Summary

2012-12-29 - (retreat talk) The God Whom I Love is Inside - Our suffering arises from unlived life--the fears and loneliness and hurt that we have been unable to digest and include in our heart. This talk explores our conditioning to become dis-embodied and the blessings of spiritual realization that arise as we inhabit our aliveness fully.

0:00.0	So, good evening and Namaste, and I'd like to start by saying that for those of you
0:10.8	that are new you might have wondered about the bowing and the Namaste-ing, so I thought
0:16.4	maybe I'd say a word which is that the word the Namaste means I see the divine in you,
0:24.3	I see the sacred in you. In the west we greet each other and say, hey, how are you? Are we
0:32.4	show people are empty hand and then shake hands? I'm not carrying a gun, you know, that greeting.
0:38.0	In Asia, it's often Namaste, I see the divine in you, it's just a different flavor in the cultures.
0:45.0	But I was reflecting on it tonight because I just really wanted to bow to all of you.
0:54.3	And there's something that is so, it's such a privilege to be able to be with a group of people
1:02.4	and then witness the process of us paying attention to our own experience and sense in you such,
1:12.2	this the dedication to presence in the groups in the hall. So I feel a sense of thankfulness
1:22.4	and just want to appreciate you. So it's been two full days and I'm always aware of the weather
1:33.5	metaphor that you know we see it going on outside and you probably noticed a lot of different
1:39.8	systems going through inside and noticed perhaps also the difference between when there's some
1:47.7	freedom around what's going on and when you sense it's difficult. And one of the things I really
1:55.6	like about the groups is when we start hearing each other, it's a little less personal, right?
2:02.2	Like let me ask you here, we'll do a little hand race. These are called the five hindrances or the
2:07.4	five major energies that end up contracting us. How many of you have found that wanting
2:17.2	mind has taken over that desire for something more or something different? Yeah, you can look
2:21.8	around right now that the rules are changing. Just take a look. Yeah, good. Okay, how about a
2:28.0	version? I don't like this. I don't want this. Okay, we've got a fair, we've got two hands up here.
2:35.5	All right, let me ask you about sleepiness and I should say who hasn't? Okay,
2:45.2	restlessness. That kind of itchy. Just want to kind of jump out of my skin feeling. Yeah,
