Guest guest Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 These are notes and realizations I got while listening to a talk by Gangaji: ------ Freedom is being fully at peace with the worst case scenario. It is facing all the things that you want as though they are that which you won't get and all that you must not experience, as though they are things you are definitely going to experience. The purpose of this being to blow apart all of your addictions to " must haves " and " can't haves " . An exercise: List all the things I hope will someday come to pass, and fully experience the certainty that these things will never happen for me. For example: I will be the one person on earth that will never be enlightened. I will never know love. Pain and fear will always fill my life and hold all of my attention forever. My penis will shirvel up and fall off! LOL All that is good will suffer and die away. Can I feel joy over these? Grab hold of negative reactions and feelings, neither to turn them into a positive pole nor to bury them, but rather to experience the non dual joy that is at the core of these and all things. - Gangaji ------- Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
