    Letting go is always scary, until it’s bliss. At some point, as more is revealed to you in this opening of presence, what emerges through your whole being is profound trust. You will start to traverse that fear/bliss movement, and it’s scary, but intuitively you find your balance. You can’t push it, it’s a natural movement that we learn to allow. Recorded in San Francisco, CA. on 06-26-2017.

    People sometimes go on retreat or come to Satsang and have a difficult time, and they think “I didn’t really get enough Shakti” or, “I don’t feel any different”. But usually you figure out how you are on your path over time; not at the end of your retreat, or when you had your big experience or something like that. It’s more like an ongoing gestation; an ongoing revelation. Recorded in San Francisco, CA. on 04-09-2018.

    We are learning to let go of judgements and conclusions – to be vulnerable in the unknown – and to see the profound trust that we are. There is no need to perform or have to be somebody. Recorded in San Francisco, CA. on 09-03-2018.

    This can’t really be an accomplishment, it’s just reality. Actually, it’s no big deal. I love that when he was asked what enlightenment was, Suzuki Roshi replied, “Nothing Special”. There’s nothing like telling the truth and not turning it into something unattainable. It’s ordinary. It’s what you always are, even if you’re caught in resistance. Recorded in San Franciso, CA. on 10-02-2017.

    Even though you might have your laundry list of problems, you can only take care of what’s in front of you. And you can only take care of what’s in front of you right now, if you’re actually here. And when you’re in your garden, that’s all you can do – pick one weed at a time. Recorded in Santa Cruz, CA. on 09-16-2017.
