But to return to our wildness we must know who we are, we must reach that level of Truth that is not identified with an I-thought, with a body form, with a limited mortal life span because our wildness is eternal and has nothing to do with the domesticated life of the ego, has no interest in such a substitute for real existence." Recorded on the morning of Monday, March 28, 2016.

In the ancient world, one of the most famous ashrams was that led by Pythagoras…” Recorded on the morning of Sunday, March 8, 2015.

The Buddhists speak of it very clearly, and yet, indistinctly because they refer to ‘Aum Mani Padme Hum’, the ‘Diamond in the Lotus’. But where is the lotus? What is the location of the Lotus Throne? How do you get there?” Recorded during the August 2017 silent retreat on the morning of Sunday, August 13, 2017.

God is more than love, but God is love – and our own love for God is that level of resonance which invites in all of the power and Presence of that infinite Self that you are." Recorded during the Rainy Season Retreat on the evening of Saturday, October 28, 2017.

And there is a cookie cutter that has cut a certain amount of this dough and separated it out—that's the ego. Now, before it's baked it can be put back in, and once it is smoothed out as part of the sheet of cookie dough it loses its identity doesn't it? It's simply the entire infinite sheet of sweetness, but once it's been separated out into a tiny little cookie and baked, it can't be put back; that's ego life. And so because the ego is a cutout, and is a form that has been separated from its own essence and baked into hatred, fear, envy, despair, all of that produced simply by its removal from its Infinite Source, the ego cannot be healed because it is the very cutting off from its infinite essence that is the problem."

Santa gives you a present - he gives you Divine Presence, that's what the gift is under the tree. And what is the tree, it's the Tree of Life, it has to be evergreen, right? When you have arrived at the Tree of Life and the star of Bethlehem, the star which is that ultimate point of Infinite Light that is the absolute image of Shiva and you are within that field of delight, of joy that is Christmas, the season of Christmas, and everyone comes to the tree and there are gifts for everyone because Santa was very generous, and it's all there, then everyone receives a present . . . . It is the Presence that is the real gift, and if you are willing to accept Santa's gift of eternal, ever-green Presence, then you are

And consciousness places a grid over the known, objectifies it, calls it a world, calls it external, divides the external and the internal, and creates an illusory identity to function within the realm of the known. Once that illusory identity is believed in, and the positor of all of these positings is forgotten about, the consciousness has trapped itself within an illusory matrix within which it will inevitably be traumatized, and it will create melodramas of persecution, of needing to be rescued, or being a rescuer, or a victim, or all three cycling around one another. And the only way out of this eternal melodrama of suffering is to recognize that the one that posited itself in any of these positions of rescuer, vic

Because it is undecidable who is responsible for your thoughts; is it your own consciousness? Is it some introjection of an other? Is it a demonic entity? Is it the family system internalized? Is it some Big Other that has brainwashed you? Is it some dream in the mind of God? Is it psychosis? It's indeterminable." Recorded on the morning of Wednesday, February 10, 2016.

Click here for more: Members Section Overview Excerpt: "The delight is the natural state, so before we acquired egos, all of us were always in a state of delight. That's the normal baseline of human consciousness. And then an ego program was imposed on us that took away our delight, and the ego is based on the loss of delight. Because we were trained that we had to get serious and we had to be worried about things and we had to be concerned with learning things and doing things that we didn't want to do, and our delight soon became something else, and there was a nostalgia for the lost delight. And so delight became a kind of an imaginary state that we wished we could be in. And all of culture is basically made up of ways of being in artificial substitutes of delight. We try to get delight from films, from comfort foods, from all kinds of artifici

Click here for more: Members Section Overview Excerpt: “Silence is both the way and the goal of meditation. The silence that is being referred to is the silence of wakeful consciousness aware of itself as it really is; not projecting out fantasies and affects and mental objects, not deluding oneself, not being filled with chatter, not being sleepy and spaced out, not being in either desire or fear. It is the state of silence in which there is no mental activity, in which all the mind’s modifications have been stopped, that the Real Self emerges, and the ego and all of its illusions and all of its suffering dissolve forever.” Recorded during the Silent Retreat, on the evening of Saturday, August 12, 2017.

And not only that, but He would put some aspects of Himself that were male into female bodies and some that were female into male bodies - which made the gable even more extreme. And so every relationship became a gamble, every event, every project - and because a gambler loves surprise, God had to build in absolute surprising, unsuspected consequences to every action that would take place so that the very intelligence of God would be stymied by these unknowable, unforeseen consequences of every action and that everyone would there

Didier Anzieu, another French psychoanalyst who developed a theory of the ego, his most famous and relevant book in this context is called The Skin Ego, and I think the relevance of this is that the skin becomes the center of consciousness at a certain moment when the child is about to go through weening, but it has not yet made a full differentiation between itself and the mother - there is still the ‘I and the mother are one’ - but the skin surface becomes the place of the conflict, and the place where that conflict, in terms of the old Freudian Oedipus complex, still has its last remaining threads of relevance which is that the father or . . . the paternal function that helps to separate the child from the mother, and this is the place where skin ailments happen, acne and other thing

Click here for more: Members Section Overview Excerpt: Consciousness is magic in itself. To adopt the egocentric frame of reference means you have sacrificed your magic, your magic powers lie in that consciousness which is beyond the scope of the ego. And so you can live a humdrum life that’s very reasonable and probably deal with most of the forms of agony and suffering and barely muddle through and endure within that egoic frame of reference - but why miss out on the magic? On the miraculous? On the astonishing capacity of consciousness to transform the world?” Recorded during the Healing With Truth retreat, on the morning of Thursday, April 13, 2017.

Click here for more: Members Section Overview Excerpt: “Can you feel the energy of life flowing through your organism? Do you allow the energy of life to fully flow through every cell of the organism? Are you conscious of what the energy of life feels like? Are you in direct contact with the power of life that keeps your body alive, healthy, and functioning at optimal capacity? Or do you block the flow? Do you limit it? Do you repress it? Do you have fear of too much life? Do you allow yourself to be bathed in the life energy? Do you know the source of the life energy? To know the life energy fully requires that you have attained a position in consciousness that contains the life energy, that your power of presence allows the full flow of infinite eternal life through Itself. But that which witnesses life is that which the ego fears as death. And

But how to do it when there is so much resistance of the outer levels? The itchy body that’s uncomfortable sitting still; the mind that doesn’t want to stop thinking and remembering and planning and being somewhere else than [where] you are; the emotions that keep coming up, sadness, desire, despair. All of those internal chaotic arisings that keep one from simply being who one is.” Recorded on the morning of Sunday, January 17, 2016.

The holiday celebrates the culmination of the practice of yoga by the great yogi, Muhammad, who sat in a cave in a state of deep samadhi, and reached such a level of God-consciousness that a vision of an angel came to him and gave him the wisdom that he downloaded that became the Koran” Recorded on the morning of Saturday, May 27, 2017.

And eventually the wisdom of the heart overcomes the ego’s desire to get more because more turns out to be less. And in that recognition that the value of love is much greater than the value of things, and that the value of that Ultimate Source of love is greater even than the value of the love between those who are still within the I-thought, that ultimate love and ultimate intelligence and ultimate p
