Thanks for sharing your experience! I can read happiness peace and love from your face! Im just not sure if this is because of meditation or just because you are always like that =P
Full of double entrendre - mind you I grant you its all in the mind of the beholder ... But its time for me to immerse myself in that silence I'm afraid (like the lunatic who leaves off banging his head against the wall) so Im going to have to go now and not stay to the end. Tara
My thoughts torture me. I can't believe I haven't had a complete awakening yet. Yes, Letting go is so hard but it is the key. There used to be an Eckhart Tolle meetup here in MN but it ended and I might start another one. Thanks for posting.
I just started a meditation practice about a month ago. I sit for 20 minutes twice a day and it has been fantastic. I look forward to going on a multiple day retreat in the near future. This video is both informative and inspiring. Informative that you shared your thoughts, feelings, and experiences with us. Inspiring that you seem to have gained so much valuable insight into the operating characteristics of your own mind. Fascinating subject indeed. Thanks for sharing and many blessings to you.
Hey katie have you heard of Eckhart Tolle? His teachings are almost the same of what you talk about and so true. Your experience sounds amazing and Id like to try it for myself, thanks for sharing!
I often hear people say how they actually went 5 whole days without speaking or using technology. I must be crazy because i do this all the time. I go a week without speaking most of the time, i spend most of my time in nature and with animals. Seems the people who speak the most have the least to say.
Hey everyone...there is a brand new Documentary series out from the one behind The Arrivals, The Antichrist Dajaal series, 13 masonic secrets and many others...we've been uploading it and sharing it with all you know and hope you do the same...this is a MUST SEE! (wwwdot)youtube.com/user/HashemStudioscom
Gah I can't help my feelings... I must tell you these things... I... I love you *hides face* lol Well I'm sure your definition of love is much different than mine and what I'm insinuating. I think I just admire your face, really. And your adventures. I admire that you do these things. Admiration, yes.
Great stuff, good qualities, your lucky not that i believe in luck lol, qwick question what actualy hapens in a silent retreat? just do nothing and speak nothing?
i have looked in to face of chaos and seen chaos and and darkness it is beliefs system like governments, religion,good or or bad ,laws and prison. love will show you the truth and the truth will set you free from beliefs. let love show you the truth and let truth guide you may love and truth feel you with light . Paul
7:11 "We search for happiness outside of ourselves in external things."
Well said! I seem to be starting the journey because after a lifetime of living for the future where I was going to have my dream career I found out that my dream was actually a nightmare. Now for the first time in my life I am living in the present instead of living in the future. Good thing you are so pretty causing me to click on the vid in the suggestions column. GOOD STUFF you mention here!
:: plz :; do watch a movie called Dahmma brothers done by goenka Vipassana meditation people. PLZ do watch it. You will cry many times and see HOW powerful Dhamma is. bless you all .
Thanks again for sharing,i recently returned from a four month trip to Thailand,where i was in silence for almost the whole trip,and had a shift in my being. Thank you again for the reminder.
@TurquoiseGeisha you want to meet her, huh? is that why you asked that question? you can find meditation retreats on the internet or just go to your nearest meditation center or library or just google.
I did 4 days silence over new year and i'm doing a 7 days next week, and it's true what you say, there are no words that could do justice to the unfolding that is experienced in silence.
The fact is that meditation is for everyone.Everyone can do it.The only thing that we lack is time. I think in your vdeo ,you refer to vipassana meditation but the seminar lasts 10 days ,not 5.
Thanks. Glad to hear it was good as I'm going on a ten day meditation silence retreat at the end of month. I have been meditating on my own for years and am excited to take it to the next level. Did u meditate before your retreat. Peace.
Good on you, but .. in the Vipassana ...you have to do it for a AT LEAST 10 days to get fully benefit of a silent retreat. So, maybe, next time .... Wish you all the best with it.
Hi Katie. I honor your self discovery and your words. In this video, I heard what was taught, but heard little of your direct experience. Please include more of your direct experience in the next video as it will help others to validate their own more accurately. Thank you so very much for sharing the light that you are.
lol, nonstop chattering indeed. :-) What kind of state were you in when you made this video Katie? How does that compare with the experience of being on retreat? I appreciate the effort though, a lot of people probably would not get this kind of message to start with if they didn't hear it from someone like you first.
gotta say, i'm with jinx on this one. either he's enlightened and as yang as i am, or he's on the brink. christ almighty. THERE IS NO YOU... in ANY sense. recognise that, and really... get out of your own ass. you're not important enough in ANY way to explore this thing you call your "self".... You dont need 5 days of silence. you need honesty and a functioning brain. i highly doubt you have either.
thank you for this, videos like this are very refreshing and useful. Soon enough the greater population will realize things like this, this is the new way of thinking.
I don't believe that you exist. You are the embodiment of everything i hate. Take the silver spoon that you were born with out of your ass, sharpen it, and kill yourself with it. You keep referring to an "us" and a "we", but in reality you look down on everyone else....it comes across in all your learned new wave bullshit that you vomit out of your generic mouth. i wish that when you said you were "running out of time", you meant in life. i hate you. die
From day 1, every instance of our mind/ego experiencing not looking good, not being right, or not being in control it either develops or reinforces survival beliefs and then learned to protect those beliefs. Those 3 elements cost each of us dearly. It's like steering your own ship with the rudder stuck to one side. The first key is to just be aware of this. For example, I'm aware that I'm being right. MOST of the time, your ego rules you while you lose out in health, wealth, relationships, etc.
It's interesting... people will either get the message or they won't. Either they know it to be helpful to look inside themselves for answers (which is really the only place they can look) or the keep seeking satisfaction in the material world, their own self worth here in the external.
i listened to you katie. I did this once when i got kicked out of my house and had no job. It felt like the world got smaller as the days went on. But as soon as i got out of my retreat aka my moms basement i kinda just wanted to go back adn then i got really depressed
Book of Secrets: "the functioning of the mind is the inner noise..the constant chattering within you..when the chattering stops.. there is no ego.. those situations-are lovely-you start desiring those situations...the mind is an instrument...no need to get identified with it..remain above it..if you can be aware of the reality here and now, you will remain always transcendental to the mind..the ego will disappear..then all happens to you...you have become open..all ecstasies are yours."
ya, alot of those thoughts aren't actually yours. We are surrounded by Spirits. Only one is holy and that is the Holy Spirit...aka... Spirit of GOD..Spirit of Truth. To find yourself go deep into God and his Word. Because that is our origin. God.
Hi Katie,does this mean that you learned to feel comfortable enough that you have begun taking a few hours a month to rewind back into where you found yourself during your retreat?Most learn in childhood to use their conscious mind 'think' and decieve themselves this is their true selves.In meditation one 'quiets the mind',When you start to ask-1.where did that thought come from-2.ask,where did that(1)thought come from, that is your true self The Eternal Spiritual Mind is in the Sub-Conscious.Om
Yes, things get very clear. It's confidence and assurance. Silent walks are just as insightful, I believe that physical suffering is the premise to enlightenment, so walking in silence and doing so in prayer or meditation makes us better or enlightened as some say. I along with others did such a walk which last for 15 days, it was a life changing experience. I'm currently writing a book about it too.
great video! you explained yourself very well in a way that I think a lot of people can understand. Or at least I hope so. Anyway, you encouraged me to meditate more.
im on the same path as you and i hear what your saying! i was watching this and notice how much my mind was chatting about how pretty you are! still cant get beyond it though... really going to try that 5 day silent meditation exercise!
Katie, what a clear view and good words you have! That was pretty profound actually. I noticed that was posted in "08. Love to hear how you see "what is" now.
Very well done. I am just back from my talk about meditation and what you have described is perfect and good enough to inspire people for silent meditation. I have taken few ten days vipassana meditation and what I have learnt is greatest experiences of my life. You have articulated very well and keep talking to inspire people in the future for the good cause.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm going on a 10 day silent meditation retreat this summer, and I'm very excited but also getting a bit nervous about it. Can't wait to be quiet though. :D
Check out a book called Yoga Vasishta, written about 1000 years ago, more or less, about the mind and different levels of reality. It talks a lot about the interconnectedness of life.
So happy I found this video!!!! Do I have to go to a retreat to do this? Can I do this @ home? How dio I prepare for something like this? How long did you meditate in a dya?
The shift in consciousness happens the moment you say 'yes' to what is, because the entire structure of the egoic mind-made self lives on resistance and opposition and on making the now into an enemy. The beautiful thing is that we can step out of thousands of years of collective conditioning, without needing more time to step out of it.
Most of what you said makes senese. But this world can not be left just as it be. The abuse and atrocities in this world has to be stopped. Direct intervention is required.
Thanks a lot! You explained it very clearly. I was only wandering: didn't the retreat first bring up a lot of fear or anger or resistance? I heard that for a lot of people, it does -- and that they only feel calmer towards the end.
but this is not the point , searching for happenis for me was something like trying to find a treasure in the pyramid , it is adventure which i love but it is hard , but these days i started reading about all of these new laws and metaphysics life,, i think i am sooo close , i want to tell u , just u have a very good understanding of people needs and also very powerful emotion expressing way, do u wanna work in spiritual life professionally someday?
You have done a great job in explaining about Vipasna meditation. This all about interaction between conscious and unconscious mind indicating how phychology of mind playing major role in our life unknowingly comapre to living with reality. what we get out of Vipasna is called "Awareness" of our self, how we think, how we behave and how we act in day to day life. It reflects why are we living life of illusion rather than enjoying life like a innocent children.
I was looking through some Goenka meditation videos and came across your video, you have a very good understanding from such a short course.. this is good, I think it is very important to continue developing this within yourself or it will become just a novelty.
We are much more than we think we are.. but at the same time we are alot less than what we can become, and this is because we give in to temptations and desires.. we are ruled by our ego's.. our mind.
Thank you for this video. Your words are very clear. I like what you say about our thoughts, observation and love. I practice meditation for 8 years and i felt a kind of anxiety at the beginning when i realised my ego is an illusion. I felt like i am nothing. But now, it helps me to "let it go" and i think now we are nothing but a vibration of love. Thank you again. I wish you the best.
brilliant video and descriptions thank you so much. I reserved a 10 day course in November so this basically mapped it out for me I feel excited about it. 5 out of 5
Wuaoo WHat a great video what a great words! Thanks for sharing with us I am going to a vipassana retreat so it help me a lot to listen to you I am amazing for your words. God bless you!!! Thanks!
yeah, thanks for sharing. I'm a firm believer in meditation for all those reasons and more...but, why did you do so much cocaine before you made the video :), just kidding. You're real cute, cute top too :)
I was fortunate enough to view your video on a random "click"... It was great! Thanks for sharing your message, Katie! I am working on a program that inspires others to face and conquer their fears, fears that develop from the "popcorn thoughts" you speak of and one's interpretation of them. You are definitely someone who could be involved directly or as a guest speaker when it is up and rolling. Perhaps we can talk about combining efforts on such a project? Be Well, Matt C.
thank you for your description. am contemplating the course, your experience will help me make my decision. a friend thought it might be too tough for me (i've been ill), but your comments make me think, yup, that sounds fine and dandy. hope all is going well with you.
Wow, really good, you're very bright. I had an earinfection almost 2 years ago, one ear at a time, one week for each, so 2 weeks in total of almost complete silence, opening my mouth made it hurt even more. So I totally relate to the things mentioned, I just didn't know it was something practiced, so it's kinda cool I found out about it by accident without having even heard of it before. And nice to see a girl into these things, 2 many r busy nowadays with things that don't matter
I agree about your opinion about the experience that you made :-) Made a 7 day Vipassana Retreatment twice in Chang Mai and it was amazing ... and im doing my homework regulary :-) Buddha protect you :-)
We used to do a similar self discovery using psychodelics back in the day. This sounds alot safer! Although like experimenting with psychodelics, I dont think the general population could handle such brutal truthfulness of ones mind.
Very good point, H4IP. It is interesting how history has become the accepted reality concerning the use of psychodelics back in the 60/70s. Massive numbers of people were using psychotropic drugs as a means of delving into the essence of reality, as opposed to the now accepted reality that people were "partying" or "avoiding reality". It's the same thing that Katie is talking about but "cheating" a little bit by using a drug to enter that sense of being.
Yes, we are connected. We are a part of each other and the whole. The whole (light of consciousness) has ONE path, evolution & expansion. Everything that happens is a part of this path, and we are woven into this. The Heart and soul opens when we embrace in total unyielding courage, the truths of our own experiences and identity. True vulnerability is strengthening. Go Katie! Dissolve into the oneness in Love of the gift of our journey.
this is such a clear and simple explanation of using meditation and observation of the mind to understand its nature ,and the stillness and vastness behind the inner chatter, nice one!

Yes, things get very clear. It's confidence and assurance. Silent walks are just as insightful, I believe that physical suffering is the premise to enlightenment, so walking in silence and doing so in prayer or meditation makes us better or enlightened as some say. I along with others did such a walk which last for 15 days, it was a life changing experience. I'm currently writing a book about it too.

Very well done. I am just back from my talk about meditation and what you have described is perfect and good enough to inspire people for silent meditation. I have taken few ten days vipassana meditation and what I have learnt is greatest experiences of my life. You have articulated very well and keep talking to inspire people in the future for the good cause.

Check out a book called Yoga Vasishta, written about 1000 years ago, more or less, about the mind and different levels of reality. It talks a lot about the interconnectedness of life.

The shift in consciousness happens the moment you say 'yes' to what is, because the entire structure of the egoic mind-made self lives on resistance and opposition and on making the now into an enemy. The beautiful thing is that we can step out of thousands of years of collective conditioning, without needing more time to step out of it.

Thanks a lot! You explained it very clearly. I was only wandering: didn't the retreat first bring up a lot of fear or anger or resistance? I heard that for a lot of people, it does -- and that they only feel calmer towards the end.

You have done a great job in explaining about Vipasna meditation. This all about interaction between conscious and unconscious mind indicating how phychology of mind playing major role in our life unknowingly comapre to living with reality. what we get out of Vipasna is called "Awareness" of our self, how we think, how we behave and how we act in day to day life. It reflects why are we living life of illusion rather than enjoying life like a innocent children.

I was looking through some Goenka meditation videos and came across your video, you have a very good understanding from such a short course.. this is good, I think it is very important to continue developing this within yourself or it will become just a novelty.
We are much more than we think we are.. but at the same time we are alot less than what we can become, and this is because we give in to temptations and desires.. we are ruled by our ego's.. our mind.

Thank you for this video. Your words are very clear. I like what you say about our thoughts, observation and love. I practice meditation for 8 years and i felt a kind of anxiety at the beginning when i realised my ego is an illusion. I felt like i am nothing. But now, it helps me to "let it go" and i think now we are nothing but a vibration of love. Thank you again. I wish you the best.

I was fortunate enough to view your video on a random "click"... It was great! Thanks for sharing your message, Katie! I am working on a program that inspires others to face and conquer their fears, fears that develop from the "popcorn thoughts" you speak of and one's interpretation of them. You are definitely someone who could be involved directly or as a guest speaker when it is up and rolling. Perhaps we can talk about combining efforts on such a project? Be Well, Matt C.

thank you for your description. am contemplating the course, your experience will help me make my decision. a friend thought it might be too tough for me (i've been ill), but your comments make me think, yup, that sounds fine and dandy. hope all is going well with you.

Wow, really good, you're very bright. I had an earinfection almost 2 years ago, one ear at a time, one week for each, so 2 weeks in total of almost complete silence, opening my mouth made it hurt even more. So I totally relate to the things mentioned, I just didn't know it was something practiced, so it's kinda cool I found out about it by accident without having even heard of it before. And nice to see a girl into these things, 2 many r busy nowadays with things that don't matter

Hi Katie. I could listen to you all day!!
We used to do a similar self discovery using psychodelics back in the day. This sounds alot safer! Although like experimenting with psychodelics, I dont think the general population could handle such brutal truthfulness of ones mind.
hungry4innerpeace 2 years ago 3
Very good point, H4IP. It is interesting how history has become the accepted reality concerning the use of psychodelics back in the 60/70s. Massive numbers of people were using psychotropic drugs as a means of delving into the essence of reality, as opposed to the now accepted reality that people were "partying" or "avoiding reality". It's the same thing that Katie is talking about but "cheating" a little bit by using a drug to enter that sense of being.

You should try the 10 day Vipassana. I literally saw

even notice they used a wheel on their letterhead

Yes, we are connected. We are a part of each other and the whole. The whole (light of consciousness) has ONE path, evolution & expansion. Everything that happens is a part of this path, and we are woven into this. The Heart and soul opens when we embrace in total unyielding courage, the truths of our own experiences and identity. True vulnerability is strengthening. Go Katie! Dissolve into the oneness in Love of the gift of our journey.
