Awakening Together, Relaxing into Happiness with William Cooper, Master of Theology, Licensed Professional Counselor

This is a recording of a Live Q & A which has been edited for clarity, length, and helpfulness. We discussed that in the Awakening process there is only flow and tension. To the degree I am tense in any way I am blocking my innate and eternal Light which is flow.  Light, flow, and tension.  I described my process here and more deeply in all of these podcasts.  Since each podcast builds on those before, it is most powerful to start at 1 and work forward. Another asked if dissolving pain in meditation might reveal deeper pain.  Jesus appearing to me.  Most religions attempt to express the same truth but use different words and concepts.  And is listening to music while practicing the Awakening meditation ok? Best to not meditate at night? How to release tension and pain in real time as we go through our day so that we aren't repressing it. Etc.

This is a recording of a Live Q & A which has been edited for clarity, length, and helpfulness.  Participants heartfelt questions and experiences guided our discussion.  We discuss how to release our blocks and let them melt, stopping hurting ourselves, the importance of "getting out of the pounding surf" as a basic step in our path of awakening, some grief is from biological separation as well as past and present obstacles.  Another noticed that he absorbed depression sitting next to a depressed man, etc.

To a seeker, Ramana said, "Before you ask out 'your life', find out who 'You' are."  Good advice.  In this podcast we place our attention on what we are.  What is always here and remains when everything goes?  We place our attention on Awareness or our "Buddha nature".  It is like a rainbow and is experienced beyond creation as a full nothing and, in creation, as Light, Love, Peace, Happiness, Joy, etc.  We place our attention on Awareness so that we can experience our Selves rather than just understand our Selves.  We talk about why some experience them Selves as Peace while others as Love, or Joy or Happiness or All.  Though not the focus, we talk briefly about how to release what distracts and blocks us and why.  We also note that much more information on releasing and the whole process of awakening is available for free on this platform.  All podcasts stand on their own yet each rests on those before.  Best to start at number 1 and move forward unless you find a title compelling now.

There can be no ultimate joy living a life that is false and deluded.  Therefore, let's see clearly what we are not.  Knowing what we are not, we can, also, more easily experience what we are.  Let's let go of what we are not and enjoy the radiant Peace, Love and Joy of who we are.  From contemplation 2 on my website, www.williamecooper.wordpress.com

Meditation, exercise, nutrition, yoga, psychotherapy, energy work, philosophy, etc all can be important in our awakening process.  Yet seeing clearly can melt the delusions that may be causing much of our problems.  When I see that the deadly cobra in my room is actually only a rope all of my issues regarding that "deadly" event melt away quickly.  No psychotropic drugs or psychotherapy needed for my previous dread and anxiety.  No meditation, no philosophy, nothing is needed.  All done.  While all of the above can be vital at different times, "To See Is To Be Free."
