    Eventually you get tired of trying — tired of wanting to know the answers, or how long it’s going to take — and you just kick back. You just open. You wait without waiting. Your deeper presence begins to emerge, and radiate, and become foreground.

    Our fundamental nature is energy. Aliveness. When you stop, when you become generally, comfortably still, you can begin to develop the sensitivity to perceive that energy — that awareness. Everyone perceives it in their own way, but the quality of it is universal.

    “When the veil of the knower drops away, the creative force of discovery guides your way. Each moment is revealed as new. Just as food has flavor, being has resonance, and the resonant being of being here, now, naturally encourages the dropping away of the veil of the knower. So we don’t come here to learn in the normal way we think of learning. We actually come here to unlearn, or to allow a natural getting out of the way to happen. So each and every one of us, in our own unique way, finds out how to be here.” Recorded 1/18/2016 in San Francisco. www.jonbernie.org

    Happiness Podcast: “What is the nature of awakened life? What is the nature of freedom? The simplest description is being. When you’re being, you’re more available as a person. You’re more loving, more understanding, more open. You’re creative; alive! And lighter, not too serious. Just enough. Playful. Curious. Awakened life is about becoming fully, completely actualized as a human being.” Recorded 12/12/2015 in Santa Cruz. www.jonbernie.org

    “Having a map is good up to a certain point, but sooner or later the map ends, and then how do you find your way? As explorers, do we really know where we’re going? At some point we realize we don’t know, and what originally produced anxiety eventually produces freedom as we learn to listen to this realm of not knowing.” www.jonbernie.org  Recorded 1/16/2016 in San Francisco.

    “What will it take to dissolve your mind’s control? Freedom is the absence of the thought called ‘I’. So find the questions that release you, that relax you; that allow opening to happen.” Recorded 1/4/2016 in San Francisco. www.jonbernie.org

    “As human beings, our greatest longing is to be open — to love. Awakening is the key to that, awakening to what you truly are, your pure essence. Find that spark, right now, and let that take you.” Recorded 11/23/2015 in San Francisco.

    “All that’s required to be here is simply to be here; not doing anything, and yet being fully present — awake! — attentive, open and relaxed. Then you might start to sense something — an expansion, an opening, a radiance, a presence — a force, even — within you, around you, moving through you. And you just let that work, because what you’re really learning is how to allow yourself to be fully alive.” Recorded 11/16/2015 in San Francisco.

    “The teaching that happens here is not just verbal. These words those are just suggestions, pointers to a deeper energetic transmission, a shift in perception to realizing that we are everything. That’s not a belief, not just some groovy concept — in that shift you begin truly to align with the fundamental energy of life itself. Ironically, that energy is completely unknowable, and yet we are that, completely.” Recorded 11/14/2015 in Santa Cruz.

    “Everything we experience — thought, feeling, sensation, energy — originates from the source. But what is the source? That primal, alive movement is unknowable, and yet it is what we awaken to. Its movement is like waves; so we learn how to go with the flow.” Recorded 10/26/2015 in San Francisco.

    If it’s not easy, you’re doing it wrong! Struggle is the opposite of surrender. But how do you surrender when the one who wants to surrender is also the one who wants to be in control? What works is dropping yourself — dropping who you think you are. Recorded 10/12/2015 in San Francisco.
