Discovering Truth
At the heart of this talk is a simple truth—reality is not found in thought, worries, or external distractions, it is here, now, in the direct experience of being the body and the senses. The state is found through entering the sensation and in the acknowledgement of being this simple, beautiful body. By seeing this truth and taking responsibility for our own state of being we can begin to free ourselves from the conditioning of the mind that keeps us trapped in unhappiness.

EPISODE NOTES
Extracts from this talk:
'Where that body is, is where I am, and if I think I want to be somewhere else, then I am dual. I am at war with my body. I am at war with life that put me here so I will know pain and suffering, because I cannot be where I am.'
'Reality has to be now. It has to be or it's not reality. Can't be something tomorrow. It can't be something yesterday. It has to be now.'
'There is only one life in the universe, and I am that. Feel your sensation please, feel what's in there. Who else is feeling that? It's only your imagination that makes you think anyone else feels that, you feel it. You and you alone. There is only one life in the universe, and I am that, as I am the only I. Right. Can we stand this truth? Is it too much for you?'
