If we stand or walk through this Goan sun we're really clear about
the natural disposition of the sun, right?
We know that it's hot.
And we know that it's full of light.
We're quite clear about that, right?
Especially here.
And so what became remarkable in my experience
was that I became very, very clear
just as I am clear of the natural disposition of this incredible sun
that the natural disposition of a human being
of my mind
is innately beneficial.
That my potent, relaxed state is always on benefit.
And this is the great solution to all of these problems of inequality
all of these problems of
right and wrong and this person over that person.
What I've seen in my experience is coming to terms with
the ultimate solution to each and every problem that I faced
and that there is a solution
totally possible.
That all of those
incredible insolvable problems
that I had seen amongst the world
I started to see them being solved in my own experience, on the fly
in day-to-day life, in practical situations.
Speaking up
being in a relationship where
once I would react just from a knee jerk response
seeing that as just
that same reaction on a global scale of
fighting and hatred and war.
Seeing that as not different and taking a stand right there.
That's the end
to all of that deep and
painful inequality that we can see around.
And so here we offer this choice.
We offer this empowerment and we offer this solution.
And
it is a complete solution. We can be bold when we say this.
Because you can test it out right now.
And this is what we're offering
an opportunity to test out this solution.
So, we offer the opportunity to tap in with reality.
And
for me, I saw that there was just
so many differences around the world, you know
so many just differences.
But what I came to terms with was this
ultimate similarity
this common ground of being that I am and that we all share.
And this is open intelligence.
This is the power to know.
Each of us here are listening to this talk
maybe or maybe not.
We're hearing some words or we're
perceiving some thoughts, we're experiencing.
This power to experience
is what open intelligence is.
This simple power to experience is common to me, it's common to you.
And it's what we all share.
And so this interconnectedness is what we're tapping into
every short moment.
This is our connection with reality as it is, as it truly is.
So reality as it truly is, is this
expanse of opening intelligence
this forever opening intelligence.
Not a destination of a certain state
a certain, "Okay, I'm gonna be this way"
but a forever opening and expanding into a more comprehensive
and totally optimal way of being.
So, to test it out, to test in out in your experience
stop thinking.
There we have this common experience again, like I shared
the ability to experience.
Whether you have stopped thinking completely
or whether you are raging with thoughts
this ability to perceive is unending
and this power to know is always present
and this is opening intelligence.
And this is our greatest resource, funny enough.
So in my experience, I walked around with many, many different data streams.
Data streams we just term in Balanced View
as to encompass all experience: thoughts, emotions, and sensations
keeping it very, very simple.
Data occur
and what I, from my experience I saw that
that was my only focus
before understanding
the nature of reality, before being educated in the nature of mind
before being introduced to open intelligence.
The nature of my experience was
that there was this one data stream to the next, to the next, to the next
and I had all of these preferences and when they weren't fulfilled
then my day was down here.
And when they were fulfilled occasionally, sometimes rarely
sometimes often
then that was a better day.
But you know what, without the education in the nature of mind
to all of these positive experiences that I was so wanting to collect
there was such an emphasis on the hope that maybe they'll continue
and the utter fear that they're gonna go away very, very soon
and they're just gonna be fleeting.
Because in my heart of hearts I just saw the nature of reality like it truly is
that all data just
disappear like the flight path of the bird in the sky
spontaneously releasing.
And so, what was so powerful was that
I was introduced through short moments, many times
short moments of relying on open intelligence.
And repeating that spontaneously throughout my day
whether I'm experiencing a positive sensation
a negative sensation
a who cares sensation.
Throughout all of my experiences
there was this increasing opportunity I found
to really tap into reality as it is.
Reality being the basis of all descriptions rather than just being
narrowed in, with tunnel vision on one specific description
hoping for God’s sake that it will either go away or
that it would just continue.
And so, when we speak about
not really needing to be in any special circumstances anymore
we're not saying that there are no preferences
we're not deleting all of your preferences and
going to that extreme.
What I've found was remarkable was that I didn't really have to look
for my preferences to, and put myself in
places where my preferences weren't being met.
That's when my preferences are being met then it's just been such a
relief to have short moments there.
To be free, completely free of the need to
be concerned about whether they'll continue or not, or whether they'll go away.
And the deep knowing that
just from moment-to-moment, these preferences will
probably not be fulfilled.
So, I've found in my experience that there's no need to go hunting about
for those special circumstances that would challenge us.
I found those challenges coming
day-to-day
in daily life experience.
Just presenting themselves naturally.
And what I have found in there was this
an abundance of benefit.
A total abundance of benefit, total abundance in generosity.
Our natural state.
Like I said before
we go outside and we are just
totally convinced of the natural state of the sun.
I started to slowly become convinced of my natural state
of complete abundance of benefit and generosity
whether I had money data streams of lack.
What such an abundance of total empowerment is that?
Each of us can sit here and
think up the worst thoughts about our
conjure up all of these worst thoughts about money. Maybe we won't even have
enough money to get to the end of the gate or, I don't know.
And yet our minds are always relaxed and at ease
there's total freedom
total joy I find
in each of these perceptions. And for me, the money data streams have
provided the most empowerment.
So if you have them
you're so lucky
so lucky.
What an incredible resource you have.
What an incredible resource to train up
education in the reality as it is.
