The Mind Stops Here

What about mantras?, Progressive path versus direct path, Resting attention before the first thought of, There is no control, Only Love, God, or Nothing, Why do I have nightmares?, Direct knowing, outside of mind, Why do spiritual practice?, Having no preferences, Freely loving what life has to offer, Reincarnation, Why am I back?, Non-seeking seekers, Why not suicide?

Any path is full of concepts, Mind searches to entertain itself, There's nothing in it for you, Go to that which is before time

Can satsang help solve a problem with overeating?, Learning how to play, Spirituality as a hobby, Can I prepare for my own death?, Is it time for my retirement?, Belief systems are just imaginings for the mind to chew on, Five thousand year old Indian palm leaves, Another way for mind to play

fears are connected to nothing, things work themselves out, right now is enough, practice contentment, be gentle with yourself, there is no free will, intuition is prior to doubting mind, be like little children, play, have fun, life isn’t the obstacle to Truth, thoughts are the obstacle

Mantras, one pointedness, see the desire for it to be different, don’t be bothered by thoughts - nobody is watching them, play the role of mom, surrender and hand over the controller

No preference, 'I-thought', getting there, Shakti inherent in Shiva, creation within what You are, distance outside as separation, thinking that you are moving or experiencing, attention on the Source of all concepts, Alpha/beta waves as echo of what You are, nothing wrong with world or life when nothing seen as special, Shiva-Shakti (Power of God) does not need anyone to do anything

Drop belief in the I story, Gently lay the mind to rest, Managing difficult relationships, The desire to control, What is important?, There are no individuals, Playing social roles as a form of service, Even satsang is play, How does liberation happen?, Should I retire from my job?, Jac's awakening story, Existence itself is an idea, What about creativity?, Wanting to be special, It never was about

the kali yuga age, hindu practices in modern spirituality, energetic power of mantra, no ownership of anger or suffering, There are no individuals, teacher of world religions goes beyond oneness, a role in the world can still be played, dark night of the soul; love is stronger than tortured thoughts, go to where seeing of the observer arises from, the me is implausible

family ties, no ownership between thoughts, desire is the problem, establish the self-love circuit within you, the primary concept before duality is love, seekers who are not seeking, belief in how things have to happen maintains the 'I', fantasy distractions in the head, place attention at rest behind thoughts, dropping 'self-identity' for another identity is not dropping identification, guilt and rewards is conditioning
