when it comes to those moments when life 00:00:44

when it comes to those moments when life really seems to be going to take us away 00:00:44

really seems to be going to take us away 00:00:46

really seems to be going to take us away and the stream of change is going to 00:00:46

and the stream of change is going to 00:00:49

and the stream of change is going to swallow us completely the moment of 00:00:49

swallow us completely the moment of 00:00:50

swallow us completely the moment of death and we think oh oh this is it this 00:00:50

death and we think oh oh this is it this 00:00:59

death and we think oh oh this is it this is the end 00:00:59

is the end 00:01:01

is the end and so a death we withdraw say no no no 00:01:01

and so a death we withdraw say no no no 00:01:06

and so a death we withdraw say no no no not that not not not yet please but 00:01:06

not that not not not yet please but 00:01:18

not that not not not yet please but actually the whole problem is that it 00:01:18

actually the whole problem is that it 00:01:24

actually the whole problem is that it really is no other problem for human 00:01:24

really is no other problem for human 00:01:27

really is no other problem for human beings than to go over that waterfall 00:01:27

beings than to go over that waterfall 00:01:34

beings than to go over that waterfall when it comes just as you go over any 00:01:34

when it comes just as you go over any 00:01:38

when it comes just as you go over any other waterfall just as you go on from 00:01:38

other waterfall just as you go on from 00:01:41

other waterfall just as you go on from day to day just as you go to sleep at 00:01:41

terrible thing comes that's not the idea 00:02:04

terrible thing comes that's not the idea at all point is that you can only die 00:02:04

at all point is that you can only die 00:02:08

at all point is that you can only die well if you understand the system of 00:02:08

well if you understand the system of 00:02:14

well if you understand the system of waves if you understand that your 00:02:14

waves if you understand that your 00:02:21

waves if you understand that your disappearance as the form in which you 00:02:21

disappearance as the form in which you 00:02:24

disappearance as the form in which you think you are you your disappearance as 00:02:24

think you are you your disappearance as 00:02:27

think you are you your disappearance as this particular organism is simply 00:02:27

that you are just as much the dark space 00:02:38

that you are just as much the dark space 00:02:47

that you are just as much the dark space beyond death as you are the light 00:02:47

beyond death as you are the light 00:02:52

beyond death as you are the light interval called life these are just two 00:02:52

interval called life these are just two 00:02:57

interval called life these are just two sides of you because you is the total 00:02:58

sides of you because you is the total 00:03:04

sides of you because you is the total wave see you can't have half a wave 00:03:04

00:03:09

nobody ever saw waves which just had 00:03:09

nobody ever saw waves which just had 00:03:12

nobody ever saw waves which just had crests no troughs so you can't have half 00:03:12

crests no troughs so you can't have half 00:03:19

crests no troughs so you can't have half a human being who is born but doesn't 00:03:19

a human being who is born but doesn't 00:03:23

a human being who is born but doesn't die half a thing that would be only half 00:03:23

die half a thing that would be only half 00:03:26

die half a thing that would be only half a thing but the propagation of 00:03:26

a thing but the propagation of 00:03:31

a thing but the propagation of vibrations and life is vibration it 00:03:31

vibrations and life is vibration it 00:03:34

vibrations and life is vibration it simply goes on and on but it's cycles 00:03:34

simply goes on and on but it's cycles 00:03:36

simply goes on and on but it's cycles are long cycles and short cycles 00:03:36

space you see is not just nothing if I 00:03:42

space you see is not just nothing if I 00:03:49

space you see is not just nothing if I could magnify my hand to an enormous 00:03:49

could magnify my hand to an enormous 00:03:53

could magnify my hand to an enormous degree so that you could see all the 00:03:53

degree so that you could see all the 00:03:56

degree so that you could see all the molecules in it I don't know how far 00:03:56

molecules in it I don't know how far 00:03:59

molecules in it I don't know how far apart they would be but it seems to me 00:03:59

apart they would be but it seems to me 00:04:02

apart they would be but it seems to me there would be something like tennis 00:04:02

there would be something like tennis 00:04:03

there would be something like tennis balls in a very very large space and you 00:04:03

balls in a very very large space and you 00:04:10

balls in a very very large space and you would look when I move my hand like this 00:04:10

would look when I move my hand like this 00:04:13

would look when I move my hand like this say for God's sake look at all those 00:04:13

crazy and the no strings tying them 00:04:20

crazy and the no strings tying them together that we're know but the space 00:04:20

together that we're know but the space 00:04:26

together that we're know but the space going with them and space is a function 00:04:26

going with them and space is a function 00:04:30

going with them and space is a function of or it's an inseparable aspect of 00:04:30

they're like the molecules in my hand so then you see here's the principle when 00:05:21

then you see here's the principle when 00:05:26

then you see here's the principle when you don't resist change I mean over 00:05:26

you don't resist change I mean over 00:05:31

that they are delivered they are liberated by the very fact of not being 00:06:11

liberated by the very fact of not being 00:06:14

liberated by the very fact of not being able to stop changing you can't hang on 00:06:14

able to stop changing you can't hang on 00:06:21

able to stop changing you can't hang on to yourself you don't have to try not to 00:06:21
