Transcripts
when you say you are different from
me you you refer to me the body that you
see
here the thoughts and feelings that I am
expressing in words the sensations that
I'm having all of those are
different from the thoughts that you are
having for instance I don't know what
thought you are having
now and you only know what thought I'm
having now because I'm speaking it but
you don't know for instance what
Sensations I'm
experiencing so in that sense our
objective experience is
different in fact our objective
experience never meets your thoughts and
my thoughts never touch each other your
Sensations and my Sensations never touch
each
other they're
private they're separate
but if you were to ask yourself the
question what is it that knows or is
aware
of all these separate thoughts and
feelings your mind would begin to
Journey back towards its source towards
that which is aware of
experience and if I were to ask myself
the same question what is it that knows
or is aware of my experience my mind
would start journeying back away from
the thoughts Sensations and perceptions
that it knows towards the source of its
knowing yes in other words both of our
minds would begin to trace their way
back to to their source and as they
trace their way back to their Source the
Mind becomes less and less
objective because it's not directing
itself towards an object towards of
thought in other words it becomes more
transparent it's like imagine two people
on a
screen the two people feel that they're
separate they're not touching each other
yes they're totally different one's a
man one's a woman one's tall one's short
one's English one's French Etc but what
happens if both the characters in the
movie begin to ask themselves the
question what am I really made of what
is my reality who am I
they both start traveling backwards to
begin with they go into their bodies and
their minds but if they don't stop
with feelings and thoughts if they go on
back and back and back what is it that
is aware of my experience they both
arrive at the screen the same
screen that is the experience of love
the recognition that what we essentially
are
is not similar but the same there is
only one
being each of our minds
shares its
origin irrespective of the content of
our
experience so you you you started your
question by saying I I something like I
feel that we are essentially one or the
the same one that comes from an
intuition and we all have this intuition
we've all had the experience of being in
love or simply
loving a friend or an
animal that that experience is the
intuition of our shared
being
and is it not the experience that we
value above all other
experiences can you imagine each of us
on our deathbeds being asked the
question what was the single most
important experience in your
life wouldn't most of us say love or
some
such it's what we value above all else
it's what we desire Above All Else
in fact the vast majority of the mind's
activity is simply
to be relieved of its limitations and to
know itself as it
is
then essentially there is no difference
between you me or anyone but on the body
or anything or anything but and on a
body level we are separate
yes if if we admit that there are
physical bodies made out of stuff called
matter let's presume that that is so
let's take the conventional model there
are physical bodies made out of stuff
called matter at that level yes we can
say those bodies
are relatively separate e even on a
materialistic
level the the separation model doesn't
work because your body and my body are
nourished by the same air by the same
Earth so even at a materialistic level
our bodies are not really separate they
are intimately in contact with the
environment and with all other beings so
even at a materialistic level the the
separation model simply doesn't work
even less so at the spiritual or the
deeper level where we don't admit this
dead inert stuff called matter where we
see everything is taking place in
Consciousness made of
Consciousness where we see all
experience as a as a play of infinite
Consciousness a play of God's infinite
being
but but then if I say I
I I don't know how
to
say I'll just give an example that if I
look at you or if I look at this guy
next to
me there is a different feeling about it
but still it arises in the same and it
is essentially the same yes exactly it
doesn't mean that
we have
to it doesn't mean that we can't respect
at a relative level
differences and be and not behave
appropriately we can respect differences
at a relative level and we should do so
and behave
accordingly you can have some types of
relationship with some people and other
types of relationship with other
people most of us have an intimate
relationship with one person we have
close friendships with a circle of
people we have business relationships
with other people other people are
strangers to us so it's fine for there
to be for instance different types of
relationships or different types of
activities but what's important is to
hold in our hearts the Deep feeling
understanding
that ultimately all beings and all
things because we don't really admit
things made out of dead inert stuff
called matter here there's
no all so-called things are appearances
in Consciousness made of Consciousness
so so we hold in our hearts the Deep
feeling understanding that what we
essentially are what everything
essentially is and what everyone
essentially is is the same being the
same infinite Consciousness and we allow
that deep feeling understanding to
inform our relative interactions with
people and situations and
objects doesn't mean you have to smile
sweetly at
everybody you might smile sweetly to to
many people but there may be C other
situations that you come across in life
that don't require a sweet smile that
requires something a little sharper or
firmer that's fine but just once you
either know or have the Deep intuition
that everyone and everything is a
modulation of the same infinite self the
same infinite being then allow that to
inform all your relative
interactions and
relationships allow that understanding
to modulate itself or tailor itself to
every situation
