The Realness of Reality

"Generations go into the understanding of a simple word."

Adya mentions Civilization (TV series) (I think that's what he's referring to; he can't remember the title, though.)

"When we communicate, we're drawing upon this immensity of history."

"A few words artfully assembled, a good poem, and all of a sudden you're in tears."

"We've forgotten the power to be informed by generations."

"Walt Disney was brilliant at changing people's consciousness."

"These are just ways of reporting back, 'This is how the world looks from here.'"

"You can be a conscious intangibility."

"Comedians provide this incredible social function. If they can help us laugh at ourselves, that's a shamanic act."

"Dreams are sometimes carriers of great reality. An illusion can be communicating a truth."

"Whenever we suffer, the first question we could be asking ourselves is, 'Am I perceiving this the way it actually is?'"

"We have to value that kind of coming together more than we value winning. But you also retain your ability to have conviction in the way you see something. Historically, the most enlightened people, they're not pushovers. They have a backbone. But before we stand our ground, we better be damn sure of the ground we're standing on."

"When you function with integrity, honesty, and sincerity, you notice it feels better."

"The more conscious we get, the more attuned the body gets. We notice when we function in an unconscious way. It'll hurt more."

"You don't want to halfway wake up and retain the desire to not be truthful, because it's going to feel bad."

"Are we seeing things clearly or not clearly? Clearly tends to equal alignment. Not clearly tends to be agitated."

"Bringing intelligence to our spiritual practice is extremely important: there's the same old pattern; what's generating and supporting that pattern?"

"As you go about your day, any conversation you have, have it from that connected place. If you feel yourself veering away from that connection, stop, and say a word that feels true. It's an amazing practice. It's not only with people. When you're washing the dishes, do you check out? Have that intimacy of being, of actually there with what you're doing. You'll end up watching conversations go ways that you would have never dreamed of. Just by relentlessly retaining that sense."
