    “How can you cultivate a flexible mind? Maybe you can’t get rid of your mind, maybe you can’t control it; but can you encourage it to be flexible? Can you notice if your mind or your beliefs are limiting you in some way?” Recorded 5/30/2011 in San Francisco.

    “Thought is very much a part of the creative force. But how did it get out of control, so to speak? How did it go crazy? Why does it think it’s running the show? When you have a taste of energy, of awareness, of presence, then you can become free of the controlling, dominating mind. You can really rest in aliveness right now. You can be relieved of the burden of the struggle.” Recorded 5/23/2011 in San Francisco.

    “Let’s say the body is a vehicle for discovery, an instrument. How is it that we use this body, so often, unconsciously? What would happen if when talking, you actually listened to the instrument, to the vibration through the whole instrument? If you listen, you’ll realize that every cell is resonating in the sound, and that sound, fundamentally, is energy. And energy is fundamentally who you are. So even by the simple act of paying attention to speaking, you could realize who you are. You could realize the truth of being.” Recorded 5/9/2011 in San Francisco.

    “How is it possible to completely dissolve, to allow the body and the mind and the emotional realm to completely dissolve, so there’s only consciousness present? … When there’s just pure consciousness, there’s an extraordinary aliveness that we realize we are.” Recorded 4/25/2011 in San Francisco.

    This week Jon invites us to drop our interpretation of what’s arising and allow ourselves to not know, even if only for only a moment; and emphasizes that when you can truly be with whatever is present right now — with yourself, however you are, right now — then in this moment you’re right on the edge of freedom. Recorded 4/18/2011 in San Francisco.

    This week Jon discusses the importance of expression and our need to be heard, while emphasizing that expression must come from and be informed by stillness. As Jon says, “stillness is what holds us up; is what supports us, nourishes us, heals us, and gives us what we want. You can ask into that stillness, you can offer everything into that stillness. Because it is yourself — the creative intelligent force of the universe.” Recorded 3/28/2011 in San Francisco.
