that challenges what I believe is true? Isn't that a rut? Isn't the sensation that comes with with rejecting some new moment some new idea? Isn't the negativity that appears in that moment part of a rut? The answer is absolutely. What about worrying about tomorrow? You see for us, that's natural. I tell you that worrying about tomorrow. Is a rut? If a person understands anything at all from their own experience, how absolutely useless worry is or anxiety. And they've been a student in one respect or another of any true spiritual teaching. Take no thought for the Morrow. What man taking thought can add 1 cubit to his stature? Seek you first the Kingdom, all else is added, and that every last one of these ideas. Tries to indicate to us that when we make a plan in order to produce what we believe will be a new life for ourselves, we can't draw that new plan from anything other than the content of our past reading. Yes, fear is a rat. Of course it's a rut. How do I know it's a rut because I'm afraid of a moment I'm not going to measure up. I'm not going to get through it. This isn't going. To work, and when I feel that fear, what does my mind do? It starts laying track. And where does it get the track that it lays for me to walk to the time when I'm finally going to become fearless and free? Where does it get the track from? Oh, it gets it from my past. It gets it from the images. It gets it from the condition. The product of humanity over time. Just reinventing. And reconfiguring everything that imagines will free itself from the condition it creates from its for itself. Whenever it doesn't understand that to step onto the track of thought. Outside of practical thought. To step onto the track of thought is immediately. To be bound. It is that line that runs down that that that Kitty ride. It is the walls that won't let you go left or right. Where every time we relive what is suggested to us in order to free us from a fear in that same moment, we are giving life to that fear by resisting the condition it says is a threat and hoping that through resistance we will finally reach freedom. Just think with me for a moment. Believing that somehow or other my resistance to any given moment. Can help me realize freedom from the moment I don't want. When I wouldn't have the resistance to the moment that has appeared, unless it threatened who and what. I think I am and whatever freedom I think I've attained. Freedom isn't an attainment. It's the end of this nature. This consciousness that believes it can attain something to liberate itself. That's what freedom is. It is the negation of an unconscious process that ceaselessly lays tracks in thoughts and feelings and the plans that accompany the development of images of something I'll become or have one day. And we never see it. How about a regret? How can I come to a regret in life? Now I'm not saying there aren't things to regret. Do not misunderstand me. I'm just saying that here I run into some regret. And instead of recognizing in that moment that if I will accept the fact, the reason I've run into that regret is because I had been captured by some relationship with thought or feeling, something I imagined was going to complete. Me and then. When it came to the end, instead of realizing that freedom can't come to an end, love can't come to an end. Instead, I'm thrown back into regret, and then I analyze what happened and in the analysis I lay another track, such as I'll never do that again. I'll never be involved in another relationship. As long as I live because human beings are dirtbags, which by the way most of us are, because we're filled with the dirt. Of the past. But what has that got to do with walking through life? Afraid of any relationship that brings itself to you, no matter what it is? How about the track of the word no. Isn't that a track? Somebody asked you, will you would you, would you be interested? And if it doesn't fall within the purview of the particular track that we're on in that moment, or at least part of that greater track leading to whatever it is that we think will be some personal triumph. If it's not that, then the answer's no. And the minute that I say no to a moment like that. I can't have said no. I can't have been negative. I can't resist that moment without being on a track that looks ahead down its own line of expectation or imagination and then find something that it doesn't want. Yes, that's what that's what surrender is in one respect about. But it can't be surrender. It can't be surrender for the purpose of
