VVRLPP-06_Pas de decalage entre notre vie et notre réalisation

as I was looking at what it means to really let everything go like really everything go you I realized it was a that part of me that that uh doesn't want to let everything you know the partment doesn't want to let everything go protesting and uh you know ego so ultimately I realized that was just another thing to let you know to let go the ego is not just another thing it's it's the only thing because if we let go of that everything else is going to be very cool so remember in this teaching the ego is there's as I you know as I remind everybody it's the personal psychological self which is you know based upon our it's been created by our own personal history and life experience so it's the personal psychological self which is which is relatively there's Relative Dimension dimensions of it that are unique to each different individual so I've had particular life experiences that have created my ego in a particular unique way and you have have had life experiences that I haven't had that have and circumstances that have created your personal ego in a unique way so there's a psych that's a psychological self and there of course all the the cultural values and perspectives that are important because uh es especially for us because for most of us our secular postmodern values don't recognize the value or the significance of that which we he together saying of that which has the greatest value so if we live in a shared inter subjective value sphere that doesn't recognize the significance of that which we a all agree has greatest value there's going to be there's going to be an enormous conflict and great dissonance between the the shared interest subjective value sphere and that which we have decided has greater value than anything else that's a big problem that's an enormous problem it's a real problem for it's a very big problem that has everything to do with real life the real life that we're all actually living real life so that's a very big problem in a relationship to real life so so it's not just it's just not another thing it's everything and and those are this enormous challenge that needs to be taken on really quite wholeheartedly if we're going to actually be able to get the other side of the psychological self and the culturally conditioned self it it has to be a very big big Embrace of the because it's an enormous issue now for example if if this was kind of a spiritual Retreat or spiritual Gathering within a shared cultural context maybe a tra some kind of traditional value sphere where everything that we were speaking about was recognized and was part of our shared culture it would be very different it wouldn't be considered to be so esoteric so you know way out in left field so other than the status quo so absolutely other than the status quo and then then and that's part of the reason why so much of what I'm teaching many PE it seems to be such a challenge to uh so many of the values from which we live live our lives and so that for many for many people there's a great dissonance and a conflict and that's the reason why but but those that dissonance is is is is is is real and it's it's very important to kind of like dig into it come to terms with it and uh because the because we're interested in the long-term result here that has that's sustaining but but there but you know but there is I mean um as long as our as long as the the shared cultural World space that we occupy doesn't admit and give value to that which you know that which to we as individuals as you that to you know have given the greatest value to you know we're going to have a problem there's going to be a very big dissonance between the glory of what you saw within your own in the light of your own awareness All That Glory and what you're doing every day and as long as there's a big dissonance or Duality between that glory and what one's doing every day you know something's fundamentally wrong from a spiritual point of view like living in darkness to whatever degree one is tasted the the the the absolute truth and and and self Liberation inherent liberation of that Glory as for example you were describing then it gets even harder to Bear the split because one can't bear living in darkness anymore but of course if you don't know what's on the other side this is just reality but if you know then you find it then one finds it quite unbearable I can see that's where like a real where Noble effort comes in too because because to just you know when you not to recoil from The Challenge no right not to recoil from the enormity of the challenge an enormous Challenge and not to recoil from it not to cave in in fear so it's too big I can't handle it not to recoil and say no it's cool I can handle it I it's cool it's big I realize it's enormous but I can deal with it otherwise we're going to be crushed by our own by by the by The Recoil of the of this of the the self within our own self that's identifies with the fears desires values and perspective of the status quo we're going to cave in under all that why what I teach has always been dangerous quote unquote is because of this because I've NE I've always been very explicit about the nality of between spir spirit and culture or spirit and life you I've never I've never accepted that there be any kind of split which I think is what makes my teaching you P powerful that much more powerful as a result of it
