and for some people their life situation looks very easy there may be a few but
often you're deluded when you look at the external situation of a human being
say oh I wish I had a life like that which is the case when you read I can
see a certain magazines that tell you the glossy surface of famous pimples and
rich people's lives and you believe that what you see all you see is the glossy
surface that's not their life at all in many cases if you could look deeper you
would see that they are just as miserable as everybody else in many
cases more miserable because they've got nothing else to project themselves into
because they already have everything where do you go from here I have
everything I'm still unhappy well try some other extreme sensation maybe that
would do it I can buy any sensation take any substance maybe they are tight and
they reach out here and there because I can afford it I can afford to reach out
and look everywhere experiences and then after a few years you think I can get no
satisfaction
and so your your present situation has been given to you in the same way that
as if you were a sculpture and the universe gives you a piece to work with
and some pieces look almost impossible to work with
what what can I make out of this but often the most beautiful things come out
of things that initially look impossible to work with
they require why they require more intense consciousness they require more
alertness if you have difficult life situation that we could call it karma if
you have a difficult life situation it requires more alert of presence
to transcend it to transform it to dissolve it to all the old patterns in
your life if you have your life is relatively easy your chances of going
beyond the personality are not that great as it becomes more difficult and
you suffer because of your life situation of course your motivation is
much stronger to go beyond that so with that with that comes the ability to just
accept your situation as it is situation is one thing the situation has a
continuity between past and future my life situation this is where it is been
married five times or you can the mind can say all kinds of
things there I failed for five marriages failed business ventures failed at this
succeeded at that and then failed again let's the past however the mind
interprets it there's no failing and succeeding it
just what happened and then this your possible future where you want to go and
your relationship at the moment your work situation your financial situation
your health situation that's all your life situation now you have to be alive
situation if you don't get out of it the alive situation then you'll remain stuck
you need to cut through this continuity between past and future and your life
situation with all the stuff that makes up put you lay your life cut through
your life situation see and this is vital vital teaching to become free of
externals because your life situation is all to do with externals X terms of my
life right now it may be good right now it may be not so good
this is the external situation of my life now before I carry on in my life so
called there's no such thing as my life is just a verbal thing my life were a
large part of my adult life my life situation was messy it was people you
would have thought it is two syllable to where am I going what am i doing what
and so many things I started and went and then abandoned them and it was messy
and the strange thing is you may something in you may resonate with that
because many life situations are messy there isn't neatly
bundle things settle on this and then I succeed at that and then I succeeded at
that in the night and then you have your walls full of diplomas and wherever you
succeeded but it's more it in most cases it's it is messy with lots of unfinished
businesses and very uncertain future where you going what's going to happen I
am I going to make it well you might make it for a little while until you
don't make it everything comes to an end in this realm of form but there is a
deeper round which you need to access and which is cannot be found in your
life situation it can only be found in the singularity of the present moment
which I call life so you have to extract so to speak from the results perhaps
somewhat messy life situation extract the present moment as the Course in
Miracles says single out this instant out of that whole flow of past and
future is your life situation so what's left I have a live situation everybody
has with which it's problems the life situation is free of problems it's
always sings simply every these people are all fine I'm the one with the
problems it's not true there everybody has their problems they might just be
hiding them very well so you have the live situation but it is vital that as
much as possible you extract from that what is the absolute reality about my
life situation and ask yourself that question and the answer is always this
moment the only thing that's absolutely real about my life is this moment just
I'm sitting here so looking flowers breathing feeling
perhaps some aliveness suddenly because I'm singling out this moment this is the
absolute reality of your life always what you call your life situation is a
relative reality it is much less real than this your future the next moment
tomorrow is nothing compared to this and when tomorrow comes it only comes as
this so to live as if tomorrow we're more important than this is madness
it's called normal living so your state of consciousness then needs to become
more and more present moment centered you can still deal with the things in
your life situation but you have access to something more vital and then in the
midst even of dealing with things in your life situation of going from here
to there to an important business meeting or to an interview or doing this
and that or sitting there talking to people or or sitting there looking at
the looking for a job because you lost your job looking at the internet or
wherever you find jobs and in that moment get out of your life situations
okay what is the reality of this moment is am i okay at this moment or not no if
you can't get out of your life situation rarely very rarely will you say that I'm
okay because you're trapped in in that whole stratum of of thought ultimately
it's all thought your whole past is thought and some emotions connected with
thought your future is thought emotions connected with those thoughts but has no
reality apart from those thoughts because when your past happened it was
the press when the future happens it will be the
present moment which you if you don't acknowledge that you miss it always you
miss the whole thing but I've said this a few times before but it it always
seems new even to me it is so in so vitally important so this moment single
out as the Course in Miracles says out of that whole problematic life situation
single out this moment what does that mean pay attention to this moment with
that comes in the darkness and then you will realize this moment is actually not
so bad I thought my life was so dreadful but this moment just this is actually
okay it might even be more than okay if you look more deeply it might feel good
to be breathing even though you might have lost your job which is part of your
life situation and yet you're breathing and yet there's a flower there and yet
there's the sky and yet there's a an aliveness pervading your entire body
let's sleep the present moment and keep Sundeep can even be grateful for life
you don't have to be grateful for your life situation how can you are grateful
for all the things that happen to me accompany normally don't need too big
gratitude is only required for this moment you acknowledge there is a
goodness here that the mind doesn't know anything
and you cannot exit it through conceptual thinking that is becoming
independent of external conditions because otherwise you look for that
goodness which is deep within you you look for that goodness in external
things and never find it not for long there is sometimes you
think you found it but it's not it and you look for the goodness in some
resolution of your life situation the happy ending of my search for fulfilment
even if some happy ending comes what comes after that more problems the happy
ending is often the wedding and what comes after that it's better not to show
it or the happy ending is I find the great job okay and then watch what comes
after that the problems that come with it great love
and that's not to say they don't look for anything you've still play in the
world of form you still continue to look for a job you don't say no I feel so
good now I'm not even going to look for a job anymore
that can't happen it happened to me for a while until the balance came back into
my life between inner and outer and this is why I'm telling you you don't have to
go there but if you do that's fine too if you feel so good to you okay in my
case miraculously I got sustained by the universe things came often at the last
minute never more than knowing what that would live on for one more day but what
about the day after tomorrow don't know and that worked
I'm sure Jesus said these things more is exactly the same they look how the
flower lives he said it's not worried about tomorrow
it's totally present in the now and yet life looks after it it's sustained by
the one life the one intelligence that underlies everything the one
consciousness it sustains it it gives look at the birds he says look at the
flowers of the field he wanted you to get in touch with nature to feel that
which sustains nature also sustains you
but you don't need to you continue then to to do what you have to do without the
stress and then everything flows with more ease and then you get a job
interview and you go to their job enjoy you feeling good because as you are
traveling to the interview you're sitting on the bus
it feels good to be here and you're looking at the tree and the bass and the
sky and you feel the aliveness in your body and you feel the deep the presence
within you the presence that you are and that's the present moment it feels good
and then you arrive not as the needy little me at the job interview but if
somebody who is happy to be there and I'm sure people will like you for that
because even if their mind is totally mad that might be it they might sense
something in your presence yeah in other words you're much more likely to get the
job if you are come from the place of I'm already fulfilled that and
everything flows with much greater ease but the practice is single out this
moment as much as possible and pay attention to it and then give me that
comes little while after comes to gratitude which is the most powerful
thing there is gratitude is inseparable from feeling the goodness of the present
moment the moment you feel the goodness
even in unlikely places because the goodness isn't ultimately are there you
feel it deep within in very hard places you have to go even deeper within to
find it and that is it doesn't really have a physical location but if I had to
point to a physical location it's kind of all around here
and that is liberation let's liberation not only liberation
from external conditions deliberation from your mind and then life unfolds
with greater ease not free of problems things challenges continue to be thrown
at you but they they bounce off or get transformed because you're no longer
complain about the challenges of life you no longer have a little meaning that
says this shouldn't be happening why this happening to me to me shouldn't
happening to me but but it is and without the complaining entity the
resisting entity immediately the Situationists comes into the field of
the where presence and then the challenge becomes transformed so don't
expect freedom from challenges it's not going to happen you don't need it in
fact all that happens to chalice is a deepening of that presence so the
practice is singling out this moment and then that's the end of stress - I'll
just explain to you when I occasionally I give talks I'll just explain briefly
how I experience it giving a talk let's say the talk is at 8 o'clock in the
evening I start getting ready at 6 and
if there were a mental projection a mental a thought movement that said okay
at six I'm giving a talk to 2,000 people what are we going to talk about what is
it going to be powerful enough are they going to like me
are they going to be receptive what what if the words don't come anymore they
expect a lot I might be able to set it will I be able to satisfy them this is
an important event a very important talk so many people some people from the New
York Times are coming oh my god and of course they're totally
going to totally misinterpret everything oh my god that would be very stressful
so how do I not and cannot be stressed before this important talk first is you
let go of the idea that some important event is coming up and see single out
this moment which is I'm getting dressed and then I'm looking out of the window
and put on my shoes and then I sit there breathing there's just this moment
there's only ever this moment why should this important event has no reality yet
except as a mind structure so I'm not going there there's just this then the
phone rings is the Kai's here okay I go out elevator down one step at a time
going to the car drives off look out of the window traffic people houses it's
just this moment very simple nothing big just this moment then you go arrive at
the place go into the green room sit there eat a banana just this moment stay
with this moment it's so natural you don't even have to try anymore
- what is and then you said please somebody comes in feeding one or two
weird places where theatres where they have a certain structure and then there
they there's a loud speaker in the green room and then it's ten H five to eight
voices the show starts in five minutes I didn't know it was going to be a show
but I'm not going to believe that because there's only this moment and
then Don strange is only this chair and there's this little man sitting on a are
breathing and looking and what is it that this moment requires it requires me
to be still and look and after a while I realized it it words are required and
then I start often by saying make sure you're completely here this is it it's
this moment take your tension into this there's no
big event it's simple and there isn't 2,000 people it's just one thousand
there that I'm talking to one person and that's all there's no there's no some
mental excitement around it just just play with the simplicity of the present
moment and that people wait for some grand important thing in their lives
finally when is it going to when is what are these expressions when is my boat
coming in or whatever the expressions are
well if you're looking to it in the future is not coming and if it comes you
won't be happy stay with the simplicity of this moment and honor it then your
life becomes deep don't expect some great thing stay with your life consists
of little things even if you became some important public figure president of the
United States even he if he is just can only do one thing at a time can only
step into the car step out of the car go to his desk answer the phone
talk to people look into the camera one thing at a time but then go to bed and
breakfast and the same thing happens again so though instead of then instead
of having your life centered on past and future and your life situation you make
the center of your life the present moment and the rest also you give it
attention as it's needed but on a practical level only you do what's
needed to for the future you remember your past what you need to remember you
remember it without looking to it for some kind of validation of who you are
because that's not in the past who you are is could only be found in the depths
of yourself in this moment in the presence that the very presence that you
can sense at this moment as you sit here you can't define it but you know there
is a presence the rest may be a dream but underlying the dream there is the
presence there is the light of consciousness you are that not what
appears in the light it comes and goes it's fine so that's the the secret then
is Moin more this pay attention to this and
then whatever you do also becomes empowered the power of the present
moment flowing into what you do let's the practice and you gradually become
free you become free of the the personality the person that before was
this heaviness of the mean you become free of the conditioned entity which
still operates from time to time through you but there's something more vital
that shines through the conditioned entity and occasionally I've seen it in
people who were close to death there the conditioned entity subsided and it was
just surrender and aliveness and light
but you don't have to wait for death
it's no access that now in your life so that is what our Sufi who later became a
Sufi master what he learned when he became willingly accepted the position
of slave what he learned was and then he started to learn how to weave for him
then for years only this moment and he was weaving everyday weaving
and being just present for that no name nobody just a presence behind the
wailing and then live said you can move on now continue moved on and through
this training his personality had dissolved and his presence emerged and
he was then recognized as a great teacher so he wasn't looking for ideal
conditions while he was in a way but not what one would have thought as ideal
conditions for awakening
