Hello there ...
3
00:00:40,485 --> 00:00:45,341
Spiritual argument so often whittles down
to an argument about semantics.
4
00:00:45,341 --> 00:00:49,193
But for the sake of today's episode,
let me play with semantics
5
00:00:49,193 --> 00:00:52,217
so as to facilitate your understanding of something
6
00:00:52,217 --> 00:00:56,125
which can ultimately only be experienced
through felt perception.
7
00:00:56,125 --> 00:01:00,966
Thousands of years ago it was said
that Desire is the root of Suffering.
8
00:01:00,966 --> 00:01:02,716
Is this true?
9
00:01:02,716 --> 00:01:03,624
No.
10
00:01:03,624 --> 00:01:05,964
It turns out that it is not true.
11
00:01:05,964 --> 00:01:09,674
The word that was used was "Taṇhā".
12
00:01:09,689 --> 00:01:11,593
Now, the translation of "Taṇhā"
13
00:01:11,593 --> 00:01:15,736
if you were to take it directly is Thirst.
14
00:01:15,736 --> 00:01:18,963
So what is the difference
between Thirst and Desire?
15
00:01:18,963 --> 00:01:22,034
A whole lot!
16
00:01:22,034 --> 00:01:29,683
Thirst and Desire are the opposite
sides of the same coin.
17
00:01:29,683 --> 00:01:34,144
Thirst is the shadow-side of Desire.
18
00:01:34,148 --> 00:01:38,068
In other words, think of choice as a two-sided coin.
19
00:01:38,068 --> 00:01:43,354
On one side there is Desire,
on the other side there is Thirst.
20
00:01:43,354 --> 00:01:48,460
Thirst is the shadow-side of Desire
on this coin called Choice.
21
00:01:48,460 --> 00:01:51,419
Thirst implies that there is a 'lack', first,
22
00:01:51,419 --> 00:01:56,286
and that the 'lack' is what is motivating
the craving that we are calling 'Desire'.
23
00:01:56,286 --> 00:01:59,265
Thirst is an 'attachment'.
24
00:01:59,265 --> 00:02:02,469
An attachment is 'craving of something' -
25
00:02:02,469 --> 00:02:06,791
which is motivated by an aversion to something.
26
00:02:06,803 --> 00:02:10,158
The root of suffering therefore
is the state of perpetual movement
27
00:02:10,158 --> 00:02:14,878
from aversion towards its opposite attachment
28
00:02:14,878 --> 00:02:20,490
(the thing we crave,
because of our acute awareness, of the lack of It).
29
00:02:21,467 --> 00:02:27,974
Attachment which is the by-product of Thirst
is nothing more than an addiction.
30
00:02:27,974 --> 00:02:30,651
It's the desperate craving for something
31
00:02:30,654 --> 00:02:34,559
because of something else that we're trying to avoid.
32
00:02:34,559 --> 00:02:39,115
There is a difference between
a craving and a desire.
33
00:02:39,115 --> 00:02:43,248
The craving is the shadow-aspect of desire.
34
00:02:43,248 --> 00:02:49,014
It is always the by-product of perceiving
some kind of a 'deprivation'.
35
00:02:49,014 --> 00:02:50,978
Desire is not bad.
36
00:02:50,978 --> 00:02:55,999
In fact, you could not escape from Desire in this lifetime if you wanted to,
37
00:02:55,999 --> 00:03:00,186
nor would you want to, if you really understood what it was.
38
00:03:00,186 --> 00:03:04,398
You can however, transmute it - you can exalt it.
39
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:09,209
Desire in its purest form is like a "Yes!" to an experience -
40
00:03:09,209 --> 00:03:11,521
nothing more and nothing less.
41
00:03:12,341 --> 00:03:15,479
It is the "Yes" that occurs from sorting through the Contrast
42
00:03:15,479 --> 00:03:18,454
but that is not the by-product of a "No".
43
00:03:18,964 --> 00:03:19,454
In other words,
44
00:03:19,454 --> 00:03:24,951
it is a "Yes" to experience (or the choice of an experience),
that is not motivated by aversion,
45
00:03:24,954 --> 00:03:28,477
and thus, it does not take-on the form of Attachment.
46
00:03:29,147 --> 00:03:32,562
Desire in its pure form is absent of Resistance.
47
00:03:32,562 --> 00:03:34,880
It is a tool of the True Self.
48
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:39,903
It facilitates Expansion, and Self-Awareness,
and Self-Realization.
49
00:03:39,903 --> 00:03:41,766
Craving is a tool of the Ego.
50
00:03:42,786 --> 00:03:45,800
Are you ready for a bitch-slap?
51
00:03:45,803 --> 00:03:50,952
'Ego' is not a word that the Buddha even knew!
52
00:03:50,952 --> 00:03:53,303
If you said 'Ego' to the Buddha,
53
00:03:53,312 --> 00:03:56,365
he would be completely confused about what you meant.
54
00:03:56,365 --> 00:03:58,642
It is in fact a Freudian term -
55
00:03:58,642 --> 00:04:02,248
a Freudian term which was adopted into Buddhist circles
56
00:04:02,248 --> 00:04:05,704
and used to apply to the teachings of Buddha.
57
00:04:05,704 --> 00:04:09,192
It was simply the best way
that we could describe the difference
58
00:04:09,192 --> 00:04:13,215
between an enlightened perspective
where there is no separate Self,
59
00:04:13,215 --> 00:04:17,623
and the unenlightened perspective
where there is a separate sense of Self.
60
00:04:17,623 --> 00:04:21,459
Later, Jung called this the Shadow Aspect -
61
00:04:21,471 --> 00:04:24,728
meaning Conscious versus Not-Conscious.
62
00:04:24,728 --> 00:04:27,958
When the Buddha accurately described
his Enlightenment experience,
63
00:04:27,958 --> 00:04:33,244
what he was trying to explain
was that he observed a polarity inherent within him
64
00:04:33,244 --> 00:04:38,455
such as Truth & Illusion, Conscious & Unconscious,
Suffering & Happiness.
65
00:04:38,456 --> 00:04:43,324
And that Enlightenment transcended all polarity
(which it does).
66
00:04:43,324 --> 00:04:46,331
Enlightenment is not Happiness any more than it is Suffering -
67
00:04:46,331 --> 00:04:48,437
it is liberation from Polarity.
68
00:04:48,965 --> 00:04:53,555
Up till now,
all movement within this Universe has taken place
69
00:04:53,555 --> 00:04:57,078
because someone wants to move towards something
70
00:04:57,078 --> 00:05:00,947
because they want to move away from something else.
71
00:05:00,949 --> 00:05:03,651
They want to move towards something that is wanted
72
00:05:03,651 --> 00:05:07,985
because they want to move away
from something that is unwanted.
73
00:05:07,992 --> 00:05:11,141
This 'pain' is the Eternal Condition.
74
00:05:12,954 --> 00:05:16,752
That is, until it is no longer the condition.
75
00:05:16,752 --> 00:05:20,108
When you live your life
moving away from negative towards positive
76
00:05:20,108 --> 00:05:21,883
you are always in motion.
77
00:05:21,883 --> 00:05:25,680
You can never stop to smell the roses
in the present moment, so to speak.
78
00:05:25,690 --> 00:05:27,882
All decision are made by 'pain'.
79
00:05:27,890 --> 00:05:32,277
All decisions are the by-product of
trying to move away from pain.
80
00:05:32,277 --> 00:05:36,138
Imagine a life where there is nothing that you wish
to move away from ...
81
00:05:36,138 --> 00:05:40,707
Life is lived for Joy in total non-resistance to Pain.
82
00:05:40,707 --> 00:05:42,565
In order to end this Trail of Tears,
83
00:05:42,565 --> 00:05:45,590
this perpetual movement away & towards ...
84
00:05:45,590 --> 00:05:47,020
... away & towards ...
85
00:05:47,020 --> 00:05:49,489
this movement from aversion towards craving
86
00:05:49,489 --> 00:05:51,775
(which is all that Attachment really is),
87
00:05:51,781 --> 00:05:54,782
we turn in the direction of our aversion.
88
00:05:54,784 --> 00:05:57,509
We sit with it completely, we embrace it.
89
00:05:57,509 --> 00:05:59,563
We are unconditional towards It
90
00:05:59,563 --> 00:06:04,250
because we let It know that we are willing to experience it
without needing It to change.
91
00:06:04,250 --> 00:06:05,150
We are set free
92
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,891
because of our willingness to bring
the Light of the Presence of our Consciousness
93
00:06:08,896 --> 00:06:13,019
into the Shadow of the Absence of our Consciousness.
94
00:06:13,019 --> 00:06:16,188
We no longer have an aversion to our Aversion
95
00:06:16,191 --> 00:06:18,775
and so, it is no longer our master.
96
00:06:18,775 --> 00:06:22,471
Desire is transmuted because it is free of its Shadow.
97
00:06:22,471 --> 00:06:27,213
And free of its Shadow,
there is no longer a need for reincarnation.
98
00:06:27,213 --> 00:06:31,765
The craving for reincarnation
is gone from our Soul itself.
99
00:06:31,765 --> 00:06:36,230
The Soul now chooses from a place
not motivated by Aversion, or, Craving.
100
00:06:37,584 --> 00:06:43,136
The process of Spiritual Awakening
happens in three distinct steps.
101
00:06:43,142 --> 00:06:47,866
Now, we have to understand, of course,
that there could potentially, in future, be more steps
102
00:06:47,866 --> 00:06:49,623
but for the sake of your understanding,
103
00:06:49,623 --> 00:06:56,508
I have whittled Awakening down to
these primary three steps - like the Holy Trinity.
104
00:06:56,515 --> 00:06:59,393
I'm going to explain these steps to you now ...
105
00:06:59,399 --> 00:07:02,843
Firstly comes "Spirituality 101":
106
00:07:02,844 --> 00:07:06,964
It dawns on you that you might actually
be capable of creating your reality.
107
00:07:06,978 --> 00:07:08,559
You might actually be free.
108
00:07:08,559 --> 00:07:13,167
It might actually be a choice for you to be happy,
instead of miserable.
109
00:07:13,167 --> 00:07:15,656
And so, you go in the direction of happiness.
110
00:07:15,656 --> 00:07:17,299
You focus positively.
111
00:07:17,299 --> 00:07:21,791
You do anything you can do
to add to the well-being of your life.
112
00:07:21,791 --> 00:07:24,146
You are flowing in the direction of your Joy.
113
00:07:24,149 --> 00:07:26,508
You are allowing your Joy.
114
00:07:27,204 --> 00:07:29,863
You prioritize how you feel above all else,
115
00:07:29,863 --> 00:07:32,782
your life is dedicated to feeling 'better'.
116
00:07:32,793 --> 00:07:35,218
You finally let yourself have what you want.
117
00:07:35,218 --> 00:07:39,471
But still you want those things
because of aversions to other things.
118
00:07:39,471 --> 00:07:42,802
You are still running from feeling crappy.
119
00:07:42,806 --> 00:07:44,238
You begin to feel, deep-down,
120
00:07:44,238 --> 00:07:48,221
that this is an endless-cycle of
Aversion & Craving, Unwanted & Wanted.
121
00:07:48,221 --> 00:07:50,585
No matter what you get, you want more.
122
00:07:50,590 --> 00:07:53,813
This is no longer as satisfying as it once was,
123
00:07:53,818 --> 00:07:58,838
so it is time for the second step - "Spirituality 2.0".
124
00:08:00,568 --> 00:08:06,474
In Spirituality 2.0,
you realize that all movement towards your desires
125
00:08:06,474 --> 00:08:11,798
is movement away from something that is unwanted
that will never stop chasing you.
126
00:08:11,798 --> 00:08:16,131
Just like a storm or a tornado,
that's gonna chase you from place to place.
127
00:08:16,131 --> 00:08:19,802
You decide that the answer
is to turn in the direction of your aversion,
128
00:08:19,802 --> 00:08:22,706
and to walk straight into the center of that storm.
129
00:08:22,706 --> 00:08:25,090
Instead of allowing your positive emotions
130
00:08:25,096 --> 00:08:28,775
now you begin the practice of
allowing your negative emotions,
131
00:08:28,775 --> 00:08:31,185
so that there is no longer resistance to them.
132
00:08:31,185 --> 00:08:33,975
You're integrating and you're becoming whole.
133
00:08:33,977 --> 00:08:36,685
The Unconscious is becoming Conscious.
134
00:08:36,690 --> 00:08:38,834
Craving is becoming pure Desire.
135
00:08:38,834 --> 00:08:40,208
You're becoming whole
136
00:08:40,211 --> 00:08:43,578
as the Shadow is no longer separated
from the light of Consciousness.
137
00:08:43,578 --> 00:08:47,521
Instead of feeling better, your aim
is to get better at feeling.
138
00:08:47,521 --> 00:08:51,518
You end up in the present moment
with no aversions and thus no craving.
139
00:08:51,518 --> 00:08:53,059
You are not going anywhere -
140
00:08:53,059 --> 00:08:55,797
Past ceases to motivate you towards the Future,
141
00:08:55,797 --> 00:08:58,443
and you are left squarely in the present moment -
142
00:08:58,443 --> 00:09:02,411
and then, you are ready for "Spirituality 3.0".
143
00:09:03,204 --> 00:09:05,789
In Spirituality 3.0 you can choose to
144
00:09:05,789 --> 00:09:10,160
deliberately create in your Reality
because of Desire.
145
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:14,570
But that desire is no longer motivated
by aversions to something.
146
00:09:14,570 --> 00:09:20,535
Because of this,
Spirituality 3.0 is the realm that we call Choice.
147
00:09:20,535 --> 00:09:21,845
Instead of craving,
148
00:09:21,845 --> 00:09:25,967
we recognize our infinite creator-nature and choose -
149
00:09:25,967 --> 00:09:29,484
choose to be wealthy or not -
not from a place of pain.
150
00:09:29,484 --> 00:09:30,457
In other words,
151
00:09:30,457 --> 00:09:32,309
"I don't want money because I'm poor ... "
152
00:09:32,309 --> 00:09:34,657
"I want it because I'm curious about that perspective, "
153
00:09:34,657 --> 00:09:36,807
"like I want strawberry ice-cream."
154
00:09:36,807 --> 00:09:38,566
"I don't want strawberry ice-cream because "
155
00:09:38,566 --> 00:09:42,374
"I so, so, so, don't-want chocolate ice-cream!"
156
00:09:42,494 --> 00:09:46,211
Inspiration is what causes our movement
towards things that we choose.
157
00:09:46,211 --> 00:09:47,898
We are completely in the Now.
158
00:09:47,898 --> 00:09:50,934
No Past is projecting into our Present or Future.
159
00:09:50,934 --> 00:09:54,491
The state of Spirituality 3.0 arises organically,
160
00:09:54,491 --> 00:09:57,699
as a result of shining the Light into the Shadow.
161
00:09:58,465 --> 00:10:01,772
To begin with, you start in 'Unconscious'.
162
00:10:01,772 --> 00:10:03,373
You are asleep.
163
00:10:03,373 --> 00:10:05,604
And you are not aware that you are asleep.
164
00:10:05,604 --> 00:10:10,398
When you begin to wake up
you begin to notice the polarity of your existence.
165
00:10:10,398 --> 00:10:12,012
You start to see that there might be
166
00:10:12,012 --> 00:10:14,883
a Light-side and a Shadow-Side to that which is You.
167
00:10:14,883 --> 00:10:18,242
You recognize the difference between Positive and Negative.
168
00:10:18,242 --> 00:10:19,479
And because you notice
169
00:10:19,479 --> 00:10:23,692
that so much of your Shadow-side
is creating the reality that you live in,
170
00:10:23,692 --> 00:10:27,025
you do anything that you can to crawl into the Light,
171
00:10:27,025 --> 00:10:30,471
out of that dark abyss that you have been living your life in.
172
00:10:30,471 --> 00:10:33,625
This is Spirituality 101.
173
00:10:33,625 --> 00:10:36,131
In Spirituality 2.0,
174
00:10:36,131 --> 00:10:39,332
after we have reached that 'Conscious' state
175
00:10:39,332 --> 00:10:42,044
(we've crawled out of that hole into the light),
176
00:10:42,044 --> 00:10:44,703
we capture that light that is Consciousness
177
00:10:44,703 --> 00:10:48,611
and we descend back into the abyss of our own Shadow.
178
00:10:48,611 --> 00:10:50,708
With the light of Consciousness,
179
00:10:50,708 --> 00:10:56,131
that Shadow which we descend into ceases to be 'shadow'.
180
00:10:56,131 --> 00:11:00,260
And then we evolve into Spirituality 3.0.
181
00:11:00,260 --> 00:11:03,124
The Unconscious becomes Conscious.
182
00:11:03,124 --> 00:11:04,989
Polarity dissipates.
183
00:11:04,989 --> 00:11:07,092
You are Whole, in and of yourself.
184
00:11:07,092 --> 00:11:13,190
You experience true peace -
which is the transcendence of Opposites.
185
00:11:13,190 --> 00:11:15,399
Peace is not what we think it is.
186
00:11:15,399 --> 00:11:17,158
It is not just 'getting-along'.
187
00:11:17,158 --> 00:11:19,288
It is not just the absence of war.
188
00:11:19,288 --> 00:11:22,006
It is the absence of internal conflict,
189
00:11:22,006 --> 00:11:24,356
and thus, the absence of external conflict.
190
00:11:25,346 --> 00:11:28,435
It is the absence of Opposition and Polarity.
191
00:11:28,435 --> 00:11:31,933
It is the center point of the symbol of Eternity -
192
00:11:31,933 --> 00:11:35,723
no Opposites, only one unified Beingness.
193
00:11:35,723 --> 00:11:38,924
That is the state that we have called Enlightenment.
194
00:11:38,924 --> 00:11:42,013
And the state of Enlightenment is not a state of 'retirement'.
195
00:11:42,013 --> 00:11:47,094
It is more like the by-product
of the ongoing process of becoming Conscious.
196
00:11:47,094 --> 00:11:50,437
As the Universe or Source
becomes more conscious of Itself,
197
00:11:50,437 --> 00:11:52,521
there is more to become conscious of.
198
00:11:52,521 --> 00:11:58,433
And so, we, a microcosm of the larger Universe,
must become more conscious.
199
00:11:58,433 --> 00:12:03,876
And so, there are always further Enlightenments
to experience - so far ...
200
00:12:03,876 --> 00:12:11,111
The Three Steps of Awakening are
clearly represented in the Eternity symbol.
201
00:12:11,111 --> 00:12:13,274
That's why I'm going to use this symbol
202
00:12:13,274 --> 00:12:16,349
to explain this three-step process of Awakening to you today.
203
00:12:18,075 --> 00:12:20,483
Because of how I have named these particular steps,
204
00:12:20,483 --> 00:12:22,566
(for the sake of your understanding)
205
00:12:22,566 --> 00:12:25,066
we then fall into the trap of thinking
206
00:12:25,066 --> 00:12:29,193
that one step is more 'graduated' than the previous step.
207
00:12:29,193 --> 00:12:33,803
It's more important that we see this on a horizontal line.
208
00:12:33,803 --> 00:12:35,377
The way the Universe sees this
209
00:12:35,377 --> 00:12:40,833
is that one step is not more 'graduated'
or important than the last step.
210
00:12:40,833 --> 00:12:43,902
The same way that the Universe does not see Crawling
211
00:12:43,902 --> 00:12:48,610
as an infinitesimal step compared to Walking.
212
00:12:48,610 --> 00:12:50,898
They're crucial, they're important.
213
00:12:50,898 --> 00:12:55,395
So it's important to think about these steps more like a scale,
214
00:12:55,395 --> 00:12:58,395
where both sides are equally weighted.
215
00:12:58,395 --> 00:13:01,935
Looking at the Infinity Symbol
we can see that there is polarity.
216
00:13:01,935 --> 00:13:05,989
On one side - Physical, on the other side - Non-physical.
217
00:13:05,989 --> 00:13:08,873
On one side - Life, on the other - Death.
218
00:13:08,873 --> 00:13:11,928
On one side - Light, on the other - Dark.
219
00:13:11,928 --> 00:13:15,731
But in-between them is a point - the Still Point.
220
00:13:15,731 --> 00:13:20,195
This is the part of the Infinity Symbol
that actually represents Infinity.
221
00:13:20,195 --> 00:13:22,583
It is not the balance between opposites,
222
00:13:22,583 --> 00:13:25,996
it is the union and thus, transcendence of opposites.
223
00:13:25,996 --> 00:13:28,952
So, here we have Spirituality 3.0.
224
00:13:28,952 --> 00:13:31,491
On one side - Spirituality 101,
225
00:13:31,491 --> 00:13:33,984
on the other side - Spirituality 2.0
226
00:13:33,984 --> 00:13:36,766
and in the middle - Spirituality 3.0.
227
00:13:37,476 --> 00:13:41,543
It is tempting to rush the steps of Awakening
228
00:13:41,543 --> 00:13:42,938
cause let's be honest,
229
00:13:42,938 --> 00:13:46,020
we would all love to rush to the place of Transcendence
230
00:13:46,020 --> 00:13:48,018
where we were feeling amazing all the time,
231
00:13:48,018 --> 00:13:49,638
where we were solidly in the present moment,
232
00:13:49,638 --> 00:13:52,336
and we were absent of Resistance.
233
00:13:52,336 --> 00:13:56,397
But these steps of Awakening will not be rushed.
234
00:13:56,397 --> 00:13:58,699
The place where most of our 'rushing' happens
235
00:13:58,699 --> 00:14:01,444
is in the practice of Spirituality 2.0
236
00:14:01,444 --> 00:14:04,526
where we fall again into the trap
of trying to resist the emotions
237
00:14:04,526 --> 00:14:07,045
that we've been running from for most of our lives.
238
00:14:07,045 --> 00:14:08,613
This is why I have not released
239
00:14:10,326 --> 00:14:13,487
this particular teaching on Spirituality 3.0 for a long time.
240
00:14:13,487 --> 00:14:19,677
Instead, I waited, so that people could be
squarely in the practice of Spirituality 2.0
241
00:14:19,677 --> 00:14:25,768
and not do Spirituality 2.0
for the sake of getting to Spirituality 3.0.
242
00:14:25,768 --> 00:14:29,458
Cause if we're trying to do 2.0 to get to 3.0
243
00:14:29,458 --> 00:14:33,122
we have missed the point of Spirituality 2.0.
244
00:14:33,122 --> 00:14:36,654
We are no longer unconditionally present
with the way we feel.
245
00:14:36,654 --> 00:14:39,630
We are no longer allowing our negative emotions.
246
00:14:39,630 --> 00:14:42,005
We are instead resisting our negative emotions
247
00:14:42,005 --> 00:14:45,229
by trying to go into them in order to get out of them.
248
00:14:45,229 --> 00:14:52,385
Some people spend years upon years
practicing Spirituality 2.0.
249
00:14:52,385 --> 00:14:54,833
In this Awakening process, like Life,
250
00:14:54,833 --> 00:14:55,685
you learn how to crawl
251
00:14:55,685 --> 00:14:56,996
before you learn how to walk
252
00:14:56,996 --> 00:14:58,888
before you learn how to fly.
253
00:14:58,888 --> 00:15:02,043
Different techniques - one which leads to the next.
254
00:15:02,043 --> 00:15:05,760
You don't get upset at the process of crawling
once you learn how to walk.
255
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:10,600
You don't get upset with at process of walking
before you learn how to fly.
256
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:15,958
You realize that there are different techniques needed
to facilitate your Expansion.
257
00:15:17,008 --> 00:15:23,351
Spirituality 3.0 is the beautiful fusion
of Spirituality 101 and Spirituality 2.0.
258
00:15:23,351 --> 00:15:28,000
One could say that Spirituality 101
is largely about allowing the Light -
259
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,598
and that Spirituality 2.0
is about allowing the Shadow -
260
00:15:31,598 --> 00:15:37,209
and Spirituality 3.0 is the transcendence
or fusion of these seeming opposites.
261
00:15:37,209 --> 00:15:38,856
To use religious terms,
262
00:15:38,856 --> 00:15:41,104
Spirituality 101 is the Father,
263
00:15:41,104 --> 00:15:43,465
Spirituality 2.0 is the Holy Ghost
264
00:15:43,465 --> 00:15:46,951
and Spirituality 3.0 is the Son.
265
00:15:46,951 --> 00:15:48,115
In other words,
266
00:15:48,115 --> 00:15:50,529
if Light is God and Shadow is Goddess,
267
00:15:50,529 --> 00:15:54,041
the fusion of Light and Dark is the Child.
268
00:15:54,041 --> 00:15:59,543
In Spirituality 3.0,
the techniques that we learned in Spirituality 101
269
00:15:59,543 --> 00:16:06,309
'creating our Reality', 'deliberate Focus', 'positive Intentions'
are added back into our process
270
00:16:06,309 --> 00:16:11,428
but because of Spirituality 2.0, they have been purified.
271
00:16:11,428 --> 00:16:17,295
These desires and these practices
are not motivated by fear or by negative emotion
272
00:16:17,295 --> 00:16:21,336
and they're not the by-product of avoidance or resistance.
273
00:16:21,336 --> 00:16:26,362
Because of this,
there is no pain in the moving towards a desire,
274
00:16:26,362 --> 00:16:29,894
because you're not moving away from something else.
275
00:16:29,894 --> 00:16:33,935
Because of this, we are now free to choose.
276
00:16:33,935 --> 00:16:35,820
We are living a Free Life.
277
00:16:35,820 --> 00:16:39,186
This is the state of Living Godhood.
278
00:16:39,186 --> 00:16:42,625
This is the state of Self Actualization.
279
00:16:42,625 --> 00:16:45,840
This is the state, of complete and total,
280
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,207
Awareness and Awakening.
281
00:16:48,207 --> 00:16:49,440
Have a good week ...
