00:00:00.060 --> 00:00:03.809
I believe that the real journey
of the contemplative

2
00:00:03.876 --> 00:00:05.969
or the transformational,
the spiritual journey,

3
00:00:06.509 --> 00:00:09.869
in whatever path we do it,
by whatever religious root:

4
00:00:10.230 --> 00:00:13.309
Buddhist, Christian,
Jewish, Sufi, you name it.

5
00:00:13.740 --> 00:00:17.280
It takes us from
preoccupation with self,

6
00:00:17.730 --> 00:00:24.779
that kind of narrow introverted way,
to a capacity to see and perceive

7
00:00:24.846 --> 00:00:27.140
and feel as part of a universal whole.

8
00:00:27.780 --> 00:00:30.330
And to ask your
"normal" kind of person

9
00:00:30.396 --> 00:00:31.979
who's neurotic,
preoccupied,

10
00:00:32.046 --> 00:00:36.899
called in their story,
stressed out, to perform

11
00:00:36.966 --> 00:00:40.950
out of a compassionate oneness
for humanity is about the same as

12
00:00:41.016 --> 00:00:46.259
asking your old underwood
typewriter to run the Internet.

13
00:00:46.380 --> 00:00:50.539
It can't do it!
The wiring isn't there yet.

14
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:56.370
That shift is not as mysterious
as it's made out to be.

15
00:00:56.436 --> 00:00:58.979
It's not like abracadabra and
sometimes I see.

16
00:00:59.939 --> 00:01:04.019
But this patient practice through
surrender and free attention,

17
00:01:04.500 --> 00:01:11.520
of rewiring not just as attitudes,
but in the brain heart circuitry.

18
00:01:11.586 --> 00:01:15.840
When we become ready, when we
gather enough of that collected

19
00:01:16.230 --> 00:01:21.509
reservoir of attention,
that allows you to move out of

20
00:01:21.576 --> 00:01:24.179
your operating system,
your little mental operating

21
00:01:24.246 --> 00:01:27.870
system that sees you as
separate and disconnected

22
00:01:27.936 --> 00:01:32.760
and on a journey and very special,
it allows you to move out of that

23
00:01:33.209 --> 00:01:38.209
into with that vast perceptive
field of the heart,

24
00:01:38.969 --> 00:01:42.539
absolutely seeing plain as the
nose on your face:

25
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:46.429
the connectedness of
all of humanity.

26
00:01:46.500 --> 00:01:49.469
And to feel in that connection
the life blood of

27
00:01:49.536 --> 00:01:51.599
compassion and forgiveness.

28
00:01:51.666 --> 00:01:54.150
When our heart becomes
surrendered enough and

29
00:01:54.216 --> 00:01:59.009
our attention becomes stable enough,
then we've essentially plugged

30
00:01:59.076 --> 00:02:04.829
the energy leaks and are able
in a very very deep way to run

31
00:02:04.896 --> 00:02:09.240
this other program of heart seeing
which sees from oneness.
