Understanding Meditation and Inner Power

it's very difficult for me when I'm home you know you know the computer's there I should do something on the computer the television maybe I see how the ball game's going very difficult when you're he you commit yourself to a half hour and you're still that's why it's important that you know when you can if you can come you come and and and and and try to subject yourself to that because that's it's it's it's difficult otherwise okay so real meditation is learning to be still as the Bible says Be Still still and know that I am God be still and understand the I am is God that is within you the creative power within you is either good or evil the creative power within you is either God or the devil power itself is totally neutral electrical power here's the lights it's totally neutral it has it will not hurt you it will not do you any good it's just neutral it depends on how you use it you get a good electrician and this is what happens we have air conditioning we have music we can have movies in here at television we have nice lights and all of this is beautiful because whoever used this power knew what they were doing the same power in my hands and in 10 seconds this place would go up in Flames because I don't know how to use it I don't know the the positive from the negative or whatever there'd be a short circuit and I'd burn the place down and and I have done things you know where I got in behind and screwed wires together you know and then smoke comes out and you you all of this kind of stuff because you're fooling with the power the power has nothing the power is not going to hurt anybody or the power is not it's neutral it depends on how you use the power so if what comes out of you is a power it depends is is it good or is it evil is it God or is it the devil it depends on what comes out of you has nothing to do with any guy with a beard sitting on a planet somewhere and if the guy with a beard was sitting on the planet somewhere you know what would what would you what would you what would you think I mean what would you think if if you created all this you've outlined all of this through these speakers you've told people in symbolism you say in the Bible you got a Bible here you say throughout the whole book of the Bible don't take it literally it's allegorical it's Parables numerology do not take it literally it's all symbolism and what do they do they take it literally what are you going to do and then they say they're going to wait for the second coming and the guy that came the first time got killed and he's sitting up there and say I'm not going to go back a second time though people are crazy say crazy people down there and they are crazy people and so now you see the great intervention and this understanding what we have to do is be still see now people give you a lot of techniques on how to meditate but the problem with the techniques of how to meditate is if you are following a technique you are doing something you cannot follow a technique unless you do something and as soon as you start doing something you're not meditating I'm going to do this and I'm going to take three breaths and I'm going to visualize a candle burning in the middle of a you know well you're doing all of this your mind is doing all of that and that's not meditation there's a great book I don't know if you'll be able to find it it's written by a 14th century Catholic monk it's called The Cloud of Unknowing an obscure book written by an obscure man but it's an excellent book about meditation and it takes you to the point where it only works if there is an absolute total consumption on your part into nothingness and that's not that easy from the standpoint of achieving it because if you stop for just 10 15 seconds and let your mind sit you'll see that your mind is like a monkey cage in there things swinging back and forth and chirping and going on all the time because you've never allowed it to be still nobody ever told you even in church and religion they say God is where God is here in my heart but that doesn't mean with the heart the heart means the center it's here that thing which we call God is in the center it's here but we've never paid any attention to it most of us never even knew we had a right hemisphere of the brain most of us never knew we had a pineal gland of the brain never understood these things because the church wouldn't allow us they said that the man up here with the Rob on will save you if you'll just do what you're told get up on your told kneel when you're told sing when you're told put the money in when you're told get out when you're told come back when you're told all this nonsense instead of understanding there is a need for a renewal to happen within each one of us and that renewal comes very very easily if we simply expose ourselves to this power so the Mind cannot be involved look at page 782 in those little Bibles that you have there and look at the Book of Matthew and what does Matthew say what does Jesus Christ say Okay Matthew chapter 6 Matthew chapter 6 and look at verse 25 okay okay take no thought Matthew 6:25 for your life okay look at verse 27 which of You by taking thought can add one cupit verse 28 why take you thought okay look at verse 31 take no thought and look at verse 34 take no thought and Jesus isn't saying don't worry I mean if if your paycheck doesn't show up you worry if the doctor says uh listen the test you're done call me tomorrow morning and I'll give you the results all night long you're going to worry it's impossible say what Jesus is saying there he's not saying don't worry about anything he's saying take no thought for your life which means take no thought meditate go in and separate from the thoughts of the mind so that you receive new information from that still Small Voice which is within you you receive Direction and you're able then to can deal with anything that comes against joke okay and there's an interesting thing that that's num numerology in there what the people of the East did in order to make a point they involve numerology in everything the number five means that which is the sacrifice and it also signifies the five senses of sight taste touch smell and hearing that's why Jesus Took The Five Wounds of hands feet and S because when you crucify or when you shut down the five senses that's the crucifixion of the Flesh and you do that in the meditation and if you look look at chapter uh Matthew chapter 6 starting at verse 25 Jesus says take no thought five times and it's very important that's that's a that's a contrived way that the people of the East wrote take no thought take no thought take no thought and he's making that to be number five because he's talking about the five senses and he's talking about the sacrifice of the flesh you have to understand that meditation is the center okay meditation is the Center and it depends on you being centered and now we're going to get into that which we talked about in the beginning here which is a very important part of teaching nowadays for Corporate America when they're teaching customer service R salespeople and so forth people who are dealing with other people that which is the three circles okay whoops too big let's make it this way okay not really that sharp but anyhow there are three circles which are outside of the center okay the center is the point of meditation the center is the point where you want to go the first circle is this place of feeling that's closest to the center the place of feeling when you have a feeling about something meditation is not there mind is there doesn't make any difference what you're feeling but when you have a feeling about something I feel blue I feel happy I got a strange feeling I got a negative feeling I'm feeling bad vibes and Good Vibes you're feeling you're not meditating you're not in the center you're in Circle Number One okay the second which is further from the center is thinking okay and and that happens a lot many times when you're in the center of meditation you suddenly find yourself drifting out you lose kind of touch with the mother ship and your umbilical cord kind of tethers and you find yourself floating out into the second Circle which is thinking okay thinking is not meditation a lot of people say well you know meditation is you should think about a candle or think about a you can do those things and that that you there's not not the I don't teach that kind of meditation I don't teach meditation in which you to to try to make yourself happy or make I teach the kind of meditation which tries to get you to the center to where you meet the Christ how did you know choking up well thank you thank you had feeling okay she had a feeling and she yeah thought it was a good idea but there's another all right very good because the third circle is activity okay so what you did Craig and what you did is exactly the point meditation is nothingness you had a feeling you thought you should do this and you acted on it now do you see where in in in Corporate America how they start teaching people don't be acting and and being active without understanding what you're thinking get in touch with your feelings but start from the center okay and basically that's the essence of meditation so the first thing as we look here that we have to consider is to move inward from the furthest Circle which is activity because we're out here we're not in here we're not in the center we're way out here see we're trying to make a uh a landing a Pinpoint Landing if you would we're parachuting from the furthest point and we're going to make a Pinpoint Landing and the first thing we got to deal with is activity and that's the easiest one of all you say okay on Tuesday night or Thursday night we have these meditations I will come and you sit on the floor you kick your shoes off you do whatever you want to do you sit in the chair wherever you go but you are going to change the activity that you had planned and it is totally 100% under your control there is no God in the universe that's going to make you do it or can make you do it and if there is no God that can make you do it that makes you God so you then will create the activity you are the god you create the activity you'll either stop or you'll continue with what you're doing so that's the first thing that we've got to move we got to move at that Outer Circle and deal with activity sitting silently moves you towards the next Circle and away from the Outer Circle of activity okay now what the Buddha did was to sit in the Lotus position and and and and you see you see the the statue of the Buddha the Buddha is in the Lotus position with the leg I like to sit in here and do that here when I do the meditation on Tuesday because I found it to be very effective for me there's other people like Joan can't do it because she has a bad back so she can't sit like that and and and and what I find lots of times is with the fact that the floor is concrete uh there is a tendency for your leg to go to sleep but that there's I've learned a new Buddha trick that if you when you're in meditation you place your hands together like this which forms an electrical circuit and the energy then Flows In A Circle the electrical energy flows in the circle and I said that when your leg starts to go to sleep and I guess this happens to all of them because Buddha told them what to do separate your hand put one hand on your knee and the other hand on your heel and it goes away and you know something it does and I've tried it's really it's really a funny thing but it does okay so that's what we have to do the Lotus position is extremely restful and it's very scientific because the spine then is is placed at a 90° angle with the Earth and gravitation is minimized that's why it's a good thing if you can do it to sit in a Lotus position and your legs are crossed your hands are resting on one another or resting on your legs then the body electricity starts moving in a circle and that's why the lotus position was taught by the Buddha and it becomes an an inner electrical circuit and and the Energy starts to move throughout the entire body in a circular pattern so what we're talking about now is not Hocus Pocus has nothing to do with Christianity or Buddhism or any religion we're talking about a scientific fact the best thing that we can all do and I even said I like to see people refer to God as it and and take it out of the male female St just it it's a power it's an energy an intelligence somebody say W you know if it's intelligent it must be no photon is intelligent am I am I true photon is you know Photon photon's a beam of light and in a beam of light it's invisible it it it's the speed of light it's intelligent it'll find the shortest it'll create things there's no time in photon if you're in photon the Big Bang the creation of the universe and today are instantaneous so God could be F remember we were going to make bumper stickers honk if you love Photon you remember that when we were doing it but it's true that's what it is so as your electricity then starts to moving in a circle you become the center you become the center of the circle and all of the energy begins to move around you see and your Consciousness then rests in this electrical energy that's the purpose of the lotus posture and why people use it okay and that's also the way we can start using activity to move from this Outer Circle and start moving ourself into the Inner Circle and I'll tell you something I don't care how much of a born again Christian how much of a good Jew or whatever you are nothing is going to work unless you start doing this and start moving the brain waves down to the cyclic Rhythm of the brain weighs down from F uh what is it beta to Alpha so you got to go from beta to Alpha to Theta to Delta if you don't you can forget about it holy spirit absolutely forget about it there is no Holy Spirit unless you get out of beta and move into Alpha it doesn't exist it's a very scientific principle when you get those people up to jankowitz backyard and they're all seeing Mary sure they are there's no doubt they are but how come because the brain WS because of this meditation they're into the energy is starting to move and they're starting to move out of beta down into Alpha and it opens the Visionary process when you get down Thea you cross over into the right hemisphere of the brain and when you get to Delta you're gone but you have to it it it can't work any other way but unfortunately the part with Christianity that is so bad they know nothing about this and the entire religion is based in beta it's all emotions I mean even the music and we used to be into it hot and heavy you know the music is banging the tambourines and banging and I'm going to get to heaven when I see Jesus and and everybody's jumping and shouting and jumping and carrying around and it it is totally emotional which you know is not see see this thing is not a social thing it's not a thing of a of a group type of entertainment this thing is an extremely private personal encounter with you deep within yourself so it has to be silent and as the Bible says over and over again be still God lives in Silence the Lord is in his holy Temple let everyone be silent in his presence and when you're silent in the presence within you then your brain waves will start to move from 26 down to 16 down to 8 down to four and you'll move from beta to Alpha then into Theta and on you go what can happen I can tell you what happen you get down to Delta what can happen we've seen it on television where Buddhist monks would sit in meditation they would take them and they're practically naked they would take these ice cold sheets sheets stuffed in cold water and put them around their bodies and we saw it on television remember and and suddenly you see smoke from these things smoke would actually come they'd be pressing the sheets on their back and they dry them do we see it I don't know if any of you saw on on Discovery Channel this is the power of the mind that's why Jesus Christ says the kingdom is within you what's possible to do nothing if you're going to sit there and just activate the left side of the brain nothing is possible I mean all that's possible is is religion and War which are the same thing there's not a whole lot of difference between religion and fighting okay so you've got to move Inward and the way to move inward is to start understanding Circle Number Two which is thinking and what did we see that Jesus said to do take no thought here you you you you you've hit the activity Circle you decided you're going to sit still for a half hour and you're going to try it fine you've dealt with the Outer Circle you moved into the second Circle and now you get to the point of thinking which is take no thought the way to move around thoughts is to watch them just watch them and you've got to tell your mind and I talk to my mind when I sit here and I say now look I mean you know you're you and I'm me and all of this crap that you're going to parade in front of me while I'm sitting here I'm telling you right now that's you that's not me so I watch and I just let it go by it just goes by and then it becomes less and less of me and every so often I'll get maybe a minute maybe maybe sometimes two minutes of absolute nothingness Nirvana not constantly because your mind is you know it's it's it's pulling out the door because it wants to get in and it's going to you know you're going to see faces and all of this crazy stuff that it's all mental but as you sit and you start to take yourself away and and and and not judging the thoughts not evaluating the thoughts not getting involved with them just watching them you know what Buddha called it he and he dealt with this he called it you P let me get it spelled right you p e k s h AA and you know what it means it means indifference indifference in other words I get thoughts I'm indifferent to them they I'm I'm on the curve my thoughts are a parade here they go how good off you march that's a discipline see and it's something that you do because a lot of people will come into meditation and they'll say oh I had my mind was all over but certainly it's all over the place there's nothing wrong with that but as you start to learn you become indifferent to these things let the thoughts pass they're all there but you don't have anything to do with them because your mind your left side the brain the carnal mind the side that's going to get buried in the cemetery has nothing to do with what is meditating the meditation point is the right hemisphere this is the point that you've got to understand especially when you come to meditation a lot as many of you do it does not make any difference what type of an experience you had that night what makes a difference is how has it affected your life meditation is not to sit here and Float around and say oh I saw this oh I had a great time oh I had a tremendous experience has nothing to do with that meditation is to make you better so that you can deal with life you can deal with your in-laws and the Outlaws you can deal with w w with with the police you can deal with the church you can you can deal with everybody because of your meditation if it changes your life so that you can deal with the things that come against you better then you know your meditation is working Al Cruz goes and has an operation for a triple bypass within a week he's shopping he's sitting here now and he's so what I would say and Al would testify to it is meditation has helped him Buddha said your meditation is not there that you can have a good meditation your meditation is so that you can have this Reserve ready to come to your Aid when you need it when he needed it is when the doctor says we're going to start here we're going to open you up here and we're going to take everything and we're going to rearrange it he needed it and it came the point is he needed it and it's there and he's sitting there see so I don't have to talk about was God intervention the god intervention was that the God man Christ came the God man Buddha came the God man Krishna came and says meditate get inside of yourself and when you do have problems that come against you you'll be able to deal with them you'll be stronger you'll survive it's like getting into a ring with a boxer your training in the gym is not going to make the other boxer any weaker but it's going to make you much stronger to be able to deal with that person when it comes against you that's what meditation is about and that's something we should learn meditation is not so that you say oh I had a beautiful meditation I floated around the room I saw green stars coming out of the ceiling and all of this stuff I do that when I eat too much pasta or you know have milk and chicken and all that kind of stuff I get indigestion and I'll see things that's not what meditation is for meditation is so that when you get out of here you walk up you get ready tomorrow morning to go to work whenever you do things start coming against you you react differently you think differently you're able to handle these things differently it's not that the things that come against you are any less but that you're much stronger in dealing with them that's what meditation does and that's what Buddha taught 3,000 years ago and that's what it's supposed to be but too many people especially in the new age they get into it and they want to fly around the ceiling and what is it so what happens after you land that's when I used to do the Christian thing and I'd put my hands on people so they'd all fall on the floor I'm telling you one night we said it's like custers last stand there was people all over the floor and and I used and you know what I used to think as I stood there after I got off of my ego trip so I said you know God's really in me I touch people and they fall on the floor but when they get up they were just as screwed up as when they hit the floor nothing changed what helped them nothing didn't do anybody any good but this does you good because not only is this a spiritual fact that Jesus Buddha and chrishna talk it's a scientific and it's a medical fact that's why it's good so the the more unaffected you are with your thoughts the less they'll come and then when they disappear mind disappears and when mind disappears God is there when you are in a total point of what Buddha called Nirvana there is not one thought can you imagine that you want to do it sometimes all you got to do is take your fingers stick them in your ears and hum for about 10 seconds all thoughts go away or hold your breath for 15 seconds soon as you shut off your breath there's no thought and just think of that there's none of your personality there's none of your ideas none of your fears and when you're gone who is there that's thing that you call God the essence of nature the essence of nature the very thing that teaches a dog how to give birth teaches a dog how to be a midwife teaches a dog how to how to do an operation on a on a sack and cut an umbilical cord and all of that stuff that's God like how does that dog know teaches a robin where your backyard is so it can come back the robin that you see coming into your backyard next spring is the same Robin that was day this spring no trouble finding it where you going Robin I'm going out Ethel how do you know where it is I meditate off he goes and he winds up in Ethel's backyard how is this possible all of these things that you say oh that's Instinct sure it's Instinct where does it come from it's this beautiful plan of Nature and nature has a beautiful plan for each one of us but we've let religion get in the way and we said no thanks no thanks I'm going to read the Bible listen to the pastor and we didn't listen to the voice inside and we missed it but thank God we're now listening to the voice inside so we've gotten through the Activity part we gotten through the thinking part and now we come to as who is it say Frank Sinatra or son feelings you know feelings feelings are very subtle very subtle changes you feel very good a slight change comes you're not feeling so good sit down got a Coke or whatever you drink and some pretzels you're watching the World Series you're feeling great you get a telephone call your heart sinks somebody tells you something you didn't want to hear you know and you've gone from Heaven to Hell just like that feelings Everything Changes dependent on the outside what comes in from the outside changes the way you feel changes the way I feel changes our home mood a little anger arises a little sadness arises things are constantly changing now had a situation I'll tell you this I told you about going to the beauty parlor most of you are here I had I went to a beauty parlor yesterday and I won't drag it on but I've been using this stuff on my hair you know because in my business you know I'm in a corporation all the executives nobody has gray hair so I told John I'm going to get this stuff and I squirted it on for two years and it started you know strangling my hair and the hair's falling out so Jones didn't want me to use it anymore yeah so she says don't use it anymore I said what do I do she says we'll diet she says and then I said well okay let diet how do we do that she says you have an appointment at 8:30 tomorrow morning at Mary's Beauty Saloon so here I am in Mary's Beauty Saloon and I said I'll go under one circumstance and that is that there's no other women coming in there because I'm not GNA you know I can't handle this there's nobody going to be in there at 9 o'clock okay so I'm there at 8:30 with Joan she puts this my hair sticking up like this you know with this stuff in it looks like this lady you know in the Frankenstein movie and all this stuff coming out and she sets the timer 20 minutes to go and I'm looking at this timer Here Comes Marge in at 5 to9 hello I couldn't believe this woman's in there and they're sticking curlers in her hair and I'm sitting there and I'm looking the other direction and I was you know Absolut sudden she finally she puts me in the middle of the chair and she's going to clean out I said God if you know at least it's not a man here's the electrician from next door comes and he's doing that and I I felt like a fruit cake sitting in there you know so anyhow that was what I did yesterday and and and and and and so I had my feelings were you know were all kinds of terrible feelings that that I was having during the day so my feelings were changing a little anger arises a little sadness arises constantly changing feelings and feelings have to be addressed in meditation the same way that thoughts are addressed we have to allow that they're there we have to allow them to pass you know you get into absolute fright you get into absolute ecstasy you get into anger you go from Heaven to Hell in an instant simply on the basis of what somebody says you know can you can you can sense it you know you can you can sometimes you walk into a place and you can sense the vibrations and you can your feelings start to commiserate with the people that are in that place you know that's why Buddha said he is the statue and that's why you must become the statue you become the Buddha you become the statue the Statue has no feelings you are simply best thing in your being come on you've got you've got you you you've got you've got 40 hours in the week or whatever it is to have feelings but just for that one half hour one half hour you become a statue and you rest in your own inner being and the feelings are just allowed to wash away and that half hour it's like the doctors say one half hour of meditation is equal to eight hours of sleep being extremely alert so this is meditation so you move then with the point of activity through the thinking process through the feeling process and you touch the center and that is what we call or what we've known as God but this is the important part I can't do it for you no preacher can do it for you no priest or Minister can do it for you no Pope can do it for you this is your lovely creation and when we have meditation whether there's 20 or 30 or whatever it is there are 20 or 30 different creat Creations because it's tuned in to you and your personality your uniqueness see nobody no God ever wanted you to come in and be in with a group and all think alike and be alike you're to remain that unique individual different you because you have a contribution to make see imagine if we tried to take all the German Shepherds and make them into college couldn't do it see you are unique you are different you have a special special TR and therefore that which is created is given you an opportunity to use your uniqueness and be that really indelible you so that's your meditation and your creation and then the purpose of the meditation is so you can move out of here move into the world and contribute to it contribute to it because you're no longer going to be thinking the way they do you're no longer going to be thinking like the military the military is an existence simply for one reason the military is an existence to make murder patriotism make murder patriotism and get everybody to salute and March and agree this was a wonderful thing see you're not going to think that way anymore you don't want anything to do with guns you don't want to hunt animals anymore you don't want to because you say well you know there's nothing wrong with that well maybe there isn't in the contents of of the way you used to think but when you come into this I can guarantee that's one thing that's going to happen to you suddenly you start to open the right side and you become one with nature and you you won't hurt an animal anymore you won't lift your hand and you won't hurt a child by threatening a child with hell or Devils or demons you won't do it anymore you can't because a change comes over you the right side start the temple doors open and you start thinking with the god mind you start thinking with the Christ you haven't just read the Bible you become it you haven't just read about Jesus you become Jesus you haven't just put a bumper stick around you say honk if you like to you become one you become him you become it say and that's the be beautiful beautiful part suddenly you find what he said when he said in the book The things I do you can do you can do better than me because the same thing that's in me is in you and so that's when you do and you can use the three circles instead of the three circles using you you use the activity you understand the thinking process you use the feeling process to get into the center instead of letting the feeling and the thinking and the activity control your life that's the key that's what that's the point you use your mind instead of your mind using you there see in other words you become the driver instead of the vehicle driving you you drive the vehicle you direct your destiny instead of allowing chance to direct where you will wind up see and and I'll tell you something when you start creating out of meditation things happen all of a sudden it's not that you think I'm going to do this all of a sudden the opport Unity is there and you say I never you know what you do I never thought I'd ever be doing this I never thought I'd ever be doing I never thought this would ever happen not in a million years would I have ever thought this would ever happen this what you're saying on on that television with the with the guy in signing with the Palestinians and he's saying I never thought I would sign such a thing like this it's important to know the three circles so that the meditation is not just when you come to the longer meditation time everything becomes a meditation AC ity becomes a meditation thinking becomes a meditation feeling becomes a meditation you want to have a meditation go to ltic City go to a cassino you w't think of anything I mean you're transported into an entire different world and you feel good you get caught up in all of it for a half hour forever all of a sudden you get all excited and you're feeling good and you get in the car and you go back up and then you turn on the radio and you get back with the people you've been hanging out with and everything is going right down the toilet again that's why people go down there they act out this fantasy is there a need do you have to do that in order to to act out of but when you have to get away from all of this morbid type of hate and fear and guilt and shooting and killing and all of this stuff you go anywhere it's not the fact that it's Atlantic City it's not the fact that it's your vacation it's not the fact of a beautiful mountain or a lovely lake or it's nice and Key West it's the fact that you're away from where you've been and all of the stresses and the stripes that come against you finally I'm not there anymore even for an hour and that's what this does even for a half hour I have suddenly shut it down and I have moved out into this Cloud of Unknowing into a special place without being anywhere you have been a slave and I have been a slave to those three circles sadness fear and hurt beat us down and in many instances beats us down you want to take a look go in a hospital tomorrow just walk up and down the halls and look at them all laying there for why what happened where did it all come from and he said say you'll get healed go in and heal one of them go in with your your tracks and your Bibles heal one of them doesn't work that way rules don't work that way laws doesn't work that way and the god the creation nature was saying it doesn't have to be that way you've made yourselves all sick by the way you've lived because you've lived out of this side you've lived out here you've never come to the center you know what the ban said I am against those escapists who escape from the world and become 24-hour meditators one hour is enough half hour is enough it'll illuminate you it's enough and the test of whether your meditation is successful or not is the test of whether your life is improved is your health better is your relationships with your kids better are your kids better is there better vibrations around your house do your animals sense it are things happier then your meditation is success I don't care how much you think I don't care how much you sit in meditation oh I couldn't get into it tonight you got into it because what's happening in your life how do you feel stronger how do you understand there's a lady that comes here Carol mon she you know her whole you could see it on her face just all changed because For the First time she's gotten in touch with herself she hasn't been told she's a worthless sinner she's been told there's something special in there and she touched it she was around she was taking up the offering today singing Hot Diggity Dog Diggity what was it boom what you do to me see in spite of the situation I'm I'm I'm done I know I've kept but I'm in spite of the situation that you run into in spite of your feelings about the situation the question is did you come through it did you survive it did you make it did you win really even though you thought you were going to lose did you win did you send out a dove and the Dove came back with an olive branch and said hey I'm still standing look at all the crisises in your life that was going to do you in here you are you made it in spite of it all well you protected did it come out right and constantly meditating constantly praying constantly reading the Bible is like preparing for an examination and never taking it you got Life to Live meditation is simply to prepare you so you can go out and do the job do the work raise the kids go to work do whatever you do but do it from a whole different and higher perspective do it from the center instead of doing it from the yeah six guys come tell you know love the Lord with all of your how could you love what what am I going to love a gas somewhere I don't even know what it is instead of understanding that when I say I love the Lord I love the very center of my own experience and I want it to be better and I want it to contribute and I want it to help and I want it to to do good for people meditation prepares you for a life experience and so you can go into life meditation will go with you so that you react properly in any c circumstances meditation is an exposure to that person that you've been called God which is the center of your own being God then can give you what you're supposed to get so go forward into life and do the meditation and then you'll hear what Isaiah had to say in Isaiah 30: 21 and there you shall hear a word behind you saying this is the way walk in it when you turn to the right hand and when you turn to the left and you will will hear it you will hear it and you'll know what to do just as the dog knows how to give birth just as the seagull knows when it's time to head out from the sea and back to just as the as as the robin knows where your backyard is just as the Canadian goose know where aoko is you'll know just like a pilot who flies in in a thick fog over Kennedy Airport and knows right where the runway is because he focuses is on that Beacon Quick just put it on on on on on record wait one second just record you don't have to make it play just put it on record son okay that was us uh Ju Ju Just in all you plug into that Beacon which is deep inside of you and it will guide you to the runway it'll guide you to where you want to go always see always understand one thing nature understands this people don't begin to understand nature the one way to understand what we call God is to get a book about nature and begin reading it about the animals about about the birds about how they do things about instincts there's there's a book called The that I have at home called The Wonderful World of Nature and how nature is so intelligent and the reason is an animal doesn't have a choice to say I'm not going to follow my instinct I'm going to do this it follows it because it has to we have a choice and the Bible says I set before you a choice life or a curse you decide and we have chosen including religion we've chosen the curse because we didn't know about the beacon we didn't know about the pineal that bird Finds Its way to your backyard because it's touched to the pineal gland of the brain a bird has a pineal gland of the brain am I right an animal has a pineal gland a migrating animal touches the pineal gland and it takes it right where it should go and nature never tricks it it never sends it in the wrong direction we go in the wrong direction because we don't know of the pineal the ancient says it's atrophied from nonuse because religion has scared us away from it but you now have an opportunity to say to religion and say Yes to God yes to Jesus yes to Buddha yes to to Krishna but mostly important yes to yourself yes to yourself and then show Jesus he was right you are something special and make yourself the very best you you could possibly be thank you very much and uh Joan will come on I think or whatever comes on comes on see you byebye that was very good that very good thank you hurry up hurry up tape okay just we have uh one of the parents was just recently in England and uh while while she was in England she found a series of books and it's all on questions like um where does the rain come from uh what how does a tree start you know questions that children ask like why why why why why and she brought home these series of books so in class that day Debbie was teaching them about the P the pineal gland and um the the two boys their twins told their mother on the way home that the lesson was about the pineal gland and what the pineal gland was Etc so she said well let's go to the books and look it up and the information was in the books so then the next Sunday uh the children brought the books in for Debbie to see the information that was contained so uh they bring the lessons home to the parents and most of the parents quiz them like what did you learn today uh they want to know what what the child learns that they can work with them during the week but I think that's really good that these these kids I mean they're they're 8 years old and they know what the pineal gland is maybe you should tell everybody what the pineal gland is well a pineal gland is a is a gland in the brain that actually is the point that Jesus was talking about that if your eye be single if you stimulate the Pineo gland it secretes a hormone called melatonin kills cancer cells and sets the time clock of the body and the ancient said it opens the right hemisphere of the brain so you know to to be able to get children to understand hey this thing called God put everything inside of your body and all you have to do is start paying attention to yourself respect yourself realize how special you are and and start following the instructions that Jesus gave us how do I make this thing work inside of me the first thing you have to do is stop being afraid of yourself and start lifting yourself up say I'm a special person and I'm going to do what Jesus said Buddha said Krishna said and I'm going to make this work and then you'll see that thing which is called God Blossom within you so it's a long it's a long way to go because you know my God I just remember we have another book and this book is all about feelings and uh um and the child learns uh what anger is and that it's okay to be angry uh that how you can work your anger out they learn about happiness sadness that they we it goes through all the emotions and all of the feelings and it's really good because then you're not afraid to express them as you get older and the child can identify what those feelings are like how many people go through life and they can never identify a feeling so that's what that book is that whole all the lessons in that book are on feelings good okay well thank you very much and that's what we do and the reason that I wanted Joan to share that with you is because you don't have to bring children into a place where you're going to talk about God and then have them scared to death about devils and demons and hells that that don't exist but to teach them about that which is with ins side of them that does exist and can make them very very special into a beautiful life where they become one with nature and the animals and the Very Earth itself and then know what God is I am that one that beautiful place okay thank you very much and uh

it&#39;s very difficult for me when I&#39;m home you know you know the computer&#39;s there I should do something on the computer the television maybe I see how the ball game&#39;s going very difficult when you&#39;re he you commit yourself to a half hour and you&#39;re still that&#39;s why it&#39;s important that you know when you can if you can come you come and and and and and try to subject yourself to that because that&#39;s it&#39;s it&#39;s it&#39;s difficult otherwise okay so real meditation is learning to be still as the Bible says Be Still still and know that I am God be still and understand the I am is God that is within you the creative power within you is either good or evil the creative power within you is either God or the devil power itself is totally neutral electrical power here&#39;s the lights it&#39;s totally neutral it has it will not hurt you it will not do you any good it&#39;s just neutral it depends on how you use it you get a good electrician and this is what happens we have air conditioning we have music we can have movies in here at television we have nice lights and all of this is beautiful because whoever used this power knew what they were doing the same power in my hands and in 10 seconds this place would go up in Flames because I don&#39;t know how to use it I don&#39;t know the the positive from the negative or whatever there&#39;d be a short circuit and I&#39;d burn the place down and and I have done things you know where I got in behind and screwed wires together you know and then smoke comes out and you you all of this kind of stuff because you&#39;re fooling with the power the power has nothing the power is not going to hurt anybody or the power is not it&#39;s neutral it depends on how you use the power so if what comes out of you is a power it depends is is it good or is it evil is it God or is it the devil it depends on what comes out of you has nothing to do with any guy with a beard sitting on a planet somewhere and if the guy with a beard was sitting on the planet somewhere you know what would what would you what would you what would you think I mean what would you think if if you created all this you&#39;ve outlined all of this through these speakers you&#39;ve told people in symbolism you say in the Bible you got a Bible here you say throughout the whole book of the Bible don&#39;t take it literally it&#39;s allegorical it&#39;s Parables numerology do not take it literally it&#39;s all symbolism and what do they do they take it literally what are you going to do and then they say they&#39;re going to wait for the second coming and the guy that came the first time got killed and he&#39;s sitting up there and say I&#39;m not going to go back a second time though people are crazy say crazy people down there and they are crazy people and so now you see the great intervention and this understanding what we have to do is be still see now people give you a lot of techniques on how to meditate but the problem with the techniques of how to meditate is if you are following a technique you are doing something you cannot follow a technique unless you do something and as soon as you start doing something you&#39;re not meditating I&#39;m going to do this and I&#39;m going to take three breaths and I&#39;m going to visualize a candle burning in the middle of a you know well you&#39;re doing all of this your mind is doing all of that and that&#39;s not meditation there&#39;s a great book I don&#39;t know if you&#39;ll be able to find it it&#39;s written by a 14th century Catholic monk it&#39;s called The Cloud of Unknowing an obscure book written by an obscure man but it&#39;s an excellent book about meditation and it takes you to the point where it only works if there is an absolute total consumption on your part into nothingness and that&#39;s not that easy from the standpoint of achieving it because if you stop for just 10 15 seconds and let your mind sit you&#39;ll see that your mind is like a monkey cage in there things swinging back and forth and chirping and going on all the time because you&#39;ve never allowed it to be still nobody ever told you even in church and religion they say God is where God is here in my heart but that doesn&#39;t mean with the heart the heart means the center it&#39;s here that thing which we call God is in the center it&#39;s here but we&#39;ve never paid any attention to it most of us never even knew we had a right hemisphere of the brain most of us never knew we had a pineal gland of the brain never understood these things because the church wouldn&#39;t allow us they said that the man up here with the Rob on will save you if you&#39;ll just do what you&#39;re told get up on your told kneel when you&#39;re told sing when you&#39;re told put the money in when you&#39;re told get out when you&#39;re told come back when you&#39;re told all this nonsense instead of understanding there is a need for a renewal to happen within each one of us and that renewal comes very very easily if we simply expose ourselves to this power so the Mind cannot be involved look at page 782 in those little Bibles that you have there and look at the Book of Matthew and what does Matthew say what does Jesus Christ say Okay Matthew chapter 6 Matthew chapter 6 and look at verse 25 okay okay take no thought Matthew 6:25 for your life okay look at verse 27 which of You by taking thought can add one cupit verse 28 why take you thought okay look at verse 31 take no thought and look at verse 34 take no thought and Jesus isn&#39;t saying don&#39;t worry I mean if if your paycheck doesn&#39;t show up you worry if the doctor says uh listen the test you&#39;re done call me tomorrow morning and I&#39;ll give you the results all night long you&#39;re going to worry it&#39;s impossible say what Jesus is saying there he&#39;s not saying don&#39;t worry about anything he&#39;s saying take no thought for your life which means take no thought meditate go in and separate from the thoughts of the mind so that you receive new information from that still Small Voice which is within you you receive Direction and you&#39;re able then to can deal with anything that comes against joke okay and there&#39;s an interesting thing that that&#39;s num numerology in there what the people of the East did in order to make a point they involve numerology in everything the number five means that which is the sacrifice and it also signifies the five senses of sight taste touch smell and hearing that&#39;s why Jesus Took The Five Wounds of hands feet and S because when you crucify or when you shut down the five senses that&#39;s the crucifixion of the Flesh and you do that in the meditation and if you look look at chapter uh Matthew chapter 6 starting at verse 25 Jesus says take no thought five times and it&#39;s very important that&#39;s that&#39;s a that&#39;s a contrived way that the people of the East wrote take no thought take no thought take no thought and he&#39;s making that to be number five because he&#39;s talking about the five senses and he&#39;s talking about the sacrifice of the flesh you have to understand that meditation is the center okay meditation is the Center and it depends on you being centered and now we&#39;re going to get into that which we talked about in the beginning here which is a very important part of teaching nowadays for Corporate America when they&#39;re teaching customer service R salespeople and so forth people who are dealing with other people that which is the three circles okay whoops too big let&#39;s make it this way okay not really that sharp but anyhow there are three circles which are outside of the center okay the center is the point of meditation the center is the point where you want to go the first circle is this place of feeling that&#39;s closest to the center the place of feeling when you have a feeling about something meditation is not there mind is there doesn&#39;t make any difference what you&#39;re feeling but when you have a feeling about something I feel blue I feel happy I got a strange feeling I got a negative feeling I&#39;m feeling bad vibes and Good Vibes you&#39;re feeling you&#39;re not meditating you&#39;re not in the center you&#39;re in Circle Number One okay the second which is further from the center is thinking okay and and that happens a lot many times when you&#39;re in the center of meditation you suddenly find yourself drifting out you lose kind of touch with the mother ship and your umbilical cord kind of tethers and you find yourself floating out into the second Circle which is thinking okay thinking is not meditation a lot of people say well you know meditation is you should think about a candle or think about a you can do those things and that that you there&#39;s not not the I don&#39;t teach that kind of meditation I don&#39;t teach meditation in which you to to try to make yourself happy or make I teach the kind of meditation which tries to get you to the center to where you meet the Christ how did you know choking up well thank you thank you had feeling okay she had a feeling and she yeah thought it was a good idea but there&#39;s another all right very good because the third circle is activity okay so what you did Craig and what you did is exactly the point meditation is nothingness you had a feeling you thought you should do this and you acted on it now do you see where in in in Corporate America how they start teaching people don&#39;t be acting and and being active without understanding what you&#39;re thinking get in touch with your feelings but start from the center okay and basically that&#39;s the essence of meditation so the first thing as we look here that we have to consider is to move inward from the furthest Circle which is activity because we&#39;re out here we&#39;re not in here we&#39;re not in the center we&#39;re way out here see we&#39;re trying to make a uh a landing a Pinpoint Landing if you would we&#39;re parachuting from the furthest point and we&#39;re going to make a Pinpoint Landing and the first thing we got to deal with is activity and that&#39;s the easiest one of all you say okay on Tuesday night or Thursday night we have these meditations I will come and you sit on the floor you kick your shoes off you do whatever you want to do you sit in the chair wherever you go but you are going to change the activity that you had planned and it is totally 100% under your control there is no God in the universe that&#39;s going to make you do it or can make you do it and if there is no God that can make you do it that makes you God so you then will create the activity you are the god you create the activity you&#39;ll either stop or you&#39;ll continue with what you&#39;re doing so that&#39;s the first thing that we&#39;ve got to move we got to move at that Outer Circle and deal with activity sitting silently moves you towards the next Circle and away from the Outer Circle of activity okay now what the Buddha did was to sit in the Lotus position and and and and you see you see the the statue of the Buddha the Buddha is in the Lotus position with the leg I like to sit in here and do that here when I do the meditation on Tuesday because I found it to be very effective for me there&#39;s other people like Joan can&#39;t do it because she has a bad back so she can&#39;t sit like that and and and and what I find lots of times is with the fact that the floor is concrete uh there is a tendency for your leg to go to sleep but that there&#39;s I&#39;ve learned a new Buddha trick that if you when you&#39;re in meditation you place your hands together like this which forms an electrical circuit and the energy then Flows In A Circle the electrical energy flows in the circle and I said that when your leg starts to go to sleep and I guess this happens to all of them because Buddha told them what to do separate your hand put one hand on your knee and the other hand on your heel and it goes away and you know something it does and I&#39;ve tried it&#39;s really it&#39;s really a funny thing but it does okay so that&#39;s what we have to do the Lotus position is extremely restful and it&#39;s very scientific because the spine then is is placed at a 90° angle with the Earth and gravitation is minimized that&#39;s why it&#39;s a good thing if you can do it to sit in a Lotus position and your legs are crossed your hands are resting on one another or resting on your legs then the body electricity starts moving in a circle and that&#39;s why the lotus position was taught by the Buddha and it becomes an an inner electrical circuit and and the Energy starts to move throughout the entire body in a circular pattern so what we&#39;re talking about now is not Hocus Pocus has nothing to do with Christianity or Buddhism or any religion we&#39;re talking about a scientific fact the best thing that we can all do and I even said I like to see people refer to God as it and and take it out of the male female St just it it&#39;s a power it&#39;s an energy an intelligence somebody say W you know if it&#39;s intelligent it must be no photon is intelligent am I am I true photon is you know Photon photon&#39;s a beam of light and in a beam of light it&#39;s invisible it it it&#39;s the speed of light it&#39;s intelligent it&#39;ll find the shortest it&#39;ll create things there&#39;s no time in photon if you&#39;re in photon the Big Bang the creation of the universe and today are instantaneous so God could be F remember we were going to make bumper stickers honk if you love Photon you remember that when we were doing it but it&#39;s true that&#39;s what it is so as your electricity then starts to moving in a circle you become the center you become the center of the circle and all of the energy begins to move around you see and your Consciousness then rests in this electrical energy that&#39;s the purpose of the lotus posture and why people use it okay and that&#39;s also the way we can start using activity to move from this Outer Circle and start moving ourself into the Inner Circle and I&#39;ll tell you something I don&#39;t care how much of a born again Christian how much of a good Jew or whatever you are nothing is going to work unless you start doing this and start moving the brain waves down to the cyclic Rhythm of the brain weighs down from F uh what is it beta to Alpha so you got to go from beta to Alpha to Theta to Delta if you don&#39;t you can forget about it holy spirit absolutely forget about it there is no Holy Spirit unless you get out of beta and move into Alpha it doesn&#39;t exist it&#39;s a very scientific principle when you get those people up to jankowitz backyard and they&#39;re all seeing Mary sure they are there&#39;s no doubt they are but how come because the brain WS because of this meditation they&#39;re into the energy is starting to move and they&#39;re starting to move out of beta down into Alpha and it opens the Visionary process when you get down Thea you cross over into the right hemisphere of the brain and when you get to Delta you&#39;re gone but you have to it it it can&#39;t work any other way but unfortunately the part with Christianity that is so bad they know nothing about this and the entire religion is based in beta it&#39;s all emotions I mean even the music and we used to be into it hot and heavy you know the music is banging the tambourines and banging and I&#39;m going to get to heaven when I see Jesus and and everybody&#39;s jumping and shouting and jumping and carrying around and it it is totally emotional which you know is not see see this thing is not a social thing it&#39;s not a thing of a of a group type of entertainment this thing is an extremely private personal encounter with you deep within yourself so it has to be silent and as the Bible says over and over again be still God lives in Silence the Lord is in his holy Temple let everyone be silent in his presence and when you&#39;re silent in the presence within you then your brain waves will start to move from 26 down to 16 down to 8 down to four and you&#39;ll move from beta to Alpha then into Theta and on you go what can happen I can tell you what happen you get down to Delta what can happen we&#39;ve seen it on television where Buddhist monks would sit in meditation they would take them and they&#39;re practically naked they would take these ice cold sheets sheets stuffed in cold water and put them around their bodies and we saw it on television remember and and suddenly you see smoke from these things smoke would actually come they&#39;d be pressing the sheets on their back and they dry them do we see it I don&#39;t know if any of you saw on on Discovery Channel this is the power of the mind that&#39;s why Jesus Christ says the kingdom is within you what&#39;s possible to do nothing if you&#39;re going to sit there and just activate the left side of the brain nothing is possible I mean all that&#39;s possible is is religion and War which are the same thing there&#39;s not a whole lot of difference between religion and fighting okay so you&#39;ve got to move Inward and the way to move inward is to start understanding Circle Number Two which is thinking and what did we see that Jesus said to do take no thought here you you you you you&#39;ve hit the activity Circle you decided you&#39;re going to sit still for a half hour and you&#39;re going to try it fine you&#39;ve dealt with the Outer Circle you moved into the second Circle and now you get to the point of thinking which is take no thought the way to move around thoughts is to watch them just watch them and you&#39;ve got to tell your mind and I talk to my mind when I sit here and I say now look I mean you know you&#39;re you and I&#39;m me and all of this crap that you&#39;re going to parade in front of me while I&#39;m sitting here I&#39;m telling you right now that&#39;s you that&#39;s not me so I watch and I just let it go by it just goes by and then it becomes less and less of me and every so often I&#39;ll get maybe a minute maybe maybe sometimes two minutes of absolute nothingness Nirvana not constantly because your mind is you know it&#39;s it&#39;s it&#39;s pulling out the door because it wants to get in and it&#39;s going to you know you&#39;re going to see faces and all of this crazy stuff that it&#39;s all mental but as you sit and you start to take yourself away and and and and not judging the thoughts not evaluating the thoughts not getting involved with them just watching them you know what Buddha called it he and he dealt with this he called it you P let me get it spelled right you p e k s h AA and you know what it means it means indifference indifference in other words I get thoughts I&#39;m indifferent to them they I&#39;m I&#39;m on the curve my thoughts are a parade here they go how good off you march that&#39;s a discipline see and it&#39;s something that you do because a lot of people will come into meditation and they&#39;ll say oh I had my mind was all over but certainly it&#39;s all over the place there&#39;s nothing wrong with that but as you start to learn you become indifferent to these things let the thoughts pass they&#39;re all there but you don&#39;t have anything to do with them because your mind your left side the brain the carnal mind the side that&#39;s going to get buried in the cemetery has nothing to do with what is meditating the meditation point is the right hemisphere this is the point that you&#39;ve got to understand especially when you come to meditation a lot as many of you do it does not make any difference what type of an experience you had that night what makes a difference is how has it affected your life meditation is not to sit here and Float around and say oh I saw this oh I had a great time oh I had a tremendous experience has nothing to do with that meditation is to make you better so that you can deal with life you can deal with your in-laws and the Outlaws you can deal with w w with with the police you can deal with the church you can you can deal with everybody because of your meditation if it changes your life so that you can deal with the things that come against you better then you know your meditation is working Al Cruz goes and has an operation for a triple bypass within a week he&#39;s shopping he&#39;s sitting here now and he&#39;s so what I would say and Al would testify to it is meditation has helped him Buddha said your meditation is not there that you can have a good meditation your meditation is so that you can have this Reserve ready to come to your Aid when you need it when he needed it is when the doctor says we&#39;re going to start here we&#39;re going to open you up here and we&#39;re going to take everything and we&#39;re going to rearrange it he needed it and it came the point is he needed it and it&#39;s there and he&#39;s sitting there see so I don&#39;t have to talk about was God intervention the god intervention was that the God man Christ came the God man Buddha came the God man Krishna came and says meditate get inside of yourself and when you do have problems that come against you you&#39;ll be able to deal with them you&#39;ll be stronger you&#39;ll survive it&#39;s like getting into a ring with a boxer your training in the gym is not going to make the other boxer any weaker but it&#39;s going to make you much stronger to be able to deal with that person when it comes against you that&#39;s what meditation is about and that&#39;s something we should learn meditation is not so that you say oh I had a beautiful meditation I floated around the room I saw green stars coming out of the ceiling and all of this stuff I do that when I eat too much pasta or you know have milk and chicken and all that kind of stuff I get indigestion and I&#39;ll see things that&#39;s not what meditation is for meditation is so that when you get out of here you walk up you get ready tomorrow morning to go to work whenever you do things start coming against you you react differently you think differently you&#39;re able to handle these things differently it&#39;s not that the things that come against you are any less but that you&#39;re much stronger in dealing with them that&#39;s what meditation does and that&#39;s what Buddha taught 3,000 years ago and that&#39;s what it&#39;s supposed to be but too many people especially in the new age they get into it and they want to fly around the ceiling and what is it so what happens after you land that&#39;s when I used to do the Christian thing and I&#39;d put my hands on people so they&#39;d all fall on the floor I&#39;m telling you one night we said it&#39;s like custers last stand there was people all over the floor and and I used and you know what I used to think as I stood there after I got off of my ego trip so I said you know God&#39;s really in me I touch people and they fall on the floor but when they get up they were just as screwed up as when they hit the floor nothing changed what helped them nothing didn&#39;t do anybody any good but this does you good because not only is this a spiritual fact that Jesus Buddha and chrishna talk it&#39;s a scientific and it&#39;s a medical fact that&#39;s why it&#39;s good so the the more unaffected you are with your thoughts the less they&#39;ll come and then when they disappear mind disappears and when mind disappears God is there when you are in a total point of what Buddha called Nirvana there is not one thought can you imagine that you want to do it sometimes all you got to do is take your fingers stick them in your ears and hum for about 10 seconds all thoughts go away or hold your breath for 15 seconds soon as you shut off your breath there&#39;s no thought and just think of that there&#39;s none of your personality there&#39;s none of your ideas none of your fears and when you&#39;re gone who is there that&#39;s thing that you call God the essence of nature the essence of nature the very thing that teaches a dog how to give birth teaches a dog how to be a midwife teaches a dog how to how to do an operation on a on a sack and cut an umbilical cord and all of that stuff that&#39;s God like how does that dog know teaches a robin where your backyard is so it can come back the robin that you see coming into your backyard next spring is the same Robin that was day this spring no trouble finding it where you going Robin I&#39;m going out Ethel how do you know where it is I meditate off he goes and he winds up in Ethel&#39;s backyard how is this possible all of these things that you say oh that&#39;s Instinct sure it&#39;s Instinct where does it come from it&#39;s this beautiful plan of Nature and nature has a beautiful plan for each one of us but we&#39;ve let religion get in the way and we said no thanks no thanks I&#39;m going to read the Bible listen to the pastor and we didn&#39;t listen to the voice inside and we missed it but thank God we&#39;re now listening to the voice inside so we&#39;ve gotten through the Activity part we gotten through the thinking part and now we come to as who is it say Frank Sinatra or son feelings you know feelings feelings are very subtle very subtle changes you feel very good a slight change comes you&#39;re not feeling so good sit down got a Coke or whatever you drink and some pretzels you&#39;re watching the World Series you&#39;re feeling great you get a telephone call your heart sinks somebody tells you something you didn&#39;t want to hear you know and you&#39;ve gone from Heaven to Hell just like that feelings Everything Changes dependent on the outside what comes in from the outside changes the way you feel changes the way I feel changes our home mood a little anger arises a little sadness arises things are constantly changing now had a situation I&#39;ll tell you this I told you about going to the beauty parlor most of you are here I had I went to a beauty parlor yesterday and I won&#39;t drag it on but I&#39;ve been using this stuff on my hair you know because in my business you know I&#39;m in a corporation all the executives nobody has gray hair so I told John I&#39;m going to get this stuff and I squirted it on for two years and it started you know strangling my hair and the hair&#39;s falling out so Jones didn&#39;t want me to use it anymore yeah so she says don&#39;t use it anymore I said what do I do she says we&#39;ll diet she says and then I said well okay let diet how do we do that she says you have an appointment at 8:30 tomorrow morning at Mary&#39;s Beauty Saloon so here I am in Mary&#39;s Beauty Saloon and I said I&#39;ll go under one circumstance and that is that there&#39;s no other women coming in there because I&#39;m not GNA you know I can&#39;t handle this there&#39;s nobody going to be in there at 9 o&#39;clock okay so I&#39;m there at 8:30 with Joan she puts this my hair sticking up like this you know with this stuff in it looks like this lady you know in the Frankenstein movie and all this stuff coming out and she sets the timer 20 minutes to go and I&#39;m looking at this timer Here Comes Marge in at 5 to9 hello I couldn&#39;t believe this woman&#39;s in there and they&#39;re sticking curlers in her hair and I&#39;m sitting there and I&#39;m looking the other direction and I was you know Absolut sudden she finally she puts me in the middle of the chair and she&#39;s going to clean out I said God if you know at least it&#39;s not a man here&#39;s the electrician from next door comes and he&#39;s doing that and I I felt like a fruit cake sitting in there you know so anyhow that was what I did yesterday and and and and and and so I had my feelings were you know were all kinds of terrible feelings that that I was having during the day so my feelings were changing a little anger arises a little sadness arises constantly changing feelings and feelings have to be addressed in meditation the same way that thoughts are addressed we have to allow that they&#39;re there we have to allow them to pass you know you get into absolute fright you get into absolute ecstasy you get into anger you go from Heaven to Hell in an instant simply on the basis of what somebody says you know can you can you can sense it you know you can you can sometimes you walk into a place and you can sense the vibrations and you can your feelings start to commiserate with the people that are in that place you know that&#39;s why Buddha said he is the statue and that&#39;s why you must become the statue you become the Buddha you become the statue the Statue has no feelings you are simply best thing in your being come on you&#39;ve got you&#39;ve got you you you&#39;ve got you&#39;ve got 40 hours in the week or whatever it is to have feelings but just for that one half hour one half hour you become a statue and you rest in your own inner being and the feelings are just allowed to wash away and that half hour it&#39;s like the doctors say one half hour of meditation is equal to eight hours of sleep being extremely alert so this is meditation so you move then with the point of activity through the thinking process through the feeling process and you touch the center and that is what we call or what we&#39;ve known as God but this is the important part I can&#39;t do it for you no preacher can do it for you no priest or Minister can do it for you no Pope can do it for you this is your lovely creation and when we have meditation whether there&#39;s 20 or 30 or whatever it is there are 20 or 30 different creat Creations because it&#39;s tuned in to you and your personality your uniqueness see nobody no God ever wanted you to come in and be in with a group and all think alike and be alike you&#39;re to remain that unique individual different you because you have a contribution to make see imagine if we tried to take all the German Shepherds and make them into college couldn&#39;t do it see you are unique you are different you have a special special TR and therefore that which is created is given you an opportunity to use your uniqueness and be that really indelible you so that&#39;s your meditation and your creation and then the purpose of the meditation is so you can move out of here move into the world and contribute to it contribute to it because you&#39;re no longer going to be thinking the way they do you&#39;re no longer going to be thinking like the military the military is an existence simply for one reason the military is an existence to make murder patriotism make murder patriotism and get everybody to salute and March and agree this was a wonderful thing see you&#39;re not going to think that way anymore you don&#39;t want anything to do with guns you don&#39;t want to hunt animals anymore you don&#39;t want to because you say well you know there&#39;s nothing wrong with that well maybe there isn&#39;t in the contents of of the way you used to think but when you come into this I can guarantee that&#39;s one thing that&#39;s going to happen to you suddenly you start to open the right side and you become one with nature and you you won&#39;t hurt an animal anymore you won&#39;t lift your hand and you won&#39;t hurt a child by threatening a child with hell or Devils or demons you won&#39;t do it anymore you can&#39;t because a change comes over you the right side start the temple doors open and you start thinking with the god mind you start thinking with the Christ you haven&#39;t just read the Bible you become it you haven&#39;t just read about Jesus you become Jesus you haven&#39;t just put a bumper stick around you say honk if you like to you become one you become him you become it say and that&#39;s the be beautiful beautiful part suddenly you find what he said when he said in the book The things I do you can do you can do better than me because the same thing that&#39;s in me is in you and so that&#39;s when you do and you can use the three circles instead of the three circles using you you use the activity you understand the thinking process you use the feeling process to get into the center instead of letting the feeling and the thinking and the activity control your life that&#39;s the key that&#39;s what that&#39;s the point you use your mind instead of your mind using you there see in other words you become the driver instead of the vehicle driving you you drive the vehicle you direct your destiny instead of allowing chance to direct where you will wind up see and and I&#39;ll tell you something when you start creating out of meditation things happen all of a sudden it&#39;s not that you think I&#39;m going to do this all of a sudden the opport Unity is there and you say I never you know what you do I never thought I&#39;d ever be doing this I never thought I&#39;d ever be doing I never thought this would ever happen not in a million years would I have ever thought this would ever happen this what you&#39;re saying on on that television with the with the guy in signing with the Palestinians and he&#39;s saying I never thought I would sign such a thing like this it&#39;s important to know the three circles so that the meditation is not just when you come to the longer meditation time everything becomes a meditation AC ity becomes a meditation thinking becomes a meditation feeling becomes a meditation you want to have a meditation go to ltic City go to a cassino you w&#39;t think of anything I mean you&#39;re transported into an entire different world and you feel good you get caught up in all of it for a half hour forever all of a sudden you get all excited and you&#39;re feeling good and you get in the car and you go back up and then you turn on the radio and you get back with the people you&#39;ve been hanging out with and everything is going right down the toilet again that&#39;s why people go down there they act out this fantasy is there a need do you have to do that in order to to act out of but when you have to get away from all of this morbid type of hate and fear and guilt and shooting and killing and all of this stuff you go anywhere it&#39;s not the fact that it&#39;s Atlantic City it&#39;s not the fact that it&#39;s your vacation it&#39;s not the fact of a beautiful mountain or a lovely lake or it&#39;s nice and Key West it&#39;s the fact that you&#39;re away from where you&#39;ve been and all of the stresses and the stripes that come against you finally I&#39;m not there anymore even for an hour and that&#39;s what this does even for a half hour I have suddenly shut it down and I have moved out into this Cloud of Unknowing into a special place without being anywhere you have been a slave and I have been a slave to those three circles sadness fear and hurt beat us down and in many instances beats us down you want to take a look go in a hospital tomorrow just walk up and down the halls and look at them all laying there for why what happened where did it all come from and he said say you&#39;ll get healed go in and heal one of them go in with your your tracks and your Bibles heal one of them doesn&#39;t work that way rules don&#39;t work that way laws doesn&#39;t work that way and the god the creation nature was saying it doesn&#39;t have to be that way you&#39;ve made yourselves all sick by the way you&#39;ve lived because you&#39;ve lived out of this side you&#39;ve lived out here you&#39;ve never come to the center you know what the ban said I am against those escapists who escape from the world and become 24-hour meditators one hour is enough half hour is enough it&#39;ll illuminate you it&#39;s enough and the test of whether your meditation is successful or not is the test of whether your life is improved is your health better is your relationships with your kids better are your kids better is there better vibrations around your house do your animals sense it are things happier then your meditation is success I don&#39;t care how much you think I don&#39;t care how much you sit in meditation oh I couldn&#39;t get into it tonight you got into it because what&#39;s happening in your life how do you feel stronger how do you understand there&#39;s a lady that comes here Carol mon she you know her whole you could see it on her face just all changed because For the First time she&#39;s gotten in touch with herself she hasn&#39;t been told she&#39;s a worthless sinner she&#39;s been told there&#39;s something special in there and she touched it she was around she was taking up the offering today singing Hot Diggity Dog Diggity what was it boom what you do to me see in spite of the situation I&#39;m I&#39;m I&#39;m done I know I&#39;ve kept but I&#39;m in spite of the situation that you run into in spite of your feelings about the situation the question is did you come through it did you survive it did you make it did you win really even though you thought you were going to lose did you win did you send out a dove and the Dove came back with an olive branch and said hey I&#39;m still standing look at all the crisises in your life that was going to do you in here you are you made it in spite of it all well you protected did it come out right and constantly meditating constantly praying constantly reading the Bible is like preparing for an examination and never taking it you got Life to Live meditation is simply to prepare you so you can go out and do the job do the work raise the kids go to work do whatever you do but do it from a whole different and higher perspective do it from the center instead of doing it from the yeah six guys come tell you know love the Lord with all of your how could you love what what am I going to love a gas somewhere I don&#39;t even know what it is instead of understanding that when I say I love the Lord I love the very center of my own experience and I want it to be better and I want it to contribute and I want it to help and I want it to to do good for people meditation prepares you for a life experience and so you can go into life meditation will go with you so that you react properly in any c circumstances meditation is an exposure to that person that you&#39;ve been called God which is the center of your own being God then can give you what you&#39;re supposed to get so go forward into life and do the meditation and then you&#39;ll hear what Isaiah had to say in Isaiah 30: 21 and there you shall hear a word behind you saying this is the way walk in it when you turn to the right hand and when you turn to the left and you will will hear it you will hear it and you&#39;ll know what to do just as the dog knows how to give birth just as the seagull knows when it&#39;s time to head out from the sea and back to just as the as as the robin knows where your backyard is just as the Canadian goose know where aoko is you&#39;ll know just like a pilot who flies in in a thick fog over Kennedy Airport and knows right where the runway is because he focuses is on that Beacon Quick just put it on on on on on record wait one second just record you don&#39;t have to make it play just put it on record son okay that was us uh Ju Ju Just in all you plug into that Beacon which is deep inside of you and it will guide you to the runway it&#39;ll guide you to where you want to go always see always understand one thing nature understands this people don&#39;t begin to understand nature the one way to understand what we call God is to get a book about nature and begin reading it about the animals about about the birds about how they do things about instincts there&#39;s there&#39;s a book called The that I have at home called The Wonderful World of Nature and how nature is so intelligent and the reason is an animal doesn&#39;t have a choice to say I&#39;m not going to follow my instinct I&#39;m going to do this it follows it because it has to we have a choice and the Bible says I set before you a choice life or a curse you decide and we have chosen including religion we&#39;ve chosen the curse because we didn&#39;t know about the beacon we didn&#39;t know about the pineal that bird Finds Its way to your backyard because it&#39;s touched to the pineal gland of the brain a bird has a pineal gland of the brain am I right an animal has a pineal gland a migrating animal touches the pineal gland and it takes it right where it should go and nature never tricks it it never sends it in the wrong direction we go in the wrong direction because we don&#39;t know of the pineal the ancient says it&#39;s atrophied from nonuse because religion has scared us away from it but you now have an opportunity to say to religion and say Yes to God yes to Jesus yes to Buddha yes to to Krishna but mostly important yes to yourself yes to yourself and then show Jesus he was right you are something special and make yourself the very best you you could possibly be thank you very much and uh Joan will come on I think or whatever comes on comes on see you byebye that was very good that very good thank you hurry up hurry up tape okay just we have uh one of the parents was just recently in England and uh while while she was in England she found a series of books and it&#39;s all on questions like um where does the rain come from uh what how does a tree start you know questions that children ask like why why why why why and she brought home these series of books so in class that day Debbie was teaching them about the P the pineal gland and um the the two boys their twins told their mother on the way home that the lesson was about the pineal gland and what the pineal gland was Etc so she said well let&#39;s go to the books and look it up and the information was in the books so then the next Sunday uh the children brought the books in for Debbie to see the information that was contained so uh they bring the lessons home to the parents and most of the parents quiz them like what did you learn today uh they want to know what what the child learns that they can work with them during the week but I think that&#39;s really good that these these kids I mean they&#39;re they&#39;re 8 years old and they know what the pineal gland is maybe you should tell everybody what the pineal gland is well a pineal gland is a is a gland in the brain that actually is the point that Jesus was talking about that if your eye be single if you stimulate the Pineo gland it secretes a hormone called melatonin kills cancer cells and sets the time clock of the body and the ancient said it opens the right hemisphere of the brain so you know to to be able to get children to understand hey this thing called God put everything inside of your body and all you have to do is start paying attention to yourself respect yourself realize how special you are and and start following the instructions that Jesus gave us how do I make this thing work inside of me the first thing you have to do is stop being afraid of yourself and start lifting yourself up say I&#39;m a special person and I&#39;m going to do what Jesus said Buddha said Krishna said and I&#39;m going to make this work and then you&#39;ll see that thing which is called God Blossom within you so it&#39;s a long it&#39;s a long way to go because you know my God I just remember we have another book and this book is all about feelings and uh um and the child learns uh what anger is and that it&#39;s okay to be angry uh that how you can work your anger out they learn about happiness sadness that they we it goes through all the emotions and all of the feelings and it&#39;s really good because then you&#39;re not afraid to express them as you get older and the child can identify what those feelings are like how many people go through life and they can never identify a feeling so that&#39;s what that book is that whole all the lessons in that book are on feelings good okay well thank you very much and that&#39;s what we do and the reason that I wanted Joan to share that with you is because you don&#39;t have to bring children into a place where you&#39;re going to talk about God and then have them scared to death about devils and demons and hells that that don&#39;t exist but to teach them about that which is with ins side of them that does exist and can make them very very special into a beautiful life where they become one with nature and the animals and the Very Earth itself and then know what God is I am that one that beautiful place okay thank you very much and uh
