[Music] CH most people have difficulty going through the daytoday experiences of life without feeling tension stress anxiety impatience fear just a poery of energies that come up inside even just in the course of a normal day it is so prevalent that it is considered normal in this Society stress and those variety of feelings and experiences are just accepted as a necessary part of western p Cas of life this is not true the person who has taken on the real challenge is the one who dares to stand on the center of Truth and interact with every
single thing every single moment of every single day with no exception from that place if you do so you will not have problems with these experiences the center of Truth is that nothing is happening the commotion the disturbance the melodrama are being created by you you're sitting on a planet in the middle of nowhere absolutely in the middle of nowhere there's nothing else going on except that this giant bowl of dirt is spinning around a star that's about the biggest thing that's happening and I forgot it's also turning on its axis so you have this
thing rotating on its axis and spinning around the star that's all that's happening there's nothing else happening it's all just on this little piece of dirt in the middle of nowhere where's the stress where's the impatience where's the tension where's the fear where's the anxiety where's the insecurity where are these things when the reality is that it goes on forever in every direction you can shout as loud as you want nothing hears you it's just infinite now though that should be a spiritual truth because it's very deep it's not is the truth even non-spiritual people
know about that one everybody understand that they are sitting on a planet in the middle of nowhere spinning around one out of a billion stars in one Galaxy and there's billions of galaxies how do we get off making a melodrama out of this how can it be this hard why are there so many problems and aside from the fact that that's all that's going on and please remember it as if that's not enough to free you you don't even stay here forever you stay here for a tiny little piece of time you know 50 60
70 years or something it's absolutely nothing goes by so fast you blink your eyes you missed it all right and you get to spend a very fin night very fine night remember I mean it's been here billions of years it's spun around the same star you know 70 80 years ain't a whole lot compared to billions so like a tiny little piece of time just a speck of time on a speck of dirt and you can't hand it let's get good and personal you freak out you get up tight you go ballistic a speck of
time on a speck of dirt that's how you have to look at it because that's the truth and that's all that's going on and now both of those parts everybody understands everybody knows you ain't staying and everybody knows it's just a speck of time and a speck of dirt and you should not have a single Speck of a problem it's none of your business you didn't create the speck of dirt and you don't determine the spec of time it's enough that it's so little so finite in both cases but then you realize it's not even
under my control has nothing to do with me it was here before I got here it will be here after I leave now why not live that why not take that absolute truth and bring it into every moment of every day of your life then whatever happens is just what happened during this Speck of time on this Speck of dirt it's not such a big deal it's okay and at some point in your life you get tired of your melodrama that's the point I want to know you you're much more fun once you got tired
of your melodrama until you're tired of your melodrama you're very melodramatic okay that's the way it goes you're just going to be getting into this melodrama and you're going to try to suck everybody else in with you aren't you all right so at some point you realize I make of my life what I make of my life it's the speck of time on this Speck of dirt do I want to be happy do I want to be sad do I want to love people or do I want to have friends and not friends and disharmonies
and all this kind of stuff don't sit there and tell me it has nothing to do with you it has everything to do with you you can to quote a phrase coin a phrase love your enemies not because you're supposed to just because they're fun right they're like why do people put pepper on their food that's like you know an enemy somebody's mean to you somebody's has mean things to say to you somebody's down on you somebody thinks you're ugly they can't even stand to be around you all right that that brings up different energies
it gets the suy flowing what do you want everything to be sugar you got yin and yang going on here you got to balance all this stuff you all learn to eat that way why can't you learn to live that way there's nothing wrong with anything it's all just experiences that are happening during this little speck of time on this Speck of dirt if you think you can control them you still got a whole trip to go out there and realize it's not in your business how other people are it's just absolutely none of your
business if somebody has the Tendencies within themselves to be a certain way and you decide you don't want them to be that way you're in big trouble cuz you can from the outside make them be any way you want maybe it's a lot of work work if you haven't quot on it's a lot of work but you didn't change anything nothing changes from the outside absolutely nothing nothing ever changes from the outside does it it's got to change from its roots it's got to change from its structure it's got to be real and if you
just go there and do something manipulative to get something to change on the facade you're going to have to keep it that way forever your full-time job forget it don't even go to school just sit there and keep that person the way want them because the minute you walk away they're going to be the way their tendency tells them to be aren't they have you seen people's Tendencies and how strong they are I hope you have have you seen your Tendencies and how strong they are I hope you have that even when you mean to
change something boom there are those Tendencies again darn Tendencies they come up from inside don't they and the next thing you know you're behaving in a way that you said you weren't going to behave you're doing things that you said you weren't going to do anybody noticed that Tendencies are very strong so not only do you have them but other people have them so if you decide that other people should behave the way you want them to you're going to ruin your Speck of time and the speck of dirt you're going to someday wake up
realizing you're fighting with everything realize you're afraid of everything realize your mind is constantly thinking what could go wrong constantly looking at all the possible scenarios and options of what might happen that you don't like or how you might lose what you do like anybody ever had that even once maybe goes on a lot doesn't it constantly checking it out going through the possibilities and so on you've ruined your life that's not fun why would you want to live like that why would you want to do that you don't have to do that you don't
ever have to do that all you have to do is be willing to let things be what they are and be willing to let someone's Tendencies be what their Tendencies are be willing to let life be life be willing to permit the situations of life to unfold in the natural way that the situations of life will unfold and experience them and realize that you can handle the highs and the lows the goods and the bads all of the Opposites can come to you and help you and be experiential this is how you live your life
without melodrama you are making the melodrama there is no melodrama if somebody comes to you and throws love all over you and then leaves then you experience what it's like to have love thrown all over you and you experience what it is like to have someone leave after they have thrown love all over you did you not want that experience why which one do you want which one do you not want there are lots of experiences to be had why are you show sure it's a trip to Paris that you want and and not that
why are you so sure you want the person that comes and throws love all over you and just keeps throwing love all over you and never leaves you might get very tired of it how do you know which experience you want you think you know are you ever right no you never right if you were right you'd be in somebody got it the way I want it it's over ecstasy it doesn't work like that you don't know what you want and the Very fact that you want or don't want is what's ruining your life otherwise
you're living your life instead of manipulating your life instead of thinking about your life instead of controlling your life instead of fighting with your life instead of melal drama your life you're not supposed to be doing that there's only a speck of time on a speck of dirt remember don't waste it don't sit there and think if only I can get it this way I'll be okay that's not true you get it any way you want you'll find it won't be okay cuz until you're okay it's not okay and as long as you think there's
a way it needs to be for you to be okay you're not okay that's not how it works when you are okay with how it is you're okay and when you're okay with no matter how it will be you're in great shape and when you're okay with every way it ever was you made it you attained to a great state you will be in a state of ecstasy you will feel the same joy that those moments when someone feels when something goes the way they want right someone you like comes and says they like you
how's that feel I want you to feel that every minute of your life who said you can't you did you said I only get to feel that when she comes up and tells me that she loves me for the first time because you must admit don't tell anybody but it gets less and less each time she says you know by the time you marry for 20 years and she says it all the time yeah yeah I love you too the same thing you get used to it why you don't understand what's happening that shaki is
always there that's all is happening is a Russ of shaki that is always there that is there every minute just any time any moment Joy should shoot through your being until you're in ecstasy that's what should be going on why is it not because you said it can't you said I don't like her sitting there I want him to sit there you said this is taking too long this talk I have some Place i' rather be in other words I can't be in ecstasy now excuse me I can't be in ecstasy now there's somewhere else
I'd rather be you got to catch on that's what you're saying and when you say that the very Act of saying that stops the flow of the shy because when the mind gets what it wants the mind is like a door it opens when the heart gets what it wants the heart is like a door it opens when the heart is open and the mind is open that's when it happens isn't it that's why even people who don't know how to open their heart and never heard the term ever before and don't know how to
open their mind and don't even know they have a mind they think they are it when someone that they got their eye on runs up to them and says I've always been afraid to tell you but I think you're the most handsome and beautiful person to ever live and I love you so much and runs away whoa bye-bye why because that makes the heart open and that makes the Mind open why because the heart and mind wanted that and therefore when they get what they want they open all right they'll become much more open under
those conditions and then when they open you'll see that these chakras are doors they are doors to the flow of The Prana to the Shakti when they open wo the Shakti is always trying to push up you will get a rush if that person comes back and says just kidding not all right you will notice that they close like that and that you no longer feel this Rush of energy isn't that amazing haven't you noticed that you've been alive all this time living inside of that machine and you don't understand anything about the way it
works that's how it works so now you got two choices right then you either sit there and feel that I have to get them to not be kidding I have to make sure that they do love me I have to change my clothes I have to wear deodorant I have to do something in order to make sure it comes out the way I want or or or I have to find out how to keep my heart and mind open even if they say just kidding not then it doesn't change then it's nonconditional and that's what
you have you have nonconditional joy ever New Joy those are your choices in your life you either spend your will controlling wishing hoping manipulating fighting struggling so that once in a while you get a rush or you spend your will fixing healing opening your being so that you always get a rush I don't care if you ever attain to that state you let Let It Be indelibly marked within your being that you have the ability to always always be in that state and the only reason you are not is because of you because you are
creating a melodrama it has nothing to do with anyone else Rach Krishna used to say Helter Skelter come with me all right whatever comes what's it got to do with me I'm doing my my Speck of time on my Speck of dirt and this is just what happens this is what came next and it's fine and if you can handle it there's something wrong with you there's never anything wrong with anything else it's just this is what unfolding now so basically your work is in here your work is on your doors your work is on
yourself and to the extent that you're willing to stand on that truth so now we've done three truths which are absolute the speck of time the speck of dirt and the fact that every single problem you have is self-generated every single problem that you have is self-generated you say no you don't understand you know I had this car and I really liked it and someone stole it I can't find it it can't be replac you don't understand like no amount of money can replace it it's like a oneof a kind and and and and melodrama
melodrama you want to do that do it you want to ruin your life ruin your life you want to sit there and enjoy this car when it's there enjoy when it's there don't renounce if it's there enjoy it when it's gone enjoy that it's gone but it bothers me enjoy that it bothers you enjoy the experience of the experience no matter what it is if you're heart is pouring wide open going out towards somebody enjoy what it feels like to be in love if your heart is aching and ripping at you and feeling it's been
you know left behind and deceived and denied and wants to reach out and doesn't know where to go enjoy the experience of the human heart feel what it's like to be human enjoy the experience honor the experience because it can't touch you you are the one that's experiencing the experience you are the Consciousness you are the self you are the Atman you are the soul you are the being and you are in there and if the heart is opening going out you experiencing that if the heart is closed and aching you are experiencing that to
the day that you say that's all I want is whatever experience comes to me this is my honor to experience this how far will you go with this when ran Mahari great Saint very great Saint was in the Hamas with his small clan of devotes they were attacked by robbers and they not only were robbed but they were beat and they came in with clubs and things and they beat the master they beat the disciples and at one point one of the disciples fought back or something and Har she said do not do not fight
back and the master let him in him I laid there and the next morning cleaned up never talked about that's what happened now now you can sit here and say that's crazy that's Insanity you want to know why you say that CU you're afraid it'll happen again you didn't like the experience you want to stop the experience Romano Mah Hari is the one who stopped the experience cuz he EXP experien it only while it was happening it then had no effect on his life from that moment forward he neither feared that it would happen again
why should he it hadn't happened before what do you think do it happened once the probability is greater it will happen again probably the probability is less you already rolled your dice they already found out you renunciates you didn't have anything whatever it was basically there is no increased probability there's only increased some scars there's an increased impression that got made on you so now every time you walk down the street every time you hike a mountain what comes up that impression that's some scar so you got affected by it forever he didn't he processed
it experienced it accepted it and released it who won he did it left no Impressions please I know it's scary to even talk like this you can forget it all when you walk out the door but just for a moment dare dare to see the truth the truth is that's what happened during that Speck of time and that Speck of dirt isn't it that's what happened want to ask why why was that Bandit born when he was born and why did he meet this person and that person and why did his parents beat him and
why did that happen and why did where he spent the night last night end up snowing so he walked this way why why why why why why is everything in the universe the way it is because of all the forces that ever were have culminated in the now because the dinosaurs walked on the face of the Earth that guy ended up in that place at that time at the same moment you were if one dinosaur took a step differently something would have changed and it wouldn't ended up that way if he ate something different for
breakfast 3 years earlier he'd be off the schedule a little you know oh this is good one extra bite you know just knock it all off why things are because of the forces that exist and they all interact together and they make up the moment and the moment becomes like a wave that moves all of it causes and become the effect that make up the next moment and everything is interacting like that and it ain't personal it was not personal that that took place to those people at that time guess what nothing's personal if somebody
hates your guts it's not personal the fact that that person hates you got to do with his mother got to do with his first wife got to do with his jeans got to do with his teachers got to do with who he ever met and who he ever didn't meet there is so much going on in the fact that your hair is blonde and so is his mother's and the fact that you just happen to be in that place at that time to drop your newspaper so you bumped heads in the store or something who
the heck knows what all of the factors are they're big aren't they they are Way Beyond you there's no why there's just the experience of the moment and the wise being understands that to minimize suffering you don't make melodramas you don't make melodramas there's no value none in melodramas you dare to experience reality and you open and the most miraculous thing happens you find out you're fine you find out you're fine you find out someone came and loved you and showered you with love and you were fine and they left and you don't know why
and your heart and mind are going banana berserk and all that's going on inside of you and yet you're fine cuz you know it will pass and you're willing to experience what you need to experience and you don't hate the person and you don't end up being afraid of other people I want to see you go through it without some scars without Impressions and it's not personal you're not trying to figure out what did I do what's this it's just this is what took place he mixed yellow and red and got orange don't ask me
why he mix yellow and red you get orange you mix this person and that person at this point in time with the Stars this way and these some scars and these Impressions this is what you get orange it's okay and to the extent that you're willing really willing to face the music and dance with life you will never have another problem as long as you live CU you stop defining Life as a problem and you stop defining this is preferred and that is not preferred it's so simple but no one will do it they all
think that if they get it this way they won't have any more problems but they create every melodrama and every problem that ever lived in trying to get it that way remember that third Zen patriarch great way is not difficult for those who have no preferences the great way is not difficult for those who have no preferences so your path is your openness your path is your surrender your path is your acceptance if you are creating melodrama and we do you will suffer and then you will blame the suffering on other people other experiences and
it will look like that's what's happening it's not it is because you set up that preference that you carried this with you so your path will be as rapid as your willingness to live the truth don't sit there and tell me I'm growing too slow I don't see any changes that's because you're holding on it's because you've let parts of it change but I'm keeping this I have the right that's what I want to see I want to see where you have the right to make yourself miserable people do that I have the right to
be unhappy you don't know what happened to me in my life I have the right to be unhappy I have the right not to trust people you should see what's happened to me you want the right to be miserable have fun you want the right to be closed you got the right you got the right to do whatever you want if you want to know what else you have the right to be open you have whatever right you want why do you want the right to be unhappy why do you want the right to not
like somebody you should see what they did to me I have the right unjustified why do you want it all it does is destroy you give up your rights let truth be right truth is right God do to me what you want it's all just creation anyways bring to me what you want and you will find that you have fun I don't understand people they go to these fairs and Disney World and different things like that it's not like every single ride is Fairyland they really got you know some scary things it's not like everybody
wants to just have everything sweet and everything all one way that's don't look like that it's very important all right just wake up in the morning and realize H I woke up on a planet in the middle of nowhere what a funny place to be and put your head down at night and say it spun around on its axis again now it's not facing the sun where I am I think I just close my eyes and go to sleep and you wake up in the morning you know what happened while you're sleeping it's kept spinning
and now where you are is starting to face that little star again ever think about that please think about that please think about that and then when you see that star straight up ahead remember all it did was spin to where it's straight on and then it's going to spin and that's all it's happening all right As the World Turns I just thought that was a really poignant name for one of those melodramas As the World Turns all that's going on As the World Turns whoa that is weird so this is your choice please accept
this Choice you're making your own life you make your own bed and then you lay in it if you want to be happy you can be happy if you want to have fun you can have fun all the time don't cop out all the time just start watching when you close and you will find that all your tension that's so we started right tension all the stress factors are because you are closing to the energies that are coming at you if you resist and close it creates tension that's what tension is it is you who
decides in every experience in life they to look at it when you resist you are unhappy it creates stress and disturbance when you accept you're open and it's beautiful somebody sit there wants to go on a picnic and it starts raining to one person it ruins their day to the other person they run out there and play in the rain and decide to do something else all right and they have fun with it why because they accepted it somebody else resisted it it is your choice so you work on these things you work on these
things so you can be a rarity on this Earth you can be a happy person you can be a person without melodrama a person without moods a person that's always there when others come to you you're like the Rock at ja bral it's always there all right that's a Grace you bring a great blessing to the people around you how would you like to be around someone that wasn't Moody and melodramatic and you knew all the time that your friend would be there not just their body but them you didn't have to worry about who
you were going to find there tomorrow happens like that with people doesn't it like somebody's possessing their body he a totally different person every time you go there all right no you be different and don't expect other people that's the greatest I can give you some Clues you ain't going to make it if you think you're taking anyone with you you do it you do it even if no one else does it you do it all right and you will find that you create a force that is so powerful and whoever comes into it will
be lifted you're going to understand a tape I have of him he said you practice these teachings I've given you every day every night and whoever will see your eyes will be changed ched this is the power of Living Truth drra
