more meaning you think because you're experiencing it has more meaning than every other moment that's happening all throughout creation of

course you think it's more important but it isn't is it and now you've collected these moments and built a you you built a self-concept that's what you built that's how you handled the moments you picked this one and that one this one felt good this one felt bad this one I likeed this one I didn't this reminded me of what happened before there I liked it before therefore I like it now right or wrong every single thing I told you you you've been married you had divorced his name was Ben your girlfriend's hooking up with

somebody he look really neat oh my God you read everything on the web and so on what his name Ben no I've had enough B for my entire life you do say that that's absurd your Ben has nothing to do with that Ben but in knew it does it's got the BN name wake up that's what's going on so the Consciousness has been distracted by experiences that it couldn't handle but they're not all bad you can't handle the good experiences I love you don't leave don't talk to her you said you loved me I felt

so good when you hugged me why are you hugging her can you handle the good experiences or do you try to own them and cling to them and make them happen again and again it's true isn't it tell me the truth can you handle the good experiences no right cuz what it means to handle something is you're going to let it pass through I was beautiful thank you if it stays it stays another one if you make it stay who's to say there's not a nicer one how do you know I can't even imagine how

you decide who to marry are you telling me that before you married and you love this person very very much that you never loved anybody before all you know is I'm not okay and this makes me feel better I'm not okay and this makes me feel worse and guess which one I want the one that makes me feel better and guess which one I don't want the one that makes me feel worse I've just defined your life and that's sad considering you are all of creation expanding in all directions such it of n Eternal conscious

ecstasy that's who you are and you've locked yourself into this fish bowl and you said no this is who I am this scared little person that has to have things the way it wants in order to be okay otherwise it gets depressed and if things happen the way I want it gets all excited and then it gets disappointed you have this thing called The Human Experience anybody having one of those okay trouble is you're not human you are the Divine Consciousness the Eternal infinite Divine Consciousness focusing on you your thoughts your hopes your dreams your

concept your views your beliefs your desires your preferences it's just focusing and it's also Fus on years and years and years and years and years now let's go fight why because there's only one world out there who's going to get it the way they want it isn't that what's happening so don't ask why are there Wars you understand that's where word compassion comes in how do you have compassion about wars and evil people and terrible people do terrible things you understand why it is the way it is and only a very great being understands judge

not that she shall not be judged all right third then patriarch ending the burdensome practice of judging that is so deep it's scary but you do hear me don't you it is the way it is because everything we just talked about isn't it so you should basically get to the point of understanding okay that's what's going on here it is not going to change this this person gets elected because that happens or whatever heck it is is not even not even in the ballpark that's not the problem is it the problem is that your Consciousness

your awareness of being is addicted to staring at your thoughts your emotions your body and the little world that unfolded and is unfolding in front of you isn't it that's your entire universe but that is not your universe but that's what happens so the Consciousness gets distracted and then gets completely caught there it gets caught staring at this ramach Krishna called it this he would he wouldn't even say me he never used the word me I'm not going to focus on this this tiny little thing are you kidding me I told you once when yoganand

came to America in the 20s he ended up teaching at Carnegie hle he already spoke English when he first came over in the boat he practiced teaching and he ended up in carnegy hall with tens of thousands of people three four five times around the block waiting to get in and there's pictures of him with the whole sea of Americans in their 20s and 30s right there's this little Yogi with a turban on his head standing up top of the stage and somebody once asked him my God you must feel such Pride that you came

over here and you're able to teach these people and it's not word for word but what he basically said was no I don't feel any Pride at all when I'm teaching I'm there the lecturing is happening listen to me at the same time that I'm present with a lecture that's happening I'm on a higher plane with my Guru Shor teaching his higher disciples and and so on and at the same time my Consciousness is expanding the speed of light in all directions throughout the Universe all of this is happening simultaneously that's who you are a

little embarrassed that's not who he is that's who you are who else said that Christ as I sit by the Throne of my father that's a seat of consciousness so you shall sit by my throne and these things which I do you shall do these and even greater things in other words you're not who you think you are the trouble is now let's get to work the trouble is that's a pretty strong magnet that's pulling you down to the ego isn't it that's what ego is it is what you develop in your mind as a

sense of eye instead of who you are somebody once ask Yanda what is the ego he said the masquerading self my God they say with one line makes me hours what do you mean the masquerading self it is the self consciousness the expanded universe holding a mask in front of itself saying this is me I'm George and my mommy spanked me you built a mask out of your psyche and you're holding it in front of yourself and you can't get out we can talk nice all we want it's kind of nice it's nice to know

what's going on it's kind of encouraging isn't it okay but you can't get out Hey listen to me if left to your own that's going to run your life and you're going to build a little tiny life somewhere with somebody and say I had a nice life welcome back next time because you did not learn what you were meant to learn I mean I'm glad most people can't have a nice life I I really would like you to have a nice life I would rather rather have you find out who you are all right what

does that mean it means it doesn't mean you don't have a cat and a dog or a husband and a wife it does not mean that that's a total misnomer this whole thing about renunciation or anything like that in fact it's the opposite of that you need to be able to be in this world but not of it you need to be able to literally be married or not married have children or not children be rich or be poor and maintain your seat of consciousness because that's the purpose of creation God created creation to experience

aspects of himself somebody once says mayor Baba is he's saying to Mayor Baba why did God create creation on a whim same reason you play golf why in the world would you play golf you want the bow in the hole put it there you hear me it's a sport it's just expressing yourself why does an artist paint real artist right so basically you wake up and you're here you woke up and you realize there's a lot more going on than me getting what I want and avoiding what I don't want getting what you want is

so overrated it's ridiculous avoiding what you don't want is so overrated it's ridiculous because it basically means is I'm not okay and these are the things that I'm okay with and not okay with and that's really small isn't it it's so small that's not going to get you out so basically at some point something happens and I used to teach it can happen one or two ways either some terrible terrible terrible thing happens to you that just destroys you but you make it through and you have to build the pieces back up but Heck if

you're building them back up that way you understand that the other is you had some very deep experience meditation this that whatever it is and you touch something that was way way beyond what you've ever touched before and all it takes is one second and you'll never be the same the lid went up what was that all right and in both cases you become a Seeker you become someone that is looking for something deeper than what you want and what you don't want how shallow is it come on be serious why do you want what

you want I'll do it in two seconds why do you want what you want cuz things happened in your past that either turned you on that reminded you of that or turned you off and you don't want to deal with it it's just with it's just programming you're programmed by your past experiences and that determines what you like and what you don't like all this stuff all right it's just how shallow is that you could have had any experience you just happen to have that experience and it determined your life it's embarrassing you're the highest

species on the planet I always told the story that you know two kids are drive you know8 and 10 years old driving the back of their parents' station wagon down the highway had going on vacation and they're playing I spy right and they said the brother says I spy a bird and the girl looks up and thing and then they play in this and all of a sudden the uh the daughter says I spy a cactus and the kid turns and at that exact moment a terrible car accident had taking place and there's body blood

and different terrible things and he turns and drives by never says another word for rest of his life yes or no can it happen can it happen can he be traumatized what some random moment you're the highest Thing That Ever Walked the face of the Earth it's that random does something of that can happen it can can it shouldn't it shouldn't you're a high being Life Is Life it unfolded in front of so you're telling me that if he she hadn't said I by a cactus at that moment his entire life would be different shake

your head yes is that embarrassing you're the highest being to walked the face of the Earth in some random moment determin your entire life and it does doesn't it bunch of little ones a bunch of big ones next thing you know you're running around trying to get what you want and avoid what you don't want and I'm telling you what you want and what you don't want is 100% founded upon the garbage that you have stored inside from the past that you are unable to handle and you built this personality this psyche this ego the

self-concept and now whoa we're running around aren't we okay so what do you do about it have we talk about that one can you do anything absolutely the highest thing you can do about it that's what the Great on teach you harsh you b y all of them you're in there someone ask Yogananda how do I find God how do I find God he nonchalantly turned around and said he dwells right behind your every thought he dwells right behind your every thought what dwells right behind your every thought the awareness that was aware of the

thought do you ever have a single thought that you're not aware of if you have a thought it me you were aware of it oh my God I these terrible thoughts how do you know oh I have this beautiful thought how do you know this is not mystical you are in there experiencing your thoughts my heart's killing me how do you know since she said she Lov me I feel like I have wings sufy wings coming out of my heart how do you know how do you know you're in there aren't you that's it that's

the beginning and end of all teachings that's the deeper of all spirituality you who's in there aware of what you're aware of is the Divine Consciousness addicted to staring at the objects of Consciousness that you collected can I repeat that you is in there staring at what's going on in there and you are distracted by staring at I don't care what you want to call it are the Divine Consciousness addicted to focusing on those objects of consciousness minuscule remember the whole universe right they're all objects of Consciousness but those are kind of special ones to

you all right I told something some weeks ago that where it came from I don't know but it hit me really deep and I've said it a couple times I don't know if you get it during the day sunlight is everywhere scattered everywhere it's all over the place if I take a magnifying glass and just hold it somewhere or all of a sudden that light is focused down on something that could burn a piece of paper that's what your Consciousness is it is that everywhere Consciousness focused due to distraction that's the magnifying glass the ego

distraction Focus down on this tiny spot that's so powerful now and that's you and there's a whole bunch of them floating around little spots everywhere and they're all the same sunlight that's what's going on the question is how do you get out how do you free yourself how do you liberate yourself so many ways have been taught like the syas traditional syas in India renounce everything rounce your name rounce your family renounce your history walk around with a begging Bowl those are ways that are taught leave everything go up to the talas find some master

somewhere and just don't have anything and renounce everything thing get away from the objects of Consciousness so they stop distracting you how's that they say AAS won't stay in a single town for more than a day or two no matter what's happening they go somewhere else stay away from fixating on objects of Consciousness and over time if you're sincere your Consciousness will be Freer from that right we're not taught that I mean we're taught that but we don't do it that is not the way that we are taught today we are taught a phenomen the

really deep teachers teach us a phenomenal phenomenal method of Liberation what's it called life not avoid life not renounce life how would I know what to renounce that would you renounce I love I problem with it goes right through it's white lines in the road that which I have to renounce is struggle Ben oh my God I can't handle the name you don't even know what I'm talking about so the very fact that you have to renounce it means that's what you should be dealing with so you get to the point where you understand wait

a minute this is a tiny planet SP in the middle of nowhere so what and I will only be here for a few years so what what supposed to be able to do here be here you're supposed to be here it's where you are Zen flowers red water's blue grass is green that are teachings it is what it is why do you have a problem with it why don't you serve the red flowers why don't you help the Blue Water why don't you work with the green grass why is it not okay that flowers are

red and grass is green and borders blue if you were the same with every single thing that passes before you as you are with the white lines what do we do with the white lines well let's see if there're solid you don't pass them if they're dashed you can pass them if they're dashed on your side but not on the other side it's like just come on man be here now just be here I can't why CU I can't handle here why can't you handle here I can't handle here can can I I can't handle

here I have to change here so it's what I can handle I have to change here the current moment and the past moment how many you want to change the past how many wish the past never happened how many think it was wrong it was wrong it shouldn't have happened I can't handle the past I can't handle the present therefore I'm scared to death the future so I am going to go out there and manipulate and control the red flowers the Green Grass and the Blue Water that's what sin means by those RN I okay

how's your relationship going it's a work in process whates that mean I'm trying to change them to be the way I want them to be are you or are you not I'm attempting to manipulate the moments that unfold in front of you so they're the way you want them to be okay so what does it mean to grow spiritually it means to be honest and just notice I'm the one who's noticing sometimes it's so strong that I'm not noticing I get pulled into what I was noticing but I come back I kind of float back

and sometimes I don't want to float back I don't like it I don't want to do that I I don't believe in it anymore I can't handle being here seeing what I'm seeing so your first task in true spiritual growth is I can handle seeing what I'm seeing why because it's what I'm seeing and if I don't honestly cop to what's going on in here it's going to run my life right or wrong it's going to determine I'm right but I'm right you shouldn't have said that say you're sorry as opposed to whoa she had

trouble with that didn't she it's called Witness Consciousness that's what you guys are taught in this day and age in that generation Krishna M called it objective observation the ability to be in there how do I know I'm in the clearest State you don't you only know you're in the clearest state that you're capable of being in at that moment and that is fine don't you dare try to make something else up this is what I see my heart hurts and every single thing inside of me wants to blame you this is what I see

being around you really really turns me on it's I just feel so much shocked it feels such beauty I want to be with you for the rest of my life don't go anywhere else do you love me do you love me do you mean it okay it's embarrassing isn't it but do you notice someone notices don't they you don't want to notice you want to get down in there and make it be the way you want that's the struggle that's the struggle your struggle is not with life your struggles with the fact that you are

being pulled down into what you want and what you don't want which is fine that's your growth it it's not like I know I want this so I'm going to avoid it maybe you have to do that but it's like is I know I want this now I can see through that I just see it's just like anything else it's all life it's all the same I was the one that was making it different it's all the same it's like a great being loves everybody everything all it's all the same God loves everything the same

so you eventually get to the point where you understand what it's about is being done not avoiding not getting not hiding being done how do you be done youd be willing to the best of your ability a mantra whatever you want I don't care I always say I don't teach techniques and people say what you're teaching is a technique well of course it is it's the highest technique it's called letting go do you see that there's stuff inside of you that you have trouble with that's what's keeping you from God not that it's wrong or

anything it's because it is drawing your Consciousness down to it if you have trouble with it it distracts you if you don't have trouble with it it doesn't distract you have you ever grown in your entire life where something used to disturb you and now it doesn't have you grown to see that that which used to bother you you used to be jealous you used to be insecure you used to be scared the people going to say things and just somehow over time you matured you grew and it's just yeah into every life some Rain

Must Fall and you mean it and you're not afraid of it and you welcome the rain to fall and you GR in the sun to shine and you're starting to find beauty in all of it that is spiritual growth that's what it means to evolve spiritually that you can handle the moments that unfold in front of you because what they bring up inside of you you have learn to be comfortable with period all right in the living on T I teach you the heart is not meant to be a given way at a funeral it's

not supposed to be dancing and playing butterflies all right it's supposed to be playing Chan's funeral March that's what he captured it's like you feel it you hear me that's what the heart feels he didn't write that the heart wrote that he wrote it down but yet at a wedding or at a birth the rights of spring is playing that's your heart that's what it's supposed to do that's why you have one it's not supposed to be one way it's supposed to be in harmony with the unfolding of life it's the score of a movie

in in cinema school they play you a movie with no score it's dead I don't care what the movie is add the score to it all of a sudden there's emotion there's Rich that's what your heart is it's a gift Do not sit there and sag and only handle my heart was this way okay which is how you are what you learn is to say life is going to unfold it is going to teach me what I'm comfortable with and what I'm not comfortable with and both are equally as important and what I'm going to

do in here to the best of my ability which is not perfect in any way shape or form is remain as conscious as I can when these different things happen that tell me no no yes no and relax things are not going to be the way you want they are going to be the way they are the question is is that okay with you are you comfortable are you done here what happens when you're on your deathbed most people are grabbing and clinging I don't want to leave this what about my family what I this

oh my God I didn't finish that and I didn't get this name all right a great master byebye all right I told I used to tell the story that when you get up to St Peter right he's got the book and all the kind of stuff right you think he's writing the book what you did wrong and all that kind of stuff right when you get up there he says did you have fun he said I supposed to have fun back you got to experience God's creation there was nothing now there's flowers and plants and

good people and bad people and every single thing that could possibly exist you're experiencing God every single thing that exists is the expression of the Divine where else would it come from it came out of nothing do you love it do you respect it do you honor it do you cherish it do you worship it there that's where a master is hear me okay now we'll close let's say I do what do I do with these amazing moments that don't need to be but they are in front of me you serve them you love them

you dance with them you see if there's something you can do to interact with God you're interacting with God Mother Teresa used to go to the leopards where nobody else would want to go she loved it she ran to be there that's where she wanted to be Christ said when I was in prison you came to visit me he didn't say you reviled me you hang me you came to visit me have a St francis's prayer where the sickness let me find Health where the sadness Liv bring joy you're now here interacting with God not

with what you want and what you don't want and what you like and what you don't like you're just here and the Miracle of creation is unfolding in front of you no matter what it is it's part of creation isn't it and you're looking with all your heart to see how can I serve how can I help I told you and I'll stop hard to stop the highest life you can live is that every moment that pass before you is better off because it did are the moments that are passing before you raised because they

pass through your beauty through your openness through your compassion through your love not through what you wanted what you don't want etc etc that's why you're here and the purpose of this year around the Sun is to just evolve a little bit more I said I would stop but I'll stop with a sentence you want not on your own you don't walk this fast by yourself every master that ever lived Christ Buddha Krishna and all the Masters are right there looking for an opening to help you someday you will know that you understand that okay
