Other than Vernon Howard and Kosho Uchiyama this is probably the clearest teaching I have ever heard on how to let go of the “mind secretions”…stories that cause us and those around us so much suffering. The depth, directness and elegance in which you share and “point to” is amazing. In deep gratitude. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Check out jiddu Krishnamurti pointing out a lot on how our thinking plays tricks on us, making us believe in a separate self beyond being just a living being. So simple and clear that it's too obvious for our storytelling mind to grasp and accept as not a personal opinion, but simply true. Having to have and possess opinions is another part of the storytelling.
Thank you Hans. Often when an unexpected person or event appears in front of me, there is a brief moment that I an aware of standing next to myself witnessing the event without attachment of feeling but rather fascinated wonder. As the years have gone bye now, it takes longer for me to roll back into the physical me engaging in this event. It must appear to the other person as an awkward moment for the physical me they are interacting with. As of lately though, I care not of their thoughts or reactions. This leads to my desire to withdraw from most unenlightened interactions as quite frankly I am tired of being an actor. Were I to engage more often with the story, my character would be laughing at inappropriate moments at the pure absurdity of the script and storyline. Thank you for listening to my words, the sense of these teachings bring much wisdom but also an adjusting of abilities to interact with surrounding story.
Storytelling led to mythology and culture. We are driven to tell stories, to compare our interpretation of reality with others, in order to determine what is real.
Excellent, Hans! Just a side note: there is no 'unnecessary' suffering. All suffering is necessary and ultimately leads to awakening. You can only suffer if you are convinced you are a person (instead of the invulnerable consciousness in which it appears). After awakening it is seen that the personal perspective is erroneous hence suffering becomes simply impossible. Looking back it is seen that all suffering was (and is) as illusory as the seemingly separate person. As in any dream.
There is that perspective, too. It is another story, but true from that perspective. Just as there are no mistakes, only learning what we didn't know before.
That's an assumption. As experienced that way. The way we learn. Maybe we can learn without the trigger of suffering and make much of it.... unnecessary. 90 % of all misery on this planet is human made. That points to questioning how we deal with our intelligence.
@@lindaraereneau484 It is not just another story, another perspective, although your mind (ego) will tell you so. Your ego doesn't like this 'story' because it knows that as soon as you realize that it is true, the ego will start to die. If you still think it is just a story and not reality, point out the differences to us.
@@annelbeab8124 It is not an assumption, it is reality. Suffering is a scale, from slight irritation to the worst you can imagine. Not 90% but 100% of misery is human made: it is all in your mind because suffering requires the mind resisting 'what is' and subsequently you believing that story. That only flies if you believe you are a person instead of realizing you are consciousness in which the person (and everything 'else') appears. As in any dream.

🙏♥️🌻
Never far away from the next story. May they at least be funny. Tatata, tatata, life goes on yeah (the Beatles). Thank you my dear storyteller ❤
🫶☺️🙏
Beautiful story told by a storyteller. Was very effective…
🙃♥️🙏
I have such wondrous stories weaving themselves into existence and then emptying themselves into no thing.

I'm reminded 0f a phrase I use as an antidote " My mind is the most dangerous thing i face each day," & "Beware the power of the story"
"The mind is not your enemy although it is the cause of all your problems" Sailor Bob Adamson.
Thank you 🙏 ❤
You are welcome my friend. 🙏♥️

In the end, what stands between you and what is real, is the stories.... 🌻
