so i'm talking with peter fenner
0:03
here in Vancouver and this is part 2 of our conversation
0:08
there's nothing we need to do so why bother
0:11
about what ?
anything
I don't really understand the question
0:18
because in this moment there's nothing for us to worry about
0:23
so what we're doing is we are discovering
0:26
a state of consciousness within which
0:31
its actually impossible to create problems
0:35
that's what's happening
there are lots of different layers or levels of
0:40
consciousness
0:41
when we're identified with highly conditioned states of consciousness
0:46
then we were relating to what's happening in terms of
0:50
attachment and aversion
I want this to happen, it's fantastic, I want it to continue
0:55
or pushing things away
this is terrible I can't stand this, I want this to
1:00
immediately
1:01
be different
so that's at a cost level of
1:04
consciousness
so what we're doing is we're cultivating
1:08
a more refined or gaining access to more refined states of consciousness
1:14
in which when we open into an
1:17
unconditioned state of consciousness
we can't
1:20
create a problem, it's impossible to do it
we can't
1:25
deploy energy in making things right or wrong
1:29
and in a way that's the definition of non-dual awareness
1:33
it's going beyond the capacity
1:37
3:13
its identity but it's even more radical than that
3:16
because in the non-dual traditions
3:19
we look at
we don't just asume
3:23
that because we think that we exist
3:27
that we do exist
we don't asume that
3:30
because we think
me I
3:33
mine you yours
thousands and thousands of times a day
3:38
that there is an I
that there is a me
3:41
so one of the techniques going back to your
3:46
your earlier question is looking at
3:49
the question of Who am I
A traditional
3:53
form of inquiry that we find not only in
3:56
buddhist non-dualism but in Hindu non-dualism as well
4:00
so we look at who is the experiencer of
4:05
everything that's being experienced
who is the
4:08
thinker
who is the feeler and if we look at that
4:12
it's interesting a thing happens
4:15
that we cannot find ourselves
4:18
If I try to find who is talking to you at the moment
4:22
certainly there are words, there's an awareness of words
4:25
If I try to find who is talking
4:28
or who is aware
4:32
right,
of what's happening here in this moment
4:35
I can't find myself
4:39
It's like I open up in a way
4:42
6:17
states of natural meditation
that's when meditation
6:21
is happening not as a project, not as something that we're
6:25
doing, but is just arising as a natural
6:29
occurence with a sense of openess
6:32
deep serenity, bliss, so that's
6:35
natural meditation that emerges
6:38
when in a way we let go of trying to get somewhere
6:43
so we're not longer involved in that project
6:46
of thinking that things aren't efficient
that things need to be different
6:50
and there's something that we need to do
so in a way
6:54
what we do in radiant mind is we dismantle the path
7:00
sounds strange, but we dismantle the path
7:03
which allows us to be at the fruition of the path
7:07
when we dismantle the path then
7:10
actually, we can't say where we are
we don't need to say
7:14
where we are, one thing we can say is that
7:17
there's no way further to go
that we're no longer on the path
7:22
so you could say we've arrived at the completion of the path
7:25
because it's impossible to take another step
7:31
If we think: can I make this better, can I improve on this in some way
7:37
just does not make sense, it's impossible
7:40
that thought just doesn't have any
7:43
traction, you know, how can we make this better
7:47
how can we enhance this, can we diminished this
7:50
no we can't, and there, that signals that we
7:55
are in that state of non-dual awareness
8:02
thank you
