Michael Singer - How Not to Close

G GIS eventually if you truly do your work and let go of all the noise inside you will come to realize for yourself there's only one energy in there Yogi is called shaki people think the word Shakti is the same as Chi same as Spirit same as Prana chuti runs from the bottom to the top it's like if I say electromagnetic spectrum it includes visible light and infrared and UltraViolet that's just getting down to specifics of how the Spectrum manifests at different vibrations shockd is like the electromagnetic spectrum it reaches from the lowest to the

highest vibration and at one level it's Prana CU it's in the body flowing at another level it's G as it's flowing through the acupuncture system really the word Spirit the way should be used the way Christ used it is the same as Shakti it runs from the lowest to the highest level now what does that mean there's only one energy in here I have people tell me I don't have any energy in here really really you experience it every single moment of your life it is not a question of belief everything what is anger that's

fite energy isn't it what is that energy the exact same energy all right when you feel deep deep peace it's the same energy when you feel passionate about the work you're doing and you can't wait to get to work you're so inspired same energy it's all the same energy it's just flowing differently due to different blockages or openings in your system I left off the love what is love have you ever felt love well out of your heart swell up so much that it feels like your heart's going to burst yes or no have you

ever felt it Go Out and Touch another person's heart just literally that connection shuy shocky shocky shocky shy that's all it is you give it different names it's hilarious it's all the same energy it's just manifesting different ways because of different blockages or openings that you happen to have so the question becomes what do I want to do with my life I know what you want to do with your life I know you want to feel shocky and I know you want to feel it flowing in the highest manifestation is capable of flowing you would

rather feel love than anger what is Darkness depression a lack of shaky that's all it is what is Darkness a lack of light light is not a lack of Darkness right darkness is a lack of light depression low energies are blocked shocky so you don't experience it it's not that it's not there I keep telling you the Colorado River sits right behind the Hoover Dam all the time it's right there it didn't stop being there just because you blocked it on the other side of the block you don't see anything that's the same thing with

your depressed States or low energy we call them depressed depressed energy low energy I'm feeling down I'm feeling low I'm feeling blocked you are I'm feeling open you are every word you use is because you're just describing the shaki in different manifestations but it's exact same energy same energy that's it it's just a question at what level it's manifesting but the main thing I'm telling you is you know it's there everybody experiences it but they don't they're not paying attention they're so they have we get caught you know that certain things outside cause the energy

to flow better inside it gets me high I'm happy in her presence I love being with her this type of music really turns me on that type of music turns me off you use it all the time it's so amazing your words you might as well say the shocky flows well when this happens and it doesn't flow well when that happens so you don't pay attention to the energy flow you're too caught on the outside you're caught on the stimulus that makes the change inside so the energy flows differently so if you're around somebody that

you like that you feel safe that you're comfortable with etc etc then in the presence of that person you open it's not anything different it's not that person it's that you open if you didn't open around that person you wouldn't say you love them and I'm going to tell you because I'm not a romanticist has nothing to do with that person it has to do with you why do you open around one person and she opens around another and why do you open around one person at 2: in the afternoon and close at 4:00 at

the same person and I meant 4 seconds later right or wrong you don't even understand why you don't understand what's happening yoga understands all of this it is a science of shaki that's what yoga is the science of shaki period from its lowest to its highest level so when I say to you you like shaki you love shaky you live for Shakti you just don't understand what what you're doing so you see that this person this music this form of art this job the way somebody's talking to you whatever it is brings about a good

you say I feel good that means shaki is flowing when it's flowing you feel good it's just a question of how much it's flowing as to what you say if it's really flowing you say oh my God it's just blew B me away a it's beautiful I like it all together that's exactly what it did it blew you away who you who is in the way it blew who he was in the way out of the way and all of a sudden oh my God it Bliss me out it blew me away you like that

don't you okay well anything can do that an animal that you love you see the do come running up all of a sudden your bad day ain't so bad okay if you're into cars or you know Ferrari or a really neat looking fine car it can blow you away a person a woman can blow you a man can blow you away music can blow you away a house can blow you away if you're an architect the refrigerator can blow you away if that's what you're into all right a blender with 16 buttons that wow look

at right wrong okay depending on what you're into somebody else looks at that blender says what a waste of money to just have one button it works fine somebody else look at what a marvelous technology I just feel so amazing even to look look at it it's you it's not the blender it's not the car it's not the woman it's not the man it's not the compliment it it look if somebody comes up to you and says oh my God I love you so much I've loved you ever since I saw you I just so

I was so shy to tell you since we're in kindergarten like you walk on water for me how does it make you feel careful what if your spouse is standing right next to you when they say it that neat let's pay attention it's you it's not the words it's not the music it's not the thing it's you it's all you but you don't know that and people on a spiritual path know it and I want you to be there so therefore they say I know what I feel and I know that in the presence of

this thing I feel good in the presence of that thing I don't feel good if I have these thoughts I feel good I think I'm going to win I I think I'll get that job I'll get the corner office I just got work a little bit more right you feel good you feel inspired all right I'll never get that I'll never I know he'll never get to me he don't even like me oh my God now you feel depressed now you feel down you did that your thoughts did that it's all a question of what

we call opening and closing if you open what does that mean you allow the structure to flow it's just exactly the same as blinds on a window I tell you a secret I know you don't know this but I'm your teacher if you put the blinds down and close them it gets dark if you lift them up it gets light a't that miraculous same thing inside of you if you lift up what's closing you you feel the energy because it was blocking the energy just like the blinds block the light but you don't pay attention

to the fact that you put the blinds there you determine when they open you determine when they close you're just interested in being around things that open them by himself I feel much better if have a drink after work fine I understand or anything everything I'm not picking on anything it has nothing to do with the outside the problem is you think it does you don't pay attention to what's happening is inside of you you only pay attention to what makes it happen inside of you but I keep teaching you the only one in there

there's nobody else in there there are lots of people out here lots of competition out here lots of things out here that you need to manipulate and control to find out what will cause you to open and then find out how to get it and find how to keep it and you're very busy with that and you don't pay attention that every single thing is going on inside of you any good feeling you ever felt you felt inside where do you feel love where do you feel love where do you feel passion where do you

feel inspiration inside it's a rush up thing inside then you express it outside but you express what's inside outside you don't express the outside inside all right but the outside is not causing you to feel Joy pain and not causing you to be in love and so on what it's doing is stimulating your opening it's a cataly a stimulus so certain things outside open you other things outside close you other things don't do anything guess how you are about the things that open you I want it guess how you about the things that close you

I don't want it guess how you about the things that don't do anything who cares it's that simple so the question is do you want to spend the rest of your life which everybody does everyone ever walk to the face of the earth except for a handful trying to find what will open you and trying to get it and trying to find what closes you and try to make sure you don't get it and I'm going to devote my life to that as opposed to wait a minute if I'm doing it it's happening inside of

me I'm opening and closing why don't I learn how to raise the blinds myself a better question why did I put him down if I like the energy flow so much and you do everything you do is the energy flow if I like it so much why am I doing things to make it stop I love you we're having a wonderful conversation I'm feeling tremendous love and then you say something that sounded like my mother I don't get along with my mother or my sister what happens now closes who did that did the girl person

out there talking to me do that no they don't know what they did they don't have any idea with my own business loving you right but they said it in a way I should just send you home right you have to want to open you have to want to grow it's not what you're supposed to be doing I'm telling you it's what you want like people say spirituality is about renunciation it is not about renunciation it is not renunciation if you're sitting there eating food that's make you sick as a dog every single time you

eat it and I give you food that makes you feel really good and you really like it are you renouncing the other food no it falls off why would I be interested in it it made me sick okay it's exact same thing you don't renounce the outside you just understand that what you wanted was inside and you learn how to get it inside doesn't mean you don't interact with the outside I told you like I have to say this right in the beginning otherwi you're Clos it's not that you do not interact with the outside

it's not that you don't get married it's not that you don't do this not that you don't hate that it has nothing to do with that it's that you interact because you're already okay and you're expressing your okayness not you're interacting outside because you're not okay and you're trying to find things that will make you be okay and then trying to keep them that's a whole different life you're going out there to get shocky the other way you're full of shocky and you're expressing it and sharing it so there's no definition of what's supposed to

be happening outside so you're not renouncing the world you're letting go of the stupidity that you're doing inside to close yourself from what you really want which the flow of the energy how would you like to wake up in the morning filled with joy and go through your entire day so filled with bliss doesn't make any difference what happens and everybody you see you love them you they hate you there's a person who hates me he so cute when you hear when he comes and talk you're going really diss me whoa come on come quick

would you like to be like that why not you can be here might have fun all right but you can't be like that why because it closes you you can't be like that cuz that opens you and you think that's the secret of life everybody does let's attract to ourselves that which opens us H I wouldn't do it in a million years why you get dependent on it you basically now said I attracted a person place or thing that I think it makes me happy not holds me open makes me happy I better keep them

they better not talk to somebody else that's for possessiveness and jealousy and insecurity all that junk comes from anybody got any of that that's because you think that you attracted to yourself that which you need in order to be happy the yogi would never do that that is not spirituality spirituality is why am I not happy to start with why do I need something to open me when I'm the one who's closing me that's what you're going to find out nothing is in there that will close you except you why because you're the only one

in there every single thing that's going on inside you did in your past or you're doing in your present you stored stuff inside of you that closes you you know that psychology teaches you that I I respect psychology it's wonderful psychology teaches you not to suppress really there with Freud and all the way through suppression is a really bad thing they're right suppression is a terrible thing it's the worst thing you can do with the energy inside of you is push it down and suppress that's what causes your blockages those no it's not what causes

your blockage those are your blockages the cement that makes the Hoover Dam is the blockage to the Colorado River the stuff that you held inside of you that you couldn't handle from the past whether you suppressed it repressed it or just resisted it I don't care the degree makes no difference to me it's still in there you still held it in there that is What's blocking your shock nothing else that's what's blocking your shock it's like putting rocks in a stream it can't flow and if it flows it's all currents and edies and and disturbance

that's what's going on inside of you and that's why it's going on inside of you and you did it now psychology which I respect very much all right because most people are depressed most people are suppressed so much that they can't even feel anything nice in their life okay so psychology teaches you don't suppress but they use the word cope yes these things happen yes you went through this terrible thing yes your girlfriend left you yes your mommy did this yes yes yes yes yes but it happened you have to learn to cope with that

okay well it's only so high you're going to get coping do you understand that I'm going to feed you food that you really don't like like just learn to handle it you cannot throw up come on you can do better than that all right that's what coping is live with it so on yoga does not teach that yoga says there's not a reason in the world that that stuff is in there except that you're holding it in there there is no superglue in there there's nothing in there nothing that can hold that energy inside of

you except you your will that's what yoga teaches you if it's true that I'm holding it in there I don't have to do do that maybe right now you're not ready I understand that that's fine don't think you're supposed to do this all at once cuz you're not you can't you're not that's all but you can learn to you can work with it and you can learn that I'm holding it in there and the stuff I'm holding in there is blocking me and that's why I have moods that's why I don't feel love all the

time that's why I Feel Love and then 4 seconds later somebody says something I don't feel love I get married it's wonderful and I wake up in the morning oh my God I should have been more sure sh you all know what I'm talking about is real you're a maniac you're crazy you're weird is that was not nice in there okay it's crazy in there you would never I I always asked you right I tell what I'm going to do I have this very special stethoscope that I can stick into your ear and every word

that the voice inside your head is saying gets put on the Time Square broadcast in New York which one you want to try it out not one of you would put that thing in there are you kidding me if every thought that went through your head was public and showed up around there you can't even handle your own thoughts you can't feel guilty and embarrassed and know why do I think that all right that which you stored inside of you from the past and past includes a moment ago is the past somebody said something some

didn't say something you walk away weird right or wrong it happens all the time I'm talking about your everyday moment experience from moment to moment you're so sensitive it just gets different in there doesn't it that's because you store all the stuff in there you stuck the garbage that you couldn't handle you stuck inside yourself and now you're trying to be okay you're trying to build a decent house on top right or wrong find people that don't hit it wrong that respect you you know I don't like when you talk like that right what are

you doing don't step on the Soft Stuff don't step on the soft spots and so basically you did this you did this you did this you're doing this and so on and to you you mean Humanity not personal to you the answer answer is create an outside that I can be relatively okay most of the time at least some of the time let's say all right that behaves in a way that when it comes in it doesn't disturb me or maybe makes me feel good some and that's the best you can do that's not the

best you can do in my opinion it's the worst you can do you have to go out there and fight and struggle and watch what you're wearing and if your breath smells or anything in the million years and how many things you worry about you might get rejected you might not be accepted person that loves you might stop loving you because you said something stupid or maybe because they're dancing with somebody who's prettier you think is prettier than you are more hands come on you want to live like that I don't you really want to

live like that struggle your whole life to try and be okay when I know for a fact you're the highest being to walk the face of the Earth that shock is your food that shocky feeds every second of your being but you are blocking it with the stuff you stored in there and so now when the shock tries to flow and it's always trying to flow always what Yogi comes to know it is always trying to come up and when it comes up depending on how high it goes that's some high stuff I generally talk

about it makes it into the heart and you feel love it's Beauty then it actually makes it to the higher heart and all you feel is love not conditional right but there's States Way Beyond that the fourth chakra is the fourth out of seven and some people there's higher chakras but don't worry about them within the body seven chakras and they High and the fourth is not very high you think it's the greatest thing in the whole world to feel love don't you oh my God no doubt when any was mind loves the finest thing

around James Taylor right it's like no it's not I'm sorry James it's a nice thing it's not even close to the highest thing around there's States way past that and then I meet the youth I mean imagine being blown away by love it's just oh my God that's nothing that's Child's Play that's like the beginning of your spiritual journey that you made it past yourself enough to feel openness towards somebody else to where the love can flow all right wait did you get to the high centers they just my God like yog someone say yoga

that's yog's lineage there's four pictures that there his Guru his gurus Guru so on somebody once asked them do they not sleep why are the eyes are all half open their eyes not half open because they sleep rise a half of because they're so filled with ecstasy that they can't come out when you're in love and you're hugging your beloved are your eyes open or closed why I thought you love the guy or the gal don't you want to look at them I can't I'm pulled so much into The Love Inside that my eyes w't

even open I just right there there are states where you walk around like that totally totally filled with peace and love and God constantly flowing inside of you every one of you that's who you are and you're living with coping with what this world can do to you or for you right it can't do anything to you and it can't do anything for you you're doing it to yourself that's why every single one of us like different things and dislike different things and why you like different things one day and not another right your your

blockages shift it doesn't take anything understand that so if you want to understand shaki first understand it is what you want it is not what somebody tells you you should want I like in the Old Testament my favorite thing used to be right thou shallal love the Lord thy God with all th heart with all th soul and all their mind all right that's actually what's inside the muza and and that when you kiss it when you walk into the home right and around the neck that's what's inside there that that out out of the

Old Testament out of the Torah Thou shalt love the Lord th God with all th heart with all th soul with all their mind and maybe you know the rest of it I know a little bit but in any event all right the funny part about it is you do God is the shocky flowing inside of you how much do you like love do you love love how you like being high how you like just blown away and Inspire then you love God because that's what it is that is the spirit flowing inside of you

but we project it on what caused it instead of understanding that what's happening is I'm closed but this thing helps me open or I'm open and this thing brings me down so I'm doing it and so that's you do what's called your inner work we're all busy with the outer work we don't know we're trying to get shocked we're trying to get shocked because of the situation outside somebody hugs you kisses you you have some beautiful day Beau anything everything I don't care what it is walk outside in a starry night you everever feel good

that shocky it's just that you opened if the truth of the matter is you used to go out with your beloved center of the stars and she left you yesterday you do not like walking out there seeing those Stars it does not open you anymore does it wake up it's not the thing it's you so you have a choice in your life either you go outside and continue thinking it's outside and I have to make a certain life and do a certain thing and manipulate either I have to do that in order to be okay

or I wake up you can be awake you can wake up and realize wait a minute I'm closing myself and then expecting somebody else to open me I'm closing myself and expecting the weather to open me everything in the entire thing that's it so you've eventually become on a spiritual journey which is I think my work is inside in ceasing to build these blockages that are keeping me from what I want more than anything in the whole universe call it God call it shaki call it high I don't care what you want to call it

it's all the same thing it's an unblocked flow of energy that sometimes you feel because it's outter situation I'm telling you you can get to the point you feel it all the time all the time every second every moment it's just tell you what does your voice inside your head does does it talk a lot all the time telling you what you need what you don't need what you should do what you didn't do right how about that amount of the time is how the shaki flows inside of you and the voice can't even somebody

was ask does the voice stop who cares if you're not distracted by it if it's not bothering you if it's not affecting the flow of the Shakti first it has no reason to be talking as much and if it blabbers or says things it doesn't matter right utor said an ignored guest quickly leaves so get that straight every one of you are capable of reaching these states you just have to understand instead of trying to get something outside that opens me I need to stop closing I need to stop building block ages inside of me

that make it so I have to do something outside some has to have an outside to get me back open no unacceptable so it's not renunciation it's intelligence you're just wise enough to realize I'm blocking myself and then I'm trying to have everybody else open me like there are people so they write me a lot right they say I've never felt worthy of love I know what's wrong with me my parents whatever it was I just never felt worthy of love and if I meet somebody and they say they love me I don't believe them

I I just just don't believe I just don't feel worthy of Love okay so I want you to go inside and tell yourself that you're not worthy of love all right and then try to find somebody who makes you feel love anyways Wella that's quite an obstacle race isn't it why are you doing that you shouldn't be trying to find somebody that overcomes the fact that you're in there telling yourself I'm not worthy of love you should stop telling yourself that and then everything will make you feel love this work is inside your entire life's

work is removing the blockages that stand between you and God to me that's the funniest one I'm going to fill myself with blockers you shouldn't have done that you shouldn't do that she shouldn't have done that this isn't right that's not right I'm all blocked I can't handle the world and so on but I want to find God no you just told God to get away from you because God is the flow of Shak that's what that is and that's what's going to take you there so the answer is wake up stop closing yourself learn

to open yourself and the world will always open you it will be fine all right so now the question becomes how do I do that first I'm telling you the reason I spent so much time talking about why you want to do it is that is more important than any technique you will ever be taught I don't care who teaches it to you I don't care what Guru you go gurus I can talk about it I don't care what Guru you go to I don't care what sh put you get I don't care anything more

important than all of that is that you have learned that you want to grow that you want to let go of yourself that it's not about the outside okay that intent and that inner inspiration to work with yourself is way more important than how you're working with yourself somebody give you the best technique work for everybody else and work for you unless you want to do it unless you work with it so how does one work with themselves it's easy to understand not easy to do easy to understand we just said the reason you don't

feel the shocky which you love understand that that's what you love that's what if you eat good all right I'm going to give you the best dinner you ever had exactly the kind you want cooked by the finest Chef that ever existed have you ever put food in your mouth that melted you have you ever smelled something that melted you that's because you're open right and the shock you can have a spiritual experience eating something have a spiritual experience listening to music spiritual experience anything anything the sunset people say oh my God I felt I

was in the presence of God you were cuz you got out of the way please understand every single high and beauty and love you've ever had is shocky is God that is what's in there you opened so if it's true that certain things can open you otherwise you're closed you're the one who closed when you see that beautiful sunset and opens you and you're just blown away then you drive down the street a little bit and you start thinking about your mortgage think about this and think about the kids and thinking about the driver in

front of you and your clothes it doesn't last does it how long does it last that experience you did it you closed yourself so the answer as to how to be high how to have a beautiful life how to get closer to God I don't care what you call it's all the same right is stop closing that's the answer there that's the highest technique stop closing when you're open do you feel love do you like it do you like it when you're open then why do you close so here's the highest technique don't close how

do I do that you should tell me you're the one who's doing it just look at the act of this is amazing how real this is don't try to be open you don't know how to do that try to not close because you're very good at that you're very good at closing you do it all the time you find tons of reasons to close don't you oh my God I got to drop on my pants and I got to go back to work oh my God it's going to rain and I don't want to go

out in the rain I want get wet oh my God the sun's hot oh my God he didn't say hello to me he said hello to her does he like her better you just every single second you find reasons to close then your spiritual path is about paying attention inside to how you close just watch notice how often you close there are going to be times that you're open there something happens that opens you don't renounce that's wonderful I'm glad glad now I want to see how long it lasts even in meditation you go deep

in meditation what happens when you come out how long does it take how long does it take all the peace and beauty and love is a gone before you're busy one phone call one thing you understand that watch watch yourself close that's witness Consciousness don't do anything about it just watch yourself close and you're going to freak out you s to say oh my God I had no idea how neurotic I am I am always complaining always neurotic always being afraid always Bing always everything then those are closing those are acts of closing how do

I know they take away the shock it don't they I love you so much I've never let you say oh my God they love me it's so beautiful yeah but will you love me tomorrow now that is an erotic person How Can You Feel Love if you're thinking like that so you notice you're doing it I want you first I want you to see the truth of these teachings they're not comp complicated you're in there closing yourself but I showed you what you really want is to be open because that's the beauty that you feel

then stop closing yourself how notice what you're doing and stop doing it I'm not going to tell you how you're the one who's in there I'll give you Clues but you're in there willfully closing yourself now you understand that means you're not going to feel the shocky the more you close yourself the less shocky you feel period and everything that you can't handle that you store inside of you is a buildup of things that block the shock to flow so you start with this you don't start with those you can't do those they're too big

see I'm a nice guy you can't know you terrible you left home and the sister did this and that happened you had a sickness whatever happened you mugged in New York okay things happen don't they how did you handle them terribly why how do you know cuz you're human that's that's what you mean when you say I'm only human I'm going to do a terrible job of handling everything I'm only is that what it means I'm only human I'm going to screw it up really good right the trouble is you're not only human you're the

Divine Consciousness watching a human and it is your will that is making these determinations so every single thing that you couldn't handle that you pushed away because you couldn't handle it is What's blocking the flow of your shocky okay so what do I do you can't go to those things those big things you store down there half your life or whatever major things and all of a sudden because we had a talk oh okay I we do it because it's not going to happen it's not going to happen and don't feel bad about it and

don't be scared here I'm being nice tonight don't worry about it's not going to happen well what do I do your first step stop putting more in if you're going to put more in you're not going to be taken out the big ones if you're going to be bothered by the weather and be bothered by somebody said or be bothered by you know how somebody's driving in front of you just all the examples I always give you these stupid little things that bother you all the time and you're going to put them in there and

talk about them and complain about them and tell you're when you get home at night you see what happened to me today right blah blah blah blah blah if you can't handle those and not put more in you're not going to get the other ones out it's it's a what call a lifeo stack for those you study economics last in first out last in first out the ones you put on top of the old ones keep it from coming up they keep it from cleansing up so your first step is you commit yourself to making

I want you to make a game I don't want this to be a struggle a struggle is what you've already done you made your whole life of struggle you can't feel Joy and love unless certain things happen it's a struggle this is a game this is fun there a video game it's a sport you're in there playing so basically you're in there working with yourself and you see that I'm closing I see I'm doing this and start with the simple things and then basically don't do it what does that mean and you know there's a

whole whole expression you can lead a horse to the water but you can't make him drink how close can I get to telling you you see what you're doing don't you you see you're doing it you see your tendency to resist and struggle with the stupidest little things in the world right don't do it but if I say that okay we'll get a little closer how do I not do it but you how silly that is talking to me like that all right okay don't slap the kids how that's the stupidest question I ever heard

don't pick your hand up and don't swing it toward the kid that's as simple as that that's how you don't hit the kid okay but no you need more right like you can't do that you're drive your impulse your anger your frustration is too big and so all of a sudden the hands moving that's what we're talking about here I'm telling you don't close watch yourself close watch the dis the disturbing energy it causes by about resisting it's all about resisting you close because you're resisting something closing why do you close why do you close

for the same reason if somebody takes a swing at me I throw my arms up to protect myself I close to protect myself do you understand that that's the only reason you close I feel threatened I feel scared I need to protect myself whether it be outside or inside you protect yourself inside too you understand that somebody says something your words can't hurt you all right but they do because they hurt your ego they come in and they cause disturbance inside so you're protecting yourself by closing you're stopping the energy from coming in I talked

about this yesterday the energy comes in passes through and then the next moment comes in passes through now you're in harmony with life you're open you're clean but some things you can't do that about they don't feel good or so you push them away that's closing the act of resistance is closing the Boer dam is resisting the Colorado River you understand that okay that's serious concrete resisting the force of the Colorado River you are resisting the flow of life as it comes in through you and the things you resist you push away that is an

act of closing those Energies every one of them every single thing you resist the tiniest thing you resist hit the mosquito it's not worth closing over and so you start working with yourself to understand that closing is happens because you're protecting yourself you think you need to protect yourself from an energy that comes in all right you're talking to somebody and you don't like what they said you protect yourself and shove it back out you closed and you'll justify it till you die why because you think you have to protect yourself you think you're being

attacked I don't know how I know you you know you're in there it's your work so you start by saying if I don't resist I won't close that's a real clue all right because you know what resistance means you need to apply will to push it away if you don't do that you won't close and that's where the teachings of relax and release come in instead of resisting relax they said can leave the horse can't make them drink I'm getting right close to making you drink you understand that we're getting right down the dirty level

that you work with yourself you feel resistance what do I do about it relax and I always tell you people write me all the time they think I mean get the thing you're resisting to relax get the thing you're resisting to stop challenging you all right that's not what it means it means you're the the one who's resisting relax the one who's resisting don't try to relax what you're resisting because then you're not accepting it you're trying you're trying to change it so you can handle it no relax ooh there that's hard that's hard for

you guys that the moment you start to feel this reaction they say what do I do about this relax you see how unnatural that is it's unnatural here your tendency is to resist you're not going to go anywhere if you do that you're going to close guarantee you have somebody say something to you and feel this resistance that's not going to be a nice conversation is it because you can't handle what somebody's saying or at least the way you're taking what they're saying or anything like that instead relax right there right on the battlefield right

exactly when it's happening relax your shoulders relax do the opposite of what the tendency is to resist and you won't close you gave it the room at least partially to passed through you didn't put the wall up that caused it to to there that alone even with the tiniest things in your life will change your life I told you people write us all the time you changed my life it's changed my life it's nice I'm really glad I love you you're from wherever all over the world but no you did it you changed your life

you stopped you stopped eating food that makes you sick and you thank somebody for fixing you even the I'm telling you even the smallest amount that you do this will change your life I don't to be the big things just the the traffic lights you caught a traffic light or the D in front of you or the weather or the Sun or the somebody I'm telling you the people talk to you and you take it wrong there everything all the time you do this all the time relax your life will change two things will happen

one you will not be putting more more on top of your stuff I want when the day is over that you feel you made it through the day re not perfect that nothing's perfect reasonably you made it through the day without taking on more stuff and if you do that over time I guarantee you you're going to get attacked by the stuff that was in there from before so don't tell me I was feeling good I thought this was wonderful it's so easy right I feel so high having so much fun right then what I

don't know I got so scared I used to be comfortable around people because I was at least manipulated now I feel uncomfortable around people and my heart hurts for no reason good good I'm so glad to hear that that means you're growing that means the stuff that's been down there your whole life that you've done everything you can to avoid you now can't avoid why because you stop pushing it further down with all the stuff and so now it starts to come up naturally that's what it should do you want it to to you understand

that you want it to you want this and so what do you do relax I could relax around the little thing that I I not doing so good with mommy or daddy or sister or brother or first wife or the second or third or fourth wife I bet you had a lot of them okay it's why everything happens the way it does so you're going to start letting go and then the stuff's going to start coming up and that's the middle part of your path and some people say is the hardest part of the path

for you to start to catch on wait a minute this was difficult this one was more difficult it took a while and my heart hurt and I just I don't know I I was happy and I don't feel so happy now sit through what do you mean let go I can't yes you can all you have to do is do your best nothing is ever asked of you except your best there's no goal that somebody else did it better or anything like that if you're sincere and you want this stuff out and you're willing to

do your best to relax around it it will happen and you will get more help than you ever could imagine you won't see the help until you look back you say I couldn't have made this through that without god without Guru without help right you're going realize you're not walking this path alone the moment you're willing to really let go that's your intent things change tremendously and so then what's going to happen is you're going to make it through one of them one that has always been I love when you say but I've always been

that way that's an excuse for being that way that's the reason you need to change it look at what your life is like because you've always been that way right and so you sit there and say I'm willing I'm willing I'm willing I can just do the best I can and just keep letting go that's why now we're talking about the deeper more traditional spiritual techniques right why would one do Mantra because while this stuff is coming up you better be doing something or it's going to pull you into it and and so while this

stuff is coming up you learn to just own r g God whatever all right I told you it's a good American Mantra right is I can handle this I can handle this right how would you like to be all the time inside saying I can handle this that's a wonderful thing to say instead of I can't handle this I can't do this I can't do this anymore and so now you let your Consciousness not get absorbed in the process of purifying the garbage that's in there and you have another place to put your consciousness the

Mantra so you relax you release you try whatever techniques yoga meditation Mantra and I'm telling you what we're getting to is one of them will make it through one big one will make it through most people quit before that but you won't and basically you let go of the first big one wait till you see what happens your whole life changed now your life changes why avoiding that was the foundation of your life you built your life around don't talk to me like that around I not going to be treated like this around whatever the

heck it is that Mommy and Daddy and everybody else put in there all right that you put in there you let that go all of a sudden you can breathe people say that to me I I haven't breathed since I was little I swear I didn't realize it I haven't breathed fully since I was 6 years old that's right cuz that's when you shove the stuff down there now you let it go and everything changes that's one how many you got down there and all of a sudden at some point you get excited to say

I can do this what's it going to be like if I let the next one go and the next one and the next one oh my God and you start becoming a Letting Go machine why for the same reason you seek relationship for the same reason you seek money same reason you seek intimacy for the same reason you seek good food because it makes your shocky flow you realize this makes my shocky flow way more like way more all right by removing the blockages your shocky flow you don't need to get it Second Hand by

somebody doing something to help you remove your blockages it's all of a sudden free in there you see it now we're starting to get high aren't we trying to let go does that mean you renounce the world there's no reason to want the world enough to renounce it right you only renounce things that you think will make you happy and you will do them which I think is pretty stupid I think that this will make me a wonderful life but I love God so I'm going to renounce this well let me say you will not

love God very much for very long you understand that because it's taking away your joy the true life is about the fact I am now feeling God inside I'm feeling love inside thank you it's a gratitude not a renunciation and the rest falls off why because you don't need it you needed it because it was helping you open now you're not closed so people talk to me like letting go preferences no no preferences fall off by themselves when you start to feel Joy inside you don't rip them away and renounce them just work on the

Joy inside and you're going to find out you're not looking for things outside anymore why because you already found it the only thing the outside was giving you was what you found inside and now you let go more and you let go more it becomes a natural process and then all of a sudden you thought you were doing well and a whole another state happens to where the shuy goes up higher and pulls you back and in and beckons you like I don't you don't understand at first what's going on I'm not being pulled into

to the world anymore I'm being pulled up the same tendency that pulled me down to find stuff is now pulling me up and eventually the highest state you get to not the highest the next to the highest is you're in there so deep and it's so filled with joy and love and beauty that it Dawns on you well this is nice but where's it coming from everything has a source everything comes from somewhere where is this coming from this tremendous upward flow of energy and it starts to really entice you call you becking you to

go back to the source and how do you get back to the source the exact way you got there by letting it go except now you're not letting go of the stuff that's pulling you down you're letting go of the stuff that keeps you from going up which is your own egoo your your own sense of individuality that's exactly what Christ means by you must die to be reborn you must literally let go of the sense of individuality it's calling you up you're not the river anymore you're the ocean at that point where the river

flows into the ocean which is it River ocean it's spent this whole trip down thinking it's a river when it hits the ocean what happens it loses its identity as the river doesn't it becomes ocean that's what's happening to you you're being called to let go of your sense of separateness completely die to self and when you do it merges the great ones merged and stayed there period imagine that and you could still interact here so that's who you are that's the purpose of your life the purpose of your life is love God is love

it's the flow of love that made it through your heart what made it through your heart God right where's the source infinite so we went very far tonight right the key is this please watch yourself close don't even try to stop it at first witness Consciousness watch how often you close don't justify it don't be embarrassed by it just I beg you to kind of look over the territory watch how often you close and then see if you're willing instead to relax relax the resistance relax and that's all going to happen it all happens inside
