E153: Evolution—The Divine Dance of Consciousness and Form
Michael Singer: Jai guru dev, jai masters.
The entire purpose of life, your life, all of life is the merger back into the union, to the universe to do a real short course in evolution. Real short, the divine force, ti conscious energy is all one force. Consciousness and energy are the same force, just like electromagnetism. They thought there was electricity, they thought there was magnetism.
They found that the same force electromagnetism. So chicha conscious energy is the original force, is that which was in the beginning. That which will be in the end is aware of its being and is the creator of all things. When, for whatever reason, mayor Baba set on a whim, the Divine Force, infinite, eternal, decided to express itself, played the game, and do they call it the god’s liah, God’s dance, God’s sport.
All it had to do was vibrate that initial vibration. Spread across the universe, and that is the beginning Bible says, in the beginning was the word and the word was with God. That’s so deep to the yogi that that initial. Vibration, which now quantum physics has found out that initial quantum field vibration, the agitation of the quantum field, created all the subatomic particles, corks, leptons, boons.
They’re just vibrations. They’re not things, there are no particles. They’re just vibrations. That’s how close. You are to understanding or having some understanding of the divine force. Physics doesn’t know what caused the quantum field, the yogi does ’cause they went there. They’re con, since it’s made of consciousness and conscious energy, you can be that.
You can go there, you can merge with that and we’re not going in there right now. It vibrates. That creates form. That’s where reform came from. There really is no mass or matter. There’s just the vibrations which interact with each other due to their properties, and they attract, they pull together. Two up corks and a down cork made a proton.
But those corks are not things. They’re just vibrations in the field of energy and they have properties, and that’s what happens. And science right now can build the entire universe as you know it. We’re gonna come back to this shortly. Everything in this room, everything you’ve ever seen, everything that is black holes, galaxies, everything.
Is a manifestation of those vibrations turning into the subatomic particles, putting themselves together into atoms, molecules, compounds. And then you’re looking at this, well, why does it look like this? Because the eyes that got put together for you. When consciousness looks out, sees it like this, the eyes were made of corks left tons and both ends and atoms, and what you’re looking at is made of it, but wow, look what it looks like.
If that doesn’t blow your mind, you got problems because that’s what is, we said evolution. I’m not going to get into it. That is the primal force that created the initial vibrations, Shakti. Force the power of creation is Shakti force. Well, what about consciousness? When the Divine created this, Lila, this game Consciousness dealt with form me, had a song called Spirit and Nature Dancing Together.
So consciousness, which is infinite, all knowing, and the creator of all things came down and danced with form. In what form? Rocks, mountains, just things that don’t seem to be conscious. It went on and made a big deal of the fact that even a rock has consciousness. It’s just so low. It’s vibrating so low that it can’t express itself.
It can’t do anything. And so evolution close to Darwin. Spiritual evolution transcends what Darwin talked about. It includes Darwin. So anyone who thinks that Darwinian evolution is against spirituality, that’s ridiculous. What it’s saying is when the original creation throughout the, all the galaxies and the whole thing created form consciousness was part of it.
But the trouble is that form was so gross. It was so dense that consciousness could not express itself. And so what it did. Its game is to constantly reach out, to try and bring form, matter and consciousness to a point where it could be a plant and amoeba what a plant can reach out. It can’t walk around, but it can reach out toward the sun.
That’s what it does. There you have the sun being one form of creation and you have consciousness expressing itself as the form pulled together as a plant. And so then it becomes a plant, and then it reaches out over millions of years and becomes a fish, becomes something in the waters, and then that crawls out.
That is all consciousness reaching out. To express itself through form, and so form evolves. Consciousness evolves. It doesn’t really evolve. It’s already perfect. But it created this dance and it’s playing by its own rules. And so basically it comes up, then it becomes a fish. Then it becomes an animal, okay?
And all the different living creatures are all consciousness reaching out to express itself more. There was some time, some years ago, many years ago, where they found out that the DNA structure. Inside of DNA, they thought there was millions of junk. DNA, they called it junk, DNA. It wasn’t making the DNA chains, the DNA structures that make everything that make all of life.
Alright, your DNA makes a child. It knows how to make a child. Well, what is the junk DNA? They have found out there’s no such thing as junk DNA, that those millions of molecules that don’t seem to be participating are what cause things to change. That’s why they believe that psychological things can cause physiological sickness ’cause it, it just affects the DNA, it affects the structure.
But I wanna get into that. So now I hope you can see evolution taking place, which is the combination of consciousness reaching out. It’s constantly reaching out so that it can move better, so it can experience better. So it has a better nervous system. It has a better muscular system. It has a better skeletal system.
It just keeps reaching out through all of creation, all living things evolve. There’s a story of Darwin when we went to the Gloss Islands. The different islands had these birds and the islands were some distance from each other and enough to where the birds couldn’t fly that distance. And on some islands, that exact bird had a very short beak.
And on other islands, the exact bird had this big long beak. And he looked at it and looked at it. Eventually he realized that is evolution, that is survival of fittest. That is adaptability. On one island, the seeds that the birds were eating were readily available on the ground, and the other island was very rocky and stony, and there were crevices in the rocks and the seeds fell down there, and they had to evolve for the beak to grow.
That’s why it grew, right? It grew in order to be able to. Dip down into the crevice and pick up the seas. That’s what Darwin means, by survival of the fittest. But that sounds like, oh, let’s go fight with each other. It has nothing to do with that. It has to do with the fact that the consciousness inside is trying to evolve.
It’s trying to reach out to become holder. So in order to do that with that bird, it grew a bigger beak. The DNA actually changed out of necessity over time, long time. And so animals came up, came up, came up, and sorry to tell you, you really did ev your body. You didn’t, but your body evolved from the apes, but.
Of course it did. And it comes up and now the ape is able to run, is able to walk, it’s able to swing on its trees, able to eat different kinds of foods. It’s much more adaptable. So what happened eventually it evolved and evolved and now your, your physical form, it doesn’t need to evolve more. It doesn’t need wings.
You learned how to fly with airplanes. It can travel at tremendous speeds. Why? Because not only did the physical body evolve, but once that evolved enough to where consciousness can now express itself, can pick up, think everything, right? But now what happens evolves is emotional and mental. That evolution happens at the higher planes, and you are doing the same thing right now.
You’re learning to reach out. And try to become adaptable to the circumstances that are around you. You can handle different relationships, you can handle different things. Your human body can live in the Arctic and live in the rainforest. It can eat meat and it can eat fruit. And some claim they’re breath airs.
Okay. Anything’s possible. It’s just basically the divine force is reaching out through all the form, and form is growing, evolving at the same time, so consciousness becomes closer to God. The fact that you have a mind that can think, that can create ai, I don’t know whether you like it or not, gimme a break.
The monkeys didn’t do that and we didn’t find it somewhere. You evolved enough to where the mind was so brilliant, that’s God expressing it himself, herself, that you’re able to do tremendous things. There’s like, well, there’s no limit. You can fly to the moon, you can go to Mars. You can send spaceships outside the solar system.
Who did that? Not your physical body. You needed the physical body. If you didn’t have the physical body, you couldn’t have done that. But the physical body evolved enough and consciousness is growing with it, and consciousness causing the growth consciousness, reaching out, causing the mutations and the physical body as a result, is a better house for God to live in, to express himself.
But it’s all God. If you understand that in five minutes, you go quite a lecture, do you understand that that is what’s going on? Okay. Now you have evolved to the point of human birth. It is said that only a human being can reach enlightenment. No other form of a living creature can reach enlightenment.
Why? Look how much evolution you went through. It’s nice to say, oh, the monkeys are nice too. Yes, they’re wonderful, but you have evolved your form and your mind and your emotions have evolved way beyond that. And so now, because they’re so evolved, they can do things, they can learn, they can grow, they can express what it’s all about is expression.
Expression. You’re expressing yourself. You’re experiencing and expressing plans, experience. They have auras, we’ve, we’ve all read that stuff, okay? But they can’t experience like you do. And basically remember that the Divine Force created in order to express itself. But in order to experience the expression it needs the ability to experience.
So expression and experience, that’s what’s going on. You do it every day of your life. You’re expressing yourself and you’re experiencing the world around you. Okay, so now muzzle tough. You’ve evolved to human form if evolved to the highest right? Now, are we all at different levels? Of course, we’re at different levels.
Why? Because part of your evolution, major part of your evolution is that you’re expressing yourself in the areas you express yourself. You become better at those areas, just like the beat got longer, right? If you exercise a lot, your body gets stronger. If you want to be a great runner and you try and like we are breaking world records all the time, are we not?
Right. Isn’t that amazing? Go look at the Olympics. Alright. It just that which was the greatest thing in the 1980s is nothing now for these guys. Alright? They have evolved. They evolved by working with themselves and so on. So physiologically you evolve and then psychologically I’m leaving off emotionally as much and evolve so much.
Right? But you also evolve emotionally. Do you evolve emotionally? Do you pick up other people’s vibrations? Yes. Can you feel love? Can you feel insecurity? Right? You have quite a range of emotions. Your heart has evolved into something that can feel tremendous up and tremendous down right or wrong. And your mind, are you kidding me?
It’s evolved from now that some of you think you’re dumb. You’re not dumb. You’re comparing yourself against Einstein. Compare yourself against an armadillo or a possum. You are gonna find out you’re brilliant. Well you are, even though I’m against a monkey. Oh look, they can drive you all drive all the time.
Basically. You are a very evolved creature. And with that was about, was God’s dance to express himself. As you express it, you’re going higher and higher and higher and getting closer to that state of, back to God, back to the Godhead. But we’re pretty far away, but we’re all at different levels. Alright, so given that background,
we’re gonna have a talk. Why I look at my mind. My thoughts, my emotions, my body and the world. The tiny piece of the world that’s in front of me. I’m gonna go slowly this time. Is that not true? I know. I like to think you’re highly evolved beings. You have consciousness that is merged with the universe that, which made everything I just talked to you about.
Is what is looking through your eyes, the whole thing that made everything from the beginning, the initial, oh vibration, alright, the cosmic boom, whatever that consciousness is, your consciousness. It’s already evolved enough. You are evolved enough to come to that realization. Well, why don’t I feel that you’re looking at your thoughts, your emotions, your body, and what is coming in through your senses.
Now, I’m gonna stop ’cause at beginning of the year, do you get that? Do you see that truth? I don’t care how much spiritual you wanna be or what you think you’ve learned before. Is it not true? You are looking at your thoughts all day, all the time, but I made sure there were night. I practiced positive thinking.
They’re your thoughts, and that’s all you’re looking at. That’s what you’re looking at and it’s how big are you? I know we like to be big and important, right? There are 8.3 billion of you running around the world now. 8.3 billion. You know what? You are One of 8.3 billion. That’s how much you count. That’s how much you’ll ever count.
That is what is going on, and you’re watching your thoughts. And you know what? You think that your thoughts are more important than everybody else’s. If somebody does something, it doesn’t match your thoughts. You know what you say, they’re wrong. Are you hearing me? I know you don’t like it, but at once in your life, you have to catch on to realize.
You have a little fish bowl over your head and it’s very little and there’s little fishy thoughts floating around in there, and they’re very fishy, little fishy thoughts swimming around in there, and that’s what you listen to every single moment of your life. Yes, they’ve changed. You have evolved. Things change.
You’ve had experiences and all those experiences leave impressions on your mind and on your heart, and they generate your thoughts and your emotions. It’s that simple. And a single emotion or a single thought that you have that is not based upon experiences that you had before and not even all experiences.
I teach you all the time. The ones that got stuck. How do they get stuck in there? They don’t get stuck. You hold onto them. Who does you, the self, the consciousness, the indwelling being something comes in from outside. Does everything come in from outside? Everything all over the world simultaneously come into you from outside?
No, just the little tiny bit that your sensors pick up. That’s a pretty small area, isn’t it? Is it not? That’s a tiny little area and it picks those up and you then decide what you wanna hold onto, what you don’t. I like that. I didn’t like that. Who are you? Who are you to like, or not? Like? What evolved from the beginning all the way up and express itself as everything, and you’re only seeing this tiny little bit.
How much of everything do you see? And right then I wanted you to think about everything on the planet Earth. What about all the other galaxies and everything? Everything is everything. It’s all made the same way, and all you care about is the part that you’ve seen. It programs you. It programs your thoughts.
It programs your emotions. Psychology says, man is the sum of his learned experiences. It’s not true. You are the consciousness that is addicted to watching to some of your learned experiences. If something bothered you before, it’s still in there and something you really, really liked before you want it to happen again, is still in there.
Why? There’s always a new moment of unfolding in front of you, not for you. The truth of the matter is you’re not even picking up a fraction of what’s in front of you because it has to pass through what you held inside of you from before. Good, bad, right, wrong, like, dislike, better, worse, desirable, undesirable.
They’re not out there. They’re not part of what you’re looking at, are they? They’re part of what you stored inside. As the fishbowl got programmed with what’s coming in from outside, it’s not only did nothing, nothing came in from me. I was like, how many experiences have you had in your life compared to how many there were to have had?
At the same moment you’re having an experience, how many did you miss? You missed to your left, you missed to your right. You missed the, I missed below. And that’s not to mention the whole rest of the universe. You don’t experience anything. You experienced a tiny little dot that’s happening in front of you and then another one happens, but you don’t get to experience that ’cause you held onto the one that happened.
And what he end up doing instead of using your brilliance, your greatness, your divinity, to be part of the whole. Remember, the whole purpose was to God, to experience himself and he’s making himself everything. And you have this ability now with airplanes, that was computers. Look how much you’ve expanded your ability with the web, right?
I know there’s problems. It doesn’t matter. What did that do? It tied you all together. But you still only think about your relationship to what you’re looking at. Oh, this is wrong. Oh, I like that. Now you have access to so much more. The plan didn’t have that, but you do. Your mind is part of the evolution of creation back to God.
Don’t you dare think there’s something wrong with your mind. There’s something wrong with how you use it. There ain’t nothing wrong with your mind. Robert Krishna. Keep jumping back and forth. There are enlightened beings. There are beings who reach the final state of merger. You know, he said the purified mind is no different than the self.
Whoa. Well talk about that. The purified mind. Is no different than the self, so we’re just dealing with this mind. It’s a fishbowl of your past Experience. Limited to the purified mind is no different than the self. What does that mean? It means if you didn’t build this garbage inside your mind, that limits it to you when your experiences.
It is as expansive as the self. That’s who you are. Christ said, my father and I are one that included the vibrations of the mental plane, the emotional plane, everything. It’s all one, but you won’t let it be ’cause you’re addicted to staring at what’s going on in your mind. I think you understand that you have a voice going on inside your mind.
They call it the voice of the mind. The voice inside your head. I don’t care. That is drawing your consciousness down to it all the time. Why does that voice talk about what it talks about? Because you stored these impressions in your mind and in your heart from past experiences you had. I’m gonna say something you won’t like of what meaning were those past experiences at the time you were having them.
They were the total meaning be here now. Right, the eternal. Now only one thing exists now, right? The other already went bye-bye, and the other hasn’t happened yet. So the reality of reality. Is what you’re experiencing, but the minute you hold onto what you experienced before, now you build some other place for your consciousness to go.
It can be there. Then I’m gonna rewrite the book. It has the ability to be someplace else than be here now, but that’s in your mind. The only place that exists other than the reality of now is in your mind and what you did. You built this entire collection of past experiences in your mind, and now when you bring into the current moment, you can’t experience the current moment.
You experience it through the filter of your past experiences. You judge, I know you can’t fix it right away. We’ll talk about that, but are you willing to at least listen? So now when you walk into the moment that’s real, you bring the unreal. You bring that which is not real. That which happened to you before is not real.
It’s a memory. I remember what’s called it. It’s a ghost of your past, is it not? And it’s soon expressing itself, mixing with the present. So you’re doing, you can’t trust what you see, right? Because it’s all mushed together. And I guarantee you that what’s coming up from inside that you stored in there is way more powerful than what you’re seeing outside.
Hmm. All you have to do is look at somebody that you met 10 years ago and didn’t like, and they all of a sudden show up in your life. You do not see that person. You see there’s some scars, the patterns that got stored from before. You feel the animosity, you feel the or like or dislike. Yes or no. Who’s willing to honestly look at this.
You’re caught in yourself. Who is God? Your divine being. You’re capable of experiencing universal merger oneness, but that consciousness is addicted to staring at your thoughts, your emotions, your body and the world around you. When I say world around you, that’s such a misnomer, right? It’s just that was your sense picks up.
But I read a lot. How much did you never read that was ever written, and how many other things could you be doing instead of reading at the same moment you’re reading? How much are you missing? I told you once what you have in there that you’re so proud of or afraid of, ashamed of is statistically insignificant in relationship to what is, but you never look at what is why, ’cause you’re addicted to looking at you.
While you’re addicted to looking at you, you ain’t going nowhere. So the purified mind is no different than itself. Doesn’t mean you don’t swear. It means the mind doesn’t have these, some scars in it that tie it down to your past experience. In your past, likes and dislike. There’s all the garbage you built.
The ego’s gone. Okay. You do have an ego, don’t you? You care what people think about you. You care what this happens, and then it happens. You care what’s gonna happen here tomorrow. I, I, I, I, me my, if I tell you, you know what’s gonna happen tomorrow, you’ll find out you don’t like that. No way. I’m leaving it to Chance.
Chance built this whole thing. You didn’t, the whole universe happened the way I just told you. You weren’t even here. But I need to control tomorrow and I need to control yesterday. I don’t like what happened and I will never like it. And of course it causes suffering. Anybody with their head straight would be suffered.
What happened to me when I was young? What in the world are you doing? You’re basically creating this artificial thing inside your mind and saying, this is me. I’m the one that had these experiences. You don’t say that. You said, I am me. You define yourself, your self-concept by what you built inside that fishbowl.
So now we’ve laid the groundwork for where you came from, and that took millions and millions and millions and billions of years. Okay. When you dropped outta that womb, wow. Were you giving gifts? Phenomenal eyesight, hearing, taste, touch, smell, mind, emotions, a heart. You were given everything. The problem is, and I’ve told you this before, what happens is as you move through your journey, you have experiences.
They come in, okay, you didn’t experience much, but you did experience some stuff. Again, remember what you’re experiencing had to fit within the realm of your senses. How much is outside that realm? It’s enormous. It’s unbelievable. But you don’t like to think about that makes you feel small. The funny part is this is small.
You’re not, the consciousness is not small. It’s the entire universe. But if you limit it to staring at the tiny little nothing that you’ve experienced. It feels small. It doesn’t feel right. So basically what happens is once it happens, we end up with these impressions inside. Some are comfortable, some are not.
We hold onto both. If it’s extremely comfortable, we don’t want it to go away. If it’s extremely not comfortable, we don’t want it to happen again. But in order to know, we don’t want it to happen again. We have to keep it. I have to hold onto it. ’cause I didn’t like it. Why do you hold onto that? Which you didn’t like.
You do, don’t you? That’s what suppression is. All Freudian stuff. You couldn’t let it go. You couldn’t handle it. So you held onto it mostly out of fear that it will happen again. Mostly out of trying to manipulate the world. So it he’s the way you want it to be. And so now you go outside and your entire life, I hate to tell you this, your entire life.
Becomes, how do I manipulate the moment in front of me and the moments that will be in front of me so they match what I decided fits inside of me based on what I kept from my past? That’s how you decided what you like and dislike your past experiences. How do I manipulate people, places, things, every single thing out there so that when it comes in, it matches what I stored before.
If it matches, what do you say? Whoopee. If it doesn’t match, say, oh. So it’s not about the world, it’s about you got lost in the personal self. That’s the fall from the garden, by the way. I don’t wanna get into it. It was just one. One divine being. Experience. What he created until you fell. Until you get caught.
Your likes and dislikes and your personal self. Alright? Okay. Now we have a groundwork. What I ask of you, are you willing to look right now at what’s in front of you? Don’t move, don’t do anything. Can you see it and hear it? Okay. How hard was that? How much effort, how much meditation did you need to do so that when you open your eyes, there’s something there?
Zero. How much mantra, how much devotion, how much belief structures? What do you need so that you can be here now. Right here. Right there. There it is. Right now, right? Just a minute. No. No. Ever thinking. Just the moment you open your eyes, it’s there. Is it not? Okay? That is what it’s like inside. Of an enlightened being the same as they can see the outside.
Why? Because it’s there. They don’t have to do anything. They just see what’s there. They see the inside exactly the same. There’s no hidden thoughts. There’s no messed up emotions. There’s just awareness seeing, just seeing outside, inside, that’s be here now. Right. That doorway brings you up. You don’t have to do a single thing.
As you start to reach those states, you will feel this energy pulling you up, constantly pulling you up, whereas now it’s pulling you down, you being distracted by some scars, distracted by your legs and dislikes what you want and what you don’t want. When somebody said yesterday, you’re being pulled down.
It’s always down. When you’re done with that, the Shakti pulls you up. Pulls you up. The whole rest of that path is not about doing anything. It’s not letting go. They say it’s neither about doing or not doing. Of course. Not what it’s not doing. Oh no, I shouldn’t do that. It’s not right. What is doing? I wanna do that.
It’s neither. It’s just being, you’re just there. And when you’re just there, there’s nothing else forcing you in or out or down or up. You can experience reality inside and out. And when you’re that clean, clean meaning you have not stored this garbage inside of you, that is distracting your consciousness constantly, every moment down to your thoughts, your emotions, your body, and what’s in front of you.
Okay, because that’s, that’s an addiction. You’re really caught in that, aren’t you? You don’t think you’re caught in that, ’cause you’ve never been out. Get out for one moment. You have one really deep meditation, not even for a minute or two minutes. You’ll never be the same for the rest of your life because you saw.
That there’s out, that the very consciousness that is staring at what should I do? How can I help people? What can I do? Why don’t I do that? I shouldn’t have done The very consciousness does not have to be looking at that. That’s how people do some drugs and psychedelic stuff like that. Fine. I don’t judge anything.
It ain’t gonna last. I can tell you right now. Why you can get out and have experiences, but over a period of time, these, some scars are still there. They’re gonna pull you back in. And then unfortunately, it becomes an addiction. It becomes a crutch. The only way I can get high, come on talking too maturely, uh, given a positive spin.
The only way I can get high is to use a drug, is to somehow stop myself from staring at myself. The true spiritual path is not to stop yourself from staring at yourself to reach the point that there’s no reason to stare at yourself. You understand that it’s just like. Wow. Why did I do that? Why was it so weird about the fact that in fifth grade I answered a math problem and everyone laughed at me ’cause it was wrong?
And it still left this impression on me. I don’t like math. I don’t like fifth grade. I don’t like the teacher. I don’t even like people scared. They’re gonna laugh at me. You carry that inside of you and so you catch on and you sit there and say. That’s so silly. Why did I do that? You did it ’cause you weren’t evolved enough yet.
The beak wasn’t long enough. Alright. You had not evolved enough yet. Well, how did you learn to evolve? I wouldn’t say I learned. I would say life’s experiences taught me. Life is my teacher. I went through a different thing and I felt really bad in fifth grade when I got rejected with the math thing. Now I’m married and we’re getting divorced, and that same sense of rejection, that same sense of having done something wrong, that same embarrassment is coming up in me, except magnified many full.
Well, what if you are given some teachings, given some guidance, and you learn to relax through that? You learn to say, okay, I’m here to evolve. And part of evolution is to handle, be adaptable, survive without protecting and fighting and pushing away. And you learn to walk through that situation. You now evolved.
Life evolved you. That’s it’s here for. It is not here for you to decide how you want things to be in front of you based on the garbage you stored inside of you from the past. And life is supposed to be that way. I’m sorry. Have fun. ’cause you won’t. That is not what life is here for. Life is not here to give you what you want.
Life is here to make you understand, why do I want this? Why am I not okay with reality? Why am I okay with the flow of creation that made everything, including me and gave me a mind that’s capable of being so screwed up? Right? Or heart that can be so sensitive. Life is giving you situations. Earth is a place of so sent to evolve.
How are you doing if you’re trying to make every single thing be the way your some scars want them to be? You are not evolving. You say, well, where can I live where nothing bothers me. Who can I be with that? Nobody criticizes me. How can I meet somebody that will never get divorced to sign papers? That guarantee, right, what are you doing?
You’re saying, I don’t wanna grow. I wanna change. I like my beak.
So life is not here to give you what you want. And they will not give you what you want. Sometimes it’ll match. Sometimes things will line up and you think those are the special times. You are welcome to enjoy those times. You’re welcome to be fed and be encouraged, but not, I’m supposed to feel these times and if I don’t, I did something wrong or somebody did something wrong because that’s what I wanna feel.
And if it’s not that way, I’m outta here. And if it is that way, I’m staying. That goes for everything. And you wake up and you realize that at some point. You learn to handle things. Why? Because they happened. You look at reality, you’re not looking at what you want, you’re looking outside. Let’s talk about that for a minute.
A wise being a very wise being, when such a being looks outside, they see the moment that’s in front of them that God created, that quantum field did not express itself. 13.8 billion years ago, it is expressing itself every nanosecond. Otherwise it wouldn’t be here. Every atom is being created as it’s being manifested, and you are looking out and you’re seeing a very, very sacred special thing the moment that your consciousness is experiencing.
Why is your moment more important than anybody else’s? Why is your moment more important than every moment that’s going on at the same time? ’cause it just happens to be the moment your conscious is looking at whoopee. Like I said, there’s 8.3 billion other consciousness looking at different moments, and yours will look at something different in a nanosecond.
And so you learn to let go of yourself. You learn to not think that this moment. I would say this moment is special, but not because of you. Every moment is special. Every moment is a moment in creation that divine force is creating at the exact moment that’s happening every moment, all over the universe, the stars, the moons, the black holes, every country, every single thing.
It doesn’t exist if that quantum feels not vibrating. Even the things you think are terrible. They’re the quantum field vibrating, manifesting as atoms manifesting, manifesting, going through the evolutionary process of God, reaching out consciousness, reaching out into form to express itself and to experience itself.
Oh, people are so ugly, people are so beautiful. It’s all part of the dance. It’s all part of consciousness evolving and experiencing. Hitler killed himself. He caused a lot of trouble beforehand, but in the end, look where he ended up. It all is a teaching machine. It all is going through. Its changes, and you are experiencing the moments in front of you.
Is that good or bad? It’s unbelievable that you have the right to experience one of these moments. There’s hundreds and billions and zillions of them. And you get to experience one. How special are you? You are the only one experiencing that moment. As you go through your life, you’re missing everything except this tiny little line.
I’m even a pixel thick. I can’t make a line thin enough. Alright, and that’s your line through all the moments that you’re missing. Does that mean you’re nothing? No. It means you have an important job. You are the consciousness of God experiencing his creation. That moment of creation. That’s your job.
That’s your dharma. That’s why you’re here. You’re not here to get what you want to try to make the moment match what you held onto ’cause you couldn’t handle it before or ’cause you liked it in fifth grade. I always dreamed of that. What are you doing? You’re making the moment be about you. The moment’s not about you.
I don’t care what they teach you. The moment is the result of the whole universal expression from the beginning of time, evolving, expressing, and ends up with your consciousness, God consciousness, looking down through those eyes to experience and express that’s what’s happening, but you like to experience and express what you want, not that this is whole within itself.
It’s complete. The experience is complete. It is the result. What you are looking at is the result of all that ever was. It’s all cause and effect evolving through time and space. And the moment in front of you is the holiest thing in the whole, oh my God. It’s unbelievable. But you don’t wanna experience the moment in front of you.
You wanna experience the moment you decide it should be happening inside of you based on your past moments. And that’s why it’s a mess, and that’s why they’re suffering when a Buddha teach. All of life is suffering. The cause of suffering is preference. That’s what desire is. Preference. I have made up a way that I want the moment in front of me to show up.
If it does, I’m not suffering. If it doesn’t, I’m suffering. That’s the cause of all suffering. Do you understand that he taught The Buddhist teachers are so deep, it’s ridiculous. How do you end suffering? Buddha? End preference. How do you end preference the eightfold path truth, the true natural way? The natural evolutionary way is be open to experiencing the experiences that are unfolding in front of you that hit the stuff you stored from before.
Be open to experiencing the moments that are real, that are coming in. Hitting the garbage, the likes and dislikes, preferences, hopes, dreams, concept, views that you built based on your past experiences is going to hit those. Is that okay with you? Now we’re talking real evolution. What if the Gala, PLOS Bird visited the other island?
I got embarrassed ’cause the beak was growing so fast. No, my beaks not supposed to be like that. Yes it is. You’re from this island, it’s supposed to be. No, it was nice and curvy. I need, I need a beak job.
And so basically you get to the point where you realize. This mess inside of me, this personal self that I built in here, this ego, this self-concept of myself, that’s not who I am. I am divine consciousness experiencing the moment of creation that is happening in this moment in time and space. It’s not just in space time.
Two Einstein time, space, continuum, and this exact moment, this is what’s in front of me. You guys are what are in front of me right now. If though two of ’em get up. And I feel, oh my God, people are walking out. Ah, you didn’t experience the moment you experienced how the moment affected your garbage inside.
Otherwise, the moment unfolds and there you are with it. And if everybody gets them and walks out, you feel the same as if they did. There’s a story of when Robert Krishna’s disciples, when Robert Christians left the body, Viva Kondo was a great disciple of his. He kind of took charge and the different disciples, all very high beings.
The fact I hung around with that master, you believe they’re great beings. He gave them Nando, gave ’em jobs to do, right? You teach this knight and then people will come and you’ll teach them this and teach their master’s teaching and so on and so forth. Well, one night. Wednesday night, let’s say. Alright, Viva Canon is walking around, one of the monks are, and he walks by one of the classrooms where one of the monks that was told to teach this night, he walked by and he heard the teaching.
He walked by and heard talking, heard teaching, and he looked in the room. And there was absolutely nobody in the room, not one single soul, and this guy was teaching with all his heart. He was just teaching it out, right? He couldn’t care less. He wasn’t a good teacher. So people didn’t come and hang with him.
Didn’t make any difference. He was just doing what was put before him. And he was in ecstasy. He was free. These are deep teachings. It’s not about success in family or it’s about coming in harmony with what’s in front of you and serving it to the best of your ability. And the first step in serving it, it’s to realize that moment’s holy, it’s holy.
It’s not important. It’s how I want it or don’t want it. It’s important because I’m the only one experiencing it. If I don’t experience it. God doesn’t get to experience and express himself through that moment there. Now you’re a demote. You understand that, and you just sit there and say, uh, I don’t care about me, not my will, but I will.
Die to be reborn is all the deep teachings by consciousness is in here experiencing the reality of the expression of creation of this moment. Not every moment, just this moment, and then the next, and then the next. Now your serpent of God. Now you’ve died to be reborn. You’ve let go of all that personal garbage you’ve built up that when you interact with that moment, it’s about you.
If you’re doing it the way I just talked about, it’s about the divine force experiencing what it created. You know what God says to you? Get out of my way. A nice Jewish yogi. I think the teachers of Christ are phenomenal. Forgive them Lord. They don’t know what they do. Forgive them Lord, if they know not what they do.
That’s a being who’s completely clear. Experiencing the reality of the moment unfolding and realizing that those people are lost has nothing to do with me. Understand, it has nothing to do with my pain or what’s gonna happen to me or fear of this or that. It has to do with I am open and this is the reality.
Christ constantly said, let unfold what’s meant to unfold when they went and arrested him. They hadn’t read the Bible for a long time. When they arrested him, one of the disciples took out a sword and cut off the arm of a soldier, right? Anyone know the Bible? Cut off the arm of the soldier. Christ said, no.
Do not resist. Picked up the arm and healed it. Put it back on. Let happen. What is meant to happen when he kissed Judas? Now you all think Judas is terrible. He leaned over, kiss Judas and said, now go do what you must do. This is what I’m telling you about. That’s a state that’s incomprehensible. It’s completely impersonal.
There is no personal involved. You’re just honoring and respecting the dance that’s unfolding. The Bava Gita we don’t wanna get into is all about that. That is every single thing you have, Christian’s teacher, or June, he’s teaching exactly what we just talked about. You’re not here for you. The instrument of divine will.
So the deep teachings are all about letting go of yourself. And if you’re trying to get for yourself, you’re not letting go of yourself. Alright? And so you catch on that evolution, this whole thing, divine evolution, you’re part of it. You’re going through situations that are, mayor Obama said life is like sandpaper.
It goes in two directions. Giving, taking, giving, taking, and trying to shake you off so you’re not caught in all this stuff, right? It’s liberating you. It’s not hurting you. It’s liberating you. The more you go through situations, of course they’re difficult. Why are they difficult? ’cause they’re hitting your stuff.
If you didn’t have stuff, it wouldn’t hit it. He has different stuff than you. She has different stuff than her. So life just goes about his business. Minding his own business, it doesn’t know it’s hurting you. A hurricane comes through 120 mile an hour winds, houses blowing away next morning. Was it look like bomb?
Beautiful, clear, crisp. It didn’t even say I was sorry. Did it? Nature unfolds. Can you handle it? That’s what it’s about. And when you pull together, like communities do, it makes you cry So beautiful, right? That all of a sudden neighbors that never talk to each other, pull together and are helping each other rebuild.
You hear me? Alright? That’s part of your evolution. There are people who have said to me often, very often that what I thought was the worst experience of my life turned out to be the best. I grew so much. I lost fear. I lost insecurity. Do you understand that? So now you’re understanding what’s going on.
That is the purpose of creation. And this moment in front of you is holy. But what if it’s wrong? You think it’s wrong ’cause you’re a Democrat. You think it’s right ’cause you’re a Republican who’s right. It’s based on the impressions that got left on you. And everybody’s welcome to paint in any picture they want.
That matches what they want. Do you understand? Don’t you dare think. That they don’t believe they’re right. And don’t you dare think that you don’t believe you’re right and point at it any way you want. So what does that mean? They don’t do anything? No, it didn’t say anything about you doing anything.
You’re going to have impressions from the past. You’re going to have opinions. There’s leftover stuff. You are welcome to be clear first. And then come down and participate in the dance. I said experience and expression. So if it comes down and you’re clear and your dharma is to carry signs or to resist or to protest, okay, but you’re not doing it ’cause it’s messing you up.
You are not doing, ’cause you can’t handle what’s going on. You’re doing it because this is your role to play. That’s the Gita. This is your dharma, this is your role. And so you come down with peace and consciousness into the moment. The moment is holy. Serve it how you serve. It has a lot to do with how it’s unfolding.
The point is when you’re clear, you’re Gandhi. King Martin Luther King, you’re the more that type of person. You understand that that is bringing peace and harmony into the world, but not fighting and killing and doing different things because you can’t handle it. When you can sit there and say, this is happening, and I feel that I can bring peace and harmony into the situation, by all means, it’s your job.
If it’s not your job, it will let you know. It’s a guide. Life is your guide, but you think the guide is by getting me what I want. No, the guide is by hitting your stuff when you’re out of harmony and eventually I’ll stop. Eventually you get to the point where I want it to hit my stuff. I don’t want this stuff in here.
I want to be part of the evolutionary process so that I can handle whatever takes place and then I can deal with it. Alright.
