giant Masters you're gonna know he wants to give a talk called blinding malignant moods people have moods is a very yogic thing these moods there are tremendous opportunity for spiritual growth it's like everything else things are what they are that's not the issue the issue is what you do with them so first of all what is a mood and what causes a mood it's very very simple once you understand what's going on when the Shakti is Flowing which relatively it can be sometimes a lot you fall in love you're having a wonderful time you're excited
you win the lottery why does that make the Shakti flow it doesn't make the Shakti flow the Shakti is always flowing it opens you so that it's free to rise you'll realize someday it is always there but you are close like the sun's always there but clouds will block it the cloudy day does not stop the sun the sun sits in the sky and shines nothing nothing stops the Shakti flow is natural within every single human being so it's trying to flow up but you're closed you have blockages or things from your past present thoughts
that you stored that you didn't let go of and they blocked the Shakti they're stored inside the energy Channel so when something happens that your ego likes we discussed yesterday very deeply ego when something happens is your ego likes which is relatively rare but not totally rare it opens just like anybody else if you like what's going on it's not hard to like what's going on it's as simple as that if you don't like what's going on it's very hard to like what's going on well what is it that likes and dislikes it's not you
you do not like or dislike you are the Consciousness the awareness of being that is aware that a part of you likes or dislikes maybe you've noticed okay when something happens outside that hits the stuff in you in just the right way at just the right angle with just the right words at just the right time we're just the right person it opens why because it likes it if you get a massage and you like the masseuse and you like the table and you like the incenses being burned and you had a good day and
you open up you have a wonderful time if you don't like the person somebody just died and you're scared for the massage and you got yelled at because you weren't there on time you're not really doing very well with a massage it's more like keep your hands off of me okay so it is something you are doing your ego is doing your your psyche is doing your psychological energy is either open or blocked when it opens and it can the Shakti flows most people credit the outside person place or event or thing for causing that
energy to flow that you say things like oh my God I love you so much no if they stood in front of you and you felt disdain you would not say I love you is because you're feeling love you project it onto the object that helped open you and you say I love you how hard is it to stop loving somebody what do they have to say or not say in one second that ego closes doesn't it and by the way that's why you're so sensitive they say that you only hurt the one you love
why because when you're open you're susceptible you're sensitive you've let energy in you've let the ego open up and dare to open you don't feel love when you're closed but when you're open you're exposed and so all it takes is the slightest thing and boy it closes nothing really really quickly so when you're open the Shakti flows and you are in a good mood there are some things happens you like you're looking forward to something et cetera Etc beautiful day out the weather's just balmy perfect things can open you all right but many more things
can close you many more things in closure the ratio is not even close to how many things can close you versus what actually opens you not to mention totally opens you you've been totally closed that's not hard at all okay but to be totally open I try to like you turn the corner and the Sun is setting and you're having a decent day anyways and it's just oh the colors are so gorgeous that it blows your mind what it really does is blow your ego the conversation that was going on in your mind now can't
is too beautiful you open too much and then what happens the Shakti comes flying in and you feel all this uplifting energy I like people say to me no you don't understand I felt like I was in the presence of God you were because that's what's flowing inside of you ever been that open can nature do that doesn't take a person or the lottery a painting can do it music does it a lot can you get lost in music and then just come back and there's just all this joy and ecstasy so you are capable
of totally opening but that's not your normal State that's an extremely rare State you're capable of opening a little bit because something's happening that you like okay but you are really capable of closing the driver in front of you can make you close let's keep seven minutes breaks I don't know where his blinker is the weather can make you close oh my gosh so human it's so hot I can't handle it you can close by anything here it's oh it's raining my God it rains right I have to get out of my car okay these
are moods I'll explain it to your moods you were okay now you're not it's raining so I'm gonna close that's what's happening the rain is not making you close when can I make you close the car in front of you can't make you close but somebody says Can't Make You Close you make you close you choose to close somebody else the farmer needs rain it starts to rain it opens oh and you're the rain I Got a Car you do have these moves you see what I call moves now that's why these extreme things you
know where you're weird you change a minute and a five of a second you go from okay to not okay to really not okay I love the story that they tell in in tether soul you're in love with somebody a beautiful relationship and here she breaks up with you suddenly Sun break up you know nothing was wrong and you're depressed is your heart closes you're freaked out you know what's going on you don't want to go out you don't talk to your friends you don't answer the phone you don't clean up you haven't showered just
lay in bed no energy no anything you're close you say I got no energy of course you have no energy you're closed the Shakti is the energy when you're feeling that Shakti you're being fed from inside the energy is flowing when you're closed of course you have no energy of course you have to sleep all the time of course you don't want to do anything you have no inspiration no anything that's because you're closed now what made you close that's a different issue but the fact is closed is closed and then you're not having energy
and if you sit there and think that'll never and you do you think I'll never get out of this state I love her so much I love them so much I'll never meet anybody else I'm just going to be on happy for the rest of my life I don't even bother to do anything you're depressed what's depression of mood it's a mood it's because you're closed how can I prove that scientifically phone rings here man I don't get stupid phone you knock it off the table leave me alone and it's that girlfriend's Voice or boyfriend's
voice you just hear Hello Charlie Charlie pick up the phone whatever they bothered over each other and pick it up ready oh my God I'm so sorry I never realized how much I love you what was wrong with me I must have been in a bad mood I'm so sorry that I will you ever forgive me I realized how much I love you can I come over can I come over I really want to apologize properly and have some time with you right how you doing got a little energy you want to take a shower
clean up a little bit and get dressed I want to know how long it take you opened they caused you to open closed you open no Shakti Shakti it's all spirituality it's all yoga okay you choose to open you choose to close but you're not conscious enough to notice understand that I told you in the new book a very beautiful line of the book says the moment in front of you is not bothering you you're bothering yourself about the woman in front of you the moment in front of you is not bothering you you're bothering
yourself about the moment the rain is not bothering you you're bothering yourself about the rain you don't have to do that the car in front of you the red light is that's a stop at the train that you have to stop at then you're in a rush they're not bothering you you're choosing to bother yourself about the events that are falling in front of you always those are gentle examples it's always that way some of you love picks up and leaves you all right if you don't be bothered don't be bothering them the event can't
bother you you bother yourself about the event what if they say he's got this terrible marriage but she's Catholic they can't get divorced he's a schnook I mean it's terrible and all of a sudden the inevitable letter note sits on the night table I'm leaving you I will not come back give me a divorce I'm leaving you well that lady goes her Dexter saying boy I'm done with them right can it happen the moment in front of you is not bothering you you're bothering yourself about the moment in front of you now I understand that
you don't have a choice that ego is extremely strong it has preferences Concepts and Views and opinions if things match your preferences Concepts views and opinions the ego opens if they don't it either neutralizes or it closes and most people are not centered or clear enough and not enough work on themselves which is why we're here to have a say in the matter you're not deciding to you say well I couldn't help myself well you're the only one in there but you have allowed the monster excuse me the ego to become so powerful that if
it doesn't like something you're done your heart hurts your mind goes crazy all of that that's because it's used to running things it's used to being in charge so a mood is the opening and closing of the heart and of the Mind and if they are open you're in a good mood sometimes it's a really good mood if they're closed you're in a bad mood sometimes they're really bad mood the whole spectrum is the question of the opening and closing of your heart and your mind well what determines a harder mind open and closes it's
not automatic it's not genetic in the sense you do but you didn't make the decision at that moment over the course of your life you had experiences that made you feel good an experience that made you feel bad you clung to the good ones and repressed suppressed resisted the bad ones if you touch them they stay inside of you as something is the essence of the teachings if you touch it you own it so somebody said something to you and you weren't feeling good anyways and now you don't like what they said 20 years later
you could not like that person somebody uses their name I know though I met them once before it's hilarious you can't handle the shifts and energies that happen naturally naturally through life so you either cling to them I like this experiment to happen again I compare everything against it all right the dinner's not the same last time I came here they served something else I don't care anymore you're very funny so the psychology says you're the summer you learned experiences no you are the Consciousness that is aware that your psyche is a sum of your
learned experiences and it is the summer Lord experiences you did not decide what to like or not to like you did not decide who to like and who not to like it got patterned over the course of your life you like a redhead I like redheads like a blonde like a tall person I don't like a tall person you just made all this stuff up based on the movie you watched the experience you had a book you read it doesn't matter the point is something came in from outside it hit you a certain way and
it hit you good you want to keep it if you hit your bad you don't want to feel you don't experience it so you either cling or resist and you build those energies inside of you they call some scars and yoga they're patterns of energy that you did not let go of a great being like Rama Krishna I told you Robert Krishna was asked does a great yoga an enlightened Master ever feel anger and they were shocked when he said yes he said but it's like riding on water what's the reason to make he's right
on water right something dirty it doesn't matter write something nice it doesn't matter right if you're gonna name God you want to see it the world comes into a yogi I think he just says that right the world comes into Yogi and leaves him as it found him at peace Serene content as all the rivers of the earth flow into the ocean and leave it as it found it it doesn't overstep its bounds it doesn't flood so the world flows into the yogi and passes right through that's what ranks are talking about doesn't mean you
don't feel something it doesn't mean something doesn't happen it means it makes it through without you touching it without the self the Consciousness having to do anything about it okay you said something I felt an insult or a jealousy and there it goes now I'm here now now in present in the moment because I didn't hold on to the Past moment that's what it means to be whole to be complete so basically we don't do that we resist throughout the course of our life things we don't like we resist them they stay inside how do
you know stay inside I need to give you that lecture you dream about them you think about do they come back up do they come back up okay that's because you kept them inside the event doesn't come back up but something hits your stuff and whole things from flying back up now now you got more moods why because you close because of the things that made you close let me just question do you close because of things that made you close before if something reminds you of something that closed you forward do you close well
no wonder you close so much you stored everything never bothered you inside and now anything that reminds you somebody's voice sounds like somebody else's you walk into the kitchen and the smell is like what your mother used to cook and you got along with your mother you melt you didn't like your mother very much and what she cooked wasn't worth eating and then basically you close a smell now you understand moods this is why they shift this is why it goes up and down this is why all that happens is because you store this stuff
in here and so now the ego closes and opens almost automatically based upon the experience it's having and how it relates to what happened before it very rarely the sunset was an experience where you're being opened by what's actually happening otherwise almost every bit of your thoughts your heart your experiences your moods are based on what happened before there's just all stimulates it back up somebody can say one word it reminds you I can't believe you said that my mother talked to me like that now you're understanding moods that's what causes moods opening closing what
opens it closes your heart in your mind because they're programmed based upon the stuff you stored in there that's still in there and it gets stimulated doesn't it gets touched so basically that's what's going on and that's what's causing moods that's what causes your moods and then what happens is it builds on top of each other the mood that got stimulated because somebody said somebody somebody didn't say something or something happened that reminded you of something that bothered you in the past causes you to close now you're in a bad mood which will cause you
to close later another impression like you were eating at a restaurant and they served the food that made you clothes or something reminds you of something right you're not going back to that restaurant the thought of the restaurant makes you close it multiplies and so basically you will go up and down and up and down like a yo-yo and what you'll try to do is say I don't like to be down I need to find somebody I need to find something I need to find a job that's passionate about I need to be turned on
something needs to turn me on why because you're turning yourself off that's the only reason if you were not turning yourself off you've been ecstasy all the time I'm serious all the time Master said there's a river of joy that flows up inside of you there is except you're blocking it and so now a normal human being does is try to take the sum of their positive experiences and go on a vacation that will be most like that and meet somebody who reminds you of this that and the other thing something that opens me like
I said you then say I love you instead of well I told you what to say no don't do it don't listen to anything I'm saying please it doesn't work in this world right if you feel love the proper thing to say is oh my God I feel so much love in your presence that is a true statement I feel so much love in your presence you know what that does it keeps you from thinking that if you ever lose them you're dead why because you've admitted it's inside of you it's wonderful to love it's
wonderful to share but it's not wonderful to become dependent and sit there and start becoming possessive and clinging and jealous and all the stuff that goes along with that because what you said was I love you your love not I am experiencing love in your presence and if I'm not experiencing love in your presence there's something wrong with me if I'm not experiencing love and everybody's president there's nothing wrong with me you're going to understand perfect your relationship with one person then spread it to everybody but you can't do that when you say there's only
one person in this life that can open me well what if they don't well I'm depressed I lost my soul mate I always tell you you do have a soul mate you're it you are your other half you're the one who cut yourself in half saying things have to be this way for me to be okay and if that way I'm not you did that this is a part I think it's hilarious your entire life you screwed yourself up haven't you you're bothered you stored this stuff you got some scars all over the place you
go into moves up and down and you just met somebody that you don't even know you know for a month two weeks you've lived this for you know 20 30 40 years okay you honestly believe that that person is going to know how to keep you open that's their job but why else want to marry you I told you I love you that means that you're supposed to make me feel love you're supposed to know when I need this and no one I don't need that and no one needs about my space and know what
I need to be taken care of and et cetera et cetera and then don't lose your job because I no no money had something to do with it and don't get old [Music] you were good looking before I'm like I got pictures of you all over the place not the new ones what are you doing how can you expect somebody else to overcome what you are doing inside yourself you literally go as far as I'm not worthy of love I've never I script every relationship I've ever had all right can you fix that I Feel
Love in Your Presence that you must be that special person that neutralizes my whole lifetime of garbage not to mention lifetimes of garbage that I stored inside of me that's what you think your relationship is that's ridiculous that's absurd so I said of course you have relationships they're very good for your growth but because you learn it's happening inside of me love is inside of me shock to the inside of me inspiration is inside of me passion is inside of me it's all inside isn't it when you feel it's all inside of you even the
most intimate moments nobody has their eyes opened during the most intimate moments why because they're being pulled inside with the beauty that's going on inside you're just feeling oh my God it's beautiful so it's inside of you it's always inside of you it's not just yoga or some spiritual journey it's inside of everybody that's all but if you close off I gotta feel it so now you're out there silly I can't even believe I've been doing so many years I can't even talk about it you are absurdly going out there trying to find things that
will open you why don't you just stop closing since you're doing it you're closing yourself you decided what to close about all of this is you you're doing you're the only one in there it's just you you experience your thought you experience your good mood you're ever in a bad mood how do you know ever in a good mood how do you know because you're in there is it the same you who notices the bad moods and nurses the good mood that's the serious question is it the same you who notices that when you're in
there there's nice stuff going on and when you're in there there's razor blades going on yes or no does it notice your heart opens it closes does your nose your mind somehow or have a bad mind day or sometimes the mind gets really quiet and beautiful is it the same being that notices both there's only one of you in there you're in charge you're the boss but you've let the rains just fly around just use the example like getting going in the back seat and let the car drive itself you don't even think about that
that's what you've done with yourself you let go of The reigns from the very beginning and just said if it makes me feel good like it make me feel bad I don't want it and I store all inside of me and I'm a bundle of junk I have a walking Target for anything to happen and I'll close and most people don't know how to not close and don't know how to get out of being closed until they get so depressed that the Mind who's closed what does the Mind sound like when the heart's close oh
my God I don't feel good it's terrible it has no energy doesn't mind sound like when the heart's open and she's actually flowing oh my God I could take on the world this is great this is the best day I've ever had in my entire life yes or no you didn't make it do that it's the Shakti flows the energy comes up the mind's positive because it's getting positive energy just like your body needs energy to be healthy if you're closed it doesn't get the energy and everything becomes dark and negative those are your moods
maligning malignant moods so now that we lay the groundwork you do not have to live like that you do not have to live with that do you know who the people that most don't know what they're talking about are the ones who say you can't experience Joy unless you're experiencing sorrow you can't experience love unless you experience hate that's so caught in Duality it's absurd you are capable of transcending that entire human aspect of your being transcending the ego transcending all this junk that you stored in there and having nothing but constant light pouring up
inside of you constant I am not exaggerating I want to feel love wave your hand in front of your heart when it passes that chakra structure comes flying up inside that's who you are that's who every single one of you are it will never go away you're blocking it that's why if the sun is shining but you look down all the time do you see the sun no that's what's happening you are looking down at your ego you're looking down at your blockages you're looking down at what's blocked inside of you and developing your whole
life based on that and saying I need things to be okay you do not need anything to be okay not psychologically don't let them tell you that you're whole and complete within yourself you're the most beautiful thing ever walk the face of the Earth you're a great being but you are looking in the wrong direction you're looking down why because the ego is so strong that it straps your Consciousness down toward it doesn't it if your heart hurts where's your Consciousness go right there doesn't it if your mind is complaining where's your Consciousness will go
right there if you feel need where's the conscious go right there these things draw your Consciousness down to them and therefore you don't know that there's pure light pouring inside of you it's just behind you sometimes yes how can I be enlightened I want to know God tell me master how do I know God just turn it on nonchalantly and said he dwells right behind your every thought oh my God what dwells right behind your every thought the Consciousness that experienced the thought do you know you have thoughts how do you know somebody notices there
he dwells right behind your every thought whoa that's pretty close in there well why don't I experience it because you're drawn into the thought your Consciousness is distracted by the thought therefore it doesn't hang out with the center that is experiencing it it gets pulled into it so that's the story and those are our moves and that's why it is the way it is and that's why life is so difficult and it is difficult it's like Buddhists that all life is suffering because that's a mess it's just a mess okay and you think and they
teach you that's the funniest part I live out here in the woods they teach you that the way to solve that is to get what you want that's absurd absurd no the way to solve that is to get rid of the blockages so that your whole incomplete every moment will unconditionally well not to get what you want so which of you have gotten what you want ever in your life yeah which of you was at the end of wanting things are you kidding me it will never stop it has never stopped you you now have
you know front row seat to watch a lot of rich people make a mess in their lives don't you rich and powerful people you think they're all okay happy all the time so wonderful they're not a chance in the world has nothing to do with money has nothing to do with looks has nothing to do with with relationships has nothing to do with people loving you has nothing with any of that you think because you're really popular hey rock stars are really popular why are they doing drugs why they kill themselves wake up the problem
is not that you're not getting what you want the problem is that you have an ego that wants things because it's blocked the only reason you want things is because you're blocked if you are not blocked you feel Joy welling up inside of you man does not live but alone but by every word that liveth the mouth of God it's amazing Christ was a yogi every single thing he said is absolute truth bread means the outside world you don't live just off the stuff that's coming in from the outside world there is this energy flowing
inside it is Spirit Shakti Chi call it whatever you want there's another name all the same stuff all right that energy is coming from the Divine it's coming from your connection to the great energy so you're living off every word to live in the mouth of God every single thing that's taught in deep spirituality is telling the same truth it is not about getting what you want oh it's not how often if you get what you want do you get tired of it here there's a favorite food you like you just love his favorite tell
me all about it I'm going to get the best chef in the world that has ever made that dish for anybody for kings and queens all the place I'm gonna bring them here and have them cook dinner for you excited yeah excited weeks before right they get turned on just a thought of it really okay is it there eat it how is it perfect I mean perfect the best chef ever existed it melts in your mouth that's exactly everything you ever say I'm not saying you get disappointed you're not disappointed at all you're like blown
away this is the best experience you ever had in your whole life all right so you say okay would you like to have it again tomorrow are you kidding me of course I would what about the next day yeah yeah okay how about for breakfast lunch dinner every day give me some brussels sprouts it's like you want anything but that don't you there's no way that that keeps turning you on is it okay it's because it's new it's because you haven't experienced it before it's special go to the same hotel to the same place and
do the same thing every time you go on vacation but it was so good last time it's not going to be the same next time is it does the law of diminishing returns that's an economic law law of diminishing returns what does that mean the more you get something the less utility it has to you why because you get used to it and it stops opening you so basically you can't win that way the answer since the problem is that you're closing that you've collected all this stuff that you're closed about so they're like targets
that things can hit you become Moody the answer is not to control the world to get what you want to avoid what you don't want seems like it's that but it's not the answer is to do some inner work and to sit there and say if the cause of my not being high of my not feeling excited not being enthused and feeling love is because I close I need to learn to stop closing that's something I can do out there I can compete with everybody else it's not easy to get what you want is it
inside there's no competition if you could solve the whole problem with no competition it's just you and you wow I'll take that one right if you learn not to close you will be open if you are open that Shakti will always flow unconditionally so now the question becomes how to not close that is the entire spiritual journey are you capable of not closing yes okay I'm not closing over anything no not right now okay let's be honest not right now are you capable of learning to not close well you learn calculus you learn how to
ride a bicycle you learn how to drive a car you learn how to play tennis you learn to play the flooge do you learn things yes or no did you know how to do them before you learned are you sure I told you my favorite saying is you walk into a college Calculus class calc 101 you sit down everybody's in there he's sitting down get the energy together the professor walks in and says okay welcome this is calculus 101. you raise your hand oh excuse me Professor I'm in the wrong room the wrong class why
I don't know any calculus that's like you telling me I don't know how not to close I wouldn't know how to do it well that's right I agree I admit it I agree but this thing called learning and is the most important thing you will ever learn your entire life why it will solve every problem you ever had in your entire life and you will never have another problem if you never close you'll never have another problem s are things that close you aren't they how come she gets turned on but you get turned off
by because she opens you close based on what past experiences so basically if you learn to not close that is worth learning that's more important than anything else you can ever learn then that's what spiritual growth is about not closing how do you learn not to close I go into it very deeply in living on Tether you don't start with the big things you have to play tennis go play Borg or the Williams sisters you'll never play tennis again for us your life if you never play the piano sit down and take on takowski or
Mozart for your first piece play again that's what you're doing with this and that's why you can't grow spiritually it's interesting well so-and-so died and I have so much trouble I don't want to meditate anymore it didn't work that's all you care about is the ones you have trouble with you're trying to be okay during those otherwise I'm okay I moved yes Right Moves no your moods matter that's where you do your work so I talk about to start with now let's talk about how to stay open you know how to stay open don't close
if you don't close you'll be open you don't know how to be open but you do have it not close you do feel yourself starting to close don't you you feel it your energy starts getting like that right and trouble as you get into it then you close all right so what you do is you start with what I call the low hanging fruit you've all heard this but it's you better hear it over and over again because you don't do it I want you to start with stuff that's so simple that you're embarrassed that
you can't do it okay it's raining out or at least it's drizzling can you handle that can handle it well good then do all right it's raining it's Thunder it's hot can you handle that is hot without closing can you handle that it's raining without closing can you handle that you're getting every traffic light on the way into town every single one is turning red when you pull up to it can you handle that why do I call low hanging fruit because you can't do anything about those it's not like I should have done this
no there's nothing you can do about it so why are you bothering yourself about it learn to let go that's called Letting Go people say I don't know what you mean but letting go yes you do you just don't want to do it okay you start to close because your ego doesn't like these events and so the next thing you know you're complaining next thing you know you're feeling off center you can work with that you work with that how relax the first thing you do is relax anything else you do until you relax you're
trying to make a stop if you're trying to make it stop I don't like the way the driver in front of me is driving he's driving 10 miles below the speed limit oh my God if you're pushing that away it's not going to go away it has to be like ramakrishna you're admitting yes I see this bothering me Let It Go Letting Go doesn't mean push it away Letting Go means letting it go let it be riding on water he wants to complain let him complain just let go let it go up relax don't resist
staying open is non-resistance letting go is non-resident no resistance is anybody ever resist anything in there you have hands in there they can push things away yes or no you know what I'm talking about you have will that's will you can push it away I don't like this push it away right relax those hands I dare you relax them when they're ready to go push away oh it's hard of course it is because your ego doesn't like the experience and I want you to protect yourself from it you do not want to protect yourself from
that which is not hurting you you don't want to protect yourself from that which you're causing to hurt you there's nothing happening with a race there's nothing happen to drive every Friday there's nothing happened with all these different things lots and billions of different things every day the only reason that are bothering you is you decided they did you decided I don't like this that's why it's bothering you if you decide you liked it it wouldn't bother you that's how you tell it's low-hanging fruit that the only reason it's bothering you is you decided it
will I don't like what she said but she said I don't know but I don't like it I don't like her body language help 90 5 to 99 of the time what you don't like about another person is because you're projecting what you would be thinking if you had said that or if you sat like that and you just realize you're projecting yourself onto everybody and then not liking things and so you just decide okay I wake up in the morning there's your son you're gonna wake up in the morning and I'm going to remind
myself I'm not going to close today or at least I'm not going to close about the little things don't make it too high you know try to play Beethoven when you're first starting plays your scales it's okay I'm telling you you just play the scales you can do it you'll make a mistake sometimes a play the scales play the scales of staying open they're going to be times that happen during your day that it gets hit stuff gets hit are you willing to try and let it go just try your best but what if I
can then you didn't I don't care what if I hit the tennis ball it goes into the net I don't want to play anymore no no no it's okay to when it's a net because you learn something you learn how to hold your wrist you learn how to swing your arm it's good that it did it's okay that you fell down it's okay that you didn't handle it it's okay to do that into a mood as long as you are doing your best throughout the day to re-center and play with it and sit there and
say I'm not going to close over these stupid little things but you think it doesn't matter I'm telling you it does matter if you ever played an instrument you have to practice it's not a waste of time it's not meaningless you will never get good at that instrument unless you practice will you you will never get good at not closing unless you practice so these things are meaningful but nobody tells you that they're too busy with the big how to handle when somebody dies how to handle when your favorite boyfriend leaves you or goes out
with some of your best friend oh I don't need you to worry about that they don't happen that often and you'll never be able to handle it if you can't handle the small stuff so if you will work with the low-hanging fruit sincerely and honestly don't just listen to this as words this is your spiritual growth well that's easy good Let It Be Easy I want it to be easy you will get better at this and therefore you won't cause yourself so much trouble you won't cause other people so much trouble hear me because you're
not fighting and struggling and getting mad so basically you work with yourself there are lots of ways to do this but I'm telling you don't make it sound like this is not worth doing this is your spiritual path if you can't do this you can't do the other if you can't play the scales you're not gonna play Beethoven if you can't handle the rain you're not going to handle hurricanes and things that happen so basically you practice doing this and you'll get better at it and you'll find out that slightly bigger things you're able to
handle because you practice God it's so stupid I feel stupid talking about it I have to sell this to you if you practice tennis you're going to get better all right if you practice letting go you're gonna get better it matters it's very important and then you do it in the morning you remind yourself that that's the meaning of my life that's the purpose of this day is to practice letting us while you're here Earth is a place of souls are sent to evolve you're not sitting here because you're perfect Earth is a place that
souls are sent to evolve this is how you evolve you practice you practice and at night you sit down okay you meditate take your time but take a moment for this and you see did I Let Go oh is there something I didn't let go of and you take a breath and say do I want to keep this with me all night and let it ingrain itself into my ego and let it be just another thing that's going to bother me tomorrow is it worth it because of the way the driver drove or because somebody
didn't say something and you say oh no I didn't let go during the day and I'm let go now and it hurts it hurts there's a reason you resisted it it hits your stuff let go every morning commit every evening renew the commitment let go if you will do that you will grow every single day you have to because you didn't take out more junk but what about all this stuff I have in there already don't worry about it don't think about it don't worry about it but sometimes it gets hit that's okay do the
best you can but do this do the ones that you're capable of doing but dare to do them and then you'll see you can do more naturally no blame no guilt if whatever if I lose it like I get in an argument with somebody that's why I'm fine that's fine that's fine just before you walked in to talk to him set her do the best you can and then when you leave the moment you get your Consciousness back like a but no there's nobody don't judge yourself don't judge them nothing it's just like a it's
just another way to let go another time to let go and you can't do anything about it anyways it's over and that will happen you'll start getting good at it and then you're going to find out that the stuff from the past uh oh full disclosure all right it starts coming up by itself nothing has to hit it nothing you're just driving your car doing no thing you start crying and stuff starts coming up you remember what mother did and this happened or that happened you become more sensitive why if you shove stuff on top
of it it can't come up now that you're not putting more on top of it it's more open to come up well I thought I was doing well and I think I'm doing terrible no you're doing wonderful you want it to come up it's blocking the flow of your shopping and what will happen when you let go to little stuff you start having nicer days people run all the time I thought he was doing great but now it's what's supposed to happen you're supposed to grow you're supposed to have bigger and bigger stuff come up
so that you can practice letting it go well what do I do with that I told you the measure of low-hanging fruit is if it wasn't bothering you there's nothing to do about it you can't do anything about the car in front he can't do anything about the weather the biggest low-hanging fruit you think is the biggest hanging fruit what your past why you can't do anything about it can you no one has ever changed the past it takes a time machine and a single thing you can do about things that bothered you in the
past the only thing you can do is make them bother you now which is pretty stupid if it happened in the past and it's not happening anymore but I don't know why you'd want to keep bringing it Forward every single thing ever bothered you and let it bother you for the rest of your life you know my example go to a restaurant eat something it didn't sit well it says I don't know something's wrong with it right well by all means ask for a doggy bag every time take it home it's a special room in
your house it's called the bad food rope okay and go in there every morning take a little taste why would I do that to remember how bad it was you do that with every bad experience you ever had don't you you keep it inside of you and keep remembering it and bringing it back up and let it bother you again but it happened to you in your psychology tells you when you're five years old things happen you're 55 they're still bothering you no I'm talking to my mother 50 years that's great you hear me because
you kept it inside of you so I call that the ultimate low hanging fruit you don't and psychology doesn't why because you started in there for so long you can't even handle the thought of it coming back up but it's flocking you're Shakti he letting this stupid stuff that's not even happening block the most beautiful part of your being and you have to avoid things all right you can't go home you can't do this can't talk to this person blah blah blah blah there are songs you can't listen to you know that all right sometimes
you say This is Our Song well that was the song you broke up on I guarantee you don't hear that song anymore okay that's how you want you have to have all these soft spots around this you have to avoid it for no reason they're not happening anymore devote yourself purification that's purification devote yourself to saying okay I'm going to start with the simple stuff and we're not going to put any more in there it's bad enough I got this stuff in here then that's what's going to start coming up good but it hurts of
course it does no pain no gain if restore with pains coming back with pain all right so we're having an honest talk here this is your life so the old stuff you want it up someday you will let go enough and that shock to will start flowing you're going to sit there and say oh my God they sound very beautiful in here and then then you reach the next parties for a journey that first part is realizing you don't need to have this junk and moves and all this crap going outside of you it's because
you stored the blockages so you don't feel the light so you work on the blockages if enough shock these starts coming up and if Energy starts coming up you like it of course you like it and you realize wait a minute there's an indirect proportional relationship between the blockages and the amount of shock that's flowing how about these things out of here now you're that's a spiritual journey not I want to get what I want not I want to get what my ego wants so it doesn't have to be bothered so I can feel good
no I want to let go of the blockages that's a devotion of my life things come my way to turn me on thank you I appreciate it things come and turn me off thank god let's learn how to let go I don't want anything to turn me off you start feeling enough energy inside it gives you the strength to say Bring it on Bring it on Robert Christian used to say Helter Skelter come with me just bring it on I don't want any you know the saying you want a piece of me right and you
say yeah here you take it I don't want it that piece of me that you hit that's nothing but a problem for me here right and I think you're giving away your junk just giving it away just let it come up give it away let it come up but how do I know it to let go of it we'll let you know you don't have to find it you have to go searching you have to do anything it will let you know it's time for it to come up it will come up by itself just
don't push it back down and don't complain about it oh my God I thought I was done with my ex-husband and I really said he's still in there oh I hate him no he's not going to come up that way you have to learn to love your stuff you have to learn to love your ex-husband who treated you terribly he was a terrible divorce to sit there and say boy you were some serious growth always something for good stuff man I mean look how hard they train for the Olympics right he put me through that
kind of training man you're you're quite the coach all right I'm so glad that I met you so glad we had this this tumultuous relationship because it it taught me how to let go and now I honor you I respect it I'm Letting Go Right yoga Shakti the saint that gave us the drug statue she sit up here very quiet in the 70s she started coming said problems are the nature of life if you got everything the way you wanted it you would not grow you would never change you would stay right where you were
you don't want that you're here to grow and so the challenges and your stuff coming up learn to welcome it at first you can but do the easy stuff first but I'll tell you eventually you will welcome it you will just sit there and feel this energy come up and say hey I ain't never going to close again this is this is beautiful and the people around you benefit because you're shedding light and you realize no no I don't know that this ego you don't look a dream you're just a blockage you're one big blockage
what I like and what I don't like and who I like and who I don't like and what I want I want to know give me a break you didn't make my life conditional I don't like to unconditional I want unconditional love unconditional peace unconditional well-being unconditional enthusiasm every minute of every day you're capable of that and so you learn to let go as you let go more it pulls out more and as you pulls up more it gives you the strength to let go more and eventually you are a Letting Go machine what did
you do today let go because I did today I let go would you go to work yeah I let go of work did you come over the family I let go to the family did you go to the kids yeah let go with the stuff they were bringing off okay and you just kind of Honor every moment of every second of your life because it's helping you grow and then I'm just going to close that I always close in the same place because you need to know this that's not high that state that's a nice
statement that's a high human but you're not human at some point it comes up enough to where it's not like I have to let go so it stops because you've let go enough to where it's nothing's drawing you down and you start realizing what is this energy it was so beautiful I got lost in it but where's it come from shakti's beautiful where is it coming from and you start getting more interested in the flow of the Shakti than you were ever interested in your ego and then ego falls off you don't pay attention to
it it just starts to fall off but then you get pulled off even more there's nothing pulling you down and eventually it feels like there's this vacuum cleaners pulling you up all the time and you realize I can't let go it's like it's almost like it's calling me to let go of it but but I'd have to die be like Christ said you have to die to be reborn and you start realizing exactly what that means that you have to let go of yourself as a sense of individual consciousness the drop falls into the ocean
does the mayor Robert said my drop of Consciousness that used to stare at me fell into the ocean find it you can't find a drop of water when you're dropping the ocean it's what we call merge Union the word yoga means Union merger that's where the great ones went that's what enlightened being is that sort of sat Guru is you're talking about my father and I are one that is your state but that's way up there all right but that's kind of nice to know there's no end to your growth there's no end to your
growth is higher and higher and higher and higher more and more beautiful and the more beautiful you become the more beautiful the world around you becomes even with all of its problems you understand that like the world where Christ lived had just as many problems that we have now that's different than what we're Buddha lives same thing but they kind of made a difference didn't they no more moods the lining malignant moods do you have booths now you know what they are and you know that they're spiritual because they show you where the blockages are
they show you where you didn't let go enough all right work on these things integrative
