"Learn silence. And at least with your friends, with your lovers, with your family, with your fellow travellors here, sit in silence sometimes. Don´t go on gossiping, don´t go on talking. Stop talking, and not only on the outside - stop the inner talk. Be in an interval. Just sit, doing nothing, just being presences to each other. And soon you will start finding a new way to communicate. And that is the right way. Start communicating through silence sometimes. Holding the hand of your friend, sit silently. Just looking at the moon, feel the moon, and both feel it silently. And see, a communion happens - not only communication, but a communion. Your hearts start beating in the same rhythm. You start feeling the same space. You start feeling the same joy. You start overlapping each other´s being. That is communion. You have said without saying anything, and there will be no misunderstanding."

[@user-lw9pj7yz1l]

Quietness can't be attained in chaos. You need be in a peaceful environment totally alone, and aloof in nature when only you hear wind, birds , and water . Nature sings to you in silence, your the audience. Then you start your bliss.

I'm often alone but by choice, because listening to, knowing, and living these Truths is my Samadhi, my church, and my focus, and brothers like Alan are the preachers of the One Truth, so I listen. It seems I no longer want to discuss politics, motorcycles, or any of the details of this illusion, to do so seems a waste now, like talking about a movie ad nauseum. There are the bigger truths which Alan reminds us of that have to be assimilated, more critical and wonderful than any worldly trivialities that most may wish to discuss, the minutia that is attached to this 3D Earth. It is such a beautiful school to produce a complicated yet simple illusion around too. And I am beyond grateful just to be invited to the ultimate cosmic party, and so blessed to be sharing it with you precious souls. But it is an amazing illusion in which we get to, play with it, f*ck it up, overcome it, survive it, and to believe it is real. But it is not real at all. What is real, distilled down to it's essence, way past the subatomic level, is the ONE true reality and one connection to our consciousness, and it is Creator Love. There really is no separation kids, We are the One, as well as the Ones we've been waiting for, We are our saviors, it is Us, it has been Us the whole time- like Alan says we just got "hoodwinked". Namaste kids, and the Love of the Creator to you.

Meditation is only a way to kill time, get you out of reality. I personally don't meditate . You would know better than I. My experience in life is the more I experience life's anxiety and chaos the more relaxed I become eventually. People who meditate are looking to circumnavigate reality. That works short term, but eventully you'll need to meditate again, again and again, Somewhat like a drug. Just tough it out, maybe you'll find a new path, that's enlightening for me.

[@willieluncheonette5843]

" Alan Watts' THE BOOK. I have been saving it. Alan Watts was not a buddha, but he could be one day. He has moved closer to it. THE BOOK is tremendously important. It is his testament, his whole experience with Zen masters, Zen classics. And he is a man of tremendous intelligence; he was also a drunkard. Intelligence plus wine have really created a juicy book. I have loved THE BOOK and I have saved it for the last. Do you remember Jesus' saying, "Blessed are those who stand at the last"? Yes, this book is blessed. I bless it, and I would like this series of sessions to be in memory of Alan Watts. I love one statement of one of the most important people of the West, Alan Watts. He was a drunkard, but he was the man who introduced to the West the most essential parts of Zen and enlightenment. He wrote not as a scholar, but as a master. Before he was dying, he was still drinking and a disciple asked him, "Have you ever thought... if Buddha had seen you drinking alcohol, what do you think he would have thought about it?" Alan Watts said, "There is no problem. I always drink in an enlightened way." The question is not what you do, the question is how you do it. Yes, I accept Alan Watts' statement. There is a possibility of a man to drink alcohol in an enlightened way. Enlightenment should not have any limits. And it should not have a particular formula, a particular pattern that you have to follow"
