Beyond good and bad,[br]beyond right and wrong,

0:00:07.034,0:00:11.254
beyond labels of pain and pleasure,[br]there is simply this field

0:00:11.254,0:00:15.473
of changing phenomena, [br]or what IS.

0:00:15.473,0:00:23.953
Unmediated by the evaluating mind,[br]unmediated by the 'I' thought.

0:00:23.953,0:00:27.838
And when we meet [br]in this empty fullness,

0:00:27.838,0:00:33.078
these words 'I' and 'you' [br]no longer make sense.

0:00:33.085,0:00:39.695
To try to hold on to stillness, or to [br]push away the world of duality is futile,

0:00:39.695,0:00:44.407
because they are both [br]inseparably this One field.

0:00:44.407,0:00:50.900
Form is exactly emptiness, [br]emptiness is exactly form.

0:00:50.900,0:00:56.630
To try to comprehend this with the limited[br]mind, is the greatest of mistakes.

0:00:56.630,0:01:00.590
Let the mind be a 'don't know mind'.

0:01:00.590,0:01:07.345
When this filter is dropped, [br]we experience the field directly.

0:01:07.345,0:01:11.415
Let the Mind relax and settle itself.

0:01:11.415,0:01:19.708
Don't resist the mind, but yet [br]don't get caught in the mind.

0:01:20.950,0:01:25.320
Whatever you try to hold, [br]slips out of your grasp.

0:01:25.320,0:01:29.540
And whatever you resist persists.

0:01:29.540,0:01:37.210
Therefore or to come to stillness,[br]let go into the moving stream.

0:01:37.210,0:01:44.398
Then both stillness [br]and movement disappear.

0:01:45.810,0:01:53.310
Meditation is not the path [br]to liberation, it IS liberation.

0:01:53.310,0:01:59.660
True meditation is the dropping[br]of the doer, dropping of the meditator

0:01:59.660,0:02:04.240
and simply abiding [br]in direct presence.

0:02:04.240,0:02:10.987
It is being here now. In a way that[br]is not mediated by the 'I' thought.

0:02:10.987,0:02:17.867
The ego or the 'I' thought is [br]simply resistance to what is.

0:02:17.867,0:02:23.447
To meditate is to let go, [br]or surrender that resisting ego,

0:02:23.447,0:02:28.787
burning up all unconscious patterns[br]within the conditioned self.

0:02:28.787,0:02:33.666
This form of meditation [br]is not separate from your life.

0:02:33.666,0:02:38.926
True meditation is coming into [br]direct experience with life itself.

0:02:38.926,0:02:47.134
It IS life.

0:02:47.134,0:02:50.274
