and you can see somewhere on a bench in a park and you want into the mind it
looks an insignificant event the my team says sitting there because this isn't
solving my problems the Micra trying to come in it remind you of what your
problems are sometimes the old movement tries to come back in and you see that
you come back to the freedom of being free of the conditioned now you may
sometimes especially as this state begins to arise in you may be
short-lived at first before mind comes in again or as you sit there in that
state some thoughts make drift in and out and they are recognized as thoughts
perhaps labels again but you are no longer totally in it you allow it to be
you recognize it as just thought it's no longer a problem and then there's a
space again between the next thought between that thought in the next thought
and so we are talking about this right now in the context of a neutral non
problematic situation you're in a park or you're sitting at home in your
familiar room and you're sitting in the chair and you simply look around in the
state of clear innocent not labeling perception
and then something else happens you suddenly realize two dimensions one is
the objects that are appearing in your consciousness the sense objects
perception and then you sense the field of aware presence still but awake highly
awake the field of aware presence in which those sense perceptions appear
you're aware of that and that which appears in other words you're aware
conscious of awareness conscious of consciousness and that which appears in
consciousness knowing that none of that which appears in consciousness is the
essence of who you are but consciousness itself is who you are but in every form
that essence is also conceived so the other statement the seemingly
contradictory statement that everything you see is you is also true but - this
is how it works holds that they are both true none of that which appears in
consciousness is you and everything is you but the essence of you of I is the
field of a web presence and you are free you
know yourself as that then the world is not threatening anymore the world of
form nor is it that attractive anymore it's just is beautiful as it is but it
doesn't stretch a new sense of self nor does it promise to enhance your sense of
self anymore and now you can actually you can relax with the world because you
don't feel threatened by it or enhance by it because you are beyond it and this
is why funny story to illustrate this
the spiritual teacher trained Krishnamurti who taught for many many
many years once in the middle of the talk he's stopped talking and said do
you want to know what my secret is and everybody listen up
some people had already gone to sleep because they've been coming to see him
from 30 years yes that's what we've been waiting for what is your secret okay I
will tell you what my secret is and say I don't mind what happens
yes and that was his secret but now you can see I don't know how many people got
it when he said that he didn't explain as far as I know further but in the
context of this you can see the depth of what that means I don't mind what
happens because what happens is a form that arises in consciousness and when
you know yourself as consciousness it doesn't matter very much the strange
thing is you might think okay then you your attitude then towards the world
will be one of not caring anymore it sometimes happens that people who in
whom this transformed state arises suddenly they go through a period when
they don't pay attention to any of these forms anymore
they lose interest in the world of form entirely they get so drawn so identified
with the formless with being that existence becomes uninteresting because
being is unmanifested life existence is formed because the very word means eggs
means out systems it stands out as a form this happened to me also total lack
of interest for several years in anything in this world and then the
balance establishes itself it doesn't need to happen to you it tends to happen
to people who without any teaching stumble upon this
Tros within themselves seemingly accidentally it's nothing is accidental
but seemingly accidentally they stumble upon this and suddenly the unconditioned
is there fully all at once and then sometimes the world kind of becomes
totally peripheral until finally you learn to live in the world of form again
with most of you a different process happens it is a more gradual realization
not that surrender takes time but to dwell in the state of surrender as a
continuous state can take time not the surrender itself because you can only
surrender to now but what happens is that the resistance movements which is
conditioned collectively will reassert itself in waves and so you fall back
into the state of egoic identification with mind back in the state of
resistance and denial of now and then suddenly you see it and then you
re-enter so it's a gradual entering of that as so that until it becomes you
know the place where you dwell that state so so you it you don't need to
lose yourself in it because it is gradual you can learn to incorporate it
into your life not that you have to do it it happens by itself and the
misperception could arise that then don't you become careless towards the
world the things in this world and strangely the opposite is true once you
the balance is there everything that you look upon
is actually great care flows into that too when you give attention which that
attention is the unconditioned and in that movement of the unconditioned it
looks upon the conditions whether it looks upon a thought or an emotion or a
sense object external there is a gentleness a care and compassion and
love with which you perceive things and allow things that's the beauty of it you
don't misuse the world of form in the service of self you don't misuse the
form that this moment takes in the service of some mentally projected
future moment if you make this moment into a means to an end you're using it
in the service of the false sense of self that seeks to complete itself
through future and whatever comes into the now is self serving and open it's a
human being and you meet a human being and somehow you are just using that
human being because you are using the present moment is a means to an end
so anything that appears in the now becomes a means to an end if that now is
a means to an end to arrive at some future which is the egoic state so in
the going state love is not possible because in the going state you always
want something from the other person or you fear something from the other person
and what you want from the other person is sometimes called love I want you to
complete me and I want you to sign this contract
don't you dare leave me so love compassion gentleness those qualities
that are really not so much human but divine because human in the way I use
the word I'm sorry if I offend anybody human means mad in the old sense it's
been bad for a long time but these are there are divine qualities that flow
through a human being but not when the conditioned mind operates so at first
now we become free of the movement of the conditioned in simple situations
that you just allow to be not particularly challenging situations
simply sitting somewhere in a restaurant in a cafe drinking a cup of tea and an
enlarged presence arises and you simply watch see in a field of stillness that
is the arising and then the challenges come because as you know you can't go
through life for very long perhaps not even a single day without some challenge
appearing some situation that doesn't seem to go the way it should have gone
something going wrong some kind of loss
and particularly in India one can experience things don't go the way you
expect them to go this is the great lesson for many people who come here
think is easier to learn surrender here I said that last night
and this could be the reason why the great sages far greater numbers than any
other country liberated beings lived here
produced by India so that in ceded the entire world became throne the enormous
wisdom that arose here the insight into the human condition it's a miracle so
the challenges come and then the temptation is for the old reactive
pattern to flow back in so he get drawn back the moment you're faced with a
slightest challenge before you set on this part bench
beautiful occasional thoughts but you perceiving in the field of stillness and
then the first challenge comes and then either that unconditioned stillness
presence deepens or you get drawn into the old reactive pattern and the
unconditioned becomes obscured again through identification with the
conditioned the little bees back reacting fighting complaining shouting
complete whatever it does it doesn't sing the reactive pattern once a certain
level of presence which is another word are used to describe the unconditioned
consciousness that arises once a certain degree of presence has been reached what
happens is that the challenge simply intensifies presence instead of the old
reactive pattern me back so a challenge comes and it is
faced completely without resistors in a field of intense alertness that is the
movement of incredible intelligence that goes into that situation that is
challenging it is not mentally analyzed at some point my movement may come in
but it could be more likely to be an inspired thought of what is needed
unless what is needed comes in spontaneous action which also happens in
that state the challenge is faced completely in the
state of alert attention and there's the movement of the unconditioned
intelligence which the Chinese called the Dao is suddenly operating through
this form so what is now dealing with the challenge is not the limited
conditioned mind with its conditioning what is dealing with the situation is
the one universal intelligence and you will be amazed how quickly situations
resolve themselves through the simple act of giving full and complete non
interpreting non judgment non-judgmental attention clear space of course that is
only possible if they portal that is the act of surrender is open if you have
accepted unconditionally whatever this challenge is this form of
this moment so that is how greater intelligence comes in and resolves it
through then arises through you or face another
spontaneous event it seems to come from elsewhere because intelligence is
everywhere the one intelligence and it will operate beautifully so that's the
creative human beings those few you beasts who are very creative in artists
musicians composers painters sculptors some of the creative scientists or any
creative endeavor those human beings have the ability in the limited field of
their endeavor to enter that state of total looking clear unconditioned
attention and then a movement happens and the creative act begins and they
know that they are not doing it as the form it moves through them and when you
look at some of the great creations the redeeming feature of humanity its it has
enormous madness there but also some very great things the greatest of course
is the teachers of truth they're the sublime achievement of humanity's to see
beyond illusion but then come also those that created incredible steps and beauty
through some form and his music or through even through words but there's
an essence there that is beyond mind and you say how could a human being create
such sublime such a sublime work and the answer is it's the little human being
didn't create it it was that there was an opening into Universal intelligence
and so those three humans in their limited field enter that
state and it happens and in most cases those humans when they move into back
into ordinary life away from their creative field are possessed again by
the normal human unconsciousness so it's mostly with those people only in that
moment that act of creation in their particular field are able to enter that
state Einstein was able to enter that state and this is where the great
insight came that no mind could have worked out there's a leap here that
sudden insight that is not the result of thought activity it is the result of
cessation of thought activity and then suddenly the insight came so that is but
here we are going we are not attempting to become great artists although it may
happen this arises in humanity now as a continuous state of being so young your
whole life becomes a work of art even if you create nothing externally so the
challenges are extremely important that come which is again the limitations that
appears in this moment and not to turn away from it
to walk through it face it fully say yes to it and then see what happens
so that's what there is one more seeming apparent obstacle that many human beings
encounter as the new state even as the new state of consciousness arises and
that obstacle is due to the fact that collectively
humanity has created vast suffering for itself on this planet and there is
within the collect within the energy field of the planet there is a residue
of pain human the collective in the collective consciousness of humanity or
unconsciousness of humanity there is an enormous amount of human pain and every
human being has a share of accumulated human pain that they carry inside almost
something it's an energy field residue of pain from your personal life in this
lifetime children very few children don't suffer great pain after only
living a relatively mad world but more than that human pain accumulated over
thousands of years that is passed on in many ways even genetically and so if
you're not aware of that it can happen easily that you are overwhelmed taken
all the periodically by the movement of human pain in you and it can easily
obscure the arising presence the unconditioned when the pain comes
I call that the pain body that human beings carry inside and that pain body
needs to be seen for what it is it can only continue to operate in you if you
remain unconscious of it and we take it for who you are
