    “So we learn to let go, by sitting, by being available. By resting in awareness. By dropping all the comparisons, and judgments, and expectations, and agendas. How do you do that? It’s impossible, actually; you can’t do it. So you give up trying. Just notice that they’re there, that’s all. The awareness of them is enough. It’s the offering into awareness. It’s not problem-solving time, it’s problem dis-solving time.” Recorded 1/9/2012 in San Francisco.

    “Allow your feeling, sensing, seeing, hearing, to dissolve you into awareness. Allow the dissolving to happen by itself, free of any anticipation or expectation, free of any agenda. Just being fully available, totally available in this moment, allowing openness to simply open into itself.” Recorded 10/17/2011 in San Francisco.

    “The relentless mind craves silence, craves a break, a relief from the endless mental movement. So what is it that you hear in the silence? What is it that’s arising, or present in the space between the thoughts, between the words? Are you intimate with that space? That space which is what you really are?” Recorded 10/10/2011 in San Francisco.

    “What is this journey that we’re on, really? Is it just about awakening, being one with God, the infinite? You hear that a lot: just be presence and that’s it. And there’s truth in that, fundamentally. But really, awakening usually is followed by healing, by transformation and integration.” Recorded 9/26/2011 in San Francisco.

    “The listening that we ask you allow, here, is free of anticipation about what will be heard, or even whether there will be any comprehension or understanding. If you’re weary of spiritual teachings, if they’ve become platitudes, then this is even more an invitation to listen without any idea about what you’re hearing.” Recorded 8/22/2011 in San Francisco.
