Invest In The Stock Market of Awakening: 2-5 Seconds For The Rest Of Your Life
So when I say 2-5 seconds, I mean: radically
stop all imaginal activities for 2-5 seconds. If you do that —genuinely— you only have to do
it 2-5 times an hour for the rest of your life. That's a very small fraction that's required,
to exit the gravitational force of Maya. Maya is very kind, it's very generous. Of course it
needs to be convincing, otherwise it wouldn't serve its purpose. So we can't blame Maya
for being so darn convincing. If anything, we should lightly, gently, spank ourselves
for not spending 4-10 seconds an hour—stopping all imaginal activities and recognizing the divine
essence of I-Am. Because that's all it takes. Take a deep breath—and relax. Take another deep breath, and relax. Take another energizing empowering breath— and relax. Two to five seconds, 2-5 times per
hour—for the rest of your life. That's really it; nothing else to tell you. Everything else I've ever said is just
because you don't fucking do that. It's so powerful when you do it frequently. If you set aside an hour—not even
set it aside, that's the wrong term. You just live your life, you don't set anything
aside; but you overcommit to something for one hour, you overcommit to 2-5 seconds.
So
you do 2-5 seconds 2-5 times per minute, just for one hour, once a week. And then the rest
of the week you do 2-5 seconds 2-5 times an hour. But to have that intensity; it's like chopping
wood, like chopping down a tree—just get it done. Like don't let it regrow every
day. Just get it done. Chop, pause, pull back, swing, chop, pause, pull back,
swing, chop, pause. Just keep going. The tree will come down. The illusion will come down. But if
you just do one or two chops, and then you get distracted, someone offers you a cup of coffee
or you see a squirrel, squirrel… squirrel… And then you come back to it two weeks
later—it's like regrown and then some. So, you just commit for an
hour a week to chopping wood… I'm not even going to ask you to carry water,
like that'd be cruel.
Just chop the wood, just for an hour, and then—get it done. But
even 2-5 times per hour, a 2-5 second window, is pretty much frequent enough, where
every occurrence is close enough in proximity of space time attention
deficit disorder, as we all suffer from, there's enough of a carryover in that
to generate a compounding effect. A lot of these practices they really only benefit
you—in a permanent sense—if you compound them. You know, and for those who are maybe into the
investing world, or stock market, or even the crypto market, or anything really of that nature
of compounding interest and so forth; you'll see it's the consistency and it's the compounding that
really adds up, that really creates that freedom of being over the hump in some way, shape, or
form. Whereas if you just —every once in a while— invest yourself in whatever
it is, whether financially or spiritual practice, there is not enough carryover,
there's not enough, there's too much space between the investments to really compound.
And then
there's a lot of loss usually, in between these investments, in between these moments
of recognition. And then usually people get a little bored with these kinds of practices,
because "why would I do it again, I've already been doing it for two years," well not really
been doing it for two years, but I've been, you know once a week I've remembered to do 2-5
seconds.
And so after two years, I feel like I'm not really cutting any new ground with that
particular practice. So, I would rather ask for a question about how to change this in my life
or this or that. And that's all fine and good. But what's lacking is the compounding effect that
you generate with a high frequency investment in spiritual practice. And you will start to see this with as little
as 2-5 seconds, 2-5 times an hour. There's enough carryover power in that, the proximity of
these moments of recognition of, these moments of exiting the Matrix for just 2-5 seconds, the
proximity of that, in that formula, is close enough to one another, to build upon the previous
attempt. And it's like digging a well for water, instead of digging a 1000 wells of one or two
scoops, you just take one well of a 1000 scoops or 2000 scoops, and then you will reach the
well, you will reach the water. And that's not going to be lost on you, that's going to
stay there. But these other little puddles, they're just going to disappear, you won't see
them back.
You won't even know where you cut previously, you got to learn the same teaching all
over again, have the same insight all over again, go through the same forgetting process and seeking
process, frustration process and ultimate Eureka aha moment process, and then you're inspired
but then the frequency doesn't carry you over, it doesn't anchor it in, it doesn't settle in
the roots of the tree of mind, as Ra would say. So, either take it intensely into the
depths, into the silence of your heart, or do it very frequently, either very intensely,
somewhat sporadically, but then it's got to be really intense—meaning intensely quiet, intensely
desirous, intensely focused, at the exclusion of all else; if you do that once a week, it
would be as effective roughly, approximately, as it would be if you do 2-5 seconds,
easy easy, easy peasy, casual moment, of no thoughts, 2-5 seconds, 2-5 times an hour, for that week; would have a similar
effect as a two hour, super intense, at the exclusion of all else focus on silent
presence.
And of course you can combine them too. I mean, why not? If this is what you want, right?
If this is what we want, then we would combine it. And find something that works for the
way that you distract yourself usually, like don't try to fight that too much.
Overtime, learn to control it more, learn to direct it more—but just kind of
roll with the handicaps that you've got. Meaning; if you know that you're going to
be distracted and super busy during the day, then make it a habit to every morning when
you wake up for 10 or 15 minutes tune in. And every day before you go to bed for 10 to 15
minutes when you're in bed. That's fine if that's the strategy that works for you. In fact, I
recommend that architecture for everybody. The waking up and the before you go to
sleep are sort of very crucial times, and they can have a profound impact on your
practice, on your realization, your stability, your freedom, the consistency, the compounding
effect of it all, the lasting effects of it all. So, upon waking up and before you go to sleep, I
would say practice 10-15 minutes or however long you want until you fall asleep for instance,
or until you feel energized and clear in the morning—until you feel like you are back in
control of your own consciousness, and it's not just some random thought that you woke up
with, because of a dream, or because of something yesterday, or because of something on your to-do
list, but you are in charge of your own presence, where you feel present to your own presence.
That's what clarity is, I Am that I Am, I am conscious of the fact that I
Exist.
And therefore, I'm in charge, I'm the governor of my world, I'm the governor of
my body, of my mind, of my world. I Am that I Am, I Am that I Am. When you feel you're back
in charge of yourself, not conceptually, but actually just that clear feeling of presence; Soul contact, God contact. Then you
get up and you will naturally get up, because you'll get inspired in some way, shape
or form.
You'll feel an inspiration to move; to just be, to share, to be with people
or to do something, have a coffee, continue your tune in with yourself
maybe, or go to work, whatever you do, and share the joy there. But clear yourself
of all the dream stuff when you wake up, so that you're back to clear, present,
here and now; that was that, this is now, and you do the same thing before you go to bed;
let the dream stuff of the day go, until you're clear and you fall asleep. And then throughout
the day, 2-5 seconds, 2-5 times an hour. And if you're really diehard you can do
once a week, or more often, as you wish; a two-hour segment where you're at
the exclusion of everything else, you conjure up a desire to go deeper, to see
yourself clearer than you've ever seen yourself before, and let that be the declaration of your
meditation.
To see yourself more clearly, to know thyself more clearly, more cleanly, more purely,
more free of any distraction, attribute, quality, as you've ever seen yourself before. And then
you sit with that and only that, and then you sit with that and only that, and then you sit with
that and only that—at the exclusion of all else. If you combine those three; the diehard, two
to three-hour, at the exclusion of all else once a week, 2-5 seconds, 2-5 times
per hour for the rest of your life, and the 10 minutes or so upon waking up, and
before you fall asleep, then you're golden. And you can work that pretty much around your
handicaps, your distractions, your distortions, your tendencies, your habits. That kind of
architecture doesn't have to get in the way of what you're used to, it doesn't have to
start fighting your existing patterns, it can just kind of navigate around it,
but leave a profound impact—nonetheless. And then, slowly slowly, for the most part, the state will shift of where your
identity is naturally placed.
So, right now, maybe, maybe not for some of you, but
for the most part, probably to some degree still, the idea is in your own mind, in your own
sense perception that you are the person, that you are the body walking around the
world, and that you as that person are sometimes pausing your interaction with
that world, and are recognizing Presence, Consciousness, Awareness, I Am
that I Am, as sort of a background. So, if this mural behind me for instance,
represents Awareness, the background behind me, and then my here character, this guy with the
hat and the cigar and clothes on, thank God, is in front of that background, then the
experience is, for most people, that if they start doing spiritual practices like I just suggested,
is that I over here, are going to pause my activity over here for a second, to just kind of
recognize and sense and remember this background. But in Truth, that very Awareness which is
looking through the eyes of this character, is that background, same essence, it's that force,
that energy.
It's that Sentience. So in Truth, the background is just remembering itself, from
the illusory point of view of the character perspective, the bodily perspective. So, but
what happens is kind of like this torus from the back through the eyes back onto itself.
But what happens when we do that plenty, and we compound that by doing it frequently
enough to where the distance between one gap and the other gap in the Matrix isn't
too big to fill back up with stuff. But we keep digging a little bit more, we
keep digging at a higher pace than that the illusion can keep up with us Awakening,
because it's kind of a, a race, between how fast you wake up, how fast you accelerate,
versus how fast the illusion sucks you in. Does that make sense? So, not to stress you out
or anything, you don't have to be adrenalized all day long, trying to recognize Awareness, but
it is a little bit like a race of momentum. And it's not that hard to break that spell.
It's
like a rocket escaping the gravitational field of planet Earth, it's going to take some effort at
first. But then as the atmosphere gets lighter, and gravity becomes less intense, because of
the distance of the object that's radiating its own locational frequency, which is rubbing off on
the frequency locational variable of the object, which in this case is the rocket, therefore,
there's less of what we call gravity; at some point it's going to be
experienced, like there is no gravity, you're just in the space. Before
that you were trying to get to space, the character is trying to recognize space, beyond
the clouds it must be so beautiful, let me try to get beyond the clouds, beyond the atmosphere,
beyond all the debris and the smog and… And then you get there, and then you're there.
The
space is, and the clouds don't bother you anymore, they're not really there. Similarly, to
break through into greater effortlessness, for your practice to become more and more
automatic and natural, that state shift of identity shifting from the bodily sense, which is
the illusion always trying to take over control, that's its nature, its nature is to be convincing. And every moment, you take a 2-5 seconds
interrupting the Matrix, interrupting your world consciousness and your body consciousness, just
for 2-5 seconds, just pausing all imagination. That's really what it is, radically, and
everything is imagination: thinking, referencing, looking at objects, describing something,
watching a movie, talking to a friend, you're all referencing it—it only appears to you because
you're thinking about it, you're imagining it. Everything exists in your imagination only.
You've never experienced a world without first imagining that object right there, without
first referencing it in your imagination or mind. So, that's the only place you actually
know of a world, is in whatever you're referencing right now, whatever you're
pointing to with the power of your mind, a.k.a whatever your imagination is going
to.
You can call it a physical world, but your imagination is going out to it first,
before you see the physical world. So literally everything exists as your imagination;
it's the only thing we can say for sure. The rest is assumption. That there's actually
an object behind what I'm imagining, is just an assumption. But what I can say for sure, is that
I'm experiencing whatever I'm imagining. In other words, I'm experiencing whatever I'm placing
my attention on. But that's imagination. So, the structure behind that is that it's
made to seem real and convincing. Now, if I take a break from that for 2-5 seconds,
I just radically stop, I become so present that I stop imagining left, right, up,
down, past, future, you, me—I just stop, just stop for 2-5 seconds, all
imagination ends. And there's just I Am, there's just Presence, Being, just
that 2-5 seconds, 2-5 times an hour. Now, each such moment has its own momentum.
It's like making an investment. And now you've invested a portion of yourself
in the stock market of Awakening. You've invested yourself in Awakening.
But then you want to compound that, you want to take the benefit you get from
that and reinvest it again in Awakening, that's the other 2-5 seconds that you do
a little bit later on.
And then you want to take some of the profits up, you want to
scrape some of that, and put it back into—the stock market of Awakening. Now at the same time,
the illusion is always working against you, because you're paying fees while you're investing.
If you're not making any new moves, you're still paying fees, you're still using services, you're
still, you know, your investment will over time, drain out. You have to, you know, pay for your
rent and all that stuff. So, if you're not making more than you're depleting over
time, naturally by the nature of illusion, then you're not going to
exit the state of poverty. And in this case, spiritual poverty or Awakening
poverty. So there is the force of Maya, if you will, the convincing nature of form and
illusion suggesting that it exists out there. And then there's your moments of Awakening.
Now
you want to compound those moments, as frequently as you can, to maximize your benefit. To become
spiritually abundant, Awakening rich. Rich in Awakening—Awakeness. Rich in freedom, abundant in
clarity, wealthy in Knowing God. So, it doesn't take much, it doesn't take much.
I just told you it takes 2-5 seconds, 2-5 times an hour for the rest of your life. That's not
a lot. So you see the power of Consciousness, or Self-Awareness is much greater than
the power of illusion, or forgetfulness. Because even four to ten seconds out
of every hour, and I'm not sure how many seconds there are in an hour of the top
of my head. But that's, you know, that's a very small fraction that's required, to exit the
gravitational force of Maya.
Maya is very kind, it's very generous. Of course it needs to
be convincing, otherwise it wouldn't serve its purpose, so we can't blame Maya for being so
darn convincing. If anything, we should lightly, gently, spank ourselves, for not spending
four to ten seconds an hour stopping all imaginal activities, and recognizing the divine
essence of I Am. Because that's all it takes. It's the minimum threshold to exit
the gravitational field of Maya. Now you could do it more often of course. You could do it more frequently. And then you'd
see more gains, you'd get more spiritually abundant faster, it's really up to you.
I'm
just giving you sort of a minimum baseline, to exit the gravitational forces of the illusion. And that's really all it takes, a genuine
2-5 second moment 2-5 times an hour. So, on the top end that's 25 seconds an hour. And on the low end, that
would be four seconds an hour. Either way it's not much. So, quite literally, if you spend 1% of
your time, not focused on the illusion, that's already enough to break free of it.
Just
one percent. So, work on your architectures, work on the intentionality of your day-to-day
life. But you got to understand this does not work if you spent those 2-5 seconds, 2-5 times
an hour, on what you dreamed about last night, or on this amazing blue light that you saw in the
sky, or this awesome state of loving everybody. That might be the best one out of all
of these, or the least self indulgent. It only works if you stop all imagination
for 2-5 seconds, 2-5 times an hour. Because Awakening is what you wake
up to, when you stop thinking — when you stop imagining a world, which includes
a body, and a mind, and a personality that's in love with ETs, or that's in love with blue
lights in the sky, or that's in love with whatever you're in love with or fascinated by.
There's this whole domain within the illusion called spirituality, that has nothing to do
with Awakening. It's another convincing layer. So, when I say 2-5 seconds, I mean, radically
stop all imaginal activities for 2-5 seconds. If you do that —genuinely— you only have to do it 2-5 times an hour for the rest
of your life—and that's plenty. Because in that moment, in that single
moment, you will realize what You are, or at least you'll give it the
most amount of chance that it has. And then what happens that as I was getting
to still, is that the background becomes itself again; it realizes that it's just the
background looking through the eyes.
So now, when you practice, or when you forget, or when
you're a little sloppy, or when you are very concentrated, or whatever your state might be, on
sort of this human interactional level, it's more and more like you're looking—you're the background
looking at the character talking, speaking. Rather than being the character, having to stop talking
or speaking in order to recognize the background. So you become more steady, more stable
like the background, like the mural. Just gazing, looking, knowing, Being. And then whatever you call practice or
meditation, becomes easier, and easier, and easier, and easier, and more and
more obvious, and more and more natural. And this helps shift your identity out of
the body and into Presence or Awareness. Transcribed by https://otter.ai.
