"The mind must cling on to something.

It clings on to the body,

clings on to thoughts,

clings on to emotions.



When it can cling on to something, it feels real,

it feels as though it's something solid,

defined, and that feels safe.



Even though there's suffering in that safety,

there's limitation in that safety

there's…

"The intellectual mind

fixates on subject/object;

me and you;

fixates on defining me, naming me,

defining you, naming you,

with descriptions and judgments attached.



Therefore, you never meet me.

You never meet anybody.

You only meet your idea of the other person;

your definition, name, description

& judgment of the…

"There's a bushwalk near my house.



It's not very well kept;

it's quite rough and wild

and because of that hardly anyone walks it.



I can walk 5 or 10 minutes

down the path and

there are no sounds of people at all.



No cars, no noises from houses.

Just pure nature.



Although there is the rush of the wind,

the…

"It's a lot of effort to be a somebody;

a lot of stress.



You have to keep reinforcing

the idea to yourself and others

that you are a somebody.

You have to defend your position,

your opinions, your beliefs, your accomplishments.



You have to keep remembering

your worries and desires;

always planning and manipulating…

"Awareness cannot be known

by the intellectual part of the mind,



but the mind can and does

recognize awareness through feeling.



It may feel it as peace, as bliss, as love.

It may feel it as formless being,

energy, silence, the witness

or even as a sense of freedom.



And through feeling,,

the mind can recognize…

"Turn your attention to consciousness.



Whatever arises,

allow it to arise

but keep your attention

resting in consciousness.



We pay far too much attention

to the noise of the mind

and not the consciousness

that is the essence of mind.



Consciousness is silent.

It is prior to noise.



By remaining in…

This quote is from our last online satsang.

You can hear it by playing this youtube video

It's nice to meditate to while reading.





"The purpose of this peace

is not to give you more money,

not to heal your body,

not to make you happier,

not to make you enlightened.…

"Offer 100 percent attention

to whatever you do.



If you do that,

no matter what the outcome,

you will be fulfilled.



There is no real peace or love

when you scatter your attention

a little here and a little there

or you are attached to the outcome

being a certain way.

Then you are not alive.

Then you are…

"There are 4 things required

in order to be able to become

a witness to thoughts.



The first is the full allowing

of thinking to be.



If you try and manipulate thinking

or stop the thinking in any way,

you will not be able to witness it.



It is only in fully allowing thoughts

to naturally happen

like wind blowing…

"When you immerse your attention

into the peace that is the essence

of this moment,

you find that it is limitless.



It is completely formless

and that formless peace

goes on forever.



The emptiness is so vast

so intoxicating, so fulfilling,

there is no end to exploring it.



I call it peace

but the peace is…

"An object

does not become an object

separate from you

until you define it.



In order to not define it,

you simply remain in awareness.



You do not allow your attention

to leave awareness

to become fixated on thinking;

rather, attention remains resting

in itself as consciousness.



When you remain in…

"Even when you taste

the bliss that you are,

the mind still runs back

to its old assumptions

of what it is.



You experience yourself as consciousness,

then what happens?

You snap back like an elastic band

to assuming you are your thinking again.



That sense of being a person,

being the doer, the controller

who has…
