    You are not living in your mind anymore.  The mind becomes a helpful resource whenever you need it.  It becomes your friend rather than your tormentor, your judge, your critic, your executioner.  What comes with this awakening is a profound trust in the life force.  You are the garden, and you are flourishing.  Recorded in San Francisco, CA. on 02-11-2019.

    Let’s cultivate the human perspective that is healthy and supportive rather than the old, abusive, beating-ourselves-up-because-we’re-not-good-enough approach.  The old way is where we are coming from.  I am teaching where we are going.

    If you’re aware of awareness, it’s like being in a beautiful breeze at the ocean. You just let it in, let it waft through you. Wonderful. That’s the sort of ultimate spiritual teaching when that’s in your field, when that’s present. Nowhere to go, nothing to do. And if you’re, you find that you’re resisting or hurting in some way, unhappy, unfulfilled, then you can explore that in infinite ways. That’s how we humans over thousands of years have discovered all kinds of healing options for our mind, for our bodies, for our hearts. And healing is the same as the seed sprouting and as your being enlightened. It is exactly the same natural movement. So of course if you learn how in a balanced way to facilitate your healing on any level, you will naturally evolve spiritually. Recorded at Santa Cruz, CA meditation gathering with Jon Bernie on 02-10-2018.

    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.
