Freedom has no form, nor shape, no substance, nor beginning nor ending yet seeing and knowable.

People get separated from each other due to beliefs – monks/nuns from householders. Tantra means to weave together, to expand.

In the rhythm of the day, countless impressions pass through consciousness but only a few register and make an impact. Practice includes the capacity to give only a bare description to any event. There is an experience and a voice within that takes up a view about the experience. We listen to that voice to respond or not. Dharma talk recorded in Israel, 2012.

We either want something to change or we don’t want it to change. Human issues revolve around these perceptions. Some meditators believe that witnessing change moment to moment is enough.

A common spiritual view claims that there is only the Now. We are encouraged to be harmonious and one with the now. Certain gurus claim that the now is the true reality. This gives the feeling of oneness. So truth is then oneness. Is it? Is it the true reality? It is not a teaching of the Buddha to make such claims about oneness and the now.

We put aside our roles. The inner life grabs hold of an event, past, present or future to build a story. First hand inquiry contributes to insight into the fields of experience.

The teachings explore the nature of the self, of I. The “I” cannot sit. Only the body can “sit.” The “I” identifies with the body so we say “I am sitting here.” There is the pure witness who witnesses the variety of experiences.

We experience that which is formed together. We want to posit something permanent. Humans have needed a religious metaphysic, such as the word God to transcend the world to give comfort.
