Michael Singer - The Focus of Consciousness

CH could G Masters people ask me what about meditation and I always say the same thing you should meditate but I'm not here to teach you meditation what I've experienced and I meditate I used to meditate a lot more years and years ago is that the time when you're not meditating is where your real spiritual growth takes place you're going to experiences lots of very special very special experiences very inspiring and sometimes frustrating because you have an experience and you want to have it again and you feel you did something wrong and next thing you

know you're getting all anxious about your meditations about your spiritual experiences which I don't highly advise but it happens but the time of every moment of every day of your life that's where it's happening there's a reason that you are the way you are there are reasons why you say what you say the reasons why you dress the way you dress the reasons why you like what you like the reason why you dislike what you dislike the reason why you love one person and dislike another person those are what are keeping you from God not

how many hours you can meditate and what experiences you've had the fact that that is going on inside of you is extremely distracting how do I I know because you live it you're in it every moment of your life you're busy being you how's that you're busy being you but if I'm a nice me it doesn't matter it's nicer to be a nice me than not nice me okay but you're still busy being you and when you're busy being you you can't know God you can know about God you can talk like you know about

God you can act in a way dressing A Way eating a way that makes it look like you're close to God but you will not know God why the Bible says the Lord your God is a jealous God does that mean he's screwed up he needs to go to shrink no what it means is if you want to know God you can't serve two masters I'm quoting Christ all this stuff Christ said you can't serve two masters what does that mean means you can't serve yourself and serve what is greater than yourself if you're focused

on yourself then that's what you're focused on let's not get down to the det DET or nitty-gritty of what part of yourself you're focused on or the positive or the negative or I like myself I don't like myself all these personality traits and all the stuff that they screw around with right it's still yourself you're busy with yourself but while you're busy with yourself you can't know God why because you are being distracted by yourself the real reason is as follows the Consciousness the awareness of being is where God is that is what what Consciousness

is that's what God is God is consciousness Universal Consciousness one Consciousness from that Consciousness spraying the quantum field spraying everything that exists and is conscious of everything that's exist there's nothing but God God Alone is real the whole universe that which when the scientists go down there and they find atoms then they find the atoms are made of electron Nu or protons then they find the electron protons are made of quarks leptons and bons and subatomic particles that are really just waves of of energy that pop up as if they're have characteristics of positive and

negative and color and spin and all these kind of things they're not they're not things they're charges a charge is not a thing a charge is a property of a force it's a property of energy and photons are not a thing they're light behaving as a particle so there are no particles there's just waves of energy that behave in a way that seems to throw off these Quantum particles that wave of energy is God it is the creator it created all things the scientists say that the farthest galaxies are made of the same thing that

this stuff's made of everything comes from the quantum field one unified field of energy that behaves differently as it expresses itself where they won't get and maybe they will never get and that's fine is that that energy is consciousness it's not that it is conscious it's Consciousness itself Consciousness and energy are the same thing just like Einstein said that matter is energy and energy is matter and the difference just a temporary State that's what equal MC squ means energy is the same as matter and if you break apart matter you will find energy cuz that's

what was making the matter if you take ice and you melt it in heat it becomes water well which is it ice or water give me a break and heat it up a little bit more and it becomes Vapor but which is it is water Vaper ice or water liquid it's all of those it's just behaving different ways based upon the environment it's in well it's the same thing with conscious and energy Consciousness is power and The Power Of Consciousness is energy so I I try to get you close to it you are conscious you

are conscious that means you are God if water looks at ice and says I wish I could be like that okay that's like you saying I wish I could know God you who's conscious the essence of your being is the Divine Consciousness it is literally Consciousness looking at this form that's what it is you don't go to God you stop leaving that's the deepest thing I will ever teach teach you all this thing about I want to find god well go look under the bed maybe he's there you who's looking is what you're looking for

so it is literally there is just one Consciousness and that Consciousness is looking at its creation and that's what you are God looking at God's creation well that's fine that's wonderful why did God bother creating it you go ask him some ask mayor Baba fully enlightened being why did God create the universe you're not going to like the answer guys but I'll B is the truth on a whim if you're dancing you're a great dancer you're just a great dancer and somebody's watching you and just you're just dancing not not choreographed you're dancing and someone

says why did you move like that right then on a whim just inspiration just expression pure expression that that's why the universe exists it is that Divine infinite Consciousness expressing every aspect of its being and then looking at it the same Consciousness and the same energy are the same thing in yoga ancient scriptures of yoga way back thousands thousand years ago in the apanas they called it chit shaki jit is in Sanskrit is consciousness and shaki in Sanskrit is energy it's all one word chich chakti and that was the name of God that's what they

call God chakti Eternal Consciousness which is energy how can Consciousness be energy you know the answer since you are Consciousness if you explore the nature of your being you will find God you will find the nature of God because God is consciousness and you are conscious isn't that amazing that's how close you are are you conscious do you know you have thoughts can you see through your eyes are you conscious that's the most magical thing in the universe is consciousness if you take everything else away Consciousness knows it's gone if the room's empty you know

it's empty if it's full you know it's full it's the same you it knows both Consciousness is the miracle the nothing's more miraculous than Consciousness oh but I saw a vision who did the Consciousness you who saw that Vision are higher than the vision there's nothing higher than Consciousness why if the vision wasn't there you're still conscious if you're not conscious there no vision there's no nothing it's everything how do you know the consciousness an energy of the same source of the same fiber because when you want to focus on something do you do you

focus on thoughts do you focus on math in your head right when you focus you create this thing called will how come you have the right to create a thought how do you have the right to focus on a thought can't you can you hold in your head 15 time three and do it but you have to concentrate don't you there concentration is consciousness focused see you do it all the time but it's like I told you it's like the fish doesn't know they're in water why they never left you're not paying attention what's going

on in there you focus your Consciousness your awareness all the time on different things if you're focused on your thoughts you can feel it wear you out you can feel it being stressful all right you can feel energy being used to focus focused Consciousness is what you call Will that's what willpower is the fact that the ious of God is able to willfully focus on a picture a person a thing a thought an emotion it's just Consciousness awareness of being focusing when you hold a magnifying glass in front of the sun it focuses the sunbeams

they're there all the time but that'll burn you if you get on the other end of that it's focused energy that's what you're doing when you focus inside Can you feel it you do concentrate don't you how do you concentrate what are you doing when you concentrate you're focusing you're focusing it's not scattered all over the place it's focused how do you have the ability to do that what is it that causes focusing and the answer is willpower you just have this power to concentrate don't you that's willpower they talk about willpower but nobody explains

you what it is military have a lot of willpower right exercise your will but nobody explains to you what is Will that's what will is focused Consciousness so Consciousness focuses and it focuses on whatever it Wills to focus on this Union of conscious and energy is what's going on energy creates all things science has shown that you're very lucky to live in an age that they have found out it's all energy that's what the ancient Masters taught that's really that's ancient yoga thousands thousands thousands of years ago it's all energy it's just light light has

created everything it all comes from light guess what they found out it all comes from light okay so basically you have that and then you have Consciousness that's all there is in the universe Consciousness and energy which is consciousness slowed down you slow Steam down it becomes water slow it down more it becomes ice you slow Consciousness down it takes form it takes a sense of form that's why the great teaching teach you all this is God all this is God there's nothing there but God but but we focus on ourselves that's what we focus

on all the time you focus on yourself what do I want you focus on your thoughts you focus on your you don't focus on somebody else's thoughts unless you care about them then you have to ask them what were you thinking they probably lie to you but you understand that it's like you focus on your thoughts how hard is it for you to focus on your thoughts you know how hard it is you can't not I'm teaching you deep things here this is deep yoga all right deep spirituality Consciousness should be able to focus on

anything anything it's able to focus on anything all right think about galaxies right now how much you see galaxies passing through your head see them it can do anything you can do anything in there but you don't you focus on your thoughts your emotions your body with all of its feelings and so on and what's in front of your senses how much of your focus Consciousness is involved in those things 99.999 there so you're focusing on your yourself you can't serve two masters like Christ teachings are the deepest that could ever be they're the deepest

of all the teachings they are the Deep teachings what does it mean you can't serve two masters that means you can't serve yourself and serve what is other than Yourself by definition why because you're busy serving yourself when do you think Christ meant when he said you must die to be reborn it means you have to die of serving yourself in order to be able to experience other than yourself how much more is there of the universe than yourself how much more is there of the whole universe forget Gainesville the whole universe how much is

there other than your thoughts your emotions your body and what's in front of you there's not a number big enough there not a number big enough to say how much there is other than that stupid little thing you're paying attention to do you have to pay attention to yourself no of course you don't it's just something you're paying attention to I prove to you you don't have to you can think of Saturn you can think of Mars you can think of galaxies your Consciousness is free and that's still using your mind to focus but at

least the mind is not focused on you a great Master will tell you you don't need your mind to experience Consciousness is conscious experiences but if you focus it on your mind it only experien what your mind can experience and if you focus your mind on you then it can only experience you your mind is capable to experiencing all kinds of things but you don't you do some you do study and Science and you do some all right but even when that's happening in the back of your mind you're thinking about you I'd rather be

sailing I don't feel like working here oh my God my boss you know you're still thinking about you in the back of there aren't you come on but but you do have the ability to let your Consciousness expand enough to where the mind doesn't have to think about just you it can think about science it can think about this all kinds of things correct right but it doesn't understand that so I just taught you Consciousness Consciousness does not have to focus on you there's no reason they would have to that's ridiculous that's like if a

light is shining on you it doesn't have to the light can shine on anything your Consciousness can be aware of anything it's Transcendent to what it's looking at and it doesn't have to look at you and that's where the great Masters went people use the word Enlightenment and they shouldn't very few people have reached the state of of Enlightenment an enlightened being a true enlightened being their Consciousness does not have to focus on themselves if they want it to it can just like you can think about math if you want to but you can not

think about you okay you try all you want and you're going to find out you're thinking about you and if you're not for two minutes you meditated enough for two minutes you're not think about you controlled your mind when you get up you're thinking about you so Consciousness is addicted to your thoughts your emotions your body and what's coming in through your senses from the outside world but it doesn't have to be that's the deepest thing i' ever teach you there's no limit to what conscious is capable of being conscious of it's all expansive and

that's what Enlighten means Enlighten means that your Consciousness is no longer addicted to focus on this tiny tiny minuscule part of the universe called me all right it it it's liberate that's what's called Liberation Jan MTA a free Soul it doesn't have to focus here what does it focus on then go study the great Masters go read autography of Yogi there's a chapter called my experienc in Cosmic Consciousness when he let go he became the whole universe he felt the galaxies were his body he was expanding out at the speed of light in all directions

mayaba said when he reached total Liberation the drop of Consciousness that had been focusing on him fell into the ocean of Consciousness find it find a drop of water when when you drop it into the ocean you will never find it it did what we call merge and that's what the word yoga means Union merger yoga is not oenus yoga is this phenomenal science of how to know God or how to merge into the higher States so an enlightened being lives in that state they are merged have you ever heard of such an enlightened being

how about the one who said my father and I are one somebody said that I remember hearing it okay what did he mean he meant my father and I won he meant that's who he was the universe descended I'm a I'm a nice Jewish Yogi but if somebody asked do you believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God I shocked them I say no I think he's God descended himself why why would be the Son of God and a fully enlightened being is merged in that state and then that's what's there oh my God

I would like to meet that guy Okay so somebody who meditates can relate a little bit to these higher States and then you really respect now you know Christ now you understand what's going on and you have a tremendous level of respect okay and you understand that whole thing my father and I one and so on so believe it or not that's who you are you are that Consciousness looking down at this does it have to no is it easy to get it not to no okay no it's not but that doesn't mean it's not

the truth so you understand mayor Baba said that's the enlightened what we talk about when the drop fell into the ocean he said man minus mind equals God guess what Manus mind equals God if you are not focused on your mind your conscience is free to focus on everything else and you think oh I can focus on her mind fine be a mind reader can some people read other people's mind Minds this is so silly of course some people can can I look at that picture and then look at the one next to it of

course I can but not if I'm addicted to the picture if I'm addicted to that picture I don't even know there's another one there so if I'm totally addicted to my thoughts I can't see yours not because I'm not capable of seeing yours I couldn't care less and the only reason I care about your thoughts I want to know what you're thinking about me do you understand that or I want to figure out how I could take advantage of that so I can get what I want so that's how caught we are in our thoughts

in our ego in our own little domain of me but that's not who you are you are the Divine Consciousness looking down into his creation and becoming lost that's called the lost soul that's a fall from the garden supposedly we think of that way Adam and Eve are in that state and they're enjoying creation like if you were an artist and you created something really big and beautiful how much fun would you have stepping back and experiencing your creation well that's God that's the Divine being having expressed the nature of itself all over the universe

black holes eating galaxies blowing up G and tiny little flowers wow you want to have devotion for God started thinking properly it expressed itself and it's loves looking at its expression that's why they say God is love it's all love it's all Beauty but does God create storms yeah how do you know let those who have eyes to see let them see all right there it is so now the Divine Consciousness is in ecstasy we call sat forg God Eternal conscious ecstasy looking down at the creation it created seeing all the aspects of its being

that's what it means to be in the garden everything's God everything's beautiful but what happened that they use the analogy that the at an apple of the tree of Knowledge Tree of self- knowledge you bothered thinking of yourself as separate I am me not I am God looking at this I am this and that's the fall that's literally a fall from the higher Consciousness down into this tiny little picky stupid little thing called me I me mine and it's like that's what's happened you fell you fell from the Divine consciousness where you're still seeing creation

but you're not in it you're just experiencing the beauty of the expression of yourself and it's ecstasy you're an ecstasy but then you identified you got a little too close to these thoughts and emotions and you identify with them and you said that's me and that's who you are running around here I'm only human you are not only human you're not even close your Divine conscious looking at a human fine I look at a vase too look at a car I look at all kinds of things I don't think I'm them not I am the

vas I'm not that right but you look at your body and you look at your mind and you look at your emotions and you say that's what I am that's the biggest lie that could ever exist that you're sitting there diminishing yourself to say I'm what I look at you're not what you look at you're the one who's looking so that's the importance of Consciousness Consciousness is God Consciousness is everything thing Consciousness is the highest thing in the universe so why can't I stay there well you know why I'm trying to tell you you're already

there you're in there how do I know you're there we talk about witness Consciousness every single one of you has some degree of witness Consciousness even though you never heard the word how do you know because you know you have thoughts if I ask you do you have thoughts I ask the most unconscious person in the world do you have thoughts yeah and you better do it I say they still know they have thoughts they're aware of their thoughts who's aware of the thoughts the thought is not aware of itself Consciousness is aware of the

thought do you have emotions how do you know you'd yell at me because I feel them who does the whole of spirituality is about Consciousness that's what it is the beginning and end of the whole thing so I said to you the highest spiritual path is what you are doing inside your self every moment of every day it's not just church or Temple or synagogue or this or that it's every minute of every day how conscious are you well I'm conscious obviously I'm conscious of my thoughts I'm conscious that's not what it means how conscious

are you of being conscious what does it mean you're obviously aware of your thoughts whatever they say you do I don't like it here you leave I'm not sure if I still love her you question your relationship anything your mind says you said it no you didn't your mind said it and you're aware of it are you capable of maintaining that level of Consciousness that you see your mind's thoughts as your mind's thoughts instead of me I'm the one who notices that the mind is not happy here I'm the one who notices that the mind

is complaining about what happened I the one who notices that I have an ego problem that things have to be the way they want and they complain if they don't right I'm the one in here that notices there's a mind down there there's a heart down there there's a body down there right and there's a world out there and I notice it when always now what does that mean how could you do it always what about with your eyesight do you notice right now what's in front of you how hard is it that's a joke

saying it's effortless is it not that's what it becomes when you become quote a conscious being what they mean by a conscious being is someone who's conscious that they're conscious instead of what they're conscious of I'm lost in my mind what does that mean my Consciousness is addicted to listening to my mind it doesn't know how to do anything else it doesn't even know there is anything else and it's addicted to listening to its heart I think that's the most important thing the whole world my heart feels you understand that you hurt me you hurt

me how could you have done that now your mind's saying that your heart's feeling that masle t you're lost in your mind you're lost in your heart when you're conscious the same as I asked you how hard is of you to see what's in front of you that's how hard is for you to see your thoughts you're just there and they're there well yours are there and they there but they pull you in you're not capable of maintaining the Detachment that I am seeing my thoughts you're not seeing your thoughts you're being your thoughts to

the difference okay that's what's meant by witness Consciousness you are seeing your thoughts how hard is it equally as hard is it for you to see what's in front of you it is effortless but it's not effortless if you're attached to the thought most of your thoughts are effortless you drive by trees you drive by cars you drive by all kinds of things really 99% all day you just drive right by walk by nothing happens you're fine your thought can think oh there's a car is this is that right nothing but then all a sudden

your girlfriend walks by with somebody else all of a sudden that thought and that feeling you you cannot stay detached from it you cannot stay centered in the seat of Consciousness you cannot no you don't you can but you don't why because it pulls you into it I want you to feel that that your conscious gets pulled down now you're not seeing objectively all these are spiritual words you're not seeing OB objectively what's going on that one thing the girlfriend or boyfriend with somebody else is not objective is it right it's the most subjective thing

that could possibly exist it's personal it's not impersonal and because of that your conscious gets pulled down into it and that's why you don't know God can we yes do we no why because something is so strong in the human mind and the human heart and the humanness if you will the personal aspect that it pulls our conscious into it and the next thing you know you're lost and you're saying things you're doing things that's what I want to talk about anybody know anything about that you're saying things doing things acting different ways and so

on and so forth because you got lost you're acting in accordance to your thoughts that's called getting lost but what if they're nice thoughts there's no such thing either you are your thoughts or you're not your thoughts if you're not your thoughts they just are what they are they're not good or bad or right or wrong or nice or not nice they're just things in the universe just like trees and clouds and everything else they're objects of Consciousness but they're strong just like drugs are strong you get addicted to them right you are addicted to

yourself why why am I addicted to myself why did I fall from the garden you got to ask that of yourself I'm asking you to ask that of yourself all right you're down here begging for someone to be nice to you right as opposed to so you can feel little love or feel a little relaxation a little trust when you are the whole universe you're filled with ecstasy and joy every second of your life you're not here begging for a full of parcel it's funny all right why because when the universe comes in it's everything

doesn't mean it's always nice I would use the same example because it's very clear rattlesnakes in front of you do not feel the same as butterflies in front of you why cuz they're not the same is that beautiful everything has its nature and a rattlesnake's nature is scary and it gives off scary a buttery doesn't that's called reality remember I said all of it is God expressing itself there it is there it is what an aspect of God a rattlesnake's an aspect of God a butterfli an aspect of God a a beautiful plants and aspects

of God so there it is but they all have their different nature they all have a different vibration which is right it's proper if you express yourself and you only use one color when you're painting it doesn't look as good does it so you you express everything so it's all expressed and it has different vibrations and different Natures when they come in they feel different they're experience different so what so what what's wrong with having different experiences so you see a rattlesnake is scary you see a butterfly it's beautiful so fine you'll see something in

a moment that's different then another thing will come but that's now what happened and this is the fall from the garden you weren't able to let it come all the way in I teach this all the time if if rattlesnake was there you feel protectiveness you step back you do what you're supposed to do cuz it's wanting you to is giving off bad vibes so it comes in and it passes through you don't spend the rest of your life afraid of a rattlesnake or afraid of a rope or afraid of a rattle a baby's rattle

you didn't store it inside of you you had the experience it passed through it doesn't mean you can't bring it back you're welcome to bring it back like a computer memory bring it back anytime you want but it doesn't come back by itself but that one does doesn't it it haunts you for the rest of your life right why CU you didn't let it go you what do I mean you you in there that has will use your will to stop that thing from coming all the way through you didn't want to experience it fully

it wasn't comfortable so you pushed it away do you ever do that do you ever see yourself pushing feelings away and thoughts away okay all right when you push it away it can't pass why you said so you're a very powerful being your will is very very strong and so you used it to stop the experience that was meant to be experienced how do I know it's meant to be experienced that's Christ let those of I to see let them see those to hear how do you know this was the experience I was supposed to

have because it's the one you had all right Nikita say so beautiful all the teach are the same right the G of Christ junor he says that which is will be be that which is not will not be what so difficult same teaching so are you capable of saying I am experiencing the Divine Dance I'm experiencing God I'm experiencing all kinds of experiences and the answer is no you're not so what do you do you protect yourself that's what the act of pushing it away is I'm not comfortable with it I can't handle it so

I'm going to push it away when you push it away you store it inside I've taught you this over and over it doesn't go anywhere you store it inside of you Freud Tau you that all psychology teaches you that is it true that what happened when you're 3 years old could still be bothering when you're 53 yes or no what's that telling you it stays inside so you've just stored inside of you everything that ever bothered you so now you have all these what you call them soft spots you calls them some scaras patterns that

you stored inside of you that you are sensitive of about if anything reminds you of them they come back up don't they that is why you're addicted to your personal self because you didn't want to experience it when it happened and you sure as heck don't want it coming back up Therefore your Consciousness is fixated on it is studying it is drawn into it that rattlesnake will come back a thousand times in your life even you'll never see another one and when it comes back if you're meditating and you're in a deep state of meditation

and you hear you're out that's the end of that meditation okay but if you never heard R snake before it doesn't bother you at all but you stored fear you stored anxiety you stored tension you stored this all right so now when it happens it stimulates and your conscience gets drawn right back into it how many of those have you stored how many have you stored in there there to be rattlesnakes they way somebody talked to you it could be the divorce it could be that your kid didn't listen listen to you it could be

this it could be that it could be the car accident it could be you fell a tree it could be so many things are you kidding me you want to find out how many there are go back and think about high school you get a lot of them in high school little clicks and rejections and acceptances and likes and dislike right or wrong how much have you got in there that's why you can't know God not that you're not capable of knowing god you are God descended that's how close you are somebody wants to ask

Yogananda I want to know God I want to know God he non only turned around and said he dwells right behind your every thought what dwells right behind your every thought the Consciousness that is aware of the thought that's how close you are to God they ask Christ where is the kingdom what do he say within you the kingdom is within you wow didn't I say are you in there do you wear your thoughts that's the you that it's within it's within the Consciousness it's within the essence of your being but why can't I go

back there because you are completely distracted by the garbage that you stored inside yourself not only if it stimulates it are you bothered you're afraid that something will stimulate it you're bothered even when it's not stimulated aren't you what if he doesn't like me he said he like me what if he doesn't oh have fun that's a nice way to think nice thoughts so what that does is trap you into focusing on this garbage that you stored inside yourself and and then you try to put it together and package it up into your personality I

know how to be if I'm nice to people they'll be nice to me and if I wear what everybody else is wearing I'll be accepted and I can be part of the click like what is that what is that that's a mind that's scared and Consciousness is lost in that completely isn't it you're going to do what it says otherwise you'll hurt otherwise you you get all kinds of stuff so when and we all how to but when you achieve a state of true inner Consciousness it means that what is going on inside of you

your thoughts and your emotions all your thoughts and all your emotions are just things you're seeing just as easy as you look outside and you see what's there notice it's effortless isn't it it's effortless to see what's there well why is it different inside why you just see what's there I told you why cuz you're drawn into it because you stored all this stuff in there and you're scared to death you're scared you won't get what you need you're scared you're going to get what you don't want you're scared somebody's going to say something you're

scared you'll do something wrong you're scared you'll be rejected you're scared that somebody's not the way they said they were and they're going to hurt you and okay that's what it means to be human you got yourself a human in there don't you full of fear and anxiety intention and desires and needs and all that kind of junk okay and if it doesn't get what it wants it freaks and it gets what it wants he go for a minute and so you're busy running after that thing what it means to grow spiritually is to work

on liberating yourself from yourself dying to be reborn it means you practice not being what you've been busy being all right how easy is that now that's not that easy okay just like I said if you started doing heroin you did it for years and years and you see how stupid this is ruining your life and you just say okay I'm going to stop yeah let's see hear me it's called an addiction there is so much power and pain of trying to not do what you're addicted to that's very difficult so with alcoholics and so

on you are addicted to protecting yourself from yourself aren't you you're addicted to trying to think what needs to happen outside so that I'm better inside well there you are now you're out there being your mind you're being this human that needs stuff okay what do I not need how do I avoid it and that's your whole life if you're not careful it's your whole life so what I do about that what I have found is that every day of your life every minute of every day of your life is an opportunity to liberate yourself

what do you mean your stuff's going to get hit the ego is going to say I need something he say I don't like this it's going to defend itself every minute it's going to do that is there some point that's not that bad but still you would have defended yourself and you would have complained and you would have this and you would have that that you can not do it right it's like if I take you to the gym and you can lift 50 pounds can you tomorrow lift 50 lb and one10 of an ounce

sure that's what I want I want you to find the place that you can do it I know you can't do it I'm very compassionate I know you can't just let it all go can you all right just I don't care what you think about me I don't care what I wear you know no you can't don't do that because all it's going to do is cause anxiety and more destruction inside but there is something that you can do I swear to you I promise you there's something that during that day you would have been

weird but you let it go the driver in front of you didn't use his blinker nice blinker buddy you didn't have to say that did you did you have to say that what what would happen if you didn't say that nothing all you would have done is not disturb yourself over something that didn't need to be disturbing you know how many of those there are wait till you see like I said there's a line in the new book living in Te the moment in front of you is not bothering you you're bothering yourself about the

moment in front of you and repeat that slowly the moment in front of you is not bothering you you're bothering yourself about the moment in front of you the fact that guy didn't use a blinker did not bother you you bothered yourself that that person didn't use the blinker how about we just stop those just start with the rubber hits the road just start with things that don't have to bother you I understand if your girlfriend leaves you or your mother dies I understand I have compassion you're not ready yet do the best you can

all right but these you can do can't you it's called practicing practicing being conscious you catch yourself you're talking to somebody that you have a rough relationship with all the time you have to say something you have to Barb you have to do something to protect yourself and and do you don't have to do that can you catch yourself there's just Habits Like relationship become habit don't they you interact with each other and that kind of thing how about you be conscious enough to notice you're about to say something that's a little bit nasty or

a little bit defensive or a little bit take control push away you understand that and you didn't have to do it it's not like it was so strong I have to protect myself you conscious for a moment can you see the energy start to come up from those some scars from those blockages from those patterns and cause a thought that you would have just expressed that's spiritual growth that's where spiritual growth is happening where you see it start to happen and you catch it there's that moment that you have meditation helps you get those moments

by the way helps you remain a little more conscious for a little longer the question is what do you do with it do you still go ahead and say it anyways or can you catch yourself that's what I noticed can you catch yourself from saying what you would have said or acting the way you would have acted and instead say I'd rather go to God cuz that's what you're trading off I'd rather let go I'd rather let go and you let go of what you would have said that's how you know you're growing but what

if who take advantage of me you're right but if I don't say nice blinker buddy he will use his blinker next time he didn't hear you saying nice blinker it did not affect anything in the world except for you can you catch yourself that's where the work is and if you catch yourself can you let go now you understand people say what do you mean by let go you understand you just you're in there you're about to get sucked in you relax you relax and you release that tendency it's like stopping a drug or stopping

alcohol stopping anything you need to exercise a little will don't you to let it go start letting go of these simple little loow hanging fruit things it will change your entire life you think these things are little they're not little while you're training yourself how to let go and the next thing you know something a little bigger will happen and you'll have trained yourself to still be there you're always conscious but we say be conscious you're conscious of being conscious all right you're sitting in a higher state and you notice this tendency to say what

you would have said okay and you don't do it dare you I dare you that's your path to God why because being sucked into it is why you're not experiencing yourself as a Divine consciousness you're experiencing yourself as that garbage now like I said you can't do it all at once and don't say ask you to do it at once I told you if you want to play the piano don't start with Beethoven start with your scales you want to play tennis don't do it against the Williams sisters start with a tennis ball feeder or

a coach isn't that how you do it you start from the beginning and you work your way up this is the same you practice true spirituality which is liberating your Consciousness from it's addiction to Your Ego it's addiction to you that's addiction to you you're addicted to you aren't you practice letting go so basically I want you to be conscious enough to look at him or her and realize that's a mess and I made that mess because I couldn't handle the situation that happened to me in life so I pushed them down into my psyche

and I got a broken psyche how about you right scared sensitive afraid needy I got one of those things well of course you do you stored every single thing that ever bothered you inside of you now all you want to do is make sure it doesn't bother you again and get things that make you feel better okay so you look at it with compassion but you work with it it's like a child you take it by the hand so come on across the street it's okay no okay if you're not comfortable we'll go a little

bit later but that's take it one step at a time that's how I want you to work with her or him but do the work and you way do you find out ultimately what happens is if you will maintain your seat of consciousness Transcendent to your personal self the mind and the heart and all that stuff right over time you can raise it you can of course you can raise it you ruined it you can raise it and you just start working with yourself and you're going to find out you go through many stages one

is difficult to do because it's very strong it wants to be protected it wants to prove itself there's some people that have to prove themselves all the time no seriously they're so insecure that they're busy proving themselves with everything they say everything they everything they do I have to prove that I'm good enough prove that I'm better prove that I'm the best the person who's the best does not prove that the best they just are the best and if you stop trying to prove yourself you're going to find out you are the best at whatever

you can be but if you're busy trying to prove yourself that you're better than everybody else it's ugly isn't it so you stop doing that and what will happen little by little as you work with her or him it's going to become more comfortable in there why cuz you're not fighting you're not struggling you're raising you're raise the energy and then at some point we're going to reach the end it's a beautiful Point you're going to find out that when something scares her she doesn't reach out to be okay she doesn't hide to be okay

she reaches up to you it's a beautiful Point she literally realizes there's something in here that's safe you the seed of Consciousness it doesn't change it's always there it's always been there her whole life it's been there watching her and it just this lower self reaches up for the higher self and when that happens all the energy in your being changes Direction literally now you don't realize it but you will all of your energy is going down it's all going down into the Mind down into the heart down into the world it reaches out it's

going to start to reach up and then you start to feel waves of ecstasy the rush of holy water as they call us he just literally starts feeling all this Joy rushing up inside of you because you removed enough of your blockages to where your natural energy flow doesn't have to be used to go down it goes up and then it goes up even higher and eventually there's so much joy total spontaneous well-being rushing up inside of you that you don't have to do anything it's going up but you'll find out you get scared because

it's so strong going up people tell me that oh it started to go up I got scared yeah that's right of course you're not used to that CU what it's asking you to do is let go to yourself sounds so romantic I want to go to God but then you can't be here right you must die to be reborn now we're talking about true spirituality have to be willing to let go of yourself and little by little the Ecstasy is so strong and the call is so powerful and beautiful that same as you let go

of the lower self little by little you let go of your individual seed of Consciousness and you get pulled up and the great ones let go the great ones all talk about that state where they let go and merged with the Consciousness itself I thought we talk a little bit about true spirituality that's true spirituality so I hope this helps you g
