**Note: Truth does not always sound pleasant. If the mind is not really peaceful now, it might not be a perfect moment to listen to this podcast, one has to be aware of the emotions or reactions that can block one from listenING ATTENTIVELY and with HUMILITY. This talk is a meditation practice. What one needs to do is listen attentively, without getting stuck in words, examine the mind in silence, nor agree or disagree, just look at the mind as it is. Doing so is already a meditation practice.

Transcript

To live life at this moment,

The mind has to be subtle to see how the concrete is mixed up with the abstract and the concrete becomes the self-deception.

The only thing the mind can do is to observe,

To really see which is abstract,

Which is the concrete,

The images,

The thoughts.

In that observance,

The mind is very clear,

Totally awake.

This is the whole process,

All meditation as life.

To observe,

To learn ourselves at each moment,

Not through the images,

Thoughts,

Like theories,

Conclusions,

Books.

They are all secondhand.

To observe means that we have to do it in person,

Without relying on any sources.

This means that the mind must be alone.

In that aloneness,

The mind is free of the influences.

So,

New filters between the mind and the things the mind is observing.

And only in that aloneness,

We can really understand ourselves.
