Transcript from about 46.13 - Relax. - 'What? I can't make IT relax!' - I didn't tell IT to relax, I told You to relax. You in there that experienced that this stuff came up inside of you. Take a breath. Put your hands to your side. Relax your heart. Relax and just let it go. Where will it go? It will pass through, just like everything else does. Everything passes through until you stop it. Don't stop it. Whoa, takes some practice learning how to do that. It's not easy at first, is it? Why? You're trying to protect yourself from it. What you're doing is pushing it back down. That's how it got there. You know somebody made fun of you because you dropped something when you were in kindergarten, you hear me, and now you stored all that garbage. So, instead you reverse the process. You say ‘I can handle this’ and you relax and next thing you know. over time, you will learn that there's a distance between you the Consciousness that is experiencing the reactive energy and you learn, eventually, you'll become a Letting Go machine. The minute it starts to come up you relax and eventually, and some people don't understand this, but I like when they do, not only do you relax but you realize there's some space now between the energy coming up and you experiencing it. Then the moment you can feel it going up and relax, lean back. What does that mean? It's three-dimensional in there guys. It's not just what you're staring at there's a whole universe inside of you. Above, behind, why not? You're two-dimensional, one-dimensional! staring at your stuff. When you learn to let go you realize - I can lean back. Just lean back. That's all. I beg you lean back. It's nice back there. It's quiet back there. It's beautiful back there and eventually you'll get to stay back there and your whole life will change. You don't have to get pulled down to this stuff and all of a sudden it becomes easy to let go because not only do I not have to go down to the garbage but I get to stay in the Bliss. I get to stay in the Shakti. I get to stay in the beauty of the peace that's inside. and you start voting for that and it gets high. I told you in the end they'll go higher right. That's high. That's very beautiful. They say that the nature of self is Sat Chit Ananda, - Eternal, Conscious, Ecstasy. You'll start to feel that. Not think it. Not try. You’ll start to feel more joy than you've ever felt in your entire life. Why? Because that's where the joy came from! You felt Joy because you got what you wanted, and your mind shut up, and your heart opened and so you're able to feel energy flow. Now you're feeling it at its Source, and it doesn't go away. If you don't leave it, it doesn't leave you! It's a true statement okay. It's there, it's always been there the entire time, but you've been leaving it by staring at your stuff. It pulls you in. So, you start practicing and leaning back and it gets stronger and stronger and stronger. Meditation helps, things help, techniques help stay back there, but it's not about the technique, it's about your ability to let go of what would have pulled you away, and eventually it's not strong enough anymore to pull you away and then you start to really go deep. Then it starts to show you, I told you that last time, it starts to pull you up. This stuff’s not pulling you down. As you let go of enough and it keeps letting go, there's nothing pulling you down, and it starts to pull you up and you just feel this tremendous pull inside, intoxicating you, pulling you up, and where the great ones went, which are the pictures on the wall and others, all right, is they let go. That's the ultimate letting go. They died to be reborn. They let go of their personal sense of individuality and they merged back into God. Back into the universe. Back into who they are. You are the universe. Your Consciousness is…. Everywhere the ocean is, is the ocean. Every drop of the ocean is the ocean. Every drop of Consciousness is Consciousness. That's what is back there. That's God, Consciousness and your drop of Consciousness is just a drop of that Consciousness that can fall back into the whole and that's what yoga means Union, Oneness. So, there's the work. Now you understand, Earth is a place where Souls are sent to evolve. Everyday, every moment of your life you are given an opportunity for Liberation. Liberation from what? From yourself! From the bondage of what you stored in there. Is it work? It's wonderful work. The artists look how much energy they put into making a piece of art. Look how much intellect people put in solving something, right. You're taking on the highest task that could possibly exists, Self-realization. Finding the secret of the whole universe. Who are you? Where did you come from. These are answerable questions but not through your mind. Through direct experience.
I've wondered why we have this burden of keeping our ego out of driving our life, if it's a goal to have an ego which we aren't distracted by constantly, are we really the most evolved life form on earth? What's the point of this ego in this top of the food chain vessel we inhabit? My dog appears to live in the moment perpetually, he does get bothered by my shortcomings, he doesn't dwell on my absence when I'm gone for weeks at a time and just seems happy as ever being with my son when I'm gone. Sure, he prefers to be with me when I'm around... But what makes us so evolved, considering how miserable we become when someone (and even some thing) we love is gone? It's laughable how temperamental a human can become plagued with some triviality from the past or how preoccupied we become anticipating something from the future - which will never even happen in the manner we're so focused for it to unfold? Can we really be the most important specimen in this realm? The point of life of humans on this earth is to evolve our souls, become okay with reality ...just like a dog, and every other specimen alive on earth? Now this makes some interesting logical sense but only if we start as humans and work ourselves to manage and look past our myopic ego to be reborn as a dog? 🤣 Oh dear, one day I'll be a master of my consciousness and find myself reborn as an olive tree... Existing for hundreds of years providing my fruits to be consumed by the various other life forms and be in blissful perpetual sollice for the time I'm well and alive in a constant meditative state being an olive tree in the wild or in a controlled grove by those not quite so evolved human prodding and clipping me regularly to fulfill a single purpose prescribing my existence and purpose.
What is True? What is non finite? What is non temporal? What is not a thought? Not a word? Not an image? Not a concept? No self is true self. No Thing Forever. Scribbles on the sand forever.
I am the light of the world.
That is my only function.
That is why I am here.

Transcript from about 46.13 - Relax. - 'What?
I can't make IT relax!' -
I didn't tell IT to relax, I told You to relax.
You in there that experienced that this stuff came up inside of you.
Take a breath. Put your hands to your side.
Relax your heart. Relax and just let it go.
Where will it go?
It will pass through, just like everything else does.
Everything passes through until you stop it.
Don't stop it. Whoa, takes some practice learning how to do that. It's not easy at first, is it?
Why? You're trying to protect yourself from it.
What you're doing is pushing it back down. That's how it got there.
You know somebody made fun of you because you dropped something when you were in kindergarten, you hear me, and now you stored all that garbage.
So, instead you reverse the process.
You say ‘I can handle this’ and you relax and next thing you know. over time, you will learn that there's a distance between you the Consciousness that is experiencing the reactive energy and you learn, eventually, you'll become a Letting Go machine.
The minute it starts to come up you relax and eventually, and some people don't understand this, but I like when they do,
not only do you relax but you realize there's some space now
between the energy coming up and you experiencing it.
Then the moment you can feel it going up and relax, lean back.
What does that mean?
It's three-dimensional in there guys.
It's not just what you're staring at there's a whole universe inside of you. Above, behind, why not?
You're two-dimensional, one-dimensional! staring at your stuff.
When you learn to let go you realize - I can lean back.
Just lean back. That's all.
I beg you lean back.
It's nice back there.
It's quiet back there.
It's beautiful back there and eventually
you'll get to stay back there
and your whole life will change.
You don't have to get pulled down to this stuff
and all of a sudden it becomes easy to let go
because not only do I not have to go down to the garbage
but I get to stay in the Bliss.
I get to stay in the Shakti.
I get to stay in the beauty of the peace that's inside.
and you start voting for that and it gets high.
I told you in the end they'll go higher right. That's high.
That's very beautiful.
They say that the nature of self is Sat Chit Ananda,
- Eternal, Conscious, Ecstasy.
You'll start to feel that. Not think it. Not try.
You’ll start to feel more joy than you've ever felt in your entire life. Why?
Because that's where the joy came from!
You felt Joy because you got what you wanted, and your mind shut up, and your heart opened and so you're able to feel energy flow.
Now you're feeling it at its Source, and it doesn't go away.
If you don't leave it, it doesn't leave you!
It's a true statement okay.
It's there, it's always been there the entire time, but you've been leaving it by staring at your stuff.
It pulls you in. So, you start practicing and leaning back and it gets stronger and stronger and stronger.
Meditation helps, things help, techniques help stay back there, but it's not about the technique, it's about your ability to let go of what would have pulled you away, and eventually it's not strong enough anymore to pull you away and then you start to really go deep.
Then it starts to show you, I told you that last time, it starts to pull you up.
This stuff’s not pulling you down.
As you let go of enough and it keeps letting go, there's nothing pulling you down, and it starts to pull you up and you just feel this tremendous pull inside, intoxicating you, pulling you up,
and where the great ones went, which are the pictures on the wall and others, all right, is they let go. That's the ultimate letting go. They died to be reborn.
They let go of their personal sense of individuality and they merged back into God.
Back into the universe.
Back into who they are.
You are the universe. Your Consciousness is….
Everywhere the ocean is, is the ocean.
Every drop of the ocean is the ocean.
Every drop of Consciousness is Consciousness.
That's what is back there.
That's God, Consciousness and your drop of Consciousness is just a drop of that Consciousness that can fall back into the whole and that's what yoga means
Union, Oneness.
So, there's the work.
Now you understand, Earth is a place where Souls are sent to evolve.
Everyday, every moment of your life you are given an opportunity for Liberation.
Liberation from what? From yourself!
From the bondage of what you stored in there.
Is it work? It's wonderful work.
The artists look how much energy they put into making a piece of art.
Look how much intellect people put in solving something, right. You're taking on the highest task that could possibly exists,
Self-realization. Finding the secret of the whole universe.
Who are you?
Where did you come from.
These are answerable questions but not through your mind. Through direct experience.
I have never read something so beautiful in my entire life.
True poetry at its most pure.
“You’ll start to feel it, not just think it” …

Shit is nuts
What is True? What is non finite? What is non temporal? What is not a thought? Not a word? Not an image? Not a concept? No self is true self. No Thing Forever. Scribbles on the sand forever.
