"What would be happening if you couldn't describe what's happening? If all language dropped away, all description dropped away — who would you be without the description of who you are?" Recorded 5/16/2011 in San Francisco. We are happy to offer these podcasts for free, and are grateful when you donate to support our organization. Thank you!
"Let's say the body is a vehicle for discovery, an instrument. How is it that we use this body, so often, unconsciously? What would happen if when talking, you actually listened to the instrument, to the vibration through the whole instrument? If you listen, you'll realize that every cell is resonating in the sound, and that sound, fundamentally, is energy. And energy is fundamentally who you are. So even by the simple act of paying attention to speaking, you could realize who you are. You could realize the truth of being." Recorded 5/9/2011 in San Francisco.

"How is it possible to completely dissolve, to allow the body and the mind and the emotional realm to completely dissolve, so there's only consciousness present? ... When there's just pure consciousness, there's an extraordinary aliveness that we realize we are." Recorded 4/25/2011 in San Francisco.

This week Jon invites us to drop our interpretation of what's arising and allow ourselves to not know, even if only for only a moment; and emphasizes that when you can truly be with whatever is present right now — with yourself, however you are, right now — then in this moment you're right on the edge of freedom.
