so you have we have to approach this with kind of very a very big motive uh which is kind of seeing through everything not just not just being free from one particular issue that's painful but we want to have a moment of insight where we we're at least momentarily we Glimpse the kind of a radical expanse that's free from everything that's why we're doing this so in order to do that we need it does take discipline you have we have to we have to apply a degree of discipline and say Well for now you know whatever my particular thing is that I'm hung up on we're all hung up on one thing or another aren't we are we I am so we all have things we hung up on right isn't that true so we're all so but the thing is we want to take out this time to say okay for now these little things that I'm hung up on rightly or wrongly rightly or wrongly we want to say that something more important than this or that and we want to we want to look you know cultivate the capacity for a deeper experience of insight and an Insight that's not relative but that has to do with it in this case the nature of the Mind itself so we can have experience a much deeper insight into nature however how it all works because the thing is all that stuff that you're concerned about is going to be there when the retreat's over it won't go away so you don't have to worry about it you have plenty of time to dwell on that that you you know the thing is you won't necessarily have the same opportunity you do now that they never did a retreat environment like this provides to be able to see through the Mind itself so what you want to do is be more interested in that and having that kind of experience and that kind of insight and Clarity rather than being preoccupied with whatever it is okay yes but it's hard I agree with you it is hard but but it's really worth it what thank you well that's what helped me I never got over my part my my problems or or obsessions or whatever it was I just actually became interested in something deeper and bigger than them and that's what changed everything for me see so it's kind of a shift of attention so we're all hung up on one thing or another and you know and that's you know it'll go on to a greater lesser degree as we mature as people but the idea and the way I'm teaching is I try to get people interested in something more profound more significant more ultimately relevant than real than any of these personal Hang-Ups and I tend to think that because we don't get interested in things in in that would and things that have greater value we tend to blow out of proportion the significance of our personal Hang-Ups you know what I mean so my solution to neurosis right do the post-modern condition of being a neurotic person and most people most of us are to some to Greater lesser degrees neurotic people is not really to deal with the Neurosis head on ideally but to get people interested in something that's much bigger and more important so that the this the the neurotic issues are rendered much less significant than they used to appear to be so now because we're interested in something much more real much more important much more relevant that stuff is just not so problematic anymore we realize that it doesn't really matter as much as we thought it did before that's that's how I approach teaching what do you think about that sounds good as a strategy definitely a good strategy it's good strategy right
