No Experience Can Bring Us Happiness

To find that there is absolutely nothing missing in this moment, means living a life whose reference point comes from deep inside and not from the objects and experiences outside.

No experience can bring us happiness

“The ease of being” does not come from experiences or objects. To find that there is absolutely nothing missing in this moment, means living a life whose reference point comes from deep inside and not from the objects and experiences outside. To be deeply fulfilled, and then live from an expression of that fulfilment, is real happiness. In this video a woman asks Rupert Spira, that after all these years of coming to a retreat, she feels she still wants more. Rupert proceeds to explain the nature of true happiness. Start the day with this lovely video and establish this practice in your life.

Die Before You Die – Guided Meditation

My experience with this meditation has been profound, deeply relaxing and unburdening of everything.

Guided Meditation

This is a profound and deep guided meditation by Bentinho. Don’t be scared, it takes you right up to the point of just dying this lifetime and builds from there. The guided meditation makes you die before you really die, so that you may life a full and rich life. My experience with this meditation has been profound, deeply relaxing and unburdening of everything.

These guided meditations are being sent, so that you practice it. Trust last week people practiced Alan Watts’ guided meditation. This week we could practice this. Do not tense up during meditation, take any relaxed posture and remember to keep your tongue, lower jaw and shoulders relaxed. For this video you may use a good headphone too. The video length is simply 9 min 22 seconds a short time indeed. Happy practising.

There is no psychological evolution

“Time is fear, time is pleasure, time is sorrow. And is love involved in time?”. Jiddu Krishnamurti, points and expects the seeker to examine.

At about 6 minutes into the video Jiddu Krishnamurti takes a pause and then states clearly and precisely – “There is no psychological evolution, at all”. Building to this point in the talk, he discusses two types of time – biological time (as our body grows) and psychological time. Krishnamurti was a unique master, who encouraged us not to just accept or deny anything, but to first listen in a wholesome way and then examine through full attention and with direct experience. My young adult years were filled with reading Krishnamurti and discussing it with @Ananda my childhood friend and co admin on this group. Jiddu ends the video by asking – “Time is fear, time is pleasure, time is sorrow. And is love involved in time?”. He does not give the answer, but points and expects the seeker to examine. I recommend you take some time out and listen to this video, twice if possible. Have a lovely week ahead.

The Secret of Life?

Living and life just happen and is spontaneous and there is no command or control to live.

The Secret of Life

You do not have to keep living. It makes no difference either way. Living and life just happen. Don’t get me wrong, you do not have to kill yourself either; but from the highest perspective, living just happens and is spontaneous and there is no command or control to live. Most of that is a compulsion, just in our own minds. So the only option it comes down to, is to keep a laser focus on the present moment, on the here and now. In this video Alan Watts says “This is the real secret of life, to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now. And instead of calling it work, realise it is play.” Have a lovely day.
