Influences: "JUST AS A MUSICIAN SEEKS MUSICAL EXPRESSION, SO THE MUSIC IN THE UNIVERSE SEEKS TO BE EXPRESSED." "A MUSICIAN CARRIES THE MUSIC WITHIN THEM. HE/SHE NEEDS NO SPECIFIC INSTRUMENT. HE/SHE IS THE MUSIC."feeling one as they truly are as you stare into their eyes and send them the very best from the whole of your soul///// intuitive conversation /// helping who you can the best you can for free /// closing our eyes in the center of a forest and listening /// laughing at something that makes no sense //// s /// a great walk at 3 in the morning with friends /// /// cycles of nature /// letting it go ///PAST/PRESENT/FUTURE it seems as if there is an infinite amount of energy in a jet stream around us always and your mind is like a radio..you can change the channel
and possibly tap into the ways of the ancients...YOU CAN BE ANYONE THIS TIME AROUND
" THINK OF A SOLID OBJECT, MASS, AS A PATTERN OF ENERGY, WE KNOW THAT. WE'RE HIP SOPHISTICATED PEOPLE WE KNOW THAT. WE KNOW THAT THOUGH THIS SEEMS SOLID, IT IS IN FACT A PATTERN OF SLOWED DOWN LIGHT. IT JUST SEEMS SOLID TO OUR PARTICULAR SENSE RECEPTORS. NOW IMAGINE IF THIS IS A PATTERN OF ENERGY, THEN LIGHT IS ALSO A PATTERN OF ENERGY, SOUND IS A PATTERN OF ENERGY, THOUGHT IS A PATTERN OF ENERGY. AND WHAT THAT IS ENERGY. AND YOU GET INTO A FINER AND FINER FORM OF ENERGY BECAUSE BEHIND THAT IS ANOTHER ONE AND BEHIND THAT IS ANOTHER ONE...ETC...AND YOU FINALLY GET DOWN TO THE STATE OF ENERGY THAT IS SO FINE. IT IS NO LONGER UNIQUE. THAT IS IF YOU THINK OF AN ATOM AS HAVING ELECTRONS AND NEUTRONS AND SO ON PROTONS. EVEN THE ELECTRON WHICH HAS A UNIQUENESS TO IT IS MADE UP OF SOME OF THE PATERN OF THESE FINER THINGS. THE QUALITY OF THESE FINER THINGS IS THAT THEY ARE EVERYWHERE. ANYTHING YOU CAN LABEL, CALL IT VACUM, CALL IT SPACE, CALL IT ASHTRAY, CALL IT THOUGHT, CALL IT EMOTIONS, CALL IT MARS... ITS ALL MADE OF THIS SAME THING. IF YOU ARE NOW AWARE THAT BEHIND EVERYTHING THERE IS THIS VERY FINE ENERGY AND ITS ALL INTERCHANGABLE AND ITS CONSTANTLY MOVING IN AND OUT OF EVERYTHING. YOU BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE A SOLID, THIS IS SOLID, ITS ALL SOLID. THIS IS MADE OF THAT ENERGY///THAT FLAME IS MADE OF THAT ENERGY///TOMMOROW IS MADE OF THAT ENERGY//YESTERDAY IS MADE OF THAT ENERGY///AND ITS ALL JUST INTERCHANGING, ITS NOT UNIQUE AT ALL..///////////THE NEXT STATEMENT THAT IS WORTHY OF SOME REFLECTION IS//THAT TYPE OF ENERGY WHICH IS THE FINEST FORM OF ENERGY THAT IS. IN THE WORLD OF FORM..THAT VERY FINE FORM OF ENERGY IS AN IDENTITY WITH NOT EQUAL TO BUT AN IDENTITY WITH " CONSCIOUSNESS" NOT SELF CONSCIOUSNESS, BUT CONSCIOUSNESS.. THAT MEANS WHEN YOU EXTRICATE YOURSELF FROM THE TIME SPACE LOCUS OF THIS BODY/THESE THOUGHTS/THIS SET OF SENSES//YOU WHAT YOU CALL ME////////WHAT IS THAT?///THAT IS THAT ENERGY
AND IT IS KNOWN IN SANKRIT AS SATCHI ANUNDA///AND SATCHI ANUNDA MEANS
ABSOLUTE EXISTANCE//ABSOLUTE KNOWLEDGE AND ABSOLUTE BLISS///ITS CALLED FULFILLMENT//ITS CALLED CONTENTMENT ITS CALLED A FEELING OF WELL BEING//ITS CALLED ITS ALRIGHT WITH THE UNIVERSE//ITS CALLED ISNIS//WE GOT LOTS OF NAMES FOR IT//ITS UN NAME-ABLE////ITS A STATE OF BEING///NOTHING TO DO WITH DOING//
ITS AN ETERNAL MOMENT//ITS OUTSIDE OF TIME//THAT PLACE WHICH YOU IDENTIFY WITH YOUR METHOD OF GETTING THERE///SO IF YOUR A SURFER YOU SAY " BABY ALL I WANT TO DO FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE IS SURF "//////AND IF YOUR A SEXUAL GYMNST YOU SAY " ALL I WANT TO DO IS MAKE OUT FOREVER " ////OR WHAT EVER YOUR PARTICULAR TURN ON METHOD IS TO GET YOU TO THAT PLACE/////
AND WHEN YOU SAY " YOU TURN ME ON " OR "THAT SCENE TURNS ME ON"////YOU MEAN IT ALLOWS ME TO TOUCH THAT PLACE AGAIN////BUT THE FUNNY THING IS THAT THE PLACE IS INSIDE OF YOU//THE PLACE IS NOT CONNECTED WITH YOUR METHOD///
WHEN YOU SAY YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE, IT MEANS THAT THEY ARE A STIMULUS WHICH TURNS YOU ON TO THAT PLACE///NOW YOU GOT TO UNDERSTAND THAT
SATCHI ANUNDA MEANS LIVING IN THAT PLACE ALL THE TIME//OKAY//////WHEN I TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT SORT OF STATE MAHARAJ-JI IS IN//I BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND HE IS LIVING IN A STATE OF PERPETUAL TOTAL EXSTATIC-SEXUAL UNION WITH THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE AT EVERY MOMENT////IS THAT ENOUGH??//////THATS KNOWN AS ANUNDA////
YOU GIVE UP KNOWING YOU KNOW TO BE IT ALL/////RAM DASS 1969 LECTURE
