Eckhart Tolle: Conscious Manifestation — Live Teaching

welcome all of you on YouTube Facebook live for the first time we've had a few technical difficulties so I'm a little bit late that was a great opportunity for course for you to be present in the moment and let's continue that before we start and perhaps look at few questions concerning conscious manifestation let's just take a moment become aware of the present moment vitally important in any endeavor that you undertake no matter what it is is not to lose your connectedness with the present moment so before you start a new enterprise a new activity always go to take a moment for awareness basically that's what it is the sometimes people ask well what is the present moment how how do you be where is it what does it even mean to become aware of the present moment and the first thing of course is that you become aware of whatever surrounds you that's the entry point into the present moment a very easy entry point into a present moment awareness some people may call it mindfulness is to become more aware of whatever surrounds you here now sense perceptions just be with what is give it attention some attention the room you're sitting in maybe there's a window you can look out of the window you can see trees behind me I can't see them I know they are there this is you enter the present moment by becoming more aware of sense perceptions auditory visual and perhaps others and of course what that does you might notice is there's less mental noise the voice in the head that speaks and speaks that talks to you that you have a dialogue with a monologue that comments and interprets and takes positions mental positions that identifies with likes dislikes never stops talking that's the mind the the voice in the head that most people are completely identified with and that means they are not present so the first step is take some attention away from that by simply becoming aware of sense perceptions and if you can look at something natural that's even better because the natural thing a tree a flower a plant the sky a natural thing lends itself to a present moment awareness more than a man-made human-made thing so anything natural that you can look at for a moment focus on and give it attention acknowledge it you don't need to think about it so it's just come away of the present moment through sensory perception and already if you can't do that if perhaps a few minutes before you were very much immersed in the problem making mind it wasn't actually solving any problem because this continuous mind activity actually creates more problem than it solves if it's not focused it's unconscious so already suddenly there's a certain amount of peace that descends from this is the world your world it becomes a bit more peaceful you become aware of the aliveness of things and then the next step for present moment awareness yes you become aware of yourself now that's very important too because let's see foundation for the entire world whatever the world that you experience you experience it through yourself so and whatever you manifest in this world you manifest through yourself now what does it mean to become aware of yourself no you might be tempted to think that's you start thinking about your life you and your life and of course that's very problematic your past your future or you can think about things that you identify ways the huge problems the world is facing but that's not becoming aware of yourself becoming aware of yourself is something more vital something deeper then aware of your historical self all your memories all your expectations for the future none of that is really becoming aware of yourself because those are thoughts you become aware of the simple fact that you are here as a conscious presence that's very much inextricably linked with what we call the present moment now this may seem strange at first you becoming aware of yourself as a conscious presence no need to remember who you are beyond the fact that you are becoming aware of the i am-ness of yourself for those of you who haven't never heard of this it might seem a little strange become aware that even if you do not remember your past at all you're who you are as a historical person what is left of you if you do not remember who you eyes or historical person if you don't think about yourself what's left is a certain inner spaciousness opens up that replaces the usual activity of continuous mental noise thinking a spacious awareness opens up and you cannot say much about it you can't analyze it you simply be aware that you are that there is a presence that is inseparable from who you are either sort or stillness there that's part of that presence but it's not an asleep stillness it's not the stillness that you find when did we getting tired it's an alert stillness and that is the core of what we call present moment awareness so you're not really aware of the present moment because the awareness is the present moment beyond sense perceptions that was a starting point and then you go deeper and you simply become aware of yourself as consciousness a still alert presence there's a lot more one could say about it but this is just our starting point for today the important thing is once you have had even a glimpse of it as much as possible reconnect with that as you go about your daily life as you are engaged in activities as you speak to people interact with people as you interact with people on media social media etc as much as possible reconnect and have find these moments of alert stillness alert still presents and that becomes then the foundation for everything you do and that's that another word for that is spiritual awakening youth now you're spiritually awakened begins with little just just a glimpse of awareness of yourself that the awareness that there's something deep in you then the person with its history that awareness is a direct realization it is not something that is conceptual that frees you from what we call the ego which is all the conditioning of your mental emotional field all the things you identify with and then you derive your sense of who you are from a deeper place within and that's an enormous liberation and then you can operate in this world in a much more effective way and you can operate in this world in a way that is much more beneficial for yourself and humanity you can then profit from that foundation we can talk about manifestation if you manifest from that foundation rather than manifest from the usual sense of identity that is exclusively derived from the ego which is the thinking mind the narrative that most people identify with as me that's me and the narrative of me is partly personal and partly collective these are energy streams that let what we call thought our energy formations that are invisible and these energy formations are like could be compared to ripples on the surface of being that's the thought activity and humans who have no awareness of this deeper dimension they are trapped on the level of the surface level of the movement of energy forms that we call thoughts and emotions so that's your mind is and whatever happens in your mind is conditioned by your surroundings and by your past so-called past so humans are literally possessed in the absence of awareness they are literally possessed by the thought forms that go through their mind and so they can they're partly as I say partly personal partly collective and sometimes they are relatively harmless and at other times they can be like a viral infection on a mental level and you don't even know what's happening to you when violent mass movements happen human unconsciousness expressing itself collectively through violence that means humans are at the mercy completely possessed by these energy formations that have taken possession of them and they don't even know it sometimes you know it in some you perhaps oh no perhaps even from your own experience now sometimes one sort can take possession of your mind and it refuses to go away and it proliferate it creates other related thoughts in your mind and you suddenly become obsessive with something and some people live like that they have their in possessed by one particular mind form and the interpret the entire world through the screen off that mind phone and everything suddenly they have an explanation for everything because everything is interpreted through that screen sometimes it's a mental illness it gets close to mental illness but you have 12 you're paranoid and so on then everybody suddenly becomes your enemy so you free yourself from that ultimately without awareness thinking can even good things in your mind can very quickly turn become amplified and turn it into something very unconscious and destructive so always returning to that deeper dimension let's start with the first question let's see when it comes to conscious manifestation my interest at this point is not in manifesting anything for myself personally but in wanting to help manifest a world that is more peaceful and just for everyone can how you teach conscious manifestation help with that good question relevant manifesting a world there is more just I think that was the word they were more peaceful and just for everyone well that would be a it's a good aim now ultimately of course what you experience as the world is intrinsically one with your consciousness the only place where you experience the world is in your consciousness philosophers have even questioned whether there actually is a world out there independent of conscious perception we don't need to go there but there's no doubt that the entire world happens inside you one could sa --- te of consciousness what are your predominant emotions what are your the predominant thoughts that go through your mind it's vitally important to become aware of that if you're not aware of what the predominant emotions are that the predominant thoughts are plus accompanying emotions that go through your mind you are unaware and the the emotions that these thoughts and emotions that arise continuously within you are a form of conditioning and so they take possession of you so it's vitally important as the starting point for changing the world is to become aware of your world your team how do you operate in this world how are your relationships is there a lot of antagonism is there there grievances and a lot of conflict are there many people that you hate are they more people that you'd like or love is there laughs compassion or not so much how do you relate to people how do you relate to strangers that you meet in a shop in store how do you mail a to somebody meet in an elevator how all these things are part of what you manifest as your world so it's how do you manage what is the predominant energy that you manifest in your life that affects other humans it is a very important starting point at it of course is expressed in the famous saying be the change that you want to see in this world nobody knows who actually said that some people say Gandhi said it we could have said it but he probably said something similar I don't think he said that literally but it doesn't matter it's a it's a it's a very important pointer the very important thought be the change that you want to see in the world so change starts with you and that means your consciousness your state of conscious what is become aware of your mind what is how much complaining do you do useless complaining not a no not a sort of complaining that can actually bring about change but useless complaining about Pete other people and groups of people and pronouncing half of humanity to be evil whatever it is be aware of your mind vitally important what kinds of thoughts are there and once you the ability to become aware of your mind what kinds of thoughts your mind is producing once it grows that means there's more awareness in you it's more presence in you another dimension of consciousness has arisen so be conscious how how do you what do you bring into this world on a daily basis do you bring more loving kindness compassion other humans empathy a friend a quiet word even to strangers to do the do you acknowledge every other human be human being that you meet even even if you meet them only casually do you acknowledge the being of that human beyond the inter beyond what were all this human play plays with in that brief interaction somebody sells you something you're asking somebody for information whatever it may be so are you do you acknowledge the beingness of the other if only for a few seconds giving it attention see that is beyond the personality there's something deeper giardia briefly up to you to you can you sense the the being here that ultimately means the sacredness of other of every human no matter what their personality displays next question is observe are you at the mercy of how other people behave around you do you react or are you at the mercy or toffs of situations or circumstances now what do I mean when I say at the mercy of it means somebody's angry at you somebody's the world is full of people who have very angry and frustrated yeah they may perhaps they are justified in being angry because life is difficult so one can always justify anger and frustration and grievances of course every all the on the conventional level often these things are justified but what now what do you you meet somebody who's angry says something angered you from driving for example somebody shouts at you what how do you are you aware enough not to be drawn into the same energy that the other person manifests are you able to simply stay clear and present not easy so how do you but you can only change the world is by not react reacting in the same way in which the world impinges upon you or treats you throughout through humans so you have to be more aware than that and so that's your the world change is when your state of consciousness is no longer determined by other people's state of consciousness that you may meet all no that's that really is a big change already if your state of mental emotional state is no longer determined but somebody else's mental emotional state that's a huge awakening and there because as long as your emotional state mental emotional state is determined by other somebody else's mental emotional state that you in Eastern terms it means it's a perpetuation , so there's no freedom in that so you can if somebody's nice to you you're nice to him or her okay but if summer is not nice to you what happens Jesus was talking about something similar it's easy to be nice to someone jesus said this is a big paraphrase because I don't remember literal passages from the Bible he said it's easy to be nice to others were nice to you but what about those that are not nice to you that's what really matters it doesn't mean of course if you become a doormat or you don't have nothing to do with that in fact I said great in a power and strengths that arises when did you when you're no longer continuously reactive that is really weakness so if you become angry when somebody's angry at you the ego regards this as power you have compensated for feeling of having been diminished by somebody's attack verbal attack of criticism the ego feels diminished to me sometimes it happens when they drive because I'm relatively slow most of the time and sometimes people shout at me and say you idiot okay that's and then I look at them now they expecting me to shout back but I don't do that anymore it's happened too often so it's too unpleasant I don't need it I don't feel diminished by somebody saying you idiot it's just that's his or her state of consciousness manifesting through words at the moment that's so fine and then they just look at them and sometimes they become even more disconcerted because there's a lack of reaction or they might think I'm completely deaf maybe I'm deaf I can't hear what they're saying just a little example but it's amazing for example how traffic it's a simple thing can make people unconscious so the moment they get behind the wheel they become reactive in unconscious and take everything personally so it can be funny it's good sometimes if you can laugh at the ego but if you want to change the world you have to start with yourself what what is it that you emanate it's not only what you emanate through words and actions it's even what you emanate energetically every human being if you are a little bit sensitive then you can sense that every human being has a certain energy emanation that's part of manifesting the world that you experience because so you see it through the lens or the veil of all the conditioning within you the mental emotional and even energetic conditioning within you so you can you meet people who are you can sense that they are in a state of unhappiness it's a generic term that could mean many things they in a state of ultimately suffering because even a person who is angry is really suffering they don't know they're suffering but it's an unpleasant state and it affects the body it it that's that kind of stress that anger represents effects the harmonious functioning of the body the immune system the heart blood circulation everything so it's not it's not only not ultimately not pleasant it's harmful first example to your body sample to other human beings honestly I immune and so if they are immune to the negative emanation from another human being now you can't do that through a vaccine that's the kind of immunity there that can alter that immunity is awareness presence so you're not at the mercy of other humans you are free you may not succeed every time because humans can be very difficult not you just other humans so humans can be really difficult and you might have noticed when you are interacting with humans and you have discussions another interesting fact you might notice that you are always right and the others are always wrong it's a very strange fact and if that's the case in your life you have to wonder for among us isn't that strange I'm always right wow I must be Superman or superwoman or you're very unconscious it's one or the other so self self-knowledge is the most difficult knowledge it's rhesus was already talking about that he said it's easy to see the Splinter that is in somebody else's eye and sighs look at the splint and your eye let me remove it for you but you can't see the beam it is in your own eye that's a huge thing is in you but use you see there what's wrong with the other that's easy and wrong means unconscious but to see your own patterns that's the challenge but if you don't you cannot manifest because that is the starting point for manifesting a better world and then it spreads out from there so the the it's throw the essence of what I'm saying here is become conscious of the fact that often you are at the mercy of other people or situations and your state of mind or your emotional state is completely controlled and reactive so it's so I mentioned human beings that you react to you when you know it's also situations you find yourself in a situation that is suddenly you're a god it is undesirable you are and and that is nowadays very common thing because many people for months have been trapped at home and can't interact with people anymore except through the technology so many ma --- e collective mind before we invented this technology all humans could Jewish what they can shout it somebody in the street but you can only reach one or two or three people or you could swap maybe you could stand on the soapbox in Hyde Park Ron and London and give a speech but even then you only had a few people listening to you but now even the most unconscious person will have an audience he or she will in fact similarly unconscious people on Twitter and other platforms and so as you know one wrong tweet can destroy your entire career so this is the certain the the every age in every age the time period human unconsciousness manifests in somewhat different ways and it's easier when you look back on the past age we can see Oh weren't they crazy to do something like that how could humans do something like that it's it it's more difficult to become aware of the craziness in your own time period because you're in the middle of it retrospectively it's easier to see the craziness so you make sure to create a better world they do not participate in the craziness of this world to be very don't be at the mercy of others price your state of consciousness is concerned and you can only do that by being present more and more always connecting with that loudness but the very key word be alert so that you know what's going on in your mind and in your emotion don't repress anything just know and that will gradually dissolve this luncheon or patterns and you still feel drawn back in that's fine so this is the beginning of changing the world on your personal fear and then if you can then interact through the media various internet platforms you can put out something that is more beneficial than you already begin to affect a larger sphere you have a lot everybody has a sphere of influence through these platforms here and what is it but what you put out through your sphere of influence so there's a great opportunity for something that in many many cases is is quite insane but it is also a great opportunity from for actually help to elevate with human consciousness so that is your great opportunity no matter how you do it and then we come to the larger sphere political social institutions and so on how do you how do you change that outtie how do you diminish the suffering of so many humans on the planet well you could you continue to you no longer contribute to the suffering of others so to some extent you have to allow humans to evolve humanity is evolving the consciousness of humanity is evolving and it is it's vitally important to bring healing and compassion and so on to all your interactions whether at home online or wherever you go and if you want to participate in political discourse maybe want to stand to run for office somewhere who knows you need to be really conscious if you decide to do that and you may feel called upon to do that and then it becomes you've already in your own past and life you're already practicing not being reactive not being at the mercy of other people's state of consciousness and then you can bring that into the that's wider weight greatest fear of political structures and so on if that's what you choose to do but you also need to realize that humanity is as I said before is a work in progress so humans are slowly evolving into towards more consciousness the entire universe is in the is engaged in an awakening process and you are part of the awakening process of the universe you can see it on the the planet how great clearly from very simple life-form straddle II grew became more complex then they were destroyed there were many five was five extinctions already then they were destroyed and new life-forms arose from well where did they arise from from an underlying field of vast intelligence that that then manifests through with physical forms gradually manifests more fully gradually manifests in more complex life forms that have a great greater share of consciousness but it's always the one consciousness moving through so have compassion with humans a lot of the suffering that humans experience is created by other humans just read history history book and you see how dreadful suffering humans have inflicted on other humans throughout history 20th century alone we've now become very much the last few its present I'm very much conscious of racial suffering that humans have suffered from tremendous suffering that humans inflicted on other humans and it's great that we've become aware of it now instead of before just it was just you nobody could talk about it it was so not throughout history slavery wasn't accepted fact they nobody seemed to question it consciousness had not yet developed enough but now consciousness is developing and become aware of it it's a wonderful thing as long as the water rises that doesn't isn't it's they they sometimes the danger that even realizations can be hijacked by the ego so to speak and when you know that something has been hijacked by the ego is when you demonize others for example because the ego loves to demonize our us so be very careful with its Barry so that you don't you get dragged into the gravitational pull of the ego drags you back into unconsciousness we living at a time is very challenging but also time of opportunity nobody can predict right now whether we are going to experience a regression in state of consciousness but every regression in the evolution of consciousness is actually part of the evolution of consciousness or if we can go from here straight to a more conscious society more conscious world but you won't have to go through this evolutionary process in not every human is at the same stage of evolutionary if you have to be compassionate with people who are not yet evolving that could be your parents if you become compassionate with when you go to your you visit your parents and they've trapped in the same patterns that they were already twenty years ago and the same they criticize you in the same way they always do the and you realize they are trapped in there in their patterns and you have compassion and you allow humans to go through their patterns and even in some cases you even have to allow humans who insist to go through their own self created suffering you do as much as you can to help to bring more awareness into this world to bring love ultimately not not conventional love but the deeper the love that that recognizes every other human as inseparable from who you are so to recognize the other as ultimately not separate from you as that is true love love what that is that nothing else create well curry will redeem the world and create a better world we need humans to be able to access the dimension from which love can flow and laugh means what the Dalai Lama calls kindness it's the same thing what he really is talking about his love so he can tell them I said my read he didn't say strangely my religion is Buddhism the Dalai Lama said my religion is kindness so the is really pointing to the essence of what the trans and that kindness is manifests as compassion and love empathy and also manifests as wisdom wisdom is very important when we it's not just intelligence its wisdom is something deeper that sees the totality of things it doesn't attack one problem and but then create three more problems it's the solution to one problem creates three big even bigger problems that applying only the intellectual analysis so intense conventional intelligence wisdom sees the totality and then takes action on the basis of that let's see another question is there some type of discipline that is needed to be successful its conscious manifestation if so can you describe or the discipline is that is needed well basically I have already described the discipline that's needed for in your daily life to be able to be aware of yourself and of your own state of consciousness also an important factor perhaps that is implied in what we've been saying but it's worth pointing it out explicitly is the importance of what is conventionally called gratitude but there could be other words gratitude is a very powerful transformational tool and also one of the most powerful tools for manifesting better things in your life now what does that mean the gratitude is to to acknowledge the good in your life now and you be surprising how many people don't do that who can only see the bad in their life so only complain but it's a extremely powerful to acknowledge the goods that's in your life now now let's talk about this for a moment the this does not mean that you have a conceptual idea of what your life is and then you compare it to somebody else's life and you say oh really I should be happy because I have it so much better then look at these people they are saved they're like this voice and mind so I should really should be grateful for my life that's not it that's not real gratitude there let me yeah you're moving within the concepts around and your feeling of well-being is dependent on somebody else as less than you are suffering more than you so gratitude is not if you compare yourself that's a misconception very common misconception of gratitude is you compare yourself to somebody else or even a whole group of people so you look at people in the third world I really should be great flesh we are so much better off even though I may be poor but I'm still better off than feed so let's be grateful no that's not real gratitude you're depending on others to be worse off than huge but you can feel gratitude it's crazy it's which feeds the ego no karate to you it is to acknowledge the good that's in your life now now this moment okay it's not the good in your l --- your attention they also get the energy that you emanate there and they will feel better while the you are cutting their hair I'm just giving one example I could give thousands of examples they feel in that moment they feel you're can you listen to them we acknowledge that they're not just a client you acknowledge their beingness I always say the human being as a tutor I mentioned the human is the condition with the history the being is the unconditioned so that's the consciousness that you are that is the transcendent I mention if you don't know that your life is the most frustrating experience you might have noticed that without that realization of the deeper dimension of who you are you all you experience is one damn thing after another it's always oh my god not another thing so the hairdresser now everybody who comes into that yes they're getting a good haircut let's presume you're a good hairdresser and that's important too on the human level but they they there's something else that you provide and that is the Lavi laughs man can say to acknowledge every well the beingness of every human and perhaps some address SP after a few years become very good counselors because they've listened to so many stories and suddenly they can actually give good advice it doesn't matter what the form is that your manifestation take but make sure that it is aligned in some way with the evolving consciousness so thought so you bring something good into this world you make a contribution you bring more goodness into this world in one way or another even if you go there it is you make if you're very good at something let's you're good at sports or something and and then people love to like to watch you buy to people as something that's why do people watch the tennis match it's always the same thing they say just not that it's a ball and then it goes on for hours but it can be very vague it's by are they so excited by this well on the one hand yes they they have they have a favorite I have a favor one or the other and that gives is an egoic thing but I believe they also find it fascinating because the people are if they are masters in tennis playing they are in a state or a absolute presence where they play and somehow it's it's lovely to watch people I'm into is it field or the zone of mastery and because something almost transmits itself it doesn't mean that these tennis player are necessarily more conscious than others in the rest of their lives we don't know but bother engaged in their the activities that they have mastered absolutely there is thing you can somehow absorb a little bit of that presence it's great to watch so I occasionally watch super not very often lieutenant I can sense why people there's the two reasons why people watch it one they won't want their favorite to win but there's a deeper reason that is the there's something almost transmits itself this presence can be contagious almost and again here we come to an important point when you when you are present that also affects many many others that you come into contact with it's contagious in a positive sense it transmitted there's a transmission of presence and they can even be a transmissions of presence in some miraculous way through the screen right now Wow is that possible these are just well it's possible because the screen is in your consciousness who knows where there's actually a screen out there but the screen is something that arises in your consciousness so even there it can work so whatever it is you man if want to manifest in this life go ahead but realize the foundation for manifestation is I call it the vertical dimension it's the cross life has the two dimensions the vertical which is the present moment which is the depths of who you are in the essence of a being that is who you are in the essence of your being is already complete you don't need to become a better person in the essence of your being you just need to manifest into this horizontal world more of the essence of your being so on the deepest level this you cannot improve upon anything of who you are but on the horizontally of the two don't across the two dimensions on the horizontal they simple what you can do but it is not ultimately beneficial in the absence of the vertical but if the vertical is there then that more and more from there which is consciousness can flow into the horizontal dimension and that's how you create a better world that's is that is a miracle and that's this that is the secret and that is your task to in this what else that's the purpose of your life I mean that doesn't matter what form it takes it could be simplest things may utility be acknowledged the good that's already there and if you're not if you feel there's much more that you could do on the horse yes there probably is but in the meantime let's say you deliver we had a meal delivered yesterday to door - so they noticed there was a brief interaction I opened the door and some before they just left it at the door Co virus thing but I opened the door and for five seconds I interacted with the - I they call them the we will work for door - they bring food from restaurants in case you don't know the we interacted for there was a moment of interaction and I could sense a connectedness he he loved interacting with me for these few seconds and I loved him he wasn't a daughter shy he was them there was the being behind it and I acknowledged his being and through that he family he felt very good just looking at me it's nothing to do with me as a person at all and it was a lovely lovely encounter for a few seconds so and if your daughter sir for a while by not practice that not most many people that you deliver food to will not be probably not acknowledge your being but it doesn't mean you cannot acknowledge their being so for as long as you do that I can be even there you can bring more consciousness into this world no matter where you are what you're at instead of complaining that you really should be doing something more interesting yes perhaps you will be doing something more interesting but a starting point is acknowledge the good that's here now then you're much more likely to evolve the situation is much more likely to evolve from there but if you are in a continued state of resistance to what is now you're much more likely to be stuck for a long time if not forever as you know the famous saying goes what you resist persists which is of course very true so alignment with universal purpose universal purpose is consciousness bring more that and this consciousness manifests as an emanation of kindness love compassion a sense of deep connectedness and it also manifests as wisdom when you use your mind so that it's not just the conditioned mind its operating there's actually an awareness behind it and the conditioned mind is then inspired by the deeper consciousness that's behind it of which is it is an inseparable part it's inspired to them by the deeper core and then the mind is a lovely - or - you can create through the mind but you can only create if if you have accessed real creativity we need access to that deeper dimension that is transcendent to the mind not separate from it in again the analogy I used again is the thinking mind could be like the ripple on the surface and then there's the ocean of which sip of which the ripple is only a temporary expression it's all so that life is once you realize that then any situation is fine for the time being any situation that you're in and the more you're aligned with the present moment the more likely it is that the situation will evolve and change to reflect your growing consciousness that's a miracle of being alive and that's why you're here so the the picture is not stuck I just stopped talking just wanted to make sure you know I have probably said enough the rest is up to you many of these things I said you already knew and if you didn't know them in your conscious mind there was a kind of recognition it suddenly made you know that makes sense somehow you knew that already so the truth is always recognized it's not something new that you learn perhaps you hadn't realized it's the truth is realized recognized and then there may be others who are not yet ratified that's fine there may be some people who said oh somebody had said to a friend rep so you must listen to this guy a cat he might have something to say and then some the friend looks what the hell is he talking about so it's fine not everybody's yet ready for the next step in evolution usually it means that means they need to suffer a little bit more mostly self-created unconsciously that's also part of the evolutionary process of the universe so the the rest is up to you it is a wonderful adventure you know you don't need to seek for satisfaction on the personal level this comes as a by-product quite often satisfaction on the personal level comes on the horizontal level comes as the icing on the cake or the byproduct of something that something deeper than that something that happens through you that you don't you can't claim I did that it happens through you and then the the person the personal sense of self they might feel it oh it's it's nice to have but if it claims possessions as I did let you fall back into illusion as a separate self you you you cannot do anything it's a separate self as Jesus said I of my own set or my own self can do nothing it is the father that does it through me what's the father the Eman the consciousness that emanates from the source of all life that is called God thank you I would see you again perhaps soon but always in the present moment you you
