The Art of Surrender
"We want to get you
out of your mind,
out of the controlled idea
that you are an intelligent
and together person
and into what is here
in this moment
beyond such ideas.
The mind is always
trying to put things in order.
But once the mind
puts things in order,
you are out of touch
with what is here.
Unconsciously,
the mind has an image
of how a perfect person should be
and the mind tries to emulate that.
Not on a conscious level,
you are not intentionally doing it.
But once you do it,
then consciousness
cannot touch you.
Life cannot touch you.
So the first step
is to be aware of this.
Be aware of how the mind
tries to put everything
into neat little piles
of understandings
and justifications.
Second
is to allow yourself
to become undone.
Allow yourself
to be naked and raw
in this moment.
Experience
with pure honesty
what is here
in this moment
without holding on to
any ideas
of what that might be.
It is this honest awareness
that is the key.
We refer to ourselves
as someone in time.
Someone with past experiences
and memories.
But I want you to go beyond
that thought construct
and truly experience
what is here.
Because what is here
is only here now
and then it is gone.
There is such freedom
just in that realization.
You can only feel this moment.
You can't do it with the mind,
you have to feel it.
Beyond emotion,
beyond the intellect.
Surrender
to what is here completely.
Give up being together
and simply fall apart
in this moment
and experience what is left.
Then
you will truly experience
peace.
You will truly experience
freedom.
You will realize that silence
that is underneath everything.
That silence that only
fully reveals itself
when you have come undone.
Blessings,
Kip"

(Continuation of tape 4a...)
I would suggest you use a combination of both, surrender and then alertness. Really, you can't separate them. They, of course, take you to the same place in realization. And then finally they merge. When the realization is there, they merge. They don't remain separate. |
 Reflections of the One Life: Daily Pointers to Enlightenment

April 23rd Reflections of the One Life There are many different expressions of non-duality. It is easy to get hooked into one particular way of pointing to it. Each expression, from the clearest non-dual pointer to the most confusing one, is an expression of Oneness. This is not to say that all expressions are equally clear. Some words point more directly and clearly to the realization. But the pointer is never that which it describes. The One Life is like a mirror. There is only one mirror. However, there are various reflections of that single mirror. Non-dual pointers appear as reflections. The moment there is attachment to any reflection, including a non-dual pointer, separation and conflict happen. Some pointers in these reflections may seem unclear. If you read a pointer that seems unclear, move on to the next pointer. Don't get stuck. But if stuckness happens, seeing it frees you from its grip. In the clear seeing that you are nothing being everything, all reflections are allowed to be just as they are. That last sentence is merely a reflection. Use the reflection as a pointer, then let it pass. Reflections, by their nature, have a short life span. They arise and pass. Attachment just means focusing in on a reflection in some attempt to make it into truth or permanence. That is ignorance. |

Consciousness Is Its Own Content
If our credo is, "Everything is Consciousness, therefore everything is as good as anything else, therefore I cannot and need not change my suffering," then why not apply that attitude to the current situation in the first place and welcome it exactly as it is? Instead of accepting our rejection of the current situation, why not simply accept the current situation itself? Suffering would cease right there.

The Third Eye Chakra: The Pituitary Gland, Pineal Gland, and Hypothalamus
THE CHAKRA COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE THIRD EYE, Ajna, is the last chakra in this material reality. With the seventh chakra, we enter a different world.
Ajna means "center of order." When we open our inner eye, we gain new vision that affects every aspect of our experience. With the opening of this chakra our questions and need for answers vanish, as does our dependence on beliefs. The essentials of life become crystal clear because we enter into inner knowing.

 Chapter 79
Person, Witness and the Supreme
Q: I find that I am always restless, longing, hoping, seeking, finding, enjoying, abandoning, searching again. What is it that keeps me on the boil? M: You are really in search of yourself, without knowing it. You are love-longing for the love-worthy, the perfect lovable. Due to ignorance you are looking for it in the world of opposites and contradictions. When you find it within, your search will be over. |
