Lecture on Completion Process and Samskaras

Introduction

• Key Theme: We are a collection of patterns that we defend and protect, often at the cost of joy, bliss, power, and success.
• Objective: Learning to complete with and overcome these patterns, especially in the context of death.

Patterns and Their Implications

Definition and Sacrifices

• Patterns are behaviors and beliefs we hold sacred.
• We sacrifice significant aspects of our life to protect these patterns.

Influence on Life Choices

• Business deals, career opportunities, and relationships can be lost due to the protection of patterns.

Death and Its Unique Challenge

Feeling Cheated at Death

• Key Insight: The most difficult pain is feeling cheated at the time of death.
• At death, only our patterns can cheat us, not other people like teachers, friends, or spouses.

Stability and Identity

• Instability: The worst pain is instability in our identity.
• Stability in our understanding of self is critical for making decisions about the next life.

Completing Patterns

Importance of Completion

• Objective: To avoid instability at the time of death by completing patterns now.
• Patterns are rearrangeable and completable, akin to building on water.

Moments of Powerlessness

• Examples given: Financial debt, drunkenness, job failures, relationship issues.
• At these moments, our concept of self is most shaken and fragile.

Preparation for Life and Death

• Similarity: Preparation for life and death involves completing unstable and incomplete patterns.
• Both require a clear, stable understanding of oneself.

Practical Process for Completion

Shared Completion

• Method: Use another person’s eyes as a mirror for completing patterns. Describe life moments and relive them through this process, with the listener acting as a blank, non-reactive wall.

Execution

• Speakers share life moments; listeners stay neutral.
• Process involves at least five rounds of sharing and listening.

Importance of Maintaining Confidentiality

• Participants take an oath to respect and not misuse shared personal information.

Benefits of Completion

Breathing and Energy Flow

• Completing patterns can liberate us from suffocating experiences we might not be aware of.

Celebration of Existence

• True Celebration: Celebrating one’s own existence without dependency on others.
