The Truth

James — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 23:45:11 +0000

You will never figure out what awakening is. No one ever does. It's impossible.

Sanity

James — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 21:14:26 +0000

From a talk given by James in 2008 I want to talk about sanity. Somehow I feel more sane when I don't talk about it. The silence feels really good. I was editing some talks from the summer and I remember that someone brought up something about doing this work and having a sense of fear of letting go of the known, a sense of falling or letting go that feels like a loss, like you're losing your mind. It can feel that way. What really happens is you don't lose your mind. Awakening is losing the mind's ability to control you.

Where It Stops
