Choiceless Awareness - The Secret of Secrets- The Wisdom That Leads to Samadhi
-
0:09 - 0:11What we are going to describe
-
0:11 - 0:13has been called ‘The Secret Of Secrets’,
-
0:13 - 0:17the esoteric wisdom that leads to samadhi.
-
0:18 - 0:21Samadhi is the goal of all spirituality,
-
0:21 - 0:24its union with the source.
-
0:25 - 0:28the truth of who or what you are.
-
0:28 - 0:30The truth that transcends the limited mind,
-
0:30 - 0:34cannot be seen by means of the limited mind.
-
0:34 - 0:37The still point cannot be reached
-
0:37 - 0:40by means of movement. If you want to
-
0:40 - 0:43realize the still point beyond thinking,
-
0:43 - 0:46let go of all interest in thoughts and sensations,
-
0:46 - 0:48all preferences, all phenomena
-
0:48 - 0:50generated by the mind and senses,
-
0:50 - 0:53and rest in naked awareness.
-
1:21 - 1:23There are two fundamental dimensions XXXXXXXX
-
1:23 - 1:26existence In This Moment
-
1:26 - 1:30there's that which is changing and that
-
1:30 - 1:32which is unchanging
-
1:32 - 1:35thoughts and Sensations are a field of
-
1:35 - 1:37constantly changing phenomena
-
1:37 - 1:40[Music]
-
1:40 - 1:43what is unchanging is the awareness of
-
1:43 - 1:45that field of change
-
1:45 - 1:48[Music]
-
1:49 - 1:51we are usually so caught up in the field
-
1:51 - 1:55of change fixated on its objects that we
-
1:55 - 1:58ignored the dimension of awareness
-
1:58 - 2:01so we start our investigation by
-
2:01 - 2:04becoming aware of awareness
-
2:04 - 2:08in conscious of consciousness
-
2:08 - 2:15[Music]
-
2:18 - 2:22[Music]
-
2:28 - 2:43[Music]
-
2:44 - 2:46the challenge with resting in Awareness
-
2:46 - 2:49for long periods of time
-
2:49 - 2:51people have not cultivated the
-
2:51 - 2:54concentration and Equanimity to stay in
-
2:54 - 2:56awareness
-
2:56 - 2:59we are addicted to comfort and The
-
2:59 - 3:01Limited mind will want to escape from
-
3:01 - 3:03this exercise
-
3:03 - 3:05it will find it profoundly uncomfortable
-
3:05 - 3:08and will create every type of hindrance
-
3:08 - 3:11or distraction
-
3:11 - 3:12[Music]
-
3:12 - 3:15there are two primary knots that bind us
-
3:15 - 3:18to Ego identification
-
3:18 - 3:21body is attached to comfort
-
3:21 - 3:25and the mind wants to know
-
3:26 - 3:29if we continue to seek the comfort of
-
3:29 - 3:31the body and continue to seek knowing
-
3:31 - 3:33with the mind
-
3:33 - 3:35We Will Never Move Beyond The Limited
-
3:35 - 3:38mind and body
-
3:38 - 3:41we will remain like a herd animal
-
3:41 - 3:44a creature that craves pleasure and
-
3:44 - 3:46avoids pain endlessly responding to
-
3:46 - 3:49stimulus
-
3:49 - 3:51endlessly doing
-
3:51 - 3:54and unaware of the dimension of being
-
3:54 - 3:57[Music]
-
3:57 - 4:01to be aware to be fully attentive to
-
4:01 - 4:03what is happening without the mediation
-
4:03 - 4:07of egoic conditioning without Concepts
-
4:07 - 4:10without controlling manipulating or
-
4:10 - 4:12distortion
-
4:12 - 4:14without the filtering of The Limited
-
4:14 - 4:18mind is to be present without choosing
-
4:18 - 4:19[Music]
-
4:19 - 4:22present without choosing and therefore
-
4:22 - 4:25without a chooser
-
4:26 - 4:29every time the Mind moves without your
-
4:29 - 4:34willing even the tiniest movement it is
-
4:34 - 4:35due to filtering through the
-
4:35 - 4:37conditioning of the self-structure
-
4:37 - 4:42[Music]
-
4:42 - 4:45the path leads to cessation of the
-
4:45 - 4:47entire Whirlpool of mind
-
4:47 - 4:48foreign
-
4:48 - 4:52[Music]
-
4:52 - 4:56to realizing all levels of self is empty
-
4:56 - 5:01[Music]
-
5:01 - 5:04how do I drop all doing how do I drop
-
5:04 - 5:07mind activity
-
5:07 - 5:11listen closely this is the paradox
-
5:11 - 5:15The Limited egoic mind here's the
-
5:15 - 5:18question and wants to know how
-
5:18 - 5:23but that limited mind can't do it
-
5:24 - 5:27the mind will always fail in any attempt
-
5:27 - 5:29to realize Stillness
-
5:29 - 5:33because the mind is movement
-
5:33 - 5:38the Mind itself is movement
-
5:39 - 5:42it is an endless process of doing
-
5:42 - 5:45we have to make the shift from doing
-
5:45 - 5:47to being
-
5:47 - 5:50the you that you think you are is a
-
5:50 - 5:55process a constant movement a collection
-
5:55 - 5:57of patterns
-
6:02 - 6:06that you has to die
-
6:06 - 6:09the pathological pattern of you has to
-
6:09 - 6:12end for somebody to be realized
-
6:12 - 6:16let that sink in
-
6:16 - 6:18spiritual teachers have given the
-
6:18 - 6:21instruction to reach samadhi
-
6:21 - 6:24be still and know
-
6:24 - 6:27be still and know the true self
-
6:27 - 6:30primordial awareness Beyond name and
-
6:30 - 6:31form
-
6:31 - 6:34be still and know that you are God
-
6:34 - 6:38[Music]
-
6:38 - 6:41exactly do they mean
-
6:42 - 6:46what is it that becomes still
-
6:47 - 6:50obviously no one's physical body can
-
6:50 - 6:53become absolutely still it wasting
-
6:53 - 6:56within time and space because time space
-
6:56 - 6:59itself is movement
-
6:59 - 7:00foreign
-
7:00 - 7:03space is mined
-
7:03 - 7:08the universe is Big mind or logos
-
7:10 - 7:14first hermetic principle is that the all
-
7:14 - 7:18is mind the universe is mental
-
7:19 - 7:23universe is mind and mind is movement
-
7:23 - 7:26how can I be still and know
-
7:26 - 7:30how can you be still on a globe spinning
-
7:30 - 7:34thousand miles per hour around its axis
-
7:35 - 7:39spinning 67 000 miles per hour around
-
7:39 - 7:41the Sun
-
7:41 - 7:45moving 500 000 miles per hour around the
-
7:45 - 7:46Galaxy
-
7:46 - 7:50and millions more through the universe
-
7:52 - 7:55your heart is beating cells are moving
-
7:55 - 7:57inside
-
7:57 - 7:58food digesting
-
7:58 - 8:02the brain producing brain waves
-
8:02 - 8:06your blood is pumping energy is moving
-
8:06 - 8:09how can we be still
-
8:09 - 8:11when the spiritual Masters say be still
-
8:11 - 8:13and know
-
8:13 - 8:15they must be talking about something
-
8:15 - 8:16else
-
8:16 - 8:19something Beyond time and space
-
8:19 - 8:23something beyond the physical and mental
-
8:23 - 8:26what is meant by Stillness is something
-
8:26 - 8:28that we have no word for in our modern
-
8:28 - 8:30language system
-
8:30 - 8:34the Sanskrit language the language of
-
8:34 - 8:37the yogis has more precise terms which
-
8:37 - 8:40point to the non-dual
-
8:41 - 8:45the term shunyata is often translated as
-
8:45 - 8:46voidness
-
8:46 - 8:49Stillness or emptiness
-
8:49 - 8:52it is what is used in connection with
-
8:52 - 8:55anata or no self
-
8:55 - 8:58the realization of Buddha nature
-
8:58 - 9:02[Music]
-
9:02 - 9:04Stillness is maybe the closest English
-
9:04 - 9:05word
-
9:05 - 9:07but it is inadequate to describe
-
9:07 - 9:10something that is not of this dualistic
-
9:10 - 9:12world
-
9:12 - 9:14what is actually realized is the
-
9:14 - 9:17primordial Consciousness which is beyond
-
9:17 - 9:21Stillness and movement Beyond Time
-
9:21 - 9:24it is eternal the ground of your being
-
9:24 - 9:27the essential nature of reality that
-
9:27 - 9:30does not change actually it is beyond
-
9:30 - 9:34change and the changeless
-
9:34 - 9:37when our true nature is realized it
-
9:37 - 9:40becomes obvious that Stillness and
-
9:40 - 9:43movement are a duality created by the
-
9:43 - 9:47Mind silence and noise are a duality
-
9:47 - 9:50created by the mind
-
9:51 - 9:54everything is already inherent within
-
9:54 - 9:56that primordial Stillness
-
9:56 - 10:00the movement of the world is identical
-
10:00 - 10:02to Stillness
-
10:02 - 10:04be still and know
-
10:04 - 10:07be in motion and know
-
10:07 - 10:11it is all emptiness dancing this is not
-
10:11 - 10:13something philosophical but an entirely
-
10:13 - 10:15different way of interfacing with the
-
10:15 - 10:17world
-
10:17 - 10:19actually it's about dropping the
-
10:19 - 10:20interface
-
10:20 - 10:23dropping the reducing valve which is the
-
10:23 - 10:26self-structure and experiencing your
-
10:26 - 10:29true nature unmediated by the Limited
-
10:29 - 10:30mind
-
10:30 - 10:33the so-called outer world is transcended
-
10:33 - 10:36by realizing Stillness
-
10:36 - 10:39which when realized includes that which
-
10:39 - 10:41it transcends
-
10:41 - 10:42[Music]
-
10:42 - 10:45The Duality of Stillness and movement
-
10:45 - 10:47collapses
-
10:47 - 10:51realizing samadhi this Great Awakening
-
10:51 - 10:54is just the beginning of the path
-
10:54 - 10:58Anjali says that the entire Endeavor of
-
10:58 - 11:01yoga is aimed at the cessation of the
-
11:01 - 11:03whirlpool of the Mind
-
11:03 - 11:06chitta virti naroda
-
11:06 - 11:08you could say it is the cessation of
-
11:08 - 11:10karma
-
11:11 - 11:13the cessation of deep unconscious
-
11:13 - 11:18patterns on many different levels
-
11:18 - 11:21when we realize our true nature we
-
11:21 - 11:23temporarily cease our identification and
-
11:23 - 11:25reaction to the mind
-
11:25 - 11:27[Music]
-
11:27 - 11:30it's like pulling the plug on a fan
-
11:30 - 11:33when we pulled the plug on a fan the
-
11:33 - 11:36inertia of the Fan's blades keeps it
-
11:36 - 11:37going
-
11:37 - 11:39as long as we don't plug the fan back in
-
11:39 - 11:44it will eventually come to Stillness
-
11:44 - 11:46karma is simply the tendency for energy
-
11:46 - 11:50to follow established pathways
-
11:50 - 11:52when Consciousness slips back into
-
11:52 - 11:55pattern it's like plugging in the fan
-
11:55 - 11:59energy follows Consciousness energy goes
-
11:59 - 12:01back into the old patterns
-
12:01 - 12:04[Music]
-
12:04 - 12:07another way of describing it is through
-
12:07 - 12:09the law of inertia
-
12:09 - 12:13a mind in motion stays in motion unless
-
12:13 - 12:16acted upon by an outside force
-
12:16 - 12:17[Music]
-
12:17 - 12:20in The Matrix of the conditioned mind
-
12:20 - 12:22that we call the universe
-
12:22 - 12:24energy and thought cycle through fractal
-
12:24 - 12:28labyrinths that exist on a Continuum for
-
12:28 - 12:30micro to macro levels
-
12:30 - 12:33branching and exploring endlessly
-
12:33 - 12:35foreign
-
12:35 - 12:38practice is an intervention
-
12:38 - 12:41an outside force
-
12:41 - 12:44a Consciousness which diverts energy
-
12:44 - 12:47from flowing in the conditioned Pathways
-
12:47 - 12:50you have to be willing to change your
-
12:50 - 12:52life
-
12:52 - 12:54[Music]
-
12:54 - 12:56someone can do all the meditation in the
-
12:56 - 12:58world but if they go back to their same
-
12:58 - 13:00old patterns
-
13:00 - 13:02their same old routine
-
13:02 - 13:05then the wiring remains in place
-
13:05 - 13:07foreign
-
13:07 - 13:10conscious motivations must be excavated
-
13:10 - 13:13and faced
-
13:13 - 13:15if through great perseverance and
-
13:15 - 13:18determination we managed to not plug in
-
13:18 - 13:20the fan then there is an actual
-
13:20 - 13:23cessation of the brities
-
13:23 - 13:26profound silence that is born within the
-
13:26 - 13:28self-structure
-
13:28 - 13:32every time we identify with and react to
-
13:32 - 13:35some preference produced by the mind we
-
13:35 - 13:38plug the fan back in the longer we
-
13:38 - 13:40remain in awareness
-
13:40 - 13:43the more of the samskaras are purified
-
13:43 - 13:46the more the fan slows down
-
13:46 - 13:48and the human vessel becomes more
-
13:48 - 13:51permeable to awareness the more we
-
13:51 - 13:55become empty of self
