    Jon points out that in satsang, silence is happening regardless of whether or not we’re speaking, and invites us to listen into that silence; challenges us to look for the cutting edge of our own process of discovery; and suggests that as we recover the deep consciousness of our senses, we inevitably begin to notice that what we truly are is aliveness itself. Recorded 5/8/2010 in Santa Cruz.
