And you go, and you try to be mindful in the park, and you know, I smell the fresh cut grass, and I've, this isn't working. It's like, I got things to do. I forgot to send that email and I should take a shower and I've got a thing I've got to get to and you're in your head. Your head chatters. When you're watching your breath, that's all well and good, but there are
supportive kinds of focus that contribute to being able to watch your breath so that your mind doesn't have time to interject and to go because for example if we were to sit here and you want to sit upright always and have your spine straight because all the energy is in your spine And you want for your body to go into a deep sleep-like state, which is beyond calm.

Calm is one thing, but when you get into the body getting so quiet that it gets numb, and your body feels like it's out here, kind of like the skin of a soap bubble, and you are consumed in pure consciousness. And that's the I am, the witness, the soul, the spirit, the bubble of consciousness in an infinite sea of awareness.

And you realize that the deeper you go, the deeper there is to merge into. And this is the high that we're all looking for. It's beyond calm, it's beyond peace of mind. It is... It's the confirmation of everything you believed or listened to or thought was reasonable about faith. Which is why I bring up to people that I think they should find their own body of evidence.

You know, spend a little time Looking at the poetry of Islam, or the Buddhist koans, or the teachings of Indian masters, or Native American powwows, what are the spiritual beliefs of people of great faith? The articulate ones, the physicists who... I found dozens of quotes by brilliant people. And every time I find one, I write it down. And then I try to commit it to memory.

And it becomes part of my personal body of evidence that has nothing to do with mythology or dogma. Mythology is always the stuff that atheists buy into. Yeah, he's part of the Red Seas. Yeah, right. Changed water to wine, maybe. Yeah. Or dogma, which are the rules and regulations of how to get to the infinite what. And then we get into the question of what is God and why do we use the word God?

And the more you find these things that you believe in, the greater your ability to turn your will and your life over to the care of this something that you can't begin to comprehend.
