Spirituality Revealed

Just came across this beautiful meaningful message. I saved so I can rewatch again and again. I was meant to hear this today ,therapeutic healing well said message! Much appreciated. Definitely will be sharing this video and will rewatch as much as I need too. Thanks so much ☮️

Thank you ! This is good quality thinking …

Interesting I was just thinking we’re living in someone else’s reality.

Stillness is the Key. If you know, you know.

That is why we, autistics are happy on our own, we are on another level….

When we sit around and smoke hashish, most everything you said becomes abundantly apparent and it is up to us to bring down our divinity through gratitude and selflessness and altruism.

I love the wisdom of language. For example, one day years ago it suddenly came to me like this:

"The only difference between 'Alone' and 'All One' is one 'L' and that L stands for Love. When our hearts to soften and open to allow Love, we experience ourselves as no longer alone and alienated at all, but instead as part of this magical oneness where everything fits and makes sense even without needing to make sense.

Very nice . Thanks 😊

Thank you for creating this 🙏🏼

On freedom:

For most of us, we demand freedom politically, or religiously, or to think what we like, and there is the freedom of choice. Political freedom is all right, and one must have it, but for most of us we never demand and find out whether it is at all possible to be free inwardly. Our mind is a slave to its own projections, to its own demands, to its own desires and fulfilments; the mind is a slave to its cravings, to its appetites. And apparently we never ask whether it is at all possible to be free inwardly, but we are always wanting freedom outwardly, to go against the society, against a particular structure of society.

What is society? Who created the bally thing? Who is responsible for all this? The church, the temple, the mosque -you follow? – all the circus that goes on inside it, who is responsible for all this? Is the society different from you? Or you have created the society, each one of us, through our ambition, through our greed, through our envy, through our violence, through our corruption, through our fear, wanting our security in the community, in the nation. We have created this society, and then blame the society for what it demands.

So this is really a very serious question one must ask of oneself: whether freedom is from bondage or from the prison which we have created for ourselves, away from the prison and therefore it is still within the area of the prison. If one is in a prison, both physically and inwardly, subjectively, then physical control, being enclosed within a certain area, and to escape from that, one calls freedom. And psychologically one has built a prison for oneself, by one's own desires, by one's own anxieties, loneliness and so on. And freedom from that is still within the area of that psychological prison, therefore it is not freedom at all.

So is there a freedom that is not a reaction – a freedom per se, for itself, not away from something, or from something? So one must understand for oneself why we are always trying to escape, or to rationalise, or to go beyond that which is. If one understand that which is, understand not merely intellectually, verbally but see the depth of it, see the truth of it, the substance of it, the vitality of it, then perceiving that, and remaining with that, and explore into that movement, learning, not memorising – from that, if one goes very deeply, then there is freedom per se.

▪So let's go into this question: what is the root of fear? Is it thought? Thought being the accumulated memories born of knowledge, experience. And thought born of knowledge, and knowledge being limited, so thought is limited. Is fear, subjectively first, inwardly first, is that fear born of thought? Thinking about tomorrow, thinking about what might happen – one's wife may run away. Thinking in terms of not the actual present but in terms of future or the past. Is that the cause of fear – thought? If it is the cause of fear -which is the speaker says is, and please don't accept it – then what will you do with thought? And then one asks:

Is there another cause of fear? Time. Time is a movement, a series of movements. And time, which is tomorrow – I might lose my job, I might become blind, all the rest of it – tomorrow. So time is a factor of fear. So time and thought are the roots of fear.

Thought has created the most marvellous world technologically – right? – the incredible things thought has done, in the world of medicine, surgery, in homeopathy – all right? – in producing instruments of war, and so on – the computer. And thought also has created a division between you and me, my wife and me – you follow? – this whole process of division is going on throughout life. Is thought the cause of it? Please look at it carefully, let's find out. If thought is the cause of this divisive process then we will have to ask a question which is much more serious: whether thought can ever function in one area completely, in the physical world, in the daily world, but completely end in the psychological world?

So what is our responsibility – we'll come very near home – what is our responsibility when you see this thing going on? If I belong to a certain tribe, called nationalism, a certain religious sect, which brings about division and therefore conflict, I either accept that conflict and follow the usual traditional path or I no longer belong to any country, actually not belong to any country, to any tribe, to any group, to any sect or to any religion, because they are the factors of division and therefore conflict.

Therefore it is very important, imperative, that one understand oneself deeply, understand all the responses, the conditioning, the various temperaments, characteristics, tendencies – just to watch without the observer. To observe without the observer. And that is the act of learning. And so that is the action.

Apparently this is a question that is asked by every parent in the world: children, and how can we help them to be intelligent, and free, and responsible human beings in today's world? Are the parents intelligent and free? Are the teachers intelligent, and free, and responsible? Is the society, the educational system helping them to be free, and responsible and intelligent? So, education means a holistic approach to life, cultivating the brain technologically and also cultivating the brain to be free of its own petty little self. That requires teachers who understand this, who are committed, who are responsible. And the parents, they must love their children.

Time is contained – the past, the future is now. So death is now. That means, If I am attached to my wife, to my something or other, to my furniture – aren't you attached to something? – and death comes and says: 'That is the end of it' – cuts it. So can you be free of the attachment? Therefore you are living then, living and dying at the same time. If you are attached to your memories, to your experience, to your failure, to your ambition, all that is going to come to an end. So can you live with death, which is to end your ambition now? And to live without ambition means tremendous energy – not to do more mischief. So death and life always march together. Then you will see…then there is that sense of absolute freedom, from the little travail of myself. And that is necessary to understand that which is timeless, if there is such a thing as eternity, but to see all this as a movement of life, dying and living. Therefore in that sense things become…you never kill another, never deliberately hurt another.

To understand what love is – understand, you know, have the depth of it, the greatness of it, the flame of it, the beauty of it – how can there be jealousy, how can there be ambition, aggression, violence? And can there be…can one be free completely of all these things? Please do ask this question. Where there is love then there is…do what you will, it will be right action, it will never bring conflict in one's life. So it's important to see that jealousy, antagonism, conflict, and all the pain of relationship has no place in love, where there is love. And can one be free of all that, not tomorrow, now? Now, to find out what is the religious mind, what is the truth of religion, one must be free from all authority, of all belief, faith, not belong to a thing! There must be a sense of total…being free. So meditation is something…to be totally free, from all bond age, from all measurement, from all conflict, so the brain becomes quiet, utterly still. And that silence, stillness has its own beauty, it's own truth, it's absolute sense of…immeasurable thing. So meditation is not a reward, is not something that you get illuminated by practicing, which is all so childish. So truth is something which is not to be measured and it has no path to it. And that is the beauty, that is love.
