Thoughts Don't Belong To Anybody 
 Thoughts appear and disappear all by themselves, but there is no ownership to be claimed, because there is no owner. Close [x]
What is happening ? Molecules are merely moving in this movie we call Life. Close [x]
Everything is appearance only. No-thing actually exists in this dream state we call the movie. Close [x] 
 There was time, when awakening was the privilege of a few, and that era is coming to an end. It will come back, it's all cyclical, but that Kali Yuga age is coming to an end, and so awakening is on the internet, it's freely available, the steps are there, whether the steps will be taken or not, that's the flow. And it's not that "Oh, we know how to do it, so it will be possible !", it's more that the cycle of the earth, of manifestation, is moving into that part of the wheel, totally cyclical, whereby awakening is very possible. It's not as difficult as it was said in the scriptures, because the last time we came into the Kali Yuga age, I don't know if we got any scriptures in those times, not a whole lot. So it's much more accessible, there is a wave of awakening (...). (Questioner : I have some unexamined notions that we have to go through severe austerities, to burn up some of the deep things, and only a few can do that...). Yes. And that's how it was last thousands years, it was about spendind twelve years with your master before you get taught anything about Advaita, there were the structures, now there's a quickening. And it's not because the world is going to dissolve itself, it's not the whole thing will all be enlightened... rubbish, it's just an expression, it's just a manifestation that is unfolding... (Questioner : But the frequencies are more widespread, and maybe it's not as difficult...). Yes, it's not as difficult at all, no, no. Even the physiological alignment will be less than what it was for me and others in the past, the physical alignment is now more gentler, when for me, something like 3 years ago, there were rattling, shaking, disfuntion and inability to talk... So go for it ! (Laughter) And in the 'going for it', 'you' can't get it (Laughter). It's just a concept, a shift. But don't replace it with a concept that "it's easy". It's just that, that's how it was, point. Rest at the source of the next thought, that's all. Close [x]
Religion is placed on top of the Truth in order to make it accessible to more people and to protect the scripture. Mantras, gods, and meditation can help bring the mind to one point of focus, but eventually, one must drop underneath, and place attention on That which is underlying It all. At some point, it will be seen that all practices are perpetuating the idea that "I" have something to do. Place attention on That which is outside of the "I" story. Rest in what you are. Close [x]
You are your own Guru. In the movie, you have to take this path alone, because even if the Guru is followed, at a certain point, the teacher, the teachings, the whole lot becomes the obstacle (to realizing that You Are It; always and already). Close [x]
Suffering (or happiness) simply pass through what you Are. They don't happen to a personal "I". The personal "I" is only a thought. There is no ownership, only appearances. Close [x]
It's all in the movie. Even placing attention to what is prior to the movie, is in the movie. But somehow, the personal 'I' is seen to be total cause of suffering, and it disappears, when you stop paying attention to it, and you stop taking it to be real. And then somehow, the movie is just always seen to be the movie. (...) It's all concepts. It's all "the movie". Self-realization even happens in the movie. But what about the screen ? Close [x]
Yes, this is a movie. I'm All of IT. I'm You. You're me. But even Oneness is in the movie. You need two to say that all is one. What have you got left when you take away even One? Nothing. Close [x]
God is the Totality of Consciousness. Close [x]
I never was anything, because this dream called Life never actually happened. We only, and literally, imagine that it has happened. Perhaps that is the biggest illusion, believing we ever were. Close [x]
There's nothing wrong with the movie we call life. It is unfolding all by Itself. All is well. We are the screen, and therefore, have no need to worry about the fictional characters and events in the film. But worry not, compassion and love for All still arises. Close [x]
It passes. Just settle. It will pass. Be gentle with yourself. Close [x]
I see what you really Are. I see torture manifesting as thought. It's just an experience. Let it land on Love. Focus on the Love underneath the thoughts. The Love that is touched is not damaged. Love has a soft voice. Close [x]
Running from Softness, maintains the suffering. Give them (the tortuous thoughts) to me. You keep nothing. Let it go. Your punishment is over. All debts are cleared. Let Freedom come. Close [x]
I, Me, Mine...they all go. And what remains? There's just Stillness and Certainty going on afterwards. Close [x]
Before the movement of Duality, there is Love. Know that you are Love. Love yourself exquisitely and unconditionally. Close [x]
Let It take you. Things will be taken care of. You can't lose any ground. Just jump. Close [x]
Life-force Itself is an appearance within the movie. You are holding the whole show. The model that things take care of themselves is everywhere. Close [x]
What if anger and bliss were perceived as being the same thing? Would there ever arise then the desire to create a scenario where one would be preferred over the other ? There are many ornaments, but only one substance; gold. Before Enlightenment, chopping wood and carrying water. After Enlightenment, chopping wood and carrying water. It's All the same. Close [x]
The beliefs are the obstacle. The beliefs are creating and maintaining the false sense of "I". Close [x]
Drop the whole show. Rest Awareness in what you are. Place Attention in what you are. Maintaining a path is maintaining a sense of a separate "I". Close [x]
You're creating "fun" in your head. There is no linear time. This is as good as it gets. What's happening is lovely, fine, and easy. Close [x] Chicago, July 2009

 Jenny about difficult times, things getting really intense on the path. Jac : It was intense over a long period. Once realization started to happen, the intensity speed up, and towards the end of believing the thoughts to be true, towards the end of that apparent reality, ego got vicious, thoughts became vicious. Like anything that is dying, the pull towards life force, the pull to live also applies to the ego, it's an energetic structure that's in the brain. So of course it's going to fight for its life force, that's part of creation, resistance to death seems to be in all forms. Within the appearance of ego existence, its death was a vicious one for me. And at that time, the only thing I could anchor to is "this will pass, and that could be going crazy but that's ok, I could end up in a psychiatric hospital and that's gonna be alright too. It was total surrender, even to that, because it will take everything, and it feels it takes everything, but it's only what you're not. But if you spent your own life believing what you're not, then of course it is everything, the paradox is at play there. So one thing to be carefull of, is not going into self-pity, because that energy will fatten the ego. If that energy is inviting itself, don't go there. Just let your anchor be surrender, and what is happening will pass. Because all states that are part of this 'process' are passing, are transcient, and the crazyness, the intensity will pass too. Something underneath it is taking care of all, is taking care of what you really are. Jenny : In the end, does the mind gives up ? Jac : Yes. The personal objective mind gets burnt, it gets destroyed by what you are, by the life force of ther natural state, that which arises from grace, that what you are is pulling it home, and it just keep screaming. (...) Close [x]

Go back to knowing that it is simple. The fun is in the busy-ness as long as it's fun for you. And when you see that it's just more of the same stories, all about 'me', drop it. You can observe what goes on benignely, but keep going. From the position of observer, take that last step. Who's the one observing ? Go there. Who is that ultimate, absolute observer, where 'seeing itself' arises from ? Let attention rest there. Let it be ok that nothing has happening. Let the show be over, let the movie, the story of 'I' as an individual person, be over. And see what happens. Truth will reveal itself, absolute clarity of how this matrix works, will show itself to be no more than a matrix. And somehow, a capacity to enjoy what ever is unfolding is always there. You don't have to be perfect, you don't have to have good health, you don't have to do it before your body dies, it's got nothing to do with anything : it's right now, place your attention behind any stories, any concepts. From there, freedom arises, beauty arises, love arises. But don't take my word for it, do it. And prove me wrong, I'd be delighted. I'll take on that challenge any day (laughter). Do it and find out. So blessings on all of us, who're pretending to be human. Close [x]
