For me it’s really exciting to know that there is a proper education in the nature of intelligence.
That it’s available and it’s so available that anyone can get it really quickly and easily
and with great fun and ease like we’ve done here in the last three months or four months
and also all over the world. It’s so easy that it’s unbelievable almost,
how easy it is to get to know ourselves as open intelligence.
Educate our self in the nature of mind.
Something that was totally complicated before, you know
even just sometimes thinking about the mind or the term open intelligence.
For me, immediately in the past, there was a picture of a mountain
somewhere remote where you need to walk and little mushrooms
where maybe I can find some hidden treasures of maybe recognition of something.
And then also I will need to learn a new language and of course I’ll need to be a man
in order to receive this opportunity to be educated in the nature of mind.
And now, really without any effort just with great openness,
we have everything that is available to us.
Complete education in the nature of mind, with no, nothing misleading,
nothing in the way for you to gain complete assurance and confidence
in your nature as a benefit creator.
All of us, we have amazing capacity to be of benefit.
This is our birthright; this is the most basic human right.
You can shout forever about many rights and human rights,
but there’s nothing more basic then getting to know ourselves as we truly are.
How we work, how we operate.
What is going on here, basically?
Something I ask myself since I could ask questions.
So, in Balanced View we call this nature of mind,
this basis of all experiences, we call it open intelligence.
And to get to know it, you stop thinking for a moment and see what remains.
A sense of alertness, cognizance —open intelligence remains.
This is it. You might want to complicate it,
but there’s no need to complicate it, ‘cause it’s not a special state.
I’m sorry to disappoint some people who might be still seeking a special state,
but it’s not a special state. It’s a state that is always on and it includes all states.
And then when we stop thinking for a moment, we recognize this stability, clarity, cognizance
—what we call open intelligence. And then of course
all of our thoughts, emotions, and sensations, they jump in.
Like for example, “It’s really hot,” “I know it already”,
“I have stomach pain,” “Oh why did I eat the profiteroles?”
I don’t even know how you call it, the sweet in the breakfast. How do you call it?
Yeah exactly, something roll.
And you know, “It’s too sweet" or "I’m so arrogant and prideful”,
“I wish I was married,” you know, an entire display of data streams.
An entire display of complete, dynamic energy, you know.
One of the first thing we start to see is that, what we call data streams
they are simply the dynamic energy of open intelligence.
Simply the dynamic energy of open intelligence,
simply the dynamic energy of your own open intelligence.
Nothing else. And they’re inseparable from open intelligence.
Like the colour blue and the sky, we can’t separate them, we don’t even want to do that,
it doesn’t make sense. Same with all of our experiences in open intelligence.
So, once we know that we can enjoy freedom in immediacy of perception,
regardless of what the perception is.
And this is what we come back to in short moments of open intelligence,
repeated many times, until it becomes continuous.
The instinctive recognition of open intelligence becomes continuous day and night.
So no longer for me, like, all the special states that I was looking after,
and I was really desperate to stay there and hold on to them,
now it’s like, “Okay, that was funny, that was interesting.
Lots of fun, lots of local buses in India, lots of hopes and fears.”
But, once I have the opportunity and the education
to know that it’s available for me in every given moment,
one moment at a time, again, you know, its quite simple again.
So, that’s what I choose in every moment, to rely on open intelligence
rather than emphasis my data streams.
Whether they are good, bad, or neutral.
They’re all equal appearances of open intelligence,
like appearances in a crystal ball for example.
Like the crystal ball reflects everything equally, right?
Like it’s pristine and all the appearances are inseparable from it.
So, you have a good appearance the crystal ball doesn’t go and analysis why it’s there.
It continues on and reflecting everything equally,
the bad and the neutral as well. Everything is the dynamic energy of benefit.
This is how we learn to be the tower, I learnt to be,
or to come to terms with my innate capacity to be of benefit—my deep wish.
All of my life I wanted to be of benefit.
I just didn’t have the education, you know. Like all of my life I wanted to learn Spanish.
I didn’t wait and hoped for someday that Spanish will dawn at me, on me.
I took a Spanish book and I started to learn, I talked with other people
who are speaking Spanish, I listen to talks in Spanish
and now I know few words in Spanish. Hola!
So, you know same like when we take something so basic as education in the nature of mind.
Thinking that will do something and maybe it will reach to us—it’s very primitive.
But if we take a stand then we take, you know, just be powerful and stand up and say,
“Okay, you know I admit. Didn’t know about this education in the nature of mind;
now want to know about it, can you support me?” And the answer is— yes!
You can totally be supported by the Four Mainstays lifestyle, it’s not like,
“Oh yes, maybe, but please change this kind of negative data
and come back to us next year when you are fixed.”
No! It’s actually, “Wow, yeah, great, are you open for that? Are you ready?
Are you ready to see everything fully?”
And we are there to support you in every given way. In every possible way.
So, this is my experience over the last six years of knowing the Balanced View Training
and actually taking a stand and saying, “Okay, I lived in a primitive way
and I don’t want to harm myself any more and I don’t want to harm anyone else anymore
and now I’m going to start and educated myself with the Four Mainstays of Balanced View.”
It’s very cool and so simple, really like the Spanish example, “Oh, when will it come?”
Just go ahead and do it! You know. Put yourself in an environment
where people are relying on open intelligence. I wouldn’t go to the place you just described,
it sounds like a potential nightmare.
So, I would definitely try to be in a place where I’m accepted,
I’m loved totally, I’m respected for everything I have,
people want to know my strengths, gifts and talents and there is openness for me to contribute them.
Otherwise, I won’t be there. And in California we have an amazing community
so we can share with you some details, open hearts, open minds and maybe a bed or two
for you to be there. That’s the life of the Four Mainstays.
Really, I’m travelling all over the world, you know. I have the best,
the best, I don’t know even to call it, “job” will be weird,
‘cause I don’t feel like it’s a job. I’m moving gracefully with the community,
all over the world, meeting people who are open like a cloudless sky.
Choosing to devote their life for the benefit of all
and sharing my experience about it and working on amazing projects.
And I see it everywhere. It’s not just here in Goa and it’s not just in Israel.
And there is a community in Israel, yesterday I met fifteen of them
via live stream and beautiful you know. Like in Sweden we have an amazing centre
with lots of lakes and green gardens, organic gardens and
lots of text in education in the nature of mind and beautiful people who will support you.
So for me, I choose not to compromise even one more second of my life.
I know where my power is and I’ll do everything to support it to shine.
‘Cause all of us we deserve to shine every moment.
Not just some times when there is good weather and nice data streams.
Shine all of the time, really, and if you’re up for it, everything is available for you to experience it.
And being in an intimate relationship, also there the context of the relationship changed—completely.
From, I can share my experience, from being a victim of my data streams and then of course,
I need to victimise my partner ‘cause I’m a victim of my data streams, now it doesn’t work like that.
I see her, my partner, my beautiful partner, as a completely empowered human being.
And I don’t want to change anything about her. Even the annoying things that jumped,
you know, some times in a couple, they still jump up by the way,
they still appear, the annoying things that you don’t like.
Like for me, something that really annoys me is that the,
is that the light is turned on in the shower after
the shower is complete, you know. It used to drive me crazy,
now I take few short moments, I state my view in a loving way
and I go to the switch and I turn it off. Wow!
Practical wisdom in every given moment. You know, before would be,
“Okay, mmm, she’s doing it again. She’s probably doing it to annoy me.
Anyway, I had such a bad day and I woke up with negative
data streams like I do in the last thirty years.
So, why the world is so miserable and why there’s no peace in the Middle East and?”
Woah, woah, relax. Take a short, you know, take a moment
and see the pristine space which includes and contains everything,
subsume all data —all negativity as well.
I’m like a walking experiment of total negativity, shining forth.
Negativity galore, every, every possible data.
You know you would arrest me if you know what I have in my mind right now.
You know it’s really so negative that I don’t know how I can continue to live life like that!
But with the Four Mainstays I’m like, “I don’t really care which data appears for me,
it really doesn’t matter.” For me, it’s the commitment, the moment to moment commitment,
to be empowered and not to live as a victim anymore.
And then you can have any negative state or positive state, it really does not matter.
So, a life of waiting for positive states—it’s a bad joke.
I tried to do some southern accent there, didn’t work.
That’s how bad it is, you know it’s a bad joke.
And then we shared that there was a question also about all the Ism and belief systems.
And Ism that and Nihilism and Spiritualism and Communism.
These are belief systems and assumptions and you can say belief systems and assumptions
are data streams shining forth within open intelligence.
If we are ignoring the source of them —open intelligence—they will be very limiting.
There will be just ideas that we somehow convinced ourselves that they are reality.
But in reality, the reality that really works and clarifies all confusion
and all nice ideas and all belief system—is open intelligence.
So for me also, I had many ‘Ism’ stuck in my mind.
I thought they were stuck in my mind. I was born in this way with many Idealism— Ism.
And after doing the Twelve Empowerments, which is,
I don’t even know how to call it, like this genius, incredible training
that if you don’t do it, I’m really, wow, I can’t believe why don’t you do it?
And you know that would be my take on that.
All of my belief systems were clarified, even the ones that I took to be totally myself.
Like being a vegetarian for example, this was my most
emphasised data stream: being a vegetarian.
And nothing wrong with it and I still don’t eat meant, I admit,
but all the tension around it and the hate and arrogance? I can’t find them anymore.
But what I’m clarifying is the benefit of all starts to be the case in every given moment.
What will be of most benefit to all? No longer emphasising a separate identity,
this is deadening, it’s boring and it’s devitalizing.
To emphasis a separate identity that need to reach some kind of a special state
or special career, special life circumstance.
I mean look at us, how brilliant we are.
What we achieve this season together. So many new people
came to know the Training. So many people who already been involved in the Training
have the opportunity to recognize even more open intelligence in their everyday life.
I feel so empowered, like I came here a certain way, three months ago,
now I feel like a totally, wow, totally empowered human being.
I was before as well, but now it’s like upgraded a million times,
like I can’t even believe it—just by being in the Four Mainstays environment.
Short moments is the first Mainstay. The training itself,
which is unending trainings in exhaustible benefit treasure, golden texts
that elicit and evoke the instinctive recognition.
Or MP3s, or videos, the trainer who is someone who is there to support us completely,
with no hide outs and the community of Balanced View, which is us here
and all over the world. There are thousands of people enjoying this recognition.
So my heartfelt advice from experience of six years is really to immerse yourself as much as possible,
‘cause this is what works. Thinking about open intelligence will not work.
Sorry friends, it will not work to intellectualise the nature of reality.
It will not work and it never work to anyone,
so if you are ready there’s something that really works for everyone.
And ask the people who are sitting here and ask them, “How is it?
How is it for you and how do you rely on the Four Mainstays and
how is to live a life without any complication what so ever?”
In confusion, there’s no confusion. In doubt, there is no doubt.
In lack of recognition of open intelligence, there is no lack of recognition.
Freedom in immediacy of perception, freedom for the benefit of all.
