Transcripts
this is about helping other people so
last over the last year or two my
mother's been dying with cancer and I've
been learning about nality at the same
time um
and I suppose I've wanted to help her to
comfort her and
see as well as I love you I'm there for
you I can help you in practical ways
I've been thinking you know can I use
what I'm learning of these teachings to
give her a sense of Peace about P she's
actually survived cancer thankfully for
now um but you know I D have said to her
you were never born and you'll never
die as I've heard you say you know in
your talks and I just think what a Prat
to say that to his mom Mike you're right
it would not be appropriate to say that
to your mother but but it it nor is it
necessary to say that in order to convey
the truth of that
statement how do you convey the truth of
that
statement just by being at peace in her
presence if you are at peace in her
presence in other words if you are
established in being as being you
subliminally convey that to her you take
her non
verbally to her true nature and she will
just feel oh when Mikey comes to see me
I feel relieved of a burden he never
says anything he just chats about the
weather and but when he goes I I've just
been relieved of a but I just feel at
peace so you put her in touch with the
Peace of her true nature you don't need
to tell her it's Eternal or unborn or
but in that moment she
because when you're peace in the moment
you're not thinking about you you don't
need to know about being born and down
you're not afraid of that because you're
at you're at peace you're at rest that's
all she wants it's it's the it's the
greatest gift you could give your mother
now is just is just to bring her to give
her a taste of her innate peace and all
you need to do to do that is to be at
peace yourself you go and talk about the
weather or talk about your old summer
holidays on the beach or talk about
anything just be at peace yourself and
PE pie like uh pieces like Co it's it's
contagious you catch it very easily and
you just you just near somebody and you
catch it it head you must have if she's
mourning
mourning like now afraid of becoming ill
again and you know okay is there no way
to make sure that you are not afraid of
her becoming ill again and your
fearlessness will communicate itself
wordlessly to her and would that be your
advice in general helping anyone want
say my niece has got a
problem my brother it's difficult to say
because that there are no prescriptions
you just have to you have to tailor it
to to the moment if your if your niece
has got troubles you you you might want
to get get involved with with with the
troubles you may want to explore them so
and and there's a I don't mean to imply
that there isn't a place
for explicitly exploring particular
issues in life in relationship in work
to do with finances or health that there
is so if your niece comes to you for
financial advice or what then then then
engage her at that level but the real
help you give her is not at that level
the real help that the conversation is
the packaging is the envelope the real
content of your help is
the
this subliminal communication of of um
imperturbable Peace and causeless
joy if you are peaceful for no if if you
are established in being as being which
like the space of this room cannot be
disturbed it doesn't derive its peace
from circumstances it is prior to and
independent of it's the peace that
passeth understanding the peace that
can't be touched by what does or does
not happen in experience if you are
established l in that it will
communicate itself and if your quiet Joy
is not as a result of anything that is
or is not taking place in the world you
will communicate that somehow
subliminally without your even trying or
you just help her with her financial
problems but be established in this
imperturbable peace and causeless
joy so quick 20 minute meditation before
I get on the phone 20 minute meditation
before you you get on the phone and then
um continue that undercurrent of
meditation during the
conversation yes yeah and and and your
niece will pick it up over the phone you
don't even have to be there over the
phone something
about the the warmth in your
voice the quiet humor something whatever
it is because you'll just be being
spontaneous just responding to meeting
her wherever she is but the quality that
is informing your conversation will
communicate itself through your
conversation and she'll feel relieved of
her burden at the end of the
conversation to to a
degree she'll think oh I I like talking
to Uncle Mike I'm going to call him a
bit more often yeah not too much yeah no
no no no
