The Depth Dimension - 02.09.12

Excerpt:  "If we can radically let go of the need for the others approval or gaze or touch or their desire - If we can radically detach from our own self-image based on the body or based on the mind - Based on achievements and prestige or social status - If we can let go of all of that, then the real search can finally get under way…  Because those are the anchors that moor us in the physical plane where we cannot find the self…  They moor us in attachments to biological family and we cannot find the spiritual parents that live in the depth dimension…  But the light from that source - from the energy within - from the supreme self - Is always there guiding us and as we begin to disidentify from the physical form and the sensual realm and its pleasures and pains that follow quickly one upon the other…  To realize some, more enduring peace and joy…  And we recognize that the mind itself with all of it thoughts is another form of alienation from our being.  It’s an attempt to grasp the self, that can never be the self, that can only at best point to the self, and so then the process of self-inquiry enters the phase were it goes beyond the mind…  It enters the phase of being the silent witness of the mind…  And it begins to see the patterns of the mind and the traps that the mind plays and all of its illusions; images of a happiness that are a mirage…."  Recorded on the evening of Thursday, February 09, 2012.
