this is my fourth class and
i've picked out some
turkey's to talk about tonight that the iran suggested the home
if we would like to
to think about or press her this may arena have some effect on her practice
so i've been burned by to say something about that were you have a question from know people have been questioning you know that that's a good thing because they realize that people is family
that questions which is the runners so if you have some questions or would like to express how this is affected your practice
you met such a he came up the other day with those people i was talking with around a worry of seeds and if one can water the seeds of another person or is it rewired just andrea and that influence
you know if the interplay between two people and and the elia of one person well there's no interchange between home
would you say we influence people of course and seven
how it will what will be an example
if i have a friend who is a dress
i would be rigid ever to remind him of a sort of the level what opportunities are things that are reassure here are some kind of uplift to make him
a away from his current state of affairs to a brighter place well let's say that a case that you are influencing them and leave a response in a way
to see to home change and some zone
we are being and by his acceptance
so that kind of speaks to like you can't really change everybody's really change yourself well hopefully we can change the
the
but
are you can help someone to change yeah but you can catch engine burn everything you do when you look at it carefully
oh
because the scenes or or own experience that seeds are deposited in through our own experience
so we have influence on people don't know we have involved in sentencing
so a real influencing each other and also we also there's there's a kind of share and you know a liar and a deep sense
we sure
the human race's experience
but our individual
i see the individual seeds that we have created over time to our at pensions and and thoughts
is our own mothers each one of was creator and karma were two kinds of karma was shared karma and the others individual karma
which means action
where does the actual come
so
we wish really a country the sins of the country citizens of the country
share that country's karma
the results of our kit
share actions
but we we be about
influencing other people
there is possible to influence somebody and they can see that that person can see in a constructive impulse and smell to change but that comes from their own consciousness yes
so you're not if you just trying to save yourself you know you can feel someone trying to or feel somewhat
expressing anger or what i have you know that is trying to water your own seeds of anger and try a long time now it's like that happen i mean do you how you irrigate
continually so that you don't let that happen
no well we get there is reaction and response
we usually get caught up you know the degree of example
the in japan there is there was a temple i removed the still and practice still exists but there was a member of back in the sixties you heard about this temple of railings are inside temple and the monks would be silly and the senior bucks
would go around hitting them and and calling names know and telling them that their mother was this the kidnap and this was all meant to help them to not react
so it's really hard not to yeah but if you make an effort to log back in to respond that's called practice you actually making it effort instead of when that because when somebody does something to be don't like to us we have a reaction but
we don't have to carry out the reaction into it and put it into play we can this so buddhist meditation practice off the cushion if this is to notice to be aware of every reaction that comes out everywhere
actually work
of emotion and this anger is no advertising
the
the meditation every night so you didn't notice that and then you have a choice or not
they say i don't have a choice and then you react but with some action or he said be careful this is just a trap
we actually there's a chap if you fall into the trap of the time and then we show how do i get out of this trap that your question how do i follow this trevor and to go to this track so that's conferences snares and circle
depends on what do you go to chops and stairs will never reach yes
why is that sometimes they might have and others because of our self
this is that this is a top total thing but this is a us modest is the reactor the actor as reacted
because gunnison this up that which sutter's is to self
minus minus to suffer
and lionesses is is that the actor
which reacts
that's let's it's called to lose herself delusion himself
so
to rise above
the reaction
so that you have a rich times worse
so we're really suffering that's just a ego all out yeah so you have to reload someone is angry and you feel that anger is directed at you and your secretary so good
can can rise above it and say i am the parent of these people
does this person
the person second like a child
and i'm not a child so i'm not going to act like a child the way this person is actually like the child so although it's hard to accept
the slings and arrows
we can let them go through
and then responded person
if and they can tell you how
but if we can do that the new you will find out how
you know
you want to teach this person something right
poach him i can you know that's what yeah yes so act like a teacher and i'm like a victim
yes
i can really impressed at how are present monarchs is everyday consciousness yeah it's almost as though every time i finally attention to act and with where i understand the practice mass popped up
he's right there like a shadow yeah of a lot of share with get
it's to have this fact frustrating chef
when we live at modest pachauri the sentence with it as long as we say i'm doing this i then be myself and i that months
this the isn't i also minus or ego when for sort of deciding that someone else needs help or that someone else is being this or someone else how how's that different than us deciding what we're going in that sort of
just a reflection that it's outward well this
i'm
you excited to help somebody in the ribs and with into the real smith's so if we if we the when you know this all abstraction now so give me an example
let's say someone just the something out in the courtyard word okay let's say someone came up as foster put down on the the table and said a guy you know i wish this you know why this is just you know i tried to clean this place up and look at this right
where you are and they turn around and walk off and it would be so easy thing oh that person is mad because this this this this and i'm not sure how different me making that decision about what's going on with
down and why is
it just seems like there's the ego involved that as well when i make that decision and oh i'm going to go help them feel better i think so you want to help them do feel to come down to your better job of and with this idea that i know okay they're mad and so on so or this or that or because of this or
that yeah well an average say you don't need to know the reason
but if you if you feel sympathy for that person or some compassion for the person
i didn't push chocolate
you know have to get into that thing just some some gesture that you understand
so you understand you don't get me to understand anything but you to stand they're unhappy and you know you wonder whether this but you're not doing it for your own self satisfaction you doing for them if you're only doing for everything you're going to come down that happened because i could i did see
a
as always it's just doing
that's
my consciousness
that as soon as you say look at the nursing my dick that's minus

oh lord i've been thinking a lot since last class about seems like direct perception keeps being brought us is that something we make an effort to newtonian like obviously we're always having never were not conscious of our well you know what can be conscious you're not conscious is it our efforts during y
what your sauce and i'm not positive to try to tune into directors no actually this direct perception occurs when you're not trying to do anything
that's why concerned it's all direct perception not try and do anything
the trying to do so as soon as you start analyzing this the longer direct perception is really hard to have to maintain direct perception who do you know here or there
the but it's it's to show thinking and analyzing that it's the with perception the country taking a step back
and ah
it m
you can be referential
the first start naming and it's no longer direct perception direct perception is no naming it's like when you're sending it doesn't and the airplane of by hearing just years soon just say that's an airplane is no longer direct perception
so direct perceptions like a baby
the baby
because the bark and there's the toy and but there's no discrimination
new boss in sydney and then it out that's the babies way and that said you should do that
although i wouldn't hurt
that that's why you know psychologists next few years ago like when people are going to the sandbox right
and just let go of all that stuff you know that elder elder stuff that we put our top
and it's or africa also asked the question to be trying to turn to direct perception i try and what you describe doing exhausted national effort out of to this is significant that the effort is not to have direct perception that's maybe it is you know but
is to grab the
perhaps strips of yeah that gap
no
i'm looking through my words here the
representational aspect representation means that instead of experiencing something directly we we experience a representation lee
so the idea about it as a representation and we live in our representations we don't live directly
mostly we in their representation so as soon as we see there's the book yourself up already representation but if without thinking about
and so yeah i don't think about it
that's correct procession
so but insurance and then the book is about this and about ten little words know all representation so it's okay we need representation vicinity
your levels of representation
there are important otherwise you don't we can operate
but direct perception is without representation
boston tea party
what south africa
now
decided that if ah
i find that i start at heard the expression feel like i'm fighting my my father time to been riding my own but try to chase around my motives and yeah do i tried to dog track of catch his tail does that usually succeed some top and you've said this
is your breath or lives now i can put my catch on there
and antics and that other the other phrase
take the backward step in that seems to be
where things settle us and what what happens what happens but at least i can step back from china figured at which is not helpful in this person at my house yesterday was sort of relate to someone and i i
just had to it i step back step back to actions that's what happened have already happened
and i don't have there's nothing i can say it seems to be helpful someone just stepping back
well you know dimensioning you centering yourself yeah always always said you really so so when kicker you know talking about
come
can engraving wrote to angry instead of

losing
miss them back into your breath and then take a step back
and and sutherland breath from the deaths are you come up with a response and that a marriages and emerged to other to get during out thing you don't have to figure out a little emerges so that from trust you trust in your second
and when you said session seven days oh average learn to trust you inspired me a beer anatomy
no
so having lived through a variety of theories about how infants think and what they are about i i have some dubiousness about how we idealize
how free of conceptualisation they aren't what that means i mean i think we actually don't know anything about house influence thing except by inference and so
here here i go making it if you fit yeah it seems to me that an infant is all about
learning to conceptualize and organize the world and actually that is unit a try for mastery of the conceptualisation is that maybe the most powerful driver development at least that's what i think that to be able to step beyond conceptualism
patients into an on conceptualisation having achieved conceptualisation it's a really different operation yeah and the perception of an infant which we actually don't know what that is but we we imagined that we know what that is and we use
the imagery of what an infant might be perceiving as a way of trying to get a i i i wonder if that doesn't do a disservice to the new process that we're really talking about choose to have having can having achieved conceptualisation of
reality of organization and cognitive ability to organize things to be able to step beyond that is actually something different
no
it's about organizing on the basis of reality instead of on the basis of pollution that's that's to have them
hey listen touched reality you can organize you so
and a true way that's what we have so much disorganization in this world because we organize yourself
oh
one decision that with were using a tradition as the basis to organize and so we going on as more and more delusion unless we know how to country i will be it's not the
no we stay in the students situation fit or mine
when you really touch reality the new organize your show
ralph on the basis of snow which means a of course you have to use your imagination you have to use representation and all those factors which form the basis of the the databases but branches of i was but unless you touch the base than the branches are just
floating in space
let's hope the floating world that's what the japanese to like a plausible that said the problem is not our conceptualisation out as i don't yes
we conceptualized and get further affirmed in the way from to let him touch it lest we so that's why practices you spent time directing thirty and then you keep coming back to that as this basis
your conceptualizations
nourish question brings brings us back to the topic of direct perception mood i've been spending a lot of time on right because the years of a very alert and smart dogs you send there's a quality of paying attention
that she has it's quite remarkable i wonder if there's it's not quite young child but i wonder if there's something about how we pay attention or something that quality of paying attention that relates to this direct perception beyond concession you can learn but beyond conceptualisation
a integrating our wisdom with just showing up to what's happening in china token you're talking about terms have you stay was posted was doing that as an allophone
would you say something of a direct perception is a quality a certain height of paying attention
well when we repaired you just so we used the your mindfulness
it's the spirits were strongly just noise
he was a direct result you know
one hundred
for their america rex perceptions with their lot of latin america
that's what was supposed to me
we were talking about direct perception that and to understand that either my experience than i'm wondering if you could say something about the quality of paying attention which part of direct the points that went to work experience a direct temporary construction just hearing
justin
but before you without consent without referential the wrote referring to something else about it
so

the home
so as reliving almost all the time in world representations of your images that seems to leave the place where were privacy photographs of course and so it seems to me that we're not really kind of your meal those things we're trying to practice buddha downloads
through with his
combine those things that's the test the the ground and which we live our life we live our lives in the dualistic goals
the direct perception is the perception to represent representing to them splitting the
i'm splitting the perception in two parts
already any bugs is the one is a perception
without discrimination discrimination means to divide and compartmentalize so or this that's what we talk about discriminated in mind all the time
and not discriminating mind or time so
no the practice or practice based on the undiscriminating minds which includes discriminating mind of course but it's not discrimination of discrimination for the discrimination of non-discrimination she's so discrimination this is the field of our about life where
always always distribute in of the time and less would have the were experiencing direct perception so direct perception is the not the in mine which would rarely experience that's why we have something called sad
when you sit and atmosphere that might you know the mind is discriminating know time
we don't
follow up the discriminations
you you mind wanders and that's the discriminating the
the villainous consciousness
malice or been over time it
is is always
i'm creating thoughts
the only time
oh so we have five consciousnesses and six sixes
i'm own consciousness which actually and sleep doesn't work
the my consciousness
is it is i'm not continuous norway arises through and interactions with us and reliably done or can keep going on all the time even in sleep even in death means for the it just keeps going on
so
when recent in and of course this book because secretion for the mind
secretions of that when you have an aquarium you know the depression era and water and then you have the air where there's the elite bubbles are killing up you know the air oxygen out to make a water that's the same thing as your mind the bubbles it's described as the bubbles
coming up here he knows somewhere
the oxygenation mind consciousness must have manners
so so you can turn it off you can turn off a little while you can make a big effort but you know it comes up from the name throw you out now i'm not thinking about thinking i'm happened
really very tender and you don't try to turn that he just didn't just
let it go let it be but you don't get involved with it
so this is how
new operating the world
we do have to get involved with in the world
but
it just gives us an opportunity to experience
to represent you in
are just too well as outcomes is just the thought it's not
the job this feeling is justice been decided just as that there's no discrimination when you are really good at sitting further didn't you can go there and the nerve to stop distributed otherwise you're always fighting yourself
no fighting that's discrimination certain teaches us everything we need to learn for the
teaches a have it will try that whatever through fighting will always win
sergeant yes so with these crows out here expressing ourselves we can either decide oh they must have found a really great stash food and and party or we could name if i say oh they're they're angry but by
by and because we're human we can to
to to give something a container for our human so what grind step i stay oh it's just a noise he still was naming it but he was able to have a more neutral rather than placing
something on it that that it was still so there's ways to name at that and we have to learn right that but it's a more
i don't know well if he was creating representation
so
ah
but squawking it is the were naming something
i the figure she's talking about what the blue jay is even tougher and with the blue jeans are like really worth the crows and the in the summertime and don't complain the information
women with no
blue jays is am
a squawk and such that the blue jay come into your heart and become the blue jay
so that's like man separation when we are discriminating were separated
so that's what discrimination means a separate so the subject and the object so the subject is me
and the object is the boogeyman
so the more i been noise at the blue jay more discriminating and annoying my consciousness becomes
so when i can just go up but the discrimination which is about for easy to do because it's annoying second
you can one of the budget
so but at least you have to give up yourself
the third thing to do the hardest thing in life you see the web surfer and that welcome and suicide
but it's a hardest thing to do it but i think we have to do because in the end we all have to give up
right now i do it so
we have to learn how to do that

when and some lowest thing is
the opinion that one where water when the high cost to are a key that that that that giving up as the quality offering up i'm looking at offering and that there's some there's a very national live energy of reverence and devotion that actually makes
variance of it is that it's not a subject object oriented it's just it's a vibrancy just and it's so lovely and actually nourishing that it like one of those ah this is this
when you know the difficult emotions come off or unit which are inevitable somehow i don't know if i caught a cpa and water maybe but i've had enough moments of of that experience to be able to go on
there's something more intriguing here within this emotion that's actually got a vibrancy to it and like anger you know despair and actually has a lot of energy to and so i'm noticing that when i just come back to in my body the energy of it just kind of being with the energy of it
that something got shift but sometimes you can feel like it takes energy to stay with that energy and i wonder how how you on what you would offer to to practice with that know
will return
uruguay
rogelio which will let him go and to constitution are offering hoping this offer
the grades terms we produce but when we let go models are you go need to be right
or to be no on top or whatever it is
the we become or will expand into our true self
no you only way that we can expand into a juicer is to allow small flock to be absorbed into the treatment of bedroom
that's their offering we offer herself to the big show and then we have personal inspection
we do have to return to find the world
but you know
this is system
so protection means protecting was principally
from
and biosensors really grip on us
financially feel the the need to protect so when we can offer them
the
our consciousness harmonizes with the pavilion and with objects
so
that's that's person should practice how do you have to be harbingers which means
offering
like you would often is good that's a positive step thing
but in dropping is a day but operators president but both negative and positive we're depending on the situation
hello
it's all self protection function of mirnas you have a well whether it's a to take you know also protection
a
i didn't read the part with you
herkimer like where you can be your question
i've looking for ended think secure can
well the the second half of my question was or is some self protection of function of to represent percent yeltsin perfect
this is what
is all
self self protection of function of mars or is some self protection and functional direct perception it can be he can be both to be either this method self protection of bad see like this
come on
clean wholesome or unwholesome and neutral
so some
when you when we talk about self protection
is protecting something that is

necessary to protect then there's something that's not necessary to protect and how do you decide that will touch up to you
miss that
so but to so protection of that man as isn't involved with is protecting illegal content to you know whereas
some protection for
but there's a fire in the house in the hood and then he responded at this serpent so protection for others
because others or yourself
what if it's just you it's still just you yeah as backstory we put the flames out read that so anyway the thing is
when we talk this way
do you have to reverse that even though we're talking in absolute terms is that actually
that always picks up you know just his a way of speaking
and so we have to be careful that get by other words
that can track it because it's not an exact science
it said
intuition on can be standing
and you know things leanness where are they lean that way that they're known as show they always like this
that life doesn't go that way even other rules thirteen is everything is determined by rules and regulations and then i don't know what the rules and regulations are considerably
but everything has a reason forbid and of cause but we don't necessarily know what causes the grid and reasons are some things we know but
other things we don't that's why we go headlong into grade
karma that has a result we have this happened to be mostly can we didn't understand the law a patch things up operate
and the law of things operates got the ball com it's trip was a member and thought about business working downtown actually going to sit over
a don't and time and stop at this little
hamilton jumped because many years ago and had a picture with air plenty in the tree in the back into his countered and the stanton
in aerodynamics is very strict has trip worse than the people who fight with is it will end up like this
well that does what life is about life as very strict laws and so the study of how combat works this study at the don'ts
and then focuses about basically to about how karma works and what to avoid and went another one and we haven't gone through the list the darkness which are the constituents of i
if you like to read into this dharmas but i've done that before nothing must have been no studies with are two hundred dollars
and the school
when she couldn't the levels of contests and all the good and and a wholesome and unwholesome dharmas that we're dealing with all the time and how to avoid
really bad karma and how to make a colonel and how to avoid carpal period of fifteen second
so

she said in the will
well yeah i could so one married of don't fish

huh

oh

see a go to protect and hunkered the sun my heart
which she pentagon this
he is of will talk about understanding but you know the sun
this is like my personal heart of my bigger and is the universe
but here he says something very interesting and he says
these teaching from this data about the school are given to us to help our meditation practice not as descriptions of reality
we should not forget that the phenomenon which we call the six percent of consciousness reality in itself representations of reality to not exist independently of one another or abstain time a representation of an object which appears in a dream is also a living
reality in which the whole an ambitious person we often think that the image of a ferry in a dream has no geology since it is without material basis so what about the images that our tv screens are here you can regress to the substance and trying to material basis still they are real
the entire universe is present in them the presence of an illusion includes everything in the universe the illusion can exist only because everything else exists so it's existence as the same marvelous nature as a particles in modern science of particle is no longer seen as salad or concurrently defined
natasha lot about science and mcdonnell is you very well spoken in modern science and he had love analogies between good and government in science so
subject this book and better for many used
but the most issues but about science and burma
so yeah she's to help us the to make some
concrete it's a model of consciousness it it's it's a good of think about consciousness and the way to help us think about it a line in our practice
so that's that's good it's about

so i'm going to
read this from
you are
an end of it
you know i guess skipper ella and i get inspired percentage of don't necessarily to corresponding detours again
so this is a pig to a report from the nineteen
section nineteen the ground of wholesome and unwholesome
my good photo for

have an ambition here and zero it said she didn't see xeroxed yeah i can
now it
it was a iraq started on cage as i think one forty three this last one south we have previously in every for me
well let me just readers
now if we don't have no can not have
so the pumpkin the verse says as the ground and clinton wholesome and unwholesome on the sixth and the other six manifest in consciousnesses badass continues discriminating and it's nature's both indeterminate and
and obscured so after i should mention that but obama's continue to discriminating
so this section talks about wholesome and unwholesome
minus is the basis for determining whether the other six manifest in consciousnesses the sense consciousness status of eye ear nose tongue body and mind our wholesome or unwholesome that would be
well it exceeds the sense consciousnesses are heavily influenced by monarchs in other words i hear those time by your mind are heavily influenced by minus the seventh consciousness
self consciousness is badass is obscured and confuse they are obscured in years
if manas is partially liberated they will be partially liberated if modest loves in a blind and confused way the other six consciousnesses percent will suffer the greater than the blindness of modernise degraded the of blindness and six per cent seventh consciousnesses
so when about as opens itself becomes more accepting the six consciousnesses also enjoy openness and acceptance that is what matters is called the ground and wholesome and unwholesome in order to transform mars we have to transform or store consciousness
which hold all the siege that are the base tomatoes so modest is supported by
damn liar the store consciousness and matters is the basis for my consciousness and the six consciousnesses drivers so the six consciousnesses stop operating from down to time and other words when you're asleep when you faint
whether unconscious
but monarchs like the store consciousness is continuous boss goes up working day and night unlike strong consciousness which is continuous but does not discriminate
the nature and badass is both continues and discriminate
chill man this is a great discriminator
to say that abundance has always discriminating means that it holds onto the object that regards as itself is beloved we love myself
do you not shown that your hand if you don't provincial can give them back with nature so
everything in the world is connected with this year we think those things about myself i'll be this is what i saw the jeffrey have that idea
this is myself and everything outside it is stop myself
do everything
so we generally think that our actions are rational
that only when we understand something to we that this is not only so we have some understanding that often emotions are stronger than around reason it
construe that

that's why it's important to be able to see things is ridiculous you should say to see things as it is means direct perception
because then we're glad we're not creating a world of fantasy
so the nature of boss is indeterminate
the can let me a circus it's is essentially is neither good or bad we can do put it you know gift to been as a bad rap but it's not good or bad
it's indeterminate again like store consciousness but it is obscured by ignorance
obscure means to be covered up covering is one of the unwholesome damage
you cannot see the light and so simply covering it up ignorance in sanskrit is video video means average
jimmy's the absence of knowledge veil of ignorance that covers bonus is the tendency to discriminate between self and non-self
indeterminate beads neither wholesome or unwholesome this means that there is a possibility of transformation from clinging and discriminating to let it go and non-discrimination the transformation of modest can happen because it is indeterminate to euro
brambles but it can also give rise to fragrance fragrance of flowers
read the paper your day
but
someplace the a character book and but i remember is the incident as and
usually when prisoners are released from prison they're given eighty five bucks
you know an addiction to someplace maybe and so when we get when they going to do with their app you know there's nothing would just giving a person i've been in charge and dreaded land
but this guy is taken
ah
well the criminals in this town that criminals and city and he's making its instead of thinking of them as bad he sees that the energy that is making them give the things they do it's the same energy that would make sure i do subject good so the x actually say
energy so his cookies creating venues for them to actually go to work rather than that steel and
and it has been working which is custom model that were everybody should follow in every city in the world
yeah i was not passing patterns from panama they just are you saying criminals and then there are now becoming targets yes setting up there are business yeah so we get their own business then whether they actually steel bezel napkins of both
the but still that doesn't ever opportunity and then temperatures
we have always unemployed people anyway i don't know them anyway but that's like you know people are neither good nor bad there determined it but they'd going one way or the other
and we believe in people instead of thinking of and better as good at bet simply because are so bad that we can help
all the way through
but on average
people are neither good nor bad it just circumstances they create and that and karma karma and circumstances the the compound
form various problems in people
so the are weapons with what's most interesting the art of
turning
ah ten people around so that that energy to close this way can go this way
so the nature of store consciousness is obstructed which means that it could become other extract a dumpster which means that can be come true bond buddha-nature there is no obstacle standing in its way
there is the possibility of reaching the realm of things in themselves which is a good suzuki should go things as it is transformation occurs in the store consciousness with the seeds from which modernist as evolved or transformed models will be transformed that the discriminate
one between self and non-self by and that mine vanish
so this is
poverty which means transformation when bodice is transformed or turns around rotates
then got a liar rotates and all that other consciousness rotate all at once and then we can't wisdom still being called the can still consciousness printer called wisdom instead of consciousness and minus becomes the wisdom and equality
and
did you go which is bad cases rightful place in the hierarchy of consciousness

the goal of meditation is well this is the meditation is it has made a any way to goal of meditation is to make a change at the root of minus the sort of the and historical injustice
this is called transformation at the base para our property interest when i talking about poverty is the revolution
revolution is turning and going in different direction
shariah his base only with like a bite of us can this radical transformation takes place take place through mindfulness we can learn turn and go and direction of awakening practice is to transform the nature of been as a little bit each day and research
store consciousness more and more from its grip so
dallas has a alliance his grip and that distorts our bus and it
modest has store consciousness
grip and distorts the seeds
ah the root of bothers his delusion
the seeds of ignorance that lie deep in restore restored consciousness the highest test for the body consciousness this is the now we find that i'm conscious since the reason i wanna talk about this is because it talks about he talked about the three together how they work together to highest test my unconscious
this which is monique michel know mcmanus is to shine the light of mindfulness and bus and the it in our store consciousness allowing us to see them when are my consciousness the sixth consciousness protect projects like until these seats
touching a deeply with mindfulness in penetrates the blocks of delusion and helps them to be transformed
when illuminated but i later learned from this delusions and this able to manage as did not want some acts of about his speech and mine so much consciousness
i'm actually is is independent as well as dependent
so well when i think about my consciousness and bonus bonus but it was john
i'm
i think that a my consciousness is the to sense of what consciousness basically what is the declare consciousness and the others the modeled consciousness
the of side that critics models right and i think of matter was not as the clear side because it's not the ego but it interacts with a ago and it's it's influenced by ego that's when he was sort of ego it's so troublesome because
not only does it
cutter
eliana it also manipulate my consciousness which is basically ever are thinking consciousness and unconsciousness the think straight
so when illuminated by the way to mindfulness delusion so this able to manage the know and all from acts and a featured much such as solution operates his darkness but not unlike
with these blocks of ignorance or transformed minuses transformed
check think of and
patient people can into demons and i have a go i learned that if you wanted to get rid of your demons you have to shine a light on them because they don't exist in like the i'm interested in the dark
have you ever wake up to the morning
i know bed and valleys
you know that quite in a c and like a week and when you start thinking about things they all seem so
impossible
now tether
overwhelming in subway dark but then we get up in they are gone and they just now on and stay of it but if the crayon on your mind and they just appear there for various reasons
so it's kinda like viruses you know
so are mine consciousness does not have to work directly with us my catch this doesn't have to or directly with malice it can work with seeds in the store consciousness so but he's saying is that by consciousness can skip
over bodice to the store as is that to productivity
work with the such yes i used example that you to share and share relate to get waking up in the morning or actually waking up out of the sleep you know i know like law works churning come from again going back to that energy piece is
weighs me down in the bed and yet it's incredibly vibrant grants you can't quite sleep and so that piece of like and you can just go to the the city's association feels like you know like stand up comedy routine you just throw a curveball on the audience or someone you know it's
the heckler in the audience to lhasa and everybody's like pump one in that moment of it so i love feel something shifts and what i know this is that just comes naturally it's very hard to make that happen to the boom
well that that just something that just shifts it
in some cases it's actually something amusing it's like i can feel these thoughts with this churning or this light mama you know into despair rage or whatever it is and aunt sudden i don't know i might like here's someone crack a joke in my mind you know or or just make a face or or it'll be a
twitch and body and all the sudden i'm aware twitching and my talk and just like that
well things happen but as i work with it's interesting to me is that doesn't come from a willfulness it it also naturally arise and so there's the sense of kind of being on a surfboard or you know riding the wave of that wild energy
the or that to arrives natural
you get lynchburg phone
through the roof of course
nothing just about cause order the would cost prohibitive bring
is
go
you can't trust causes
the bus ritualistic up to the constant in the dream because the know for indices so
i know that's good
if you currently oh
so
door consciousness is like a garden the boiler blinker garden the field were the to store
a plot of earth and companies overseas a garden can not cultivate itself a garden is needed to to when the gardener has pode whole bills so seeds and one of the earth the earth offers flowers and fruits to support a life of the garden
for our mind is like a garden
and the gardener know the food is that he that brings forth for fruits of the earth itself his job is simply to take care of the earth
i like superior she thought to preserve through mindfulness my consciousness thirty for shooters and delusion
in creating the blocks and separate better in the store consciousness this is the day and night like a gardener working non-stop in this way mankind is this helps to third countries brute force the fruit of the practice joy peace agreements permission to remind you join like thirty
lot about mental illness the contract through mindfulness my consciousness which is the sixth consciousness touches the feathers of diversion and creamy the block suffering that earn the store consciousness so they know and trip when it's not working
this is done on earth so
and consciousness is low
has this can friendship friendly relationship to to been a lot of actress and was like the cultivator of the seats
so when we use our my consciousness to generate the energy and mind to us so motorola seems to come from
oh well as there's no mindfulness is in question to censor in the in your life is known hold the seeds of mindfulness but the scenes and mindfulness are
provoked by by transistors and then my consciousness case for working the scenes of a mindfulness and and and was become stronger and stronger and more
conscious so we use my consciousness to generate the energy and mindfulness by practicing mindful breathing or working we wanted to see to mindfulness that is already person in our store going justice
this generates even more energy and mindfulness the culture and even further into the store consciousness so what we use the energy in mind for just attach other seats we hope those seats transform we're mindful as turkey's beautiful poem to see if it helps these seeds develop they reveal themselves more clear
early when it touches negative see it will help them seem to transform so we don't want to destroy modest
you simply want to help it to transform so that worst for us instead of against us so sometimes we say
where are worse than are where our own worst enemy read
oh
sometimes we don't like
something today
just be yourself but actually something that don't just be excellent
when we come to a practice and we bring our store consciousness about the service
no
and we see see to dharma or my consciousness so see ch and are sort of consciousness we cannot hold seats of garbage in our intellect are like consciousness we have to bring their teachings into a whole person and and a world where store consciousness the day and
and we're working shouldn't be drinking all our activities the water water the seeds with i'm going to us
so we keep returning to the subject by told us has really the explanations for i think you're bunch of this is
when we're things of them
by wanders and we bring it back your mind wanders can remember when this is water the seeds of mindfulness because we to the mind wanders the two million times and we keep the with a complaint is
we simply keep returning to my problems are breathing went to this is a
the postion
now some mentor
now and social call center to the practice of recollection
you are you remembering what you're doing your you and what and i think of any just going back to to the great depression and so or if we think about that all day then or brackets from practicing all day
so we can have confidence in our store consciousness store consciousness never seasons as as activity during the night in or by consciousness being arrested start tradition and that's number six but er stort countries in the continues to work after the gardener stuff
the soil continues to work in order to help the seed sprout and grow sooner or later quite naturally we will have a breakthrough
that's true
even though we don't necessarily recognize him as a breakthrough
it's just like vader we saved ah
my bookshelf point back there i think to have a break here
i worked to eliminate cause never were
some sooner or later
the flowers and fruits of awakenings will arise from a historical consciousness by unconsciousness as to just store consciousness just as a gardener has to trust the land both roles are important remember them that enlightened but inside will be brought to you not by by consciousness
though there was not by thinking
that's really your intellectual understanding go through the deeper is to produce store consciousness after transformation store consciousness becomes the great barrier wisdom shining forth and a and and everything
the store consciousness well it's know
the turned ambitious because the wisdom are you prepared which these everything just as it is without distortion does directly touching
for awakening to our we have to sell the seat of a when getting in our store consciousness if we only use of mind consciousness for mental gymnastics he won't go very far in other words you can just play with used to like that word many people keep to teach him to leave they learn up in there
i'm consciousness using their intellect to poke and prod them but even though they think about them and talk about them all the time they never learned how to bring the seeds the dharma into their store consciousness and interested in the fertile soil if you practice meditation with your mind consciousness alone you can never succeed don't think about
learn from a reputation teacher
mr suzuki roshi is to say and
don't rely on me i am i too much you know i might not be something you should rely on
oh
don't think are really too much about the things he learned during the meditation teacher instead so the darkness in their store consciousness that in their everyday life whether you are walking standing lie down sitting correctly you're working at a computer water that stage to bind with us everything you do is
practice if you do it comes short consciousness your plot of land will try allow these darren seeds to germinate and flower of awakening lowbrow and chapter eleven we learned about the three dharmas seagulls been self impermanence and nearby
another way to describe your vada is intervening
contemplating the not self impermanent emily dependent interdependent nature if you know that can help us reduce the amount of delusion and bus and bring us closer to the wisdom of discrimination or equanimity
this is the kind of wisdom that can help of see into the true nature of been in vain that it that this is made up of that and that there is no separation between this and that with good practice the delusion of as can be transformed in the wisdom of equanimity or and
called
i think whether the things that that's hardest for us is
ah
the wonder the oneness of this that
the oneness of subject
conflict is the hardest thing for us to
to actually take over

ah
yes i remember taking know how are in okay walk very slowly always yes the and i remember her saying i can do this because of all of you doing everything else yeah well yes so neo is emphasized
is there gun
ah
whatever whatever darfur there is
don't your thing
whatever kind
i like this book is made up of all the things that and universe that are not just book so that all the things in the universe
good that petersburg so this book is made up of non-work things
so
and he will say well what i'm working this way to whole universe is watching this way with me as miss yes
look you in chambersburg not real slow but
and he can very young
a reasonable pace he was always in his step without being self conscious
without being self conscious
need hearing aids i loved by her an canada
are you haven't been to
the
damn thing is already he just sit down stand up and all very net will become a natural
ah
without any so consciousness but of the conscious change vital conscious without feeling self-conscious
yeah that's
and you can just feel that he was
integrating with his surroundings integrating with the surroundings on the time

so there's not much you go
how much you go
so he wasn't really never did anything really for himself
he checked the german show bidding down the best way
well take care of himself was taken care of others and take care of others just taking care of job so on peace

so soto said you know based on
taking care of everything very carefully that that's what it's about i that's what the basis of soto zen is taken care of things very carefully that's why when we have so much for well in december
yeah a lot of formality in zendo and as other
a ritual like activity
but it's up to help us make being aware and conscious of everything that we're going at this time and to
come that see space over and as as an object over against start serve as a subject
so people get tired of this and they said well because artigo wants to do something
were restless people there's something about us that we need to keep moving forward of course that's the nature everything we've just everything needs to keep moving forward
and when you
organize your some in certain ways it feels like restriction
but when you learn how to expand yourself into the situation to that's country them
that's what we learned freedom through restriction
we learn how to be free within restriction and that's the thousands one of the aspects of certain and is to find the greatest freedom given the dentist restriction
when you can find that great freedom within the restriction of the senate pass away
you have you really feel free
but it's not easy because
we're always up
finally year but had i will try to remember finding it
until it until you learn how to fight anymore
killer no often are so check that you were going to authorize them so
i think i'm just offering a great alternative are so completely to leave anything out him

so
i'm glad
to i a little further know that time
the next time
ha
you know i am the have fun
anybody is interested in people are interested enough and that people are to what i continue this after practice pertinent
well we can't see of the and they can every everyday continued
he doesn't have to be lot of people some people want to continue and you can do that
am

the next time i want to talk about them
section twenty five
which will be structure about my name is now the this consciousness
yeah this
instead of book is more interesting as you go on
actually
the first prize of a
get joy and censorship
especially when you get to the first search on com
we just got the nature of reality
so anyway this is called the gardener section twenty five the start
