Do THIS Under Pressure....

[00:02:40] So it's like holding your fist tight.
[00:06:21] See how long you can do that for.
[00:09:05] And then then, do that for a little while and then feel what it feels like when you let go.
[00:13:30] It's like, that's just... it's so easy. It's effortless.
[00:16:79] This is very difficult. This is humanity.
[00:22:15] It's very difficult. Takes a lot of effort to do that.
[00:32:51] Today, I've just been
[00:35:59] focusing on trying to
[00:37:44] soften and open more
[00:40:53] instead of contracting, which is my habit.
[00:45:10] How's that working for you?
[00:49:57] actually challenging, but
[00:52:19] Why?
[00:54:33] 'Cause I've really badly wanna close.
[01:03:00] It's the instinct to recoil.
[01:10:80] A single-cell organism,
[01:12:47] when touched with a needle,
[01:14:48] will recoil.
[01:16:58] That's what it feels like.
[01:19:48] It's natural to move away from the source of pain or the heat or the trouble.
[01:26:35] Or the threat.
[01:29:99] and that's natural throughout your whole system. We've evolved from
[01:34:39] you know, the body, the souls of the body have evolved from,
[01:38:64] all of this for eons. So your natural inclination is to retract and perhaps close.
[01:44:48] So this is a retraining of of of your whole system to remaining open under all pressures.
[01:52:62] Under all threats or under all dangers, never closing.
[01:59:438] when mastered to be able to go wider when things like this happen.
[02:08:708] You see, so it's absolutely natural that you want to recoil as in the survival organism has, that's how it got here.
[02:18:78] That's how come we're, we're speaking.
[02:28:888] it's the next stage.
[02:31:38] Yeah. So from, you know, Homo Sapiens, as Dr. Hawkins called it, to Homo Spiritus, as he liked to call it. The next level,
[02:39:698] the next step.
[02:42:158] Or as Osho called it, the new man, the new woman.
[02:45:268] In the world,
[02:47:978] while the world's in them.
[03:05:138] So that means you stay open.
[03:12:868] and go wider, because if when you close and you contract, you're the,
[03:17:158] you, you're narrowing the pipe that the,
[03:21:28] pain is trying to leave through and therefore
[03:23:768] it rubs and it gets caught and it gets jammed and it hurts.
[03:29:18] The wider you go, the less it hurts.
[03:32:168] The less difficulty arises, the less you get trapped in smallness and thought.
[03:46:788] your instinct is to close and you just have to rewrite that, that code, that software.
[03:52:668] With practice.
[03:59:758] I guess also, like I know there's a part of me that enjoys being small.
[04:06:588] that's also a default. So it's
[04:13:588] Well, because it seems safe, see?
[04:17:758] Like a skater, right?
[04:19:968] Curls up.
[04:25:218] The slater skater.
[04:40:248] Slater curls up, right?
[04:42:588] So, it shrivels up. But this is staying open because you discover something, all the things that you're running and hiding from are, it's they're imaginary.
[04:52:958] They're not real.
[05:01:978] Right? And, and so you don't need to close up because there's nothing real there that you need to be afraid of.
[05:21:408] So you really need to practice staying big and being big and make that your new way.
[05:29:858] Which is again, factual,
[05:33:488] not asking you to do something that's untrue.
[05:43:408] That is the facts.
[05:56:558] We're also trained, let alone the ecosystem, we're trained by our society, our school teachers, our family, our friends, to be small and fit into a container,
[06:04:278] fit into the cookie cutter. Yeah, the cookie cutter.
[06:07:238] None of us fit into the cookie cutter, really.
[06:10:48] So, but we're trained to and we're condemned if we don't.
[06:13:418] We're ridiculed if we don't. We're laughed at by our school kid friends if we
[06:17:808] are not like them and not copying each other.
[06:22:968] four, I say 13, 14 year old girls walking down the street today on their way to the beach and
[06:28:188] they were all dressed identically.
[06:31:288] Denim shorts, boob tube, same hair, everything.
[06:35:458] Four of them walking along. It's like, there it is.
[06:38:158] The mimicking. Everyone's mimicking each other.
[06:40:348] You step outside of that. I mean,
[06:41:818] I'm sure they could have wore different clothes, but you get the idea. Everyone's mimicking, and if you're outside of that
[06:47:318] paradigm, you're ridiculed and and and exercised, you're pushed away.
[06:53:18] So, this has been happening on all levels.
[06:58:18] And you're not enough, you're not going to compete with all these models you're seeing in the new stands when you're a kid walking by and
[07:04:198] all the ads popping into your feeds on your social media of all these glamorous people
[07:09:478] winning at everything they do.
[07:13:38] The whole thing's set up for you to be small.
[07:18:238] And compete.
[07:23:48] So why wouldn't you want to go small when things get tough?
[07:30:808] It's up to you to
[07:32:158] fix that.
[07:33:438] Heal that. And it's not a doing, it's actually a surrendering.
[07:36:998] If you were able to surrender when this difficulty was happening, that is opening up.
[07:41:248] If you were able to let go, that is an opening up.
[07:43:928] You're actually doing something, holding small.
[07:55:768] You completely let go into the full expression of self.
[08:12:358] It's a not doing.
[08:14:148] It's a stopping of the doing.
[08:17:748] A letting go of the doing.
[08:25:618] So, it's like holding your fist tight.
[08:29:48] See how long you can do that for.
[08:32:8] And then, then do that for a little while and then feel what it feels like when you let go.
[08:36:918] It's like, that's just, it's so easy. It's effortless.
[08:40:488] This is very difficult. This is humanity.
[08:45:628] It's very difficult. It takes a lot of effort to do that.
[08:49:558] It's what I'm talking about, just
[08:51:288] that.
[09:07:658] So, essentially removing the difficulty. Let it go.
[09:12:48] It's okay.
[09:13:848] You're safe.
[09:15:208] I promise you, you're safe.
[09:37:798] Safer than the other option of closing and going small.
[09:43:188] It leads to, um, lacking clarity,
[09:46:898] which means
[09:47:908] you lack good decision-making skills, which means you end up in
[09:52:508] deeper depths of danger than you would otherwise.
[10:03:628] You can't see things that are obvious to somebody that's living openly and quiet.
[10:11:808] You you you're blinded.
[10:14:388] It's far more dangerous.
[10:22:18] That's a fact.
[10:35:668] So you recoil from shadows and you put yourself in more danger.
[10:41:608] Stay open.
[10:51:308] Thoughts,
[10:52:388] shadows, feelings, emotions,
[10:55:728] stay open.
[11:17:518] And then you may feel a little bit of resistance to it, but surrender that too.
[11:23:648] You may feel fear to with the idea of what it represents. Let go of that too. Surrender that too.
[11:37:378] Hand it all back to God. Yeah.
[11:39:518] Okay, God, you built all this.
[11:43:838] I'm going to let you have it. You, you run it. I'm just going to enjoy.
[11:54:198] I'm going to watch
[11:55:828] what you've created.
[12:00:548] And in that you, you get closer and closer and closer until there's a merging.

• Recoil Instinct
  The primal, single-cell organism's programming to contract away from perceived threats or pain; the default software for survival that must be rewritten for Direct Realization.
• Staying Open
  A technical retraining of the entire system to remain expanded and non-resistant, especially under pressure, allowing pain to pass through without friction.
• Rewriting the Code
  The process of deconstructing and replacing conditioned biological and social software (e.g., the recoil instinct) with fact-based reality.
• Going Wider
  The advanced practice of actively expanding one's presence and awareness when a threat appears, which lessens the friction of suffering by increasing the volume of the 'pipe'.
• The Cookie Cutter
  The social and familial domestication that forces individuals into a small, mimicked, and inauthentic container, reinforcing the pattern of contraction.
• A Not-Doing
  The cessation of effortful activity, such as 'holding small.' True surrender is a 'not-doing,' an effortless letting go of the tension that defines the ego-structure.
• Imaginary Threats
  The ego-generated shadows, thoughts, and projections that the system recoils from, which have no factual substance upon direct investigation.
• The Full Expression of Self
  The natural, uncontracted state of being that is revealed when the 'doing' of holding onto smallness ceases.
• Surrender
  The skillful means of handing over a pattern, feeling, or situation to unconditioned consciousness ('God'), thereby ceasing personal interference and allowing an opening.
• Fact-Based Reality
  The objective truth of a situation, distinct from the ego's fearful interpretations. Staying open is aligning with the fact that you are already vast and safe.
