SUMMARY
The talk closes a season of monthly tapes and announces a journal to carry the 'ever-moving truth' forward. What counts is not collecting recordings but playing them until listening matures from selective hearing into still, receptive awareness. The purpose of sensuous existence is uninterrupted cosmic consciousness, which requires power to overcome the world's gravity without avoidance, by living love and truth.
He leads a precise descent through sensation: feel scalp, face, tongue, throat; follow the tongue into the torso; settle into the 'bottom of the bottle'—waist to thighs—then through knees to feet, making one inner piece. In this assembled body, one discovers 'thee': the tender, innocent goodness that has never left, the source of authority able to stand the blackness—pure death that is pure Life.
He warns against recalling the past, which summons 'spooks' of dead emotion. Like the East burning its dead, one must let awareness burn residues rather than be burned by them. Love is proved by the ability to tell one's partner anything, everything; secrecy breeds psychic agitation and discontent, which is a sign of dishonesty. Finally, he distinguishes depressive, personal emptiness from impersonal, embracing space and counsels staying in embodied space.
