SUMMARY
Barry opens the weekend as an exercise of stillness, he directs the inner attention through the body: drop shoulders, hands, neck; feel the solar plexus; be easy. Learn to dwell 'within and without' at once—hearing the bird while feeling the centre. Meditation is taught as containment and surrender, not thought. The mind is projective, wilful, and restless; it cannot meditate. Meditation is the diminution and eventual cessation of thought until only stillness remains. In that stillness, love appears—not as attachment to objects or bodies, but as unconditioned presence. Attachment is severed; true love is revealed.
