00:00You
00:19We are soul
00:27As souls
00:30We are not
00:32Under
00:35Time
00:36Or space
00:38We are
00:44We are infinite
01:02Just try following your breath
01:05And every time any thought arises
01:15Notice it and then go back to the breath
01:27Each time your awareness is drawn away from the breath
01:31To a thought
01:33Or a sensation
01:35To a memory or a plan
01:39To a sensation in your leg
01:41Or a sound in the room
01:43Notice that it has gone away from the breath
01:45And bring it back
01:55Now you don't have to keep your eyes closed to do this
01:58Try opening your eyes but keep the breath, the focus
02:12Let it all be there
02:13Don't be busy not seeing
02:45Or not thinking
02:46That
02:47Hangs out at this place
02:55It seems holy ground
02:58On the ground
03:03I feel this place like that
03:07It's one step from India
03:25It's one step from India
03:40It's a good place to stop
03:42It's a good place to stop
03:44No more planes
03:49I'm going nowhere
03:53I'm going nowhere
03:54Going nowhere
04:00Up here in my study
04:03It's a bird's view
04:06It's a bird's view
04:09It's a bird's view
04:09They fly, they do pirouettes
04:12They do all kinds of things
04:14And I see, I hear
04:29I love the ocean
04:32I think of where the ocean goes
04:37Everywhere
04:38Everywhere
04:56The wind here is the trade winds
05:01And they keep it cool
05:04And their sound is in the trees
05:15Nature is my friend
05:18Nature is my friend
05:19And that just gives me the ambiance
05:21And that just gives me the ambiance
05:33In Maui
05:38I'm just doing it
05:40A stage of my
05:42Sadhana, my spiritual work
05:48More and more love
05:49More and more love
05:51More and more love
05:52More and more love
06:00Truth
06:02Love
06:06Consciousness
06:08That's what God is to me
06:13It's just consciousness
06:24It's just consciousness
06:25My life has been a
06:28Dance between
06:30Power and love
06:33Power and love
06:35First part
06:37Until
06:39Harvard
06:40Power, power, power, power
06:53Up until drugs
06:57And on
06:58I thought power was
06:59End all and be all
07:04Because I was a little
07:07Individual
07:15Then drugs and on
07:31Love, love, love, love.
07:33Love, love, love.
07:38My first mushroom trip, it was so profound that I saw that radiance was inside.
07:51And I said, I'm home, I'm home, I'm home.
07:58My life was from roles to soul.
08:40And I said, I'm home, I'm home, I'm home, I'm home.
08:57The Great Way is not difficult for those who have no preferences.
09:14I know nothing about the future.
09:38Before the stroke, I had written a book that was called, How Can I Have You?
09:46My help.
09:47And it was about helping.
09:49I was going to help, you know.
09:55After the stroke, I would have titled the book, How Can You Help Me?
10:10In this culture, dependency is a no-no.
10:18The stroke showed me dependency.
10:26And I have people that are dependable.
10:33My stroke makes it hard to play the cello.
10:38It's difficult to play golf.
10:41Those are out there.
10:43And I'm in here.
10:53The stroke pushed me inside even more.
11:01And it's so wonderful.
11:13I don't wish you the stroke, but I wish you the grace from the stroke.
11:32My girl told me when the stroke would be grace.
11:46When I met Maharaji, it was unconditional love.
11:59It was wonderful to be loved that way.
12:04And I said, I'm home.
12:07I'm home.
12:11I'm home.
12:13A girl is the doorway to God.
12:21I'm home.
12:22To consciousness.
12:24To the One.
12:28Mound.
12:37With psychedelics, Maharaji said you could go into the room in which Christ and Buddha
12:50I exist, but you only stay a few minutes, a few minutes.
13:09Every time I would sit with Maharaji, time would stop.
13:15It was like a moment expanded.
13:33He lived in eternity.
13:37I was born.
13:40I was born.
13:42I was born.
13:45I was born.
13:49Siddharam, Siddharam, Siddharam, Dede Siddharam.
14:24Most of what we encounter are thoughts.
14:39I project not only the names but values.
14:45So that's around judging everything.
15:08Without those projections, I can see everything.
15:34Siddharam, Siddharam, Siddharam, Siddharam.
15:42Rowing above gently, merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily.
16:12Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily.
16:17People don't seem to know that they are a soul, that their consciousness goes way farther than the incarnation.
16:36We pinch ourselves to know we're alive in this life.
16:50The soul is in the heart level.
16:57That's the entry point, merrily.
17:01And then your mantra, I am loving awareness.
17:07I am loving awareness.
17:11I am loving awareness.
17:13I am loving awareness. I am loving awareness. I am loving awareness. I am loving awareness.
17:25I identify with loving awareness and I go through the veil and consciousness veil.
17:52Going through that veil is part of spiritual practice and the main part of dying is the
18:13same thing.
18:43I am loving awareness.
18:50Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream.
19:17Make friends with change and stay breathing.
19:26There's change in the body of a strength, memory, death is change, just another one.
19:47If you're identified with your soul, death is a snap, the soul goes birth-death, birth-death.
20:06Death is another step towards home.
20:24Death is another step towards home.
20:26Death is another step towards home.
20:39It's okay.
20:41It's okay.
20:42Oh, wait a minute.
20:43Wait a minute.
20:44You're going to retract that statement?
20:45Yeah.
20:47It was okay.
20:48I give up.
20:51I realize it's very presumptuous to get up and talk about death as if I know.
20:59But I have a lot of chutzpah.
21:01That's Sanskrit for...
21:10And something has happened to me as a result of my meanderings through the realms of consciousness
21:15over the past 30 years that has changed my attitudes towards death.
21:22A lot of the fear that death generated that led to denial has gone from me.
21:30Death does not have to be treated as an enemy for you to delight in life.
21:35Death.
21:36Keeping death present in your consciousness as one of the greatest mysteries and as the
21:42moment of incredible transformation imbues this moment with added richness and energy
21:52that otherwise is used up in denial.
21:58Death is not an error.
22:00It is not a failure.
22:03It is taking off a tight shoe.
22:09I'm one of the strange people that absolutely delights and enjoys being with people as they're
22:17dying.
22:18Because I know I'm going to have an opportunity to be in the presence of truth.
22:24So when I sit with somebody, the first thing I have to do is open myself to all my reactions
22:31to their predicament.
22:32All of it.
22:33All of the pain of it.
22:35Grieve for the other person's loss.
22:39And when they feel heard in the grief, then we can start to meet behind the grief.
22:48And I'm faced with the paradox that I as a human with a human emotional heart want to take
22:55away your suffering.
22:57And at the same moment, there's another part of me that understands that suffering is grace.
23:02That suffering is the sandpaper from the spiritual point of view that is awakening people.
23:07And once you've started to spiritually awaken, you re-perceive your own suffering and start
23:13to work with it as a vehicle for awakening.
23:20As my guru says, God comes to the hungry in the form of food.
23:23and now I hope to be open and I they look at herí’€ there!
23:28A l of this.
23:33A l of this I feel and when the suffering has fallen in circles.
24:11My name, what's the name for Hanuman?
24:28Hanuman is a loving servant, the Hanuman garden, it's where Hanuman hangs out, Hanuman likes vegetation
24:46around him, he's a child of nature and I contacted him there.
25:00I mistake his words by the quiet.
25:17Ram said to Hanuman, what are you monkey?
25:25And Hanuman answered, when I don't know who I am, I serve you.
25:38When I know who I am, I am you.
26:05Good morning.
26:08Good morning.
26:09Good morning.
26:19We've lived longer than we think.
26:23You're traveling through lives.
26:34What did you learn in this life?
26:54Considerable joy.
26:57Considerable joy.
27:20When you're in your soul, and you love something, and the things, you love it.
27:28You become melding, melding.
27:35So you love something, and you become one with it.
27:47All of us, one.
27:55All of us, one.
28:02One consciousness, one consciousness.
28:10And that's the way in which the world could right itself.
28:21Start with your peace, your love, your compassion.
28:27And go from there.
28:30And go from there.
28:32And then, love everything.
28:37Everything.
28:56Let's all walk each other home.
29:03Hmm.
29:03Yeah.
29:34Yeah.
30:03Yeah.
30:33Yeah.
31:03Yeah.
31:04Yeah.
31:34Yeah.
