 The spirit uses everything that you are truly inspired by, passionate, to bring you deeper and deeper into stillness and to train your mind actually, to be able to just watch thoughts and going with them and to really just go deeper into stillness. It is a training and it can be, it might be that for month you just do two minutes in the morning, two minutes at night, and that's it, but use the music, the spirit will guide you and if you just ask for guidance to the spirit it's going to use your skills, it's going to use everything that you really like to do in order to bring you deeper, everything that is attractive and I feel like we really don't have to know how, because the how is the Holy Spirit, but you can just keep praying about it and following whatever's given you and trusting that this is the plan. So you have a very creative mind, you have a lot of inspiration and a lot of energy the spirit will use it, use all of it to bring you deeper and deeper into an experience of the heart where all things fall away naturally because you go deeper in the experience. So it's not again like a trying to let go, a trying to be quiet it's that quietness is your true nature and by allowing the spirit to guide you everything else will be removed because you don't pay attention to that. So when you are in collaboration or in inspiration your mind is quiet because you don't give attention to all those other thoughts they're still there, you're just not attentive to it and it's when you give attention and power to those thoughts that suddenly it's like, whoa, what's happening here? So just trust really that there is a plan and then by your willingness to follow the plan of the spirit you're going to go deeper and deeper into this experience. It's very joyful, like children were saying it doesn't need to be boring you don't need, you know, if you don't like sitting on a couch there is another plan for you the spirit will not give you something that you don't really feel passionate by it's going to use everything that is in you in order to really truly bring you to the experience. So it's used to the inspiration, it's infinite here and I guess I feel like a salmon wants to swim like the inspiration is pouring out, you can barely stop it sometimes and sometimes I wish I could and so I feel like a salmon trying to swim upstream like, wait, let me get to the source of the inspiration and just rest in it for a while and then when I get back, we'll play some flute and then we go again. It's a blessing that you are so passionate about these things and so passionate about the music it's just so easy to turn it to the spirit in the most helpful way and rinse and wash the mind of those resistances because you've got that passion and I always encourage that you're in touch with your feelings you're in touch with your passion it's like with Armelle, she's just like a little five year old and she just loses her breath I hear the breath going up then I know there's a huge inspiration there and everything in the universe will have to stop for this inspiration as I'm like, okay, what is it that you need, want, whatever forget about whatever was planned or scheduled by anybody and there's an attention and an allowance put to that she always liked meditation and dance, inner dance she would do inner dance sessions really taking people deeper into meditation using movement because there's a passion for that you see how the spirit just brought those two together the passion for the dance, the passion for the meditation ah, inner dance and people she would do these long inner dance sessions and people would say, whoa, my mind has expanded with your music, you know with all the different varieties and the presence and just wants to flow out in so many ways go with that don't think that there's anything wrong but go with it because it's so right and you will be amazed at how the spirit uses it so easily I am amazed we're just cheerleaders for that I love to just cheer people on or just sit in like movie making we were talking about go for it my talks with Thomas is one thing but for those who will come through and it will just be like, go for it, let's go for it let's try this, let's do this and be willing to just at the drop of a hat, just give yourself fully over to it without the shoulds, the ought tos, the have tos those things bog things down and like the piano, the keyboard it's just flowing through right there but there's not an inhibition about it there's encouragement I work with people in communities so I'm always helping people showing the benefits of communities and how you can work together to be a disaster people have said, don't mention communities just a bunch of egos larger communities, a bunch of egos together it's a nightmare, it's a drama I say, no, no I've had different experiences with communities where I'll get together with them when there's disagreements and arguments and debates I'll just be the presence of love and be accepting and say let's work through this let's use it here let's use it to the max for healing we don't have to just conclude that communities don't work we're not trying to make a utopian community we're trying to have a communion with God experience and clear away the obstacles so I don't shy away from things I'm just more like a cheerleader encouraging people saying, yeah, let's try that that sounds great let's try your idea and see how that works and then they discover for themselves that they actually have a lot of inspiration in there that wants to pour through I just realized that I was being run by this ego poser the imaginary Zen Nazi it's like, yeah, you've graded this and that but can you not think, you know and that's what's been running because the first challenge the first place to me as a little kid like, can you not think, you know yeah, we'll be left with the spirit that's in the Course Jesus says now we give you the most advanced form of meditation try not to think of anything that's the most advanced so see the ego is trying to taunt you with the most advanced and it's like, hey, take it easy I've got a passion for music and I think the spirit can use that passion to take me into a still mind don't taunt me with the silent stuff as if I'm a failure I'm gonna come and I'm gonna have that stillness and I'm gonna let the spirit inspire me through my music to do that and then take me there in a way that's fun and enjoyable not like, you know, pulling hairs out or something like that it's gotta be enjoyable I always tell people, why can't spirituality be fun? why should we make it so heavy? so dark, you know like it's so serious, you know I don't think it is I don't think the Course is really a serious book and people say that is a major serious mind bender I've had a lot of fun with it okay, thank you very much for coming
