When in the water, if you trust yourself and let go, you will float
FAITH
DETACHMENT
If you try to be as you are on land you will drown
BELIEF
ATTACHMENT - Clinging on to things
If you clutch at water, you immediately lose it. If you cup it in your hands, you can hold it.
INTELLECT = LOWEST FORM OF CONCIOUSNESS - KNOW THE WORDS BUT NOT THE MUSIC
I don't teach anything, I have no doctrine, nothing to sell you
NO-THING - the ultimate reality - just being, not doing
The true meaning of life is no meaning, its purpose is no purpose and its sense is nonsense
Look at your actions and ask "Am I doing this from love, or from fear?". If you are working in fear, you will get fear, and it will do nothing to help you. If you are really working from love you will get love. The energy always returns to the principal.
Life isn’t a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced
For every outside there is an inside, and for every inside there is an outside, and although different, they go together
You don’t find one without the other
Just be, not attached
The positive cannot be without the negative, the negative cannot be without the positive
You are it
Boredom is the other side of creativity, and the law of opposites (yin and yang) applies to it fully.
How would you know you were alive unless you’d once been dead?
The enjoyment is in the discovering, the pondering, rather than the answering and the concluding
All objects are objectionable
Since we are growths of the world, we cannot destroy it. Can the apple destroy the apple tree? Natural things are all interlinked and dependant on each other.
You do not come into this world, you come out of it.
The thinker of thoughts is just one of the thoughts
The feeler of the feelings is just one of the feelings
The experiencer of the experience is just part of the experience
Grammatical rule that verbs have to be subjects
Just a grammatical rule not a rule of nature
When I am saying “you are feeling” I am just saying “there is feeling there”
Begin to see the ‘outside’ physical world as an extension of your own body and you will see the universal laws become apparent
The unanswerable questions ARE the answer
The past and future exist in the present
Everybody starts from some fundamental assumptions – axioms for living, in the subconscious
Any experience that we have through our senses is a vibration
Vibration – on or off – crests and troughs
Crests and Troughs are inseparable – can’t have one without the other
Different things can be inseparable
Black and white are inseparable
We think that one side should win, ignoring the universal law of opposites
We specialize in concentrated, focused attention
Ignorance of everything outside that field
If you concentrate on a figure, you tend to ignore the background
Everything exists with everything else
What we notice is what is noteworthy
We process a small fraction of what comes to our senses
What goes on inside is inseparable from what goes on outside
The organism is not the puppet of the environment, neither is the environment the puppet of the organism, the relationship is transactional
No selling unless someone buys and no buying unless someone sells
Unified field of behaviour
Being able to predict increases anxiety and fear – worrying about the future
You know you are feeling alright because you have something in the back of your mind to compare your present state to
How would you know you were outstanding if there was not something instanding
Substance – Underlying – The Foundation – No Thing
There must be no thing for some thing to exist – thus no thing is equally important as some thing
That which always escapes you is absolutely necessary for there to be anything whatsoever
There’s nothing to rely on because you are it
The universe looks through itself from uncountable points of view, so as not to be one-sided
Trying to control thoughts with thoughts is like trying to bite your own teeth
The feeling of self relies on there being at the same time, a contrast
Therefore you cannot have the feeling of being a voluntary acting self without the involuntary happening
How do you will to abandon your will?
The ‘self’ is itself a mental formation, a product of the mind. It is therefore empty of inherent existence
The ego is your symbol of yourself
Holding onto yourself so tightly that you strangle yourself
If you hold onto something, you start seriously suffering
Pleasure is the figure, pain is the background
The wake doesn’t drive the ship
Matthew Eccles is an experience; it has no definitive beginning and no definitive end
It all starts right now but we like to establish connectivity with the past
Explaining things by the past is really a refusal to explain them at all – all you are doing is postponing the explanation
You connect what you are doing now with what you did so that you can see a consistent story
Getting rid of the habit whereby you define yourself as the result of what has gone before
You define yourself in terms of what you are doing NOW
Don’t be a dog being wagged by its tail – controlled by the past
The past and the future both exist in the NOW
All thoughts are in the present and of the present
Everything is an experience, everything is change
Swim with the current, it’s much easier and less painful then fighting against it
You are as much the dark space beyond death as you are the light interval called life
You can’t have half a wave; you can’t just have crests and no troughs
Nirvana means breathe out: let go of the breath
Fighting and moaning about something in your life is as good and effective as shouting at yourself, or shouting at your teacher.
You are everyone you’ve inter acted with – life review
Separation, time and space are the building blocks of physical reality
Nothing has built in meaning
The greatest gift that creation has given to us is that life has no meaning
Precognition – seeing from the hilltop rather than seeing from the valley
All that is cannot be all that is unless it experiences all it can
Physical reality is one possible way that this experience can happen
Reality shifts to support your belief systems
You only have your own energy to deal with
Fear is telling you that something about you is out of alignment with what you truly want
Energy is passing through belief system filters that are out of alignment with your true self => Feeling c.k.a. Fear
Fear is not an obstacle; it is part of the path. To show you something you need to know. If you think of it as an obstacle then it will be just that.
Use the fear in a positive way. It is a rung on the ladder. If you devalue a rung on the ladder, you cannot climb the ladder, since the rung will crack and break.
Doubt is trusting in a belief that you do not prefer. Something is out of alignment.
If you insist on something being a particular way, you prevent the higher mind from providing it to you in a way that could be more beneficial to you.
Seeing the road is seeing from the higher mind, it is a reassurance from the higher mind – believe it.
No organism will ever annihilate its reason for existence
There is a balance of supports and challenges to all belief systems
Bad is what people perceive when they don’t know how to look for the other side
We’re not serving the world by holding on to a bullshit illusion about something, because we’re unwilling to look for the other side
There is never a crisis without a blessing, a loss without a gain, a negative without a positive
There is no door that shuts without a window that opens
Anything that you resent runs your life until you love
If you infatuate you minimize yourself and you are ungrateful for you
Emotions are mass; they can gravitate and pull us down
Events are events.
Do you want to become a victim of circumstance?
If something challenges your belief system, you label it bad; if something supports your belief system, you label it good
Good and bad are illusions based on belief systems, which filter our perceptions of events
There is a timeless mind and ageless body
Anything we are infatuated with or resent, is stored as a memory (illusion), until we are ready for the truth to see the balance of it, and once we see the balance of it we actually love it for what it is, instead of fantasizing about what we imagine it to be
You can’t solve the paradox from the level of the paradox
Our senses automatically bias things and condition events
Disease is a gift if you know how to interpret it
Volatility shortens your life
You will never get healed through blame
The addiction to pleasure is as much a disease as pain
A balance of support and challenge to make sure you grow
People want one side more than the other; they are blocking themselves from growth
Being happy all the time destroys people’s lives
Those with the highest certainty and highest visions rule and govern the field
FAITH
