Okay. Julia. Needs right. Just in time. Helen. Julia. Helen. LeColin. Michael. Maureen. Maureen. Maureen. Maureen. Maureen. Maureen. Okay, we're now going to be playing the next fine bop. Just go. Just go. Just go. Just go. Yeah. What's happening? It's so amazing. It's so amazing. It's so amazing. It's so amazing. It's so amazing. A bit over half an hour ago. A bad coughing fit. It's so amazing. It's easy. It's amazing. A bit over half an hour ago. And a bad coughing fit. I had a bad coughing fit. And the cough, damn useless. But what it stirs up inside. And the cancer stirs all that up and the pain's terrific.

In a bad way. Came in here and sat down and as you all arrived, it settled down. And it's quite okay again now. You've got to remember from that what comes into this room, the energy. The energy that's brought into this room by each and every one of you. If every one of you were in a bad way, that'd be a terrible thing because we'd all, anyway. But some are feeling quite happy and well and others can take it on. And we can all settle down into the natural state. That life essence. The space-like awareness in which everything patterns, shapes and forms and appears in its unicity there can't be any problems at all.

But when singular, we take it on as a singularity, a separation. It'll be like it was here. A lot of pain and misery. And that's what goes on with a lot of us. We take ourselves to be this separate entity. this individual, this person. And we've got the concepts about this person. Some of us think we're pretty good. Some of us are not so good. We've all got different concepts about ourselves and not only ourselves. But the world is as it appears around us. And what do the ancients point out? They point out there's only one essence. Only one life. One intelligence energy. One being.

Only that. And everything is that. And get the taste of that. And how are you going to continue to be miserable, fearful, or anxious, or unhappy? Take a look at life. Not only in this room, but outside. And she is functioning quite alright. Though it can appear, and it must, and can only appear, as its opposite. If there was no opposites, what could you express it to, or what, or about? If there wasn't me, how could there be you? or anything other. Or anything other. And so, in its absoluteness, it doesn't know itself. it just is. Pure being. And to express, and know itself, in all these, pattern, shapes, and forms, and the great variety, which it does express, it needs to vibrate.

and in that vibration, it forms patterns, shapes, and forms. And each pattern, shape, and form is a unique expression of the one. Improving, improving the great intelligence of it all, that it can, express, in all this variety, in all this diversity. When this pattern here, learnt words, and identified itself, or what my parents had pointed out, that I was this person, I was Bob, the individual. It was taken on board, without question. Because they didn't tell me, to question it. And I went to school, and nobody at school, told me to question it. Each one reinforced, the belief, that we're all, in it. I was just separate, the being.

A separatity, a person, an individual. And, all came about, with the learning of words. For the first couple of years, of this life, which I can't say, anything about, because, I had no words for it. I couldn't say, I was born, or I did this, or did that, or anything about it at all. Until words, came about. People could tell me, what I did. Parents, could tell me, what I did, and what happened, and all the rest of it. But of this self, I couldn't say anything. And then, fussing around me, they were repeating words, talking to themselves, and putting words at, this pattern. I picked up on the words.

And continue, to believe in the words, because nobody pointed me out, any different. And I went to school, and all the school kids around me, and everybody else, in words, all believing I was separate. And then, in that sense of separation, they became like, dislike, like to some of the other kids, some I didn't. All sorts of, states, different patterns, shaped and formed. And take on, a lot of the beliefs, that were there, and a lot was happening here, how it felt, and what it was like. And this conceptual image I had, continued to grow. It took me deeper, and, the belief, that I was this person.

And if things weren't going away, I thought it should. Thought about, the feelings, and the emotion, through the thoughts that came up. And so there was anger, there was anxiety, there was depression, guilt, shame, remorse, jealousy, envy, all these things going on. Adding to this pattern, sometimes it was good, sometimes it was terrible. But the more and more concepts, were taken, upon, the less and less, there was a settling in, to the immediacy, the silence, the stillness, that, in which the joyousness, and sense of well-being, arose, and expressed. There were periods of it, when everything was happy, but they didn't last, for very long. And this, went down the road, like a lot of people do, into the deepest, deepest, states, of anxiety, guilt, shame, remorse, and fear, psychological suffering.

And addictions, and other things, coming up. All, with the idea, of becoming, better. Not realising, I was looking, in the wrong direction. Trying to become something, instead of, recognising, which I did in later stages, when I turned around, and started to look, along the lines, of others, that were expressing it. But it wasn't separate at all. It was the one, essence, patterning, shaping, forming, experience, expressing, as everything. And it was all, taking place, in that space, emptiness, which they call, the space-like awareness. Awareness, which is like space. Space is no thing. here, in this room now. And, every so-called thing, which is you, me, and the, curtains, the blinds, the windows, the room itself, the lights, are all the content, of that space.

But like the things, were taking place, in my mind, when these, thoughts were going on, there was a lot, of separation, there was a lot, of anxiety, a lot of fear. But space, if you like to notice it, it is not moving. It doesn't have, any beginning. It's not, expressing, or doing everything. It's clear, silent, still, and empty. No beginning, no ending, no centre, no circumference, no point, anywhere, can you give it, any shape, or form. But all the things, in it, including, this pattern, and every other pattern, the trees, the flowers, the insects, the birds, were all the content, of the space. Was the space, corrupted, or contaminated, by any of it?

Have a look at it, look out the window, look around, in this room, look between, these patterns, that are in it, see, see, that space, is untouched. It's clear, it's still, it's silent, it's empty. It is, really, no thing. thing. And I mean, by that thing, it hasn't got, any pattern, shape, or form. And everything, appears, in space. But the space, is no thing. Now, is the appearance, the thing? The appearance, is not it. Appearance is the thing, the shape and form, that appears. But the shape and form, and the patterns, are not real. They appear to be so. They are transient. They're changing. Every pattern, shape and form, in this manifestation, is changing.

There is nothing static, about any of it. But the basic space, of phenomena, and that's how they, tout point it, as the basic space, the base of all phenomena, is that space, which is, no thing. And everything, appears, in it, or on it, or around it, or about it. Can't be around it, or about it. Because it is a content. It's all contained, in that space. And there's nothing, you can think of, or postulate, that can be outside, of that space. So the things, that are appearing in it, which are not the space, but they appear, in the space, and they couldn't appear, without space.

So the very essence, of them, or the life of them, that means you, me, and everything else, must be that space. That space, like intelligence, energy, or awareness. That each, and everything is. And how it appears, is what they call, a phenomena, manifestation. The definition, of phenomena, is that which appears to be. It's all manifest, it's all there, in front of you, the people, that are around you, and everything like that, and the things, that are around you, all appear to be real, but, without the space, what could they appear in? and can you, separate, any of the things, that are in space, from that space?

because when that, vibration, or life, that's in all these things, disappears, and it all drops back, into the space again, as you know, so, when this fat, in the body, dies, and, you know what death is, you see it all around you, it's the cessation, of life, that ceases, and when these bodies, cease, they're put into a box, and buried, or, put in a fire, and burnt, and as they say, in the scriptures, ashes to ashes, dust to dust, and those ashes, do dissolve, into dust, and the body, rots down, and dissolves, the dust, and the dust, dissolves into space, where else, can it go?

We talk about, reincarnation, and all births, and got this idea, that this pattern, can go on, and continue, and it's never been, anything other, than an appearance, like the movie, the movie appears, on the screen, all sorts, of activities, going on, the movie's been made, of course, but, it's using the same thing, to see that the pattern, shapes, and forms, that is appearing, and, the basic screen, that screen, is not touched, or corrupted, by the movies, and a movie, can be violent, or peaceful, or loving, all things at all, can happen on it, but the movie, is not contaminated, the screen, is not contaminated, or corrupted, by any of it, and it's available, for more, movies, to appear in it, and the movies, can have, happy endings, or bad endings, what difference, to us may, when it's realised, that it was only, an appearance, and you can lock, into the drama, or the thing, and feel, sorrow, or unhappiness, or pain, for a little while, and after a while, it's remembered, it's only a movie, and it settles down, and put in the memories, if it was a good movie, or a bad movie, or it stirred up, the feelings, or emotions here, not realising, this life we're living, we are the actors, the patterns, shapes and forms, that are playing, these roles, which, the life, energy, or the intelligence, formulates, in its vibration, and the way it functions, and patterns, and a seemingly solid, substantial, real, until it's investigated, until it's looked into, and they say, and the way they tell you, to look into it, and find it, that the false, cannot stand up, to investigation, how often, do we look into it, realise we go along, with life, looking in the mind, think that we're going, to change it, make it better, or improve on it, or, revenge, about this, or, do something about that, and all the rest of it, all these concepts come up, all try, to become, something, and we learnt a lot of words, and we weren't born, with any words, and one of the words, we learnt is, becoming, something, we think, we can become, something, but what does that mean, when you look into it, it implies, a future time, it's not happening, right now, but if I do this, and remember this, it will become, something, and there is, this idea, this concept, of time, going on, past, present, future, and it's, that's seemingly, believed to be real too, I, did this, in such a, sort of time, and, I remember it, and think, it's happening, but can you go back, and live in the past, again, and you realise, you can't go back, and live it, you can recall, some of it, you can't recall, all of it, but what's recalling, when's it happening, you were thinking, about yesterday, when you think about it, you're thinking about it, right now, oh, it can be, something, about what we call, the future, we anticipate, what we're likely, to do in the future, anticipate, and imagine, so past, is dead, and gone, it only can be recalled, can't be lived, again, and if you have a look, at that, can you recall, everything you did, yesterday, you can't, the certain parts, that happened, and they're gone, and they're good, for good, gone for good, and these, what you're recalling, today, you might be able, to call in, a couple of months time, that'll be gone also, so whatever, the past, there ever seemingly was, can only be, recognised, right now, the future, what you're anticipating, and imagining, what's that anticipation, and imagine, when is that happening, it's happening right now, about, a presumed, future, and when it comes, to the future, it might have happened, like that, or it may not have, that something, will be going on, in the future, and that will be, like the past, it will be happening, presently, and they call it, presence awareness, this, immediate, spontaneous, presence, and break that down, to pre-sense, before the sensations, come up, as fear, anxiety, depression, love, hate, or whatever, they come in, just be with this, spontaneous, presence, what is wrong, with right now, if you're not, thinking about it, you're not putting a concept, on it, an image, on it, about what you'll do, or what you might do, or what you did, or trying to undo, or whatever, what you've done, now you don't have to look at it, enough very much, to realise, that there is only this presence, awareness, and, the other way, they put it, to, is non-conceptual, ever fresh, presence, awareness, what have we been doing, up till now, we've been conceptualising, this presence, awareness, all sorts of concepts, on this, or that, or this will happen, or that will happen, all sorts of concepts, words, and it might, and it might not, and it goes on, and the conceptualising, goes on, and with the concepts, which are nothing, but mental constructs, constructs, all sorts of patterns, shapes, and forms, appear, as they are conceptualised, and it becomes back, to the same old habit, past, future, patterning, shaping, and forming, thinking, feeling, emotion, thought, feeling, emotion, getting locked, into the words, and they point out again, in the beginning, was the word, and when you look at that, you see, when did you begin, you yourself, didn't begin to, that word, yet you were born, a couple of years, before that, you can't remember it, because you had no words, you couldn't say it, I was born, so what about this, nature, this life, they said, the world, or the cosmos, had a beginning, and when they say, in the beginning, was the word, you realise, instead of saying, realise what it really means, it begins, it begins, with the word, like it begins here, with the word, this whole manifestation, the word was with God, they put the label God on it, and God is another word, they put a word, on the word, trying to, make one word, better than the other, all things, were made, by him, by the word, and that's true, that's true, anything in this room, we haven't got a word, and there was nothing, made, that was made, without the word, and it goes on, to say, the word was made flesh, in other words, these pattern, shapes and forms, these bodies, were broken down, into the flesh, bones and patterns, that they are, and dwelt among us, nothing, but the word, what is the word, what is the word, take the word, water, can you drink it, it remains water, the thing we drink, but can you drink the word, can you swim in it, can you drown it, can you wash in it, and you realize, you can't do anything, at all with the word, the word fire, can you cook with it, burn yourself, heat yourself, can't, lots of other words, can you do things with them, you can't, what's this word, I or me, which we believe, that this is what I am, I am is a word, and what is this, I am representing, we think it, it is this pattern, shape and form, this person, this is what I am is, but it's not that at all, I am, is the sense of presence, which we recognize, that I am, that presence awareness, and then put the label, that the parents tell me, on it, becomes I am Bob, or I am Jane, or I am this, or I am that, we put some label, and some belief into it, what we think it is, not realizing, it's just a word, that needs, something to express through, just the same, as all this manifestation, that appears, in its absoluteness, and it is absolute, if it's non-dual, if it's one without a second, and if it's absolute, if it's total, what can be added, to the totality, or the perfection, can you add anything, to the perfect, or the absolute, it wouldn't have been absolute, if anything could be added, can you take anything, away from it, it wouldn't have been absolute, if you can take anything, away from it, so when we talk about, absolute, and perfection, realize, everything is that, and that's what the angels, tell us, that is all there is, that's the great mantra, I am that, and we know that, because we say, that's the chair, that's the carpet, that's the tree, that's the flower, that's the world, that's this, that, everything is that, which we put other words on, which discriminated, from the previous one, seeing everything, as that, now we discriminate it, into separate pattern, shapes and forms, no matter whatever pattern, shape and form, the expression is that, it's still only that, so if you recognize, that everything is that, and you are that, I am that, then what are you going to think, about the other, if you recognize, that other, is the same, that, that I am, and if it's the same, am that, that I am, and it's that absolute, what would I want, is it superior to me, or is it inferior to me, and what would I want from it, and all this hassle, that's going on in the world, because I, believing I'm separate, and feeling, because of that sense, of separation, being insecure, being vulnerable, being unhappy, and fearful, because it's not, sure of what's going on, it reckons, it is the absolute, there's nothing superior, or inferior to it, and doesn't need, or want, anything from, anything else, because, it's already that, and if there's, an opening to that, and let it express, as it's naturally doing, if I look out there, in what we call nature, nature, meaning, the natural, the natural state, the way that nature, itself is functioning, realize, the earth is rolling, around the sun, the seasons, are coming and going, tides are coming, in and out, stars, and planets, are forming, imploding, exploding, thoughts are coming, thoughts are going, bodies are appearing, bodies are disappearing, realize, that the pattern, shapes and forms, all expressions, all thatness, that's expressing, and there is nothing, no thing, that is separate, and apart from that, well, instead of living, in fear, isolation, anxiety, guilt, depression, and unhappiness, why not, recognize, see, recognize and see, if it's true or not, if that is all there is, and a little bit of investigation, and seeing through things, you'll recognize, I'm a little bit more, than this body, mind, identity, am I the body, well, I say my body, and that itself implies, there's something, that has this body, who's this me, or I, that I'm talking about, am I this mind, say my mind, investigate, is there an I, that there's this body, I don't say I body, or I mind, I can say I mind, in one part, when there is no minding, by this body, investigate, this body, is made up of elements, through science, and all the rest, we've learned, that it's been acquired, by these patterns, down through the ages, we realize, that this body, is made up of elements, the elements are, air, fire, water, space, the elements, take the air, out of your body, wouldn't be a body, for much longer, would it, take the water, out of it, after a few days, there's a bit thirst, you wouldn't be the body again, take the fire, the heat, the body temperature, you get hypothermia, and die, separate yourself, from those elements, and there be no such thing, as a body there, and those, even those elements, could be broken down, further into subatomic particles, into pure energy, so from that, would you recognize, that this body, is nothing but a vibrating, pattern of energy, and look out there, in nature, and see, you go down, to the ocean, you'll see, what you believe, to be a blue sea, now the ocean, or sea, is nothing but water, elements, and it appears, to be blue, if you can get, a bucket of blue water, out of the ocean, come back and show, bring it to me, and show it to me, you see, though it appears, to be blue, it is not blue, you go outside, the clear day, no clouds in the sky, but a beautiful, blue sky, there's a canopy, over what we call, sky, which is nothing, but space, space, is in this room, where's the blueness, go outside, if you're in space, where's the blueness, you'll see, the blueness, is always further out, go up in a plane, as high as you can, you think, you're going to fly, into blueness, you know, you're silent, because you're investigating, so you see, though it appears, to be so, it's not so, the water in the mirror, it's, you can be taken in, you're driving along, somewhere in the distance, it appears to be, a pool of water, in the mirror, when you drive up to, there's no water there, there never was, and there are many, other metaphors, which you investigate, and see, that they point out, one of they used, is the snake, in the rope, fellow steps out, of his cabin, on a dark night, and stands on, a wet piece of rope, and it rolls, under his feet, and he immediately, thinks he's, trod on a serpent, a snake, and the immediate, fear comes up, in him, the stirring up, of the body element, and he can feel, the serpent's bite, and all sorts of fear, and panic, comes up at him, somebody comes out, the back cabin, and shines a torch, look it's only, a piece of wet rope, well they're seeing it, and recognise, an immediate sense of relief, but the fear, and the temper, what's been stirred up, in the feelings, the body, don't die down immediately, they take a little bit, of time to settle, so when we get into, all these, bad feelings, of fear, anger, anxiety, and we think, we get over it, it takes a long time, to settle down again, and before it settles down, probably something else, has been stirred up, that adds to it, and keeps adding to it, until, there's not much time, when we, settle down, into the peace, silence, and stillness, that we already are, because it keeps, coming up, in what we recognise, and see, and take to be, unreal, take it to be real, what seemingly, what is actually unreal, taking it to be real, how it appears to be, and you'll hear some words, somebody will say to you, and take it as an affront, or somebody is, putting some, their concept on you, and you think, they're calling, and believing, that you are that, and you'll get angry, with them, or angry, or fearful, or depressed, and guilty about it, all because we take on, these concepts, or words, what if I ask the question, what is wrong, with right now, at this moment, if I don't think about it, I would have stopped, I would have stopped, I would have stopped, for a second or two here, and there was a recognition, a clear recognition, there, if there was no thought, or word there, everything was just, as it is, and you realise, in that seeing, without the concept, or word, you haven't stopped seeing, haven't stopped hearing, haven't stopped breathing, or heartbearing, the functioning is going on, but no concepts, have been coming up, to put the name, and form on, that's which is, and Shakespeare, tells us that also, and he says, there's nothing, either good, or bad, but thinking, makes it so, so we've got, this concept of thinking, and it can be very useful, there are a lot of, thoughts come about, that helped us invent, or make up, a lot of machines, or other things, and words, we learnt many things, but there are a lot of, crappy thoughts, come up too, and made us believe, in other things, heaven and hell, past and future lives, all ideas, and concepts, and image, about, what will happen to you, if I don't, become something, and being, can never be, becoming, timeless, it changes, by itself, and, each and every one, of you sit there, haven't got the same body, had, three or four years ago, or last week even, if you look at it close, and, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, and, that, that, you, to,, that,ivo,, that,ivo, that, changed changed from the time you look I'm getting what to say I am then to say I am right now it's the same life the same words we put on it's not the same pattern of energy we're putting on that's changed I realize that all these patterns shapes and forms are transient they are not static the only static thing there is the only real is the base in which all appears and you find a beginning to space have a look have a think about it I tell you that the world began with a big bang thousands of years ago well where did that thousand years now and where's the big bang what would it have been in and it have to be in space wouldn't it there's nothing you can postulate there to be outside of space so the space is what has never changed has no boundaries no beginning and it contains everything and it also contains the no thing in which the everything it says and the no thing and everything at two ends to the one sixth two sides of the one coin being knowing loving to be sat shit and and existence consciousness awareness of being is all different ways of putting the same thing anyone who is not unaware right now are you unaware right you're not unaware so you must be aware how many are reconvenizing how many you try and grasp that awareness can you and we've got the word of the label it is no thing that can be grasped but there is a knowing that there is this life or beingness or awareness or something something which is really no thing that's patterning shaping and forming everything and it is that one essence space like awareness where things appear in play around and disappear they tell you that in the text too Shiva Shakti Shiva the God or the static aspect Shakti his consort the female aspect of the queen Shakti dances Shakti is the vibration of energy that vibrates into all this world and everything in it there it is Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden paradise everything is going well for them what happened they ate the tree of knowledge of the You are not in the good and evil in the good and evil and the good and evil Shakti is the vibration of energy that vibrates into all this world and everything in it.

There it is. Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Paradise. Everything is going well for them. What happened? They ate the tree of knowledge of good and evil. People talk about the apple, but never mind the apple. That's the tree of knowledge of good and evil. What's that? That means they learnt words. And in learning words, they're cast out of it. We're back into this everyday function of what we are when we believe in these words. Recognise that the word is not the thing. Settle back into it. Be that life. realise that life is ever fresh, ever new, natural and spontaneously and see what happens.

and this crowd here, you wouldn't be here if you hadn't looked into this stuff. And some of you have got a good understanding and good knowledge of it. Well, don't hesitate to put it out there so that others can hear it. and you look back and you look back and the scriptures and all of it and you'll see if it hadn't have been passed down from others right up till now, how could we even talk about it? We'd be stuck completely in the conceptualisation. It'll be worse than what it is today and it's bad enough now with all the fighting and angst and everything that's going on.

Termile that's going on. What happens when you settle down to leave in life? Have a look at the earth, as I say, the natural. It has problems, what's seemingly problems to it? It can be tempests or storms. It can be peace. There can be floods, phantoms and droughts. There can be pestilence, all sorts of diseases. Everything seemingly occurs in this manifestation. But does the space change? Is it corrupted or contaminated by anything that appears? It doesn't. It can't be. So, you know, if you're looking for a hiding place, somewhere to go where you're going to get rid of it, settle back into your natural state and see that nothing can affect you in that recognisation.

even if this pattern breaks down, which it will do. Well, it is now it's just another fetter, another bondage. We're in the body. Getting rid of that and you realise it goes back into the space again. You're free of all the fetters, all the bondage bondage. And enjoy it now as it's appearing, as it's expressing. and recognise that you are that. That is all I can ever be is that. That innate intelligence in it, that life. And there is no body and I mean that, that lives a life. It's not your body. It is the life that's expressing through the body. And it's the life that is using the body.

It's the life that's expressing as the mind. And it is the life that is utilised in life. All appearance, all seemingly so. But no thing, the basic space can be added to it, taken away from it. The no thing is the everything. And the everything is the no thing. And you are that. Thank you. also, the work. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

And I can do what I can do. it went a bit long today no it's perfect certainly looking better now than what you were when you came down those stairs yeah amazing I didn't think I'd be able to say anything no no no and we have 20 plus people watching with us so welcome everyone who is online and we have welcome messages little sound issues and that's it really so we invite everyone to contribute to the meeting ask questions share say what moves you what struggles yeah just because Dean is not with us today Jacinta will be assisting with the mic and thank you for that and yeah who would like to start cool thanks something that Bob well all of what Bob says is profound but one thing really stuck out that I just want to build on a little bit which is awareness of being is bliss and that beingness is the life that's throbbing in us every moment and we're so conditioned as Bob was saying earlier in the talk since very young to focus on everything external and we put the name on it and we believe it and we forget our beingness and you know we may go to drugs or sweet food or whatever it is to get that bliss to get that sensation and that that little pulsation of bliss that's coming from our external environment it just keeps us it just keeps us there just is enough for us to continue going forward and then we associate those external things with that source of bliss forgetting that it comes from within and I think that on this kind of journey this seeming journey back to source of oneness as we start to realise that that bliss is our very nature and we don't have to do anything we don't have to strive we don't have to do anything to experience it we are it that's what we're all talking about here today that's why we're here so it's very liberating beautiful thank you here you go have your son me I don't have anything to say I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't I can'tivo I can't I can't I can'tivoivoivoivoivoivoivoivo Thank you.

Yeah, we got you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Bob taught me. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. It's funny. Thank you. It's a little bit. Thank you. Thank you. And I was a lot. says if I attached I'm chaining that's it as soon as I see that as a visual things like on and then sit back in my own freedom so to speak when I say my own freedom just be freer for goodness sake rather than holding on to all those but that was basically coming from Bob in the beginning saying well you're resisting you tell me about yourself I do but you're resisting so resisting was holding me to all the old stories the old suffering or whatever was going on you know so now I at least can live in a lot more freedom I'll use the word freedom because it's something I can't explain space whatever but because I can live there more it was that tiny catch of the habit that came up bit by bit by bit that I couldn't see but now I know exactly where you go with it thank you thank you yeah just to build on everything that's been said here as well as like I had this thought well when you go to the gym and you train with weights it's called resistance training and it makes you stronger and it's good for you and but you can also if you're in the middle of like a heavy set you kind of need to surrender to that resistance as well and you need to kind of surrender to that pain to to push forward if you start thinking oh I don't like this I don't like it you'll stop so you see that it's all intertwined and it's it's all one and and yeah like when we start to talk about surrender and and and uh overcoming resistance it can be very easy to resist resistance like we've been speaking about so um yeah I just wanted to pop that in and and lately as well what what's been coming through for me um this is kind of another way to conceptualize maybe surrender or non-resistance is like just being one big yes to life and of course that's got its own like uh peculiarities and limitations you know of course sometimes it's saying no to things is not a bad thing but yeah just saying yes to the no yeah exactly right so just that kind of all embracing like um and if you look at people in bhakti or doing worship um you know it's very natural to kind of put your arms open and and there's a sign of that it's that heartfelt posture opening up to life so kind of being that yes to life um that's yeah kind of everything that we're talking about yeah yeah beautiful okay so we have a couple of thank you messages from a real extra resistance to the individual the ego resistance is a thought and peter and tanya and a few others so thank you and thank you everyone and much love and think about a very fact that's the needy so thank you my time for the needy so
