(San Jose, California)-What is this whole thing of life about? Why do we persist to look look, search search, what is it that we are searching and looking for? Is it something untouchable by the hands of humankind, untouchable by the minds of traditional conditioned human beings? We went into “LOVE” very deeply yesterday, is that not all there is, or that’s needed in order for us to be with one another peacefully? What else could there be? What more is there beyond the obvious? Are you interested in talking about it, going into it to see what we find or have you had enough of all this?
Please if the writer may again say this is not a propaganda we are not telling you what to do or how to do something, remember there is no how. Now lets go into it a little bit. What is sleep? Apart from the physical relaxation, tiredness, going to bed for 5/6/7 hours of sleep. Are you sure you want to do this with the writer? We are together with this yes, you the readers/listeners and the writer?
Suppose you have never read a book, magazine, watched infomercial nothing about anything and you are starting with the writer? Now what is sleep? Lets look at this as if it is the first time? You see all the hustle and bustle of the daily jobs and work, family with all the rest and the brain cells get tired and need rest so you sleep, but the writer is talking about something other than that. So is there any other sleep? Sleep what does it mean? Do we sleep during the day? Not going to bed, but the mind is quiet tired, the brain cells have been active and it says please one must relax, quiet and sleep. Or is it a perpetual movement in which there is an occasional sleep?
Do you follow what the writer means? The brain and the mind are going all the time working, working, working. Responding, challenging, protecting, you following, frighten, aggressive going all the time and in the movement of that the body gets exhausted the brain cells are weary and it says please one must go to sleep. But the brain cells and the whole of that are still going on. The writer thinks that sleep should mean the “end of that at least for a period of time. The body says I have had enough; it is tired out and goes to sleep. But the brain still goes on at a minor key but still moving on.
Dreams restlessness and all the rest of it. So it would be reasonable to say that the mind, brain and nervous system are steady going all the time. So you see it is only when the brain and mind is completely quiet there is sleep. We are sharing together; the write is not saying anything. He is only pointing out. So the mind, the brain and nervous organism are apparently caught in a constant movement, even while in the bed and so called sleeping. Can you see this to be fact?
The writer isn’t sure if you have noticed it but before you go to bed if one is awake a little bit, we go over the day. Do you do this; I should have done this or that, the brain try’s to put things in place. So it is trying to put things in order because the brain needs order and there fore it will try to put things in order while sleeping which is a form of dreaming. The brain says please give me order. Are you with the writer on this? Don’t perpetually stay in disorder moving moving all the time.
The writer wonders if you have experimented with all of this? So at the end of the day consciously the brain try’s to put some kind of order. No, hasn’t this happened with you viewing this? You I should have done this or that at the end of the day? Maybe I should have emailed him this way instead of the way did. That is to bring about consciously order before going to sleep. And when you don’t do it the brain is going to do it for you while sleeping. And when you wake up the next morning you a little more order that become disorder by all the noises that surrounds you.

See from this, extraordinary things take place? The brain demands order. It is going to get it during the day or while you are a sleep, it must have order all the time. Now if during the day there is complete order, no effort and all the rest then you go to sleep what happens? Do this, try it out to see what take place you will find it to be delightful? Now order in the brain during the day then goes to sleep what happens? Completely at rest, a silly mind can be completely at rest but it still remains a silly mind. Are you following what the writer means?
Order and silence is one of the most difficult things for the human mind. During the day if this does not come about the brain cells say please one must have order. Lets say that you have a mathematical problem you fuss around for days looking at it and working with it. The brain has been working at it and it gets very tired, during the sleep something takes place and you wake up and the mathematical problem has been solved. How did this happen? This is so simple there isn’t any mystery about it. During the day you are worried like a dog with a bone and at the end of the day you say I have had enough I am tired. There is a moment of complete relaxation and rest and at that moment you see things differently, you never did this?
During the day effort, contradiction is the thing producing disorder. At night there is a relaxation that brings about order, which is again destroyed the next day. Now this game goes on on and on, never stopping for a moment, okay may be it stops for a moment. During the day there is order no effort, contradiction and all the rest. The writer doesn’t know if you can do this, if you can do it and see what happens? Then the mind goes to sleep, what happens? Must it have dreams any longer and don’t say no because that is only a guess word? Does the mind work at-all?
Furthermore during the day the mind has brought about clearness, silence, no contradictions and no propaganda no more of the traditional things by watching, listening and attending. Then at night it sleeps, what takes place? Isn’t the mind completely at rest, the brain cells are washed out and cleansed, right? Then what happens? The mind then is awake, not asleep! That is a real awakening/attention that operates during the day! So ordinary sleep is inattention, and that inattention must create more chaos, contradictions, dreams, violence that is expressed during the daytime. The daytime carried over again through sleep.
When there is attention in the daytime, attention as we are using the word attention, then sleep is complete attention. “Then sleep become a heighten a wakefulness.” Then that wakefulness in sleep can touch things, which no action during the day can. Are you with the writer on this? A mystery is an invention of humankind, you know this right? And all the mystery of the gods and fairy tales is a form of mystery in a life that is completely disorderly, this is a fact. There fore that mystery is an escape.
Now when a mind has put the beauty of order, the feeling of order and silence, no effort during the day, then when it sleeps there is this strange attention which is without effort, emotion, motive or compulsion, no contradiction, no dualities <(attention and inattentions) none of this are there. The mind is completely attentive while it is asleep. Stick with me a little bit here, it is not attending to anything, there is no direction to which it attends and it is just there. It is tremendously active just like the humming bird that stops in mid air and hovers effortlessly with no directional intentions what so ever, just there.
You have to see the beauty of this, please do it? It is like water, put it in anything; no matter what you put it in or mix it with it is still water. Lets go a little further into it, in that attentive sleep-full state the mind is uncontaminated, it is in a state of complete innocents in the sense of a mind that is incapable of being hurt. It is very important for you to see this because innocency is that, the word means that which doesn’t know hurt.
During the daytime the mind is resisting being hurt or saying I am not hurt, still while doing that ordinarily it is still very limited. And there in sleep attention is not attentive of something or about something it is completely awake. In that state there is meditation. Is all of this Arabic to you the readers/listeners, the writer don’t know is it? This is terribly serious, you follow?
You see you are touching something that is untouchable through a mind as though it was in a mirror. For me all the cinemas, sex, entertainments are all secondary, the writer is not saying to totally abandon that but to not let it control ones very existence. There is nothing to observe, to discover this is like, can’t explain it, sorry! So during the day is the ME/SELF/EGO trying to put order in disorder that it has created and that which it claims is order is till disorder. Until that disorder is put in order, order in the sense that’s not brought about by thought but by observation, which we went into all that.
When that takes place in the mind during the waking hours order mathematically, not a fraction of disorder, which means no effort at-all at any level at any time, no contradictions and all the rest. When this mind is asleep because it is empty that is attention. Do you get this, can we go on? In that attention it can touch, move or something that in the disordered mind cannot do. There fore sleep becomes very important, real awakening sleep. This is the greatest mystery!
Have you the viewers of this account, have you ever closed your eyes or laid down with your eyes closed with nothing to look at not even your thoughts? Have you; the mind looking at itself without any movement of thought? You see all of this implies it is not a game or entertainment, it is a tremendous discipline. Not discipline of obedience, conformity, suppression or somebody telling you to do this. But in itself there is this tremendous watchfulness that brings it own order both physical and psychological. So with out this we just play around with all the other stuff with no meaning.
