Talk Takeaways

We are presently cut off from the larger world that we're meant to be a part of.

Whenever we think of what a larger world may be, we are only in the world of thought without knowing it. Our mind only knows how to imagine a larger world.

The larger world is above us, beneath us, and awareness of above and below at the same time.

Complaining about life is not the same as putting an end to the activity of the mind that doesn't want what it is experiencing.

"To those who are awake, there is one ordered universe common (to all), whereas in sleep each man turns away (from this world) to one of his own." -- Heraclitus

It is possible to love your neighbor as yourself because there is a world that is common to all.

Every last thing is being brought into balance, which is what creation is. As above, so below. In the common is the celestial.

The center of the beauty that a person sees is within the person observing it. That center is everywhere and it is not a place. There can't be the experience of a center that is everywhere if there is something in you that is fixed.

We are not intended to be the ones who balance our own lives.

The feeling of pressure within us is the conflict of the two forces of wanting and not-wanting at the same time.

Your life cannot come undone unless you get caught up in trying to ensure that you are the center of life.

The center of all things is in the observer of all things.

Anxiety and rushing are both part of a nature that is looking for balance. It does not see that it cannot create the balance that already exists.

The center is that which unites the interior and the exterior.

Use the feeling of imbalance to become aware of the balance that already exists.

Creation is never-endingly being reconciled. Creation in passing time is chaos that is forever being brought into balance.
