As you may recall, I had mentioned in the last two episodes that we are making a slight change in format for the “Stop Making Yourself Miserable” podcasts. Instead of building each episode around one particular theme, I am going to start presenting notes that I've made over the last fifty years that were particularly inspiring to me as I continued to go through all the ever-unfolding phases of inner growth.           For me, these living ideas are like beautiful flowers and bountiful fruit trees that align the side of the path I travel along.  And again, they are not being presented as specific teachings of any kind, just simply ideas for you to consider.  My suggestion is that you just take them in, maybe contemplate their meaning a little and see if they take you anywhere interesting within yourself. You may come across some pleasant surprises that might be surprisingly long lasting. You never know because the evolution of your inner consciousness truly is a gift that keeps on giving.           And one last point, which again comes completely from my own experiences with each one of these – although they may seem to be incredibly simple, they are often far deeper than they appear to be at first glance.  For me, when I would encounter one of these, a natural process of inner contemplation would take place, seemingly on its own, and layer upon layer of meaning would make itself known.           This following message is a perfect example of the simplicity of the profound and the profundity of the simple. As I mentioned at the end of the last episode, several decades ago I had been reading the transcript of a press conference that had been held for Prem Rawat, who was just thirteen years old at the time.           Someone asked him, “Do you believe in God?” And he immediately responded, "I believe in the God who put a smile on every baby's face." Now that phrase really stopped me dead in my tracks and made me give it some real thought. For one thing, I had never heard that particular idea before and the first thing I asked myself was, “Is there really a smile on every baby's face?” Well, obviously,  they're not smiling all the time. I mean a lot of the time, they're crying. But then I realized the deeper idea behind the question, which made me rephrase it to, “Is there the potential for a smile within every baby? And if there is, where does it come from? Might it be instinctual?'           Now back then, I had been around enough babies to know that they can break into a beautiful smile at any time, so on an intuitive level it quickly became clear that yes, there is a potential smile within every baby. So I had no issue with the idea that there is a smile on every baby's face.           Then I started thinking about the nature of that smile and a few things quickly occurred to me. The first one is that a baby's smile is incredibly transformative on the human beings around it. It's actually remarkable. You can take the most hard-boiled person in the world, who could easily win the Mr. or Mrs. Universe title for the most miserable people on earth, and put them alone in a room with a baby. And if no one is there and enough time has gone by for the adult to settle down a little, when that baby suddenly beams one of those beatific smiles at them, the adult's heart of ice will melt in an instant and they'll smile and start cooing at the baby in a matter of seconds. This inherent tenderness of a human's connection with a baby is a critical element of the highest and best aspects of our nature. And it doesn't even have to be a human baby either. The sweetness of this reaction has been clinically observed in people when they get around babies of other species as well. We all know what happens to people when they get to be around a baby puppy or a kitten. And it doesn't stop there. It's the same with baby deer, baby rabbits, baby horses, all the way through to baby turtles. It just does something truly wonderful to us.   So, if an incredibly powerful smile lights up every baby's face, the next big question is, “What are they smiling about?”           When viewed from a certain perspective, this is a truly great question. Studies have shown that babies do smile all the time and it's also been shown that children under the age of five experience significant laughter about three hundred times a day. That's a really lot of smiling and laughing. And the obvious and deeply profound question is, “What are they smiling and laughing about? What is it that is making them so happy? Why are they all in such great moods?” We know that they're not laughing at any jokes, because they're this happy long before they gain any language skills. They're also too young to be happy about the various external things that generally make adults happy – like money,  success, prestige, power, position, etc.            Of course, there are probably hundreds of well-reasoned out reasons why they are so happy, but personally, I'm fond of this one particular idea which is rooted in Ancient Wisdom and validated by modern neuroscience. And that is that they are so happy all the time because they are still closely connected to the very essence of our consciousness. They haven't absorbed enough of the unconscious confusion of the external world to be over-influenced by it. And although they may have been exposed to the agitating aspects we all run into like anger and fear, they haven't yet cemented the associated negative channels in their brain. The inherent happiness and contentment of our inner essence, existing in its state of joyful, creative genius is still who they are. And that's why there is so much smiling and laughter in their lives.           Okay, so much for the smile on every baby's face. Now what about the first part of the statement that the young teacher made in the press conference when he said, “I believe in the God who put the smile on every baby's face?” In so many words, the statement says that God is the source of the smiles on the faces of babies. Or you could say that God is the source of the inner joy that makes the baby smile. And that says something about God that is radically different from most of what I had been exposed to up until then, and it was pretty shocking to me, but in a good way. As I said earlier, I had come upon this quote when I was still pretty young myself. To be exact, I was about twenty-two. And I had never thought of the idea of the Supreme Being in these terms.           As I've mentioned previously in these podcasts, during my upbringing, I was given a pretty heavy dose of what is called the Judeo-Christian tradition, and the idea of the deity that it introduced me to was a male-God who carried around a big quiver full of lightning bolts and didn't seem to be a particularly nice guy.           I mean, half the time, he's smiting someone for some reason, so you come away with a fairly hefty burden of fear. And that's not to mention the guilt that you get from the origin story. You have original sin, where our great-times-a-million grandmother and grandfather got kicked out of paradise.           And then when you flip to the new version of the tale, you continue down guilty lane, by hearing that God had to have his only begotten son killed so his blood could wash away our sins. The first time I came across the idea, it actually made me sick. But that may have been from just the idea of blood because I've always had one of those medical phobias. Anyway, there was this huge sign in Atlantic City that said, “Christ Died for Our Sins.” It was over a church near the boardwalk and I must have seen it at least five hundred times in my life and the more I saw it, the more uncomfortable I got. It kind of made me think, so this is actually all my fault. I'm the one who committed the sins that forced God to kill his only begotten son, so his blood could be used to cleanse the world of the sins I brought. Jeez, this blood bath story took the guilt thing to a whole different level. I certainly don't want to give offense to anyone about any of this, but a whole pattern of thinking went off within me. What the hell did I ever do that was so Goddam bad that God had to kill his son so his blood could wash my sins away? And why would blood wash anything away? It didn't make any sense to me and to be honest, it made this God guy seem a little sick. Why would I want to have anything to do with him? When you consider all the stuff they tell you that you have to do to try to worm your way back into the Big Guy's good graces, it didn't seem worth it. All this praying, fasting, begging and repenting to butter up this thunderbolt bearing human-blood-sacrifice-craving character? What's the point? Again, this is probably all my own mishegoss, which is a Yiddish term for craziness or lunacy, and I apologize if I offended anyone, but all this stuff put up some pretty steep walls between myself and the Ultimate Power of the Universe. So, that's where I was. Now, let's go back to the idea of the God who put a smile on every baby's face. And by the way, you can probably see why the idea was so foreign to me. Beautiful, intriguing, even perhaps enlightening. But definitely foreign. By contemplating the image of a smiling baby and tying it to the essence of the Deity, a different perspective began to take shape in my consciousness. The purity and innocence of it, along with the idea that immense joy is bestowed by God to every human at birth, was something I had never considered before. And that was just the beginning of many new ideas for me. The concept that there is inherent good within every human being and that all the negativity was just learned behavior began to emerge. And it brought along the idea of universality with it. The image of an innocent, smiling baby experiencing the joy of the Divine within brought me a sense of hope that perhaps all the separation brought on by the world's religious, cultural, and geographical boundaries might be able to be transcended. Again, this was still rather early in my interest in personal growth and I was just starting to get introduced to certain ideas that were actually thousands of years old. The idea that there is pure, unadulterated happiness within us that is not tied to anything external. That there is a compassionate and loving universal power which is the source of all the magnificent goodness and beauty in the world. And that this power serves as a guiding light in life and because it is always within, it can be accessed at any time. And all you have to do is open up to it.   With the birth of all these seeds of understanding, it was like some noble, high minded and extremely powerful group of friendly strangers had suddenly come to visit me in my jail cell where I was imprisoned in the dungeon of my mind. I had been locked up there for ages and now they were telling me about this wonderful realm that existed just outside my prison walls. Then they told me that there was no lock on the door to my cell and actually it had never been locked. I was free to leave there anytime I wanted. And it was all up to me. So, these are a lot of the realizations that started coming to me from that 13-word sentence that was spoken by that 13 year old teacher. Not bad. I started thinking that maybe the kid had something after all. Okay, enough for one episode. As always, keep your eyes, mind and heart opened and let's get together in the next one.

As I mentioned in the previous episode, I am about to begin a series of episodes that will have more of a free-flow format than the ones that have gone before. This is because I have a large amount of information that I have collected over the years which I consider to be extremely valuable when it comes to personal growth, and rather than try to build a context for each one that would be the theme of an entire episode, I am just going to put them out one at a time, without trying to format them into a general context. There are a couple of reasons for this. The first one is that I have found that every one of these ideas has been extremely helpful to me at some point in time, just the way they are. And they may be very helpful to you, as well. Also, if I don't put them out now, rather than serving to possibly help someone in their path of personal growth, they'll probably end up just being food for worms somewhere. And although the worms might appreciate the nutritional value of the paper, the ideas themselves will do the crawlers no good at all. That kind of stuff only works for human beings. So, before I begin, I'd like return to my own personal story and move it forward a little bit from where we left off in the last episode. I had mentioned that my interest in inner growth began when I heard the news that the Beatles were continuing their magical mystery tour by travelling to India to study meditation. Before I knew it, I decided to look into meditation and went to the Philadelphia Transcendental Meditation center and received a mantra to meditate with. The practice didn't really do much for me and my interest in inner evolution left me about as quickly as it came. But at this point, I want to underscore something important about what was happening within my overall intelligence. You may or may not be aware of the fact that I had a few extraordinarily metaphysical experiences surrounding the sudden death of my father. These experiences are detailed fairly extensively in my memoir, “Wilt, Ike and Me” and they were the subject of a few podcast episodes about a year and a half ago. To make a very long story very short this is the gist of what happened. With absolutely no background in this kind of thing at all, one night when I was in 11th grade, I had a clear and vivid dream that my father had died. I dreamt the events as they happened to me. It was quite a long dream, with several sequences, it was crystal clear and I could remember every bit of it. And then incredibly, it all happened the next night exactly as I had dreamt it, down to the finest details of who said what to me and when. Then, about six months later, I had another deeply vivid dream in which my father appeared to me and told me that he never really died. He said that there is no death and that it's just a public relations stunt that God came up with to get people to think about him. At the end of the dream, he noticed that I was wearing his ring He told me to give it back to him. I did and the whole room exploded into brilliant white light. Then back in real life, a few hours later, following my gym class, when I opened my locker and went into my wallet where I kept my two rings, his ring had disappeared. My other ring, my watch, my wallet with a ten-dollar bill in it were all still there. But inexplicably his ring was gone. It had vanished without a trace. Now, even though the details about these events were truly extraordinary in and of themselves, the thing that was important to my growth was the fact that they had happened at all. Underlying the shock and grief that came along with the sudden death of my father was a deep understanding that started to come over me, that was that there's more to this life than meets the eye. There's more to it than we've been told. I mean, how is it possible that in a dream, I clearly foresaw events that hadn't happened yet? What does that say about time and space and the so-called reality of life as we know it? Of course, this was a lot for a standard American 16-year-old schoolboy to begin to grasp, but it lit a deep desire within me to find out what the hell is going on around here. What am I doing here? What is the purpose for my life? Why was I born? What did I come here to do? You know, all those basic kinds of existential questions that we are generally warned to dismiss from our minds at all costs. There's no answer to them and they will just lead you down a never-ending rabbit hole of confusion. Well that may be true, but the fact was, I had no choice about asking these kinds of questions and I still don't. I still have to ask them. By the way, I've learned a lot since then and although there is still effort to be made, there is an enormous amount of difference between the effort of searching to find a gold mine and the effort of mining the gold once you've found it. Anyway, in the fall of 1971, suddenly some powerful events began to take place almost simultaneously. The first thing was that I heard about a unique Indian teacher who supposedly had a very evolved way of teaching. He was all the rave at the time, but I was really put off by the fact that the guy was only 13 years old. He was basically just a kid. I'll never forget it. I was in my first semester of law school walking down the quad at Temple University with my old friend and fellow student, Ted Simon. Ted was already very serious about the law. He studied hard and quickly became a major criminal lawyer, as well as the President of the National Association of Criminal Defense Attorneys. I won't go into details about it here, but let's just say I went down a road less traveled. Anyway, I had a hot dog in my hand and was about to bite into it and suddenly saw a poster taped to a pole which said something like, “13 year old spiritual teacher has come to relieve you of your suffering.” I stopped dead in my tracks and just stared at it. “Whoever is promoting this guy is going to go bankrupt fast. Who the hell is going to believe that a 13-year-old kid is a spiritual teacher? What the hell can somebody that young know?” I asked Ted. I was so flabbergasted by the complete absurdity of the idea that it took me a few minutes to finally bite into the dog. Well, things went the surprising way they often do and within a few months, to my extreme surprise, I started taking this young teacher a bit more seriously. He was teaching a form of meditation that was supposedly quite powerful and in certain circles that I had become familiar with, he was gaining a serious reputation for having significant wisdom. That's a really quick overview, but how it actually happened is quite a story in and of its own right and I will probably tell it in a podcast episode one of these days. Anyway, this teacher's name was Prem Rawat and besides hearing a lot about him, I also got exposed to a few other sources of information that began to exert a strong influence on me in those days. And this kind of happened all at once. The first one was that a lot of people I knew had begun reading a book called, “Autobiography of a Yogi,” by someone named Parmahansa Yogananda. At some point, I got that book and couldn't put it down. I'll go more deeply into who he was and what his influence was on me at a later time, but his writings became a major source of inspiration to me. And they still are. At the same time, a lot of people were recommending reading a book called, “There is a River, the Edgar Cayce Story.”  I had never heard of Edgar Cayce before and the story of America's most documented psychic was another element that played a major role in my inner awakenings back then. The idea that someone could tap into a higher realm of consciousness and gain access to a wealth of knowledge that was otherwise unavailable was basically a mind blower. Another book that hit me pretty hard at the time was called “The Essene Gospel of Peace,” which was one of a four-part series that presented a deeply esoteric view point about God and religion. Along the same lines, it was recommended to me that I begin reading a book called “The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ,” which was supposedly channeled by someone named Levi. This book was truly incredible and I plan to present a few chapters of it down the road sometime. I began reading all of these books within a few months of each other and it was quite a powerful experience because essentially they all said the same thing. Prem Rawat hadn't written any books back then, but he was giving a lot of talks which also said the same exact thing. And the basic message which was common to them all was that – yes there is such a thing as God and it is omniscient, which means it knows everything, is omnipotent, which means that it is all powerful, and it is omnipresent, which means that it is present everywhere, throughout every molecule of creation and beyond. And the most important thing is that it is within every single individual and we are all born with the inherent ability to connect with it, expand and grow,  and eventually merge into it. And the successful performance of this merger of consciousness, which could also be termed, the ultimate surrender, was the purpose of our life, the very reason we were born here in the first place. And if we were able to accomplish this evolution of consciousness, we will be complete and able to have the highest experience of life possible or find heaven on earth while we are still alive, if you want to put it that way. This is the brass ring on this otherwise crazy looking merry-go-round we found ourselves on. And the most amazing bottom line element to me was that God is not some ultra powerful guy who lives ten zillion light years away and can only be approached after you die. No, all these sources taught that you can find the god presence within yourself and ultimately merge with it. The general term for it was “the indwelling god presence” and I had never been exposed to this kind of a concept before in my life. Like I said, all of this hit me at the same time within just a few months. I started practicing the meditation taught by the young teacher and I'm still doing it to this day. So, this has been quite a lot of information for one episode and I'm going to close it by relating to you one of the first notes I took from back then that was deeply meaningful to me. I was reading the transcript of a press conference that was held for Prem Rawat. Again, he was thirteen years old at the time. And by the way, as bizarre as the idea of such a young teacher seemed to me back then, in the east, great teachers who were child prodigies and began teaching at a young age does happen from time to time. The greatly venerated Yogi, Sri Ramakrishna was recognized as a master soul by the age of seven. The current Dali Lama was recognized as a master soul by the age of five and assumed full leadership duties at the age of fifteen. And there is currently a very young teacher who will apparently take his place at the appropriate time. I didn't know any of this back then and the reality is that it didn't really matter. I liked what the young teacher had to say and his approach seemed not only revolutionary but it was deeply meaningful. Anyway, at this press conference someone asked him, “Do you believe in God?” And he simply replied, “I believe in the God who put a smile on every baby's face.” That eleven-word sentence was one of the most beautifully profound statements I had ever heard, and I'm going to get into it more deeply in the the next episode, along with several  other things. But in the meantime, you may want to give that statement a little thought and see what it does to you. “I believe in the God who put a smile on every baby's face.” So, for now, keep your eyes, mind, and heart open and let's get together in the next one.    

Prem Rawat, author of Hear Yourself: How To Find Peace In A Noisy World, expresses the importance of turning down the noise of the world and teaches us techniques on how we can hear ourselves more frequently.

  In the last few episodes, we've talked about the fact that many of us suffer from a case of mistaken identity in which have come to believe that we are actually the contents of our neural template, which is largely responsible for forming our ordinary mind. We looked at some of the limitations of it, especially that it is, by nature, always dissatisfied, that it has the element of fear deeply rooted in its awareness and that it cannot dwell in present time. We also discussed the existence of its voice, called our inner critic which feeds us over 30,000 negative messages every day. And we touched on the phenomenon of self-sabotage, in which we often become our own worst enemy.           In this episode, we're going to look a little deeper into the make-up of our overall intelligence by considering some of the differences between our ordinary mind and our higher mind. Now, even though we have made tremendous advances in neurology, the brain sciences, psychiatry, and psychology, we still know very little about the actual potential of our intelligence. Current thinking is that is far greater than we currently imagine. So, let's dig into it.   Obviously, even though, in reality we each have only one intelligence, the easiest way to examine it is by separating it into two distinct parts – our ordinary mind and our higher mind. In that regard, I am going to present some information from a tremendous resource, “The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying,” which gives a terrific overview of the key teachings of Tibetan Buddhism. This classic compilation of wisdom was first published in 1982, with a thirtieth anniversary edition released in 2012. As an aside, I find that even though it may be thousands of years old, Ancient Wisdom often captures the obstacles facing us in modern times with uncanny clarity, as though it were written today. I remember once reading a description of our ordinary life as lived through the filter of our ordinary mind which said something like this, “When we are children, all we think about is - my toys, my toys, my toys. Then we get older and it becomes – my mate, my mate, my mate. Finally, when we become adults, it turns into – my worries, my worries, my worries. And it just stays there.” Sound familiar? I guess on a certain level, some things never change.   Anyway, let's use some of the text from the “Tibetan Book of Living and Dying” to help shed some light on the ordinary mind and then on the higher mind.              The Ordinary Mind   Let's remember that after years of neural firing and the establishment of billions of neural pathways, our brain sets up our neural template, which is an incredibly interconnected matrix of all the information stored in our brain. By around age five, we become increasingly identified with this template, which is also called our Ordinary Mind and we basically start filtering our life entire through it. It's important to understand that we can't function in the world without it. Afterall, among many other critical tasks, we use it to navigate our way through life. The problem is that even though it is an incredibly multi-faceted tool, it is also severely limited. For the most part, we are given no training in using it at all and we can easily become over-identified with it. If it gets out of control, it can be the cause of endless trouble for us. So, let's take a look at what we are dealing with here. The Tibetan book says that while the ordinary mind does possess discriminating awareness, its focus is largely external, always making us look outside of ourselves. It also possesses a basic sense of duality – good and bad, light and dark, which makes it constantly grasping or rejecting.  And it is discursive, which means it is always digressing from one subject to another, often focusing on a projected and falsely perceived external reference point. After this, the text really gets down to brass tacks. Even though this is thousands of years old, see if it sounds familiar to you: “So, the Ordinary Mind is the part of the mind that thinks, plots, desires, manipulates, that flares up in anger, that creates and indulges in waves of negative emotions and thoughts, that has to go on and on and on, asserting, validating, and confirming its existence by fragmenting, conceptualizing, and solidifying experience. “The Ordinary Mind is the ceaselessly shifting and shiftless prey of external influences, habitual tendencies, and conditioning. The Ordinary Mind can seem like a candle flame in an open doorway, vulnerable to all the winds of circumstances. “Seen from one angle, the ordinary mind is flickering, unstable, grasping, and endlessly minding others business, its energy consumed by projecting outwards. The ordinary mind can be thought of as a Mexican jumping bean, or as a monkey hopping restlessly from branch to branch on a tree. “Yet seen in another way, the ordinary mind has a false, dull stability, a smug and self-protected inertia, a stone-like calm of ingrained habits. The Ordinary Mind is as cunning as a crooked politician, skeptical, distrustful, expert at trickery and guile, ingenious in the games of deception. It is within the experience of this chaotic, confused, undisciplined, and repetitive, ordinary mind that, again and again and again, we undergo change and death.” So, while we do have this vast neural network that makes up our Ordinary Mind, and we can't live without, it is critically important to understand its limitations. Again, this mind is not our true identity and it is certainly not the sum total of our intelligence. Far from it.   Here are some things to remember about it, so you can avoid its pitfalls, which in many ways are the source of most human problems, both individual and societal:   1.     It is dualistic, constantly fluctuating, and reactive in nature. 2.     It generally vacillates between attachment and rejection, which leads to endless desires and negative emotions and thoughts. 3.     It is unstable and reactive in nature. It projects constantly flickering reactions to an endless parade of external circumstances. 4.     It fragments and conceptualizes experiences and its assumptions and conclusions can be significantly flawed. 5.     It is continuously vulnerable to external influences and circumstances which change constantly. 6.     By the nature of its insecure and skeptical foundation, it is cunning, and skilled in deception and trickery. 7.     Despite its apparent instability, it also possesses inherent inertia and is resistant to change due to ingrained habits and patterns. So, this is quite a list. Again, it's just a summary of some of the characteristics of the limiting aspects of our ordinary mind. They are common to us all and personally, as intense as they may be, take it from me, my own ordinary mind makes them look pretty tame. Anyway, we can all benefit by gaining a simple awareness of them and understanding and eventually transcending these limitations is a central goal to many of the spiritual and contemplative practices contained in Ancient Wisdom. According to it, a higher state of awareness can be achieved, bringing a state of consciousness that exists beyond the dualistic and reactive tendencies of the Ordinary Mind, resulting in a state of peace, equanimity, and ultimate freedom from suffering. This is a great introduction to looking into the other part of our intelligence, which is said to be the primary foundation of our identity: Our Higher Mind.   The Higher Mind   We all start out life with the awareness of only our Higher Mind and if you've ever spent time with a baby or toddler, you know how magical and creatively intelligent this level of consciousness is. Its learning capacity alone is truly astonishing. Here is what the Tibetan Book of Living and Dying says about it: “Then there is the very nature of mind, its innermost essence, which is absolutely and always untouched by change or death. At present, it is hidden, within our own mind, enveloped and obscured by the mental scurry of our thoughts and emotions. “Just as clouds can be shifted by a strong gust of wind to reveal the shining sun and wide-open sky, so, under certain special circumstances, some inspiration may uncover for us glimpses of this nature of mind. These glimpses have many depths and degrees, but each of them will bring some light of understanding, meaning and freedom. “This is because the nature of mind is the very root itself of understanding. In Tibetan, we call it ‘Rigpa,' our primordial, pure, pristine awareness that is at once intelligent, cognizant, radiant, and always awake. It could be said to be the knowledge of knowledge itself. “Do not make the mistake of imagining that the nature of mind is exclusive to our mind only. It is, in fact, the nature of everything. It can never be said too often that to realize the nature of mind is to realize the nature of all things. “Saints and Mystics throughout history have adorned their realizations with different names and given them different faces and interpretations, but what they are all fundamentally experiencing is the essential nature of the mind. Christians and Jews call it God, Hindus call it the self, Shiva, Brahman, and Vishnu. Sufi Mystics name it the hidden essence, and Buddhists call it the Buddha nature. “At the heart of all religions is the certainty that there is a fundamental truth, and that this life is a sacred opportunity to evolve and realize it.” I don't know about you, but whenever I come across a great description of this higher state of being, I always feel like something is knocking on some kind of door within me. I know it sounds vague, but I also feel a deep desire to open that door up. What the Tibetans call the nature of mind, or Rigpa, is another term for the higher mind. Now most of us feel that it is easier to relate to and understand the ordinary mind than it is the Higher Mind, probably because we've had much more experience experiencing it. Understanding the Higher Mind can seem much more challenging and I'm very fond of what inner growth teacher Prem Rawat has to say about it. According to him, the Ordinary Mind is finite in nature and therefore, our finite mind can easily understand it. But the Higher Mind is infinite in nature and therefore, we can never truly understand it. According to him, we can just feel it and trust it. And that is far more than sufficient. Even though we may not be able to comprehend it, here is a very brief summary of some of its remarkable aspects:    1.     At its essence, it is immutable, meaning it is not subject to change. Ancient Wisdom says it is not only untouched by change, it is also untouched by transient thoughts and emotions, and incredibly, even by death. 2.     It is universal in nature. Not limited by anything, including the individual mind and ego, it is the root of understanding, transcending all other personal boundaries. 3.     It is inherently connected to the infinite essence that is at the root of all creation, and is the home of our insight, intuition, inspiration and aspiration. 4.     It is the source of all the “better angels of our nature,” including among countless other aspects, love, compassion, integrity, courage, altruism, etc. 5.     It represents a constantly expanding horizon for us. Infinite in nature, no matter how much of its positive essence we are able to grasp and experience, there is always more. 6.     It exists in the state of the “ever new.” Not subject to the limitations of time and space, it is the essence of the “now” and can never age. Therefore, the ever-enlarging experience of it is always new for us. 7.     Whether or not we are currently aware of it, we are infinitely attracted to it. At the essence of our intelligence, we have an intense desire to merge into it.   So, we've seen that there are two basic aspects of our intelligence – our ordinary mind and our higher mind, and we've taken a quick look at some of the characteristics of each. Personally, I've always been attracted to the idea of the Higher Mind. But like the rest of life's endeavors, growing from the idea stage into reality is the challenge and probably the opportunity as well. When it comes to the Ordinary Mind, like blindly stepping into a mud puddle, it's basically effortless. But to grow into the Higher Mind, it seems to take some intention, like you have to want it, like a truly thirsty person needs water. Yet, voices from Ancient Wisdom through to modern neuroscience assure us that it is, in fact, available to us. Some say that our thirst for it is inborn and fulfilling it is the actual purpose for incarnating here in the first place. Who knows? I guess we each have to figure that one out for ourselves. Well, once again, this has been a lot of information for one episode. So, keep your eyes, mind, and heart open, and let's get together in the next one.

I've always been amazed by the fact that there are genius levels of human intelligence that are far beyond the ordinary. Some people seem to be born with remarkable talents and capabilities that the rest of us clearly don't have. That's not to say that these people don't need to work and practice to perfect their skills. They clearly do. Still, they possess brilliant talents that are far above those of the average person.           Take music for example. My mother was a real lover of classical music. She attended concerts regularly and had a great collection of records that she would play in our house all the time. And without question, I knew that her fondest hope for me was that I would become a concert pianist, not that I had ever shown any talent or the slightest bit of interest in it.           Still, she made sure that I took piano lessons every week for about six years, until the painfully obvious became painfully obvious, and she finally let me quit.  On some level though, I've always been kind of sorry about it and I've tried to pick it up every now and then. I've even taken a few lessons here and there but still, all I can do is play a few basic scales and bang out a couple of elementary songs, and that's it. As a result of all this, to say that I have the keyboard finesse of an aging chimpanzee would be more kind than accurate.            So, it always makes me wonder - what's the story with these geniuses, who are able to play as if the music is pouring out of their very soul. They perform these outrageously difficult compositions by heart, without reading any music at all. In a state of pure inspiration, they don't even open their eyes half of the time and yet, these magnificent melodies flow out of them in perfect timing and sequence, seemingly with no effort at all. It just boggles the mind. If you want to see a truly amazing example of this, watch Leonard Bernstein conduct the New York Philharmonic Orchestra at Lincoln Center in 1976, performing Rhapsody in Blue. The multi-talented maestro conducts the fifty-piece orchestra while he performs as the piano soloist at the same time. I've probably watched it over twenty times and I still can hardly believe my eyes and ears. But this astounding manifestation of genius intelligence also has two other forms of it that are just as hard for me to grasp. They are child prodigies and polymaths. We've had child prodigies among us for many centuries. For some inexplicable reason, certain young children manifest extremely advanced talent and abilities at a very early age, and no one has been able to figure out why this happens. Probably the most famous prodigy in musical history was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.           By age five, he was already extremely competent on the violin and piano and he began composing music. At six, he embarked on a three-year career, playing before the crowned heads of Europe. Can you imagine that? Think about what you were like at that age.  By six I had memorized the theme song to the Mickey Mouse Club and my parents probably thought I was a genius because of it.             Anyway, there have been child prodigies in dozens of different fields including math, science and the visual arts, but it's still pretty rare. The current thinking is that it's only a one-in-ten-million phenomenon. And staying within the realm of music, even though it's quite a stretch from Mozart, Stevie Wonder was clearly one of them, as well.    Born six weeks premature, he went blind from having too much oxygen in his incubator. Still, in his early childhood he taught himself how to play the piano, harmonica and drums and along with his powerful singing voice, signed his first recording contract in 1961 at age eleven. Since then, he has won far too many awards to list here, including, twenty-five Grammies, eight Honorary Doctorates, an Academy Award and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. And in all this time, he hasn't slowed down a bit.             Now, let's go on to the polymath, which is another manifestation of intelligence that I just can't fathom.  Simply put, these are people who are able to excel in several different fields, which are often completely unrelated.  Some of the most famous ones have been Leonardo da Vinci, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson. But there have been other, quite surprising ones as well.  I was pretty amazed when I found out that Danny Kaye, the famous performer from the golden age of movies and TV, was one of them. He was an extraordinarily gifted actor, singer, and dancer. But it turns out that his genius as an entertainer was just the tip of the iceberg. He was also an expert jet pilot who flew his own plane. He owned a Lear Jet and flew it to sixty-five different countries, mainly on UNICEF tours for the United Nations. In addition, he spoke eleven different languages and although he couldn't read a note of music, he was a talented conductor of symphony orchestras and spent fifteen years giving benefit performances with the finest orchestras in the world including the National Symphony, the Boston Symphony and the New York Philharmonic.   He was also a bit of a sports nut. He was a single digit golfer who grew up a die-hard Brooklyn Dodgers fan. And as a lifelong lover of baseball, as well as a savvy businessman, he was one of the founders of the Seattle Mariners.           But that's not all. He was also a master chef, particularly in Chinese and French cuisine and he is still the only non-professional chef to ever be awarded France's highest culinary award, which is bestowed by the Sorbonne.            And finally, and probably the most unexpected, he was an honorary member of the American College of Surgeons as well as the American Academy of Pediatrics. He had always wanted to be a doctor, but his family couldn't afford  higher education, so he went into show business instead. Still, he always maintained his serious interest on medicine.           But it went a little further than that. He was close friends with the heart surgeon who performed history's first coronary bypass. He would observe operations, which they would later discuss in great detail. “Danny has had no medical training, but he knows his way around an operating room” the doctor said. “He's so intelligent he picks up immediately what he has observed.”           This was all absolutely remarkable to me because I had been aware of Danny Kaye as an entertainer for many years, but had never heard about all of his other abilities.           When it comes to observing this kind of extraordinary talent, I had a similar experience when I ran across someone who was a child prodigy, but was also a budding polymath as well. It happened when I was beginning to explore the world of personal growth, which was really just a by-product of having been a die-hard Beatles fan for over a decade.   Capturing global attention, the Fab Four had gotten into meditation in 1968 and had been studying under a teacher named the Maharishi, who was a classical Indian guru, with flowing white robes and a long, grey beard.   Like the millions of other Beatles devotees throughout the world, I basically mirrored whatever they did, so I started practicing the same form of meditation. But I wasn't very sincere about it and after a couple of months, I stopped. Then, a few years later, a friend told me that he had started practicing a deeper form of meditation that was doing him a lot of good. A little while later, he told me that the teacher of that meditation, who was supposed to be a major authority on inner growth, was coming to Philadelphia to give a talk about it. It sounded interesting until he told me that the teacher was only fourteen years old. I don't remember what my exact reaction was, but I'm pretty sure I burst out laughing because it seemed ridiculous on the face of it. I mean the Beatles' guy looked like he was in his mid-eighties and this kid was barely a teenager. What could he know about the evolution of higher consciousness? Out of deference to my friend, I decided to do a little research and I learned to my surprise that in the East, this kind of thing does happen from time to time. There were child prodigies who were renowned spiritual teachers.   There was Sri Ramakrishna, a globally respected teacher during the mid-1800s, who had been recognized as a spiritual master at the age of nine. His successor, Swami Vivekananda, was recognized in the same way at age of nineteen. And the current Dalai Lama assumed the full authority of his role when he was fifteen years old.  As an aside, in our culture, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. became a fully ordained minister at nineteen.           Anyway, this fourteen-year-old teacher was named Prem Rawat, and when I went to hear him speak at the Irvine Auditorium of the University of Pennsylvania, I found him to be surprisingly impressive. There was a calm, but extremely powerful presence about him, and he seemed to really know what he was talking about. I observed him rather carefully from the time he entered the prestigious auditorium until he left, and perceived nothing about him that had anything to do with his age whatsoever. Rather than seeming like a young teenager, he had the presence of a secure adult about him. In fact, he seemed to be the most centered individual I had ever seen. But there was also a subtle, yet clearly present joyfulness about him that seemed foundational to his being. Again, it was quite impressive. By the way, as far as being a child prodigy is concerned, he had been in this teaching mode for quite some time.  He had begun his work at the age of four and started meditating at six. At the age of nine, he became the recognized teaching authority to several hundred thousand Indian meditators. But there's also a profound element about being a teacher of inner growth that I found to be most intriguing. It's different from being a genius in art, music or science because in those realms, you can tell if someone is truly a master of their craft just by observing their work. You look at the art, listen to the music or watch the dance, and you can quickly get a sense of how good they are.           But with a teacher of inner growth, it's quite different, because the purpose of the teaching isn't just to entertain and inspire you, it's to actually help you expand and grow your own consciousness. And the only way you can tell if the teacher is truly a master of the craft is by the actual experiences you start having within your own awareness. And this is not just in the short-term. It pertains to the long-term as well.  Are you continually growing beyond where you were? Are you becoming kinder and more compassionate?  Are you feeling more connected to the larger and higher consciousness? You have to determine all this for yourself. It doesn't matter what anyone says, what matters is what's going on inside of you. Along these lines, that night at Penn, Prem made a statement that I still remember. He said if you find his information to be helpful, then enjoy it. If not, then immediately leave it and move on.            So, as a child prodigy, I found him to be most impressive, but surprisingly, he was also blossoming into becoming a polymath as well. Over the years that followed, while his primary focus was always on teaching meditation and inner growth, his considerable other talents spread out into seemingly unrelated fields.   For instance, in the aviation world alone, his accomplishments are truly noteworthy. He is a fully licensed jet pilot, with tens of thousands of hours of flight time, and was one the youngest pilot in aviation history to be certified to fly a certain sophisticated jet aircraft. He is also a helicopter pilot and a veteran helicopter instructor as well. More down to earth, he is also a master car mechanic and one of his hobbies is the total restoration of antique automobiles, of which he has completed several. In addition, he is also a prolific photographer on a professional level, and several of his photographs are hung in galleries around the world. On top of all this, as an author, his recent book on personal growth is a New York Times best seller. And on the lighter side, he is a tremendous chef and has been approached a few times to host a cooking show. And get this last one - he writes his own computer code and is a master programmer. For some reason, to me that one really takes the cake. After using a computer for over forty years, I still have absolutely no idea how they work. Well, so much for geniuses, prodigies and polymaths. In essence, as impressive as they are, this episode isn't really about just listing their incredible accomplishments. It's really about the fact that they exist at all and what that says about human intelligence, and our possible potential.    For starters, it puts things into perspective. If they're only one in ten million, then the nine million, nine hundred thousand, nine hundred and nine of the rest of us have an opened door to feeling truly humble. We've all heard the phrase - a jack of all trades but a master of none. Well as far as I'm concerned, I'm not even one of the jacks. Still, to close, here are a couple of quick, rather optimistic things to consider.    First, neuroscience believes that within the next hundred years, we will find methods that will enhance our intelligence exponentially, taking us into levels of existence that are inconceivable to us now. According to them, we all have genius potential within us and as the brain sciences evolve, we will find ways to bring it into the forefront. And they also say that we all possessed genius intelligence through the age of five, so in one way or another, we were all child prodigies. And finally, the essence of our intelligence shows that we are all inherently positive beings, biased to the highest. And that is revealed by the simple fact that we have a finite capacity for suffering and pain, while we each have an infinite capacity for happiness and joy. I don't know about you, but all of this inspires a great deal of hope in me. So that will be the end of this episode. As always, keep your eyes mind and heart opened, and let's get together in the next one.

In the last episode, we took a look at our mind's built-in propensity for doubt, which is critical to the healthy functioning of our intelligence. Without it, we simply could not progress. Used in the right amount, for the right reasons, at the right time and in the right way, doubt can produce incredibly positive results. For example, doubt is at the very root of the scientific method, which has been largely responsible for most of the extraordinary advancements that we've made over the last four hundred years.   This method, based on logic first began in 1610, when Galileo doubted the Church's position that the sun revolved around the earth. He got in serious trouble for it, but after refining his telescope, it was obvious to him that his position was true, despite the superstitious, inaccurate religious dogmas of the day.   So, that's an example of the positive use of doubt. But it's important to remember that it can also be truly a double-edged sword, and on the negative side, it can be utterly catastrophic. Unbridled doubt bonded to negative feelings like anger, guilt and fear can drive us to act against our own best interests, doing and saying irrational things that we would never do if we were in our right mind. Now we're going take the idea of doubt a step deeper by examining self-doubt, which can be one of the most insidious inner challenges we ever have to face. The dictionary defines self-doubt as a simple lack of faith in one's self, a basic loss of self-confidence, which may not sound like much at first, but it's a poisonous seed that can viciously grow like wildfire.     An easy way to examine it is to break it down into three basic parts; let's look at some of the harm that self-doubt can do, followed by a brief summary of its root causes. And then, we'll go into a couple of simple ways to grow beyond it. So, what kind of harm can self-doubt do to us? First of all, on a personal level, it can cause significant damage to our self-esteem, which hinders our creativity as well as our productivity, bringing on a mountain of regret and self-pity. Over time, it begins to block our overall inner growth, especially in the key areas of emotional, psychological, and spiritual wellness. All of this leads to a general weakening of our will, which can cause major problems in every single area of our lives. As you continually encounter loss of faith in yourself, it can become hard to do anything to the best of your ability. In fact, it can become hard to do anything at all.  Eventually, you don't even want to try anymore. The causes of this condition are relatively well-known. One of the major contributing factors is the way our mind was formed during our childhood, which established the basis of our overall self-image. Along with that, past negative experiences that we've had, including major mistakes we have made over the years are two other extremely significant factors.   While there are many more, they all lead to the one basic bottom line of self-doubt, which is plain, old-fashioned fear of failure. Self-doubt and fear of failure go to together like fire and gasoline – a perfect combination if your goal is to destroy everything in sight. And then there's one final factor to consider that makes it all much more destructive, and that is our propensity to compare ourselves to others, which is something we do all the time. We've inherited this stubbornly annoying trait from our society and for the most part, it does us absolutely no good. Of course, regardless of all this, many people do achieve success. But that's not the end of the game because at that point, you may have to deal with another form of self-doubt called the Imposter Syndrome. It's almost a subconscious feeling that no matter what you have achieved, you still feel that you don't really deserve it. On a very deep level, you believe you're a fraud. You're not as good as you seem. Maybe you just got lucky and success came to you in spite of your inadequacies.  And with this insidious little seed planted in your mind, you run around hiding your fear that one day people will realize that you're an imposter, and everything will quickly fall apart. This syndrome is just self-doubt, in a sophisticated disguise that's hard to spot. Now the good news is that while all of this can present us with a wide variety of problems, it can also help open the door to a higher realm of being. Wisdom traditions from around the world all teach that to truly grow into higher awareness, you have to be at peace with two fundamental factors concerning our human existence. They may seem off-putting at first, but once you begin to grasp them, they can become quite liberating. The first factor is that we are all mortal. We are all going to die at some point and on the deepest level, we all know it. And no one has any guarantee about their lifespan. The end can come at any time and we have no control over it whatsoever. Like it or not, that's just the way it is. The second factor is that even though we probably don't realize it, we are always operating on incomplete information. Experts tell us that we can never have access to the complete and total picture of anything regarding our life at any time. And unlike our mortality, which we all know comes with the territory, most of us don't have a clue about this. And it's because of a very fundamental reason - we just don't know what we don't know. And we can't know it until we find it out.   So in light of all this, no matter how logical our plans may be, they are all essentially just our best guess. And a lot of times, we're functioning on assumptions that are no longer valid. One extreme example of this is the position I was in at 8 pm on Friday night December 3, 1965. I was driving to pick up my girlfriend. We were going to a big party where all of my eleventh-grade friends would be. It was sure to be a great night and I had the whole thing planned out. But at that moment, something critical had happened, but I hadn't heard about it yet. About a half an hour earlier, my father had dropped dead from a massive heart attack and I was just about to get the news. So at that particular moment, my plans were based on information that was no longer valid, but I didn't know that I didn't know. Of course, it turned out to be a very different night from what I had planned. Turned out to be a very different life, as well. So, with this knowledge that we are mortal and always operating on incomplete information, and that these two conditions can never change, it's no wonder that we encounter self-doubt in all of its varying forms. So, the next logical question is, what are we going to do about it? Well, again going back to the world's wisdom traditions, the first thing we need to do is just accept it. Realistically speaking, we have no other choice. And this acceptance leads us to a remarkably powerful inner state called true humility, which in turn, leads to true wisdom. Amazingly, for some reason your heart starts to lightens up a little and eventually, you rise up to meet your challenges once again.  With this in mind, let me share with you two quick stories which I have found to be quite illuminating.  The first one is about a dear old friend of mine named Tim Gallwey. If the name sounds familiar it's probably because he is the author of the “Inner Game of Tennis,” which is still the most popular sports psychology book of all time. And Tim is still widely regarded as the father of sports psychology.           This very brief story is about how the Inner Game came to be. Tim was the captain of the Harvard tennis team and at a big match, he went to rush the net and blew the point by hitting the ball into it. It was a self-inflicted wound, and on his way back to make the next serve, he was screaming at himself. “You stupid idiot. How could you have blown that shot? What the hell is the matter with you? Come on man, get it together. You had that point and you blew it!”           At that moment he got hit with an epiphany. “Who's talking to who?” he asked himself. “This is all going on within my own mind. I'm me. Why does it sound like there's two of me in there. Why am I saying you blew it, when I'm the you I'm talking to.” This enlightening moment launched his exploration into the world of the inner game, as he developed the idea of Self One and Self-Two, the thinker and the doer.   I met Tim a few years later, as we had both gotten involved with a form of meditation that was being taught by Prem Rawat, an internationally accepted authority on inner growth.   Tim was getting quite a bit of inspiration from this teacher, and he told me that he felt that Prem was the most creatively intelligent person he had ever met. I found that to be pretty impressive because Prem happened to be only fourteen years old at the time, and Tim was about the most intelligent and talented person I had ever met. So, here was this genius captain of the Harvard tennis team absorbing deep life lessons from a fourteen-year-old Indian teacher. I'll talk a little more about Prem in a later episode.           Anyway, for our purposes here, it's important to understand that there is an inner critic within our own mind which seems to have taken up permanent residency there, and self-doubt isn't its only stock in trade. It's responsible for the constant stream of negative garbage that goes on in our minds, day-in, day-out, twenty-four seven. Anyway, that's is the way it is for me. If you have it any better with your inner critic, more power to you..           Now, here's the second brief story to consider and it also comes from the world of sports. I was watching an interview with one of the greatest modern golfers of all time. He had won over a hundred tournaments including several majors and had been inducted into the Hall of Fame, so this guy was no joke.                  Anyway, this great golfer said that every single time he stands over the ball and prepares to swing, the same thought pops into his head, “I can't do this,” he says to himself. Then he takes a breath and hits the shot anyway. And most of the time the results are tremendous.           Then he said that after a while, a second thought started coming into his mind before hit the ball.  He would think, “I can't do this.” And then he would instantly think, “Oh yeah? Just watch me.”             So, these two stories deliver a profound message to me. From Tim's, we learn that we have this inner critic within, and self-doubt just happens to be one of the dark cards it plays. But we have a more trustworthy voice in there as well. And from the golfer's story we learn that the inner critic is probably never going to go away. I mean, here was one of the greatest golfers in the world thinking the same thought every single time he gets ready to hit the ball, “I can't do this.” But that voice doesn't have to have the last say. Immediately, the next thought arises, “Oh yeah, just watch me.” And he hits the ball. He challenges the challenger and goes on to win tournament after tournament. And remember, this is a pro, so he's winning millions of dollars as well. Personally, I get a lot out of this. With the inner critic and the voice of self-doubt, I'm not overly troubled by the fact that it always seems to be there. And I'm not worrying too much about whatever it has to say. Trying to engage with it always seems to take me down a pretty dark rabbit hole.               So, there's a road ahead of me that is filled with opportunity as well as with challenges. I'm sure it's that way for each one of us. Maybe we think thoughts like - I can never let go of my anger and fear. I can never get beyond the terrible guilt I have for everything I've done so wrong. I can't evolve beyond all this and merge into my greater self. I can't realize my greater potential as a human being and I'll never fulfill my best destiny.           But maybe it's time to start doubting the doubter and maybe it's time to begin trusting the trustworthy. And when the inner critic says, “I can't do this,” maybe we should just roll up our sleeves, put our foot down and say, “Oh yeah? Just watch me.!” So this is a good place to end this episode. As always, keep your eyes, mind, and heart open and let's get together in the next one.  

In the last episode, we looked at some of the basics of the Higher Mind Training and we observed that our intelligence can be divided into two components – our Ordinary Mind and our Higher Mind.           We also looked at the famous NASA study from the early 90s that showed that an astounding 98% of us are born geniuses and we stay that way through the age of five. Then it starts to wane and by adulthood, we have only about 2% left. But it's not gone for good. It's still within us. We just become overidentified with the makeup of our Ordinary Mind, which for many of us has become negatively tainted, with significant Self-Sabotage.           Now, let's go back to that genius self of ours: Our Higher Mind. This is actually our real self, our authentic identity, and it's not based on our identifications at all. This is about our being, not about our doing. Our identifications, like the roles we play in the world, our likes and dislikes, our concepts, opinions and ideas we have about ourselves and others, are all products of our neural template, which is in the domain of our Ordinary Mind. And don't forget, our Higher Mind existed before our Ordinary Mind even began to form, and it's is far more powerful.           Here is a simple and easy way to get in touch with a very basic part of it. What happens if you put an adult human being in a room with a very young baby and it's just the two of them, alone together. No one else in the room - just the two of them. And by the way, the baby doesn't even need to be a human. A puppy or a kitten would be just fine. If the baby is happy and content, what do you think is going to happen?           Well, sooner or later, no matter how hard-boiled the adult may be, it's going to be affected by the sweetness and innocence of the baby. And eventually it will start interacting with it. But it will do it in a very specific way. Its voice will become higher and softer, with a happy, lilting sing-song pattern to it. The person's facial expressions and overall demeanor will become kinder and gentler, as a feeling of true caring comes over it.           Even if it lasts for a very short time, there are a few things about this phenomenon that are important to understand. First, it's been proven that this is universal human behavior, spanning all times, cultures and geographic locations. If they do not have to be bonded to negative role identifications, all humans behave this way. And second, this behavior is neither taught nor learned. It is an instinctual component of this remarkable side of our inner awareness, which is our true nature.             We've all experienced this and we all know that it's true. It's so normal and natural that we take it for granted. But what does it tell us about ourselves? It actually tells us quite a bit. Authorities from the wisdom of the ages through to advanced neuroscience say that it is indicative of the very essence of our being, which, to use a five-thousand-year-old Sanskrit term, exists in a permanent state called, “Sat Chit Anand,” which simply means – truth, consciousness and bliss.  According to them, this is the essence of our consciousness. In the training, this is what we call our Higher Mind. Now, rather than calling it the Higher Mind, many traditions just call it “the heart” because it's the home of love, compassion, kindness, gratitude and appreciation, along with countless other noble human traits we all admire. Indeed, this is the home of what Lincoln called the better angels of our nature and all of our highest and best human traits are there. And from the perspective of our intelligence, this is where our intuition, our wisdom and our logic work hand in hand together, forming the basis of the genius side of our awareness. And whether we're in touch with it or not, like our breath, it's always there.           So, to sum things up so far, our intelligence has two parts, our Ordinary Mind and our Higher Mind. The negative aspect of our Ordinary Mind is the root of self-sabotage, the source of all our suffering and pain.  And our Higher Mind, which is our genius consciousness, is the source of all our happiness and joy.  The road of life lies ahead of us. So, which way are we going? Well, obviously, it all depends on who's behind the wheel. Prem Rawat, a renowned authority on human potential, as well as a UN global peace ambassador, had a great analogy for this. He once said that if you're standing at a light on a street corner and you see a man driving a station wagon and he's got a cage in the back with a monkey in it, you don't think anything of it. It's probably some guy from the zoo or something. But if you see a station wagon going by with a monkey driving the car, and there's a cage in the back with a human being in it, you're going to call the police immediately because sooner or later, there' going to be a major problem. In the same way, due to our over identification with the negative aspects of our Ordinary Mind, we often find ourselves stuck in a cage. Now although this is a simple, rather comical analogy, it runs far deeper than it may seem. Life would be very different for us, both individually and as a society, if we can put the Higher Mind behind the wheel. Again, there's absolutely nothing wrong with the monkey, which represents our Ordinary Mind. We need it to survive. It should be cared for and made happy. But it just should never be driving the car. The idea is to re-connect with our Higher Mind and let it start driving the vehicle of our life. At that point, we are able see things from a higher perspective, where we can turn our obstacles and hurdles into stepping stones leading to our larger self, which is our greater potential. Even though it may be a gradual process, everything changes because unlike Our Ordinary mind which is a purely finite tool, our Higher Mind has the capacity to experience the infinite source of creation and all the good that it inspires. Here's an easy way to picture this infinite nature of our Higher Mind. First, consider how much real suffering and misery can you stand? The answer is – as little as possible. We just plain don't like to suffer. We may feel we need to for some unfortunate reason, but we really don't like it. On the deepest level, it just doesn't feel right. It's not in line with our inborn inner instincts.    On the other hand, how much true happiness and joy can you stand? The answer is that it's limitless. It's infinite. We can take as much real happiness and joy as we can ever have. And even if we become unable to do the things that bring us joy, we still keep the innate ability to enjoy ourselves. That never leaves us. Our ability to be happy always stays within our consciousness and we always have an infinite capacity to receive it. Now this may not sound like much, but the fact that we have an infinite capacity for happiness, contentment and joy is a powerfully significant fact. Can you imagine really connecting with this deeper part of ourselves?  Can you imagine living in that level of perception, where you can experience infinite clarity, elevate your problems into learning experiences and transform your suffering into wisdom and your pain into joy? Wow. So how can we make this change? The first thing to understand is that it is absolutely critical to use the right tool for the right job. We all know this. You don't scrub your floor with a toothbrush and you don't wash your car with steel wool. In the same way, you don't want your Ordinary Mind to be in the primary position of running your life. That's just not what it was made for. It's far too limited and unstable. Instead, we want to put our Higher Mind in the lead position and harmonize our entire intelligence behind it.           But you want to be careful here because there's a high likelihood that the Ordinary Mind has become habituated to control and we don't want to create a war between our own states of consciousness, because whenever you're at war with yourself, one way or another, you always lose.             Now, there are ways to do this and that is the essence of the Higher Mind Training. If we gently, but continuously prioritize our Higher Mind, we can create a United States of Consciousness, which is the ideal way for our awareness to function. Our intelligence becomes harmonically balanced and it's finally in tune with itself. And we all know how important being in tune is. You can have the greatest orchestra in the world, with the best musicians playing the finest instruments, but if they're out of tune, the only sound they're ever going to make is just plain noise.           But, in the state of harmonized intelligence, there is no limit to the beauty and majesty we can create, both for ourselves and for the world around us. The prison of self-sabotage becomes the freedom of self-empowerment and this changes everything. Your intelligence is no longer out of alignment and its former state of static interference evolves into the pristine clarity of harmonic congruence. Oh, sure, you still may run into challenges, but now you're calm, focused and facing the target. Your bow is drawn and your quiver is full of the sharpest of arrows.  Well, this is all certainly a lot to consider, so let's finish the episode here. As always, keep your eyes, mind and heart opened, and let's get together in the next one.

Renowned teacher and author Prem Rawat visits Google to discuss his book “Hear Yourself: How to Find Peace in a Noisy World.” The book aims to show readers how to quiet the noise of our busy lives to hear our own authentic voice—the source of peace. The cacophony of modern life can be deafening, leaving us feeling frazzled and uneasy. In this book, Prem Rawat teaches us how to turn down the noise to “hear ourselves”—to listen to the subtle song of peace that sings inside each of us. Once we learn to truly hear ourselves and the voice of peace within, facing the noisy outside world becomes much more manageable. The culmination of a lifetime of study, “Hear Yourself” lays out the steps we can use to focus on the voice within. Prem challenges us to embrace our thirst for peace and let go of expectations for how it should feel. With one straightforward yet deeply profound question, he helps us to focus—to be present: “Am I conscious of where I am today and what I want to experience in this world?” If we allow ourselves to listen, what we hear is the extraordinary miracle of existence—an experience that transforms our relationship to life and everything in it. Packed with powerful insights and compelling stories, Hear Yourself introduces readers to an ancient line of practical wisdom that enlightens us to a simple way to listen. By doing so, we can profoundly change our understanding of ourselves, those around us, and our lives. Visit http://g.co/TalksAtGoogle/HearYourself to watch the video.

In the last episode, I told the story of what happened when I was standing on the platform of a train station with a large group of commuters and we suddenly realized that the well-dressed, mid-forty-year-old woman who was about to get off the train was blind. The woman was a professional, going about her business on a normal weekday morning, just like the rest of us who were standing there.  Except she was blind. As I watched her come down the train steps and start walking away with her cane, once I got over the unexpected shock of the encounter, I found myself in a world that was suddenly filled with humility and gratitude. I guess it was for obvious reasons. I've always taken the gift of sight for granted. For me, it just comes along with the territory of being alive. I rarely, if ever, give it any thought. But this chance encounter had reinforced in me how precious it is to be able to see and it hit me with unexpected power. I became in touch with how small of a creature I actually am, completely dependent on forces unseen and unknown by me – like having the power of sight, for example. I felt extremely humble and a profound sense of gratitude washed over me. Generally, when we experience something like this, we find ourselves in a rarified state of being, enjoying the sense of clarity about what's really important in our lives. And then, in today's hyper-fast paced world, before you know it, we revert back to our normal, everyday habit of trying to get the next thing we want. This is what happened to me but still, it was quite a powerful feeling and it lasted for most of that morning. Now real feelings of humility and gratitude are a little more than they may appear to be. We're all familiar with them and something about them feels just right. But modern neuroscience has taken it to a deeper level by yielding a vast amount of data which highlights the powerful effect they have on our overall consciousness. Along with the release of a myriad of positive neuropeptides that can do wonders for us, humility and gratitude can bring about actual physiological changes in the brain itself, making it function on an entirely new level. And these changes can be quite powerful when it comes to our overall happiness and sense of well-being, transforming our minds into higher states of awareness.  And as I had also mentioned in the last episode, both Einstein and Jung emphasized how important it is for us to evolve and grow our consciousness. Now from thousands of years of contemplative traditions all the way through to modern neuroscience we are told that the ideal way to begin to enhance this growth process is to start appreciating some of the incredible things we have been given in this life, rather than to just keep on taking them for granted.             So, let's take a little deeper dive into this. Whether we're aware of it or not, there is a truly vast intelligence that is within each and every one of us. We don't know the extent of it and the truth is, we will never know, because it's just too vast. But whether or not we're aware of it, the truth is, it's still there. Let's consider one small, but truly miraculous part of this intelligence – our ability to heal. A few months ago, I got a nasty paper cut one on my right index finger. Now if you're right-handed, you probably don't pay much attention to how you use your right index finger. But once you have a cut on it, you find out pretty quickly.             Most of us have probably had a paper cut. They can be surprisingly painful, but we all know them to be just a minor nuisance. They're not going to kill you. They're just an inconvenience. You take care of it, maybe you put a band aid on it and it heals up in a couple of days. I've had them many times where the intensity of the pain gradually decreases, then goes away completely. A few weeks later, it had healed so well that I could barely remember that I ever had it or exactly where it had been.           Just a small, everyday occurrence that happens to us all, but what is it that happened? Somehow, my body just healed it. Now here is where we have to stop and pick up our mental microscope. We've all had tons of physical problems that have just healed themselves. We caught a bad cold. It was a real drag. It lasted a couple of weeks until it finally healed. You get out of your car on a funny angle and you twist your ankle. You limp along for a while until it finally heals. Examples like these are endless and we've all had them probably thousands of times, from getting over indigestion, maybe a hangover, to recovering from a broken bone, the flu or even a major illness, we have an innate trust in the healing processes of the body and we take it all for granted.           But what is it? How does it happen that we heal ourselves from all these things? Of course, there are hundreds of medical books that will explain the process, but the basic, bottom line is that the ability to heal is part of the miraculous intelligence that we each have within us all the time. Again, we take it completely for granted, but to put it into perspective, let's say you go out and buy a wonderful new suit. It's perfect in every way. Maybe it even was ridiculously expensive, but you still bought it, because that's how much you liked it. One night, you wear it out to a party and you don't even know why, but when you get home and take it off, you notice that it has a significant tear in it. You must have caught it on a nail or piece of glass, whatever. It doesn't matter how it happened. Your beautiful new suit is torn.           Now it doesn't matter how wonderful it is, what kind of fabric it's made from or how much it cost you. The rip in that suit is not going to heal. Of course, we all know that. You're not going to hang it up in your closet and a few days later, when you come back, it will have naturally repaired itself.           No. And that's the enormous difference between the tear on your suit and the cut on your finger. The suit in an inanimate object. It does not have the power and intelligence of life in it. But our bodies do. Again, this points to the deeper fact that our existence is, by nature, miraculous.           And this isn't just limited to the parts of ourselves that we know. No, this intelligence goes far beyond that. Like if you're having a chat with a friend, trading questions like, “How your family? How's your job? How's that new TV you bought?” All normal enough questions, but nobody asks, “So, how's your spleen doing?”           Your spleen? Not only don't you know how it's doing, most of us no idea what it is or where it is. But something inside of us does. This vast, almost unfathomable intelligence within knows everything about it in real time.           By the way, how's the Ph balance in your mouth at the moment? Does it have the right amount of acid in it given what you ate last night?  Again, this is the kind of thing most of us never think about and we have no conscious control over it anyway. But the intelligence in our body does. It knows everything about it, monitoring and adjusting it constantly.                So much goes on inside of us that we have no idea about and here's one last example that always gets me. Let's say you go into a public bathroom and you leave with some very nasty germs on your hands. Within another hour, by eating or rubbing your eyes or nose, you ingest several million of these toxic germs and now you have a real invasion on your hands.             But you have an immune system with precision firepower that makes Battlestar Galactica look antiquated and tame. Powerful cells called macrophages arrive to detect, engulf and destroy the invaders. If necessary, your hypothalamus directs the production of exact hormones to step up the attack and after a short while, all the invading cells have been killed. They're then carefully escorted through your blood stream into your bladder.  An hour or two later, you go to the bathroom and pee them all out. End of episode.           Your health was protected, your life was preserved and you had absolutely no idea that it happened. In all probability, your mind was busy spinning its web of delusion, conjuring up the way it wishes things would be. According to current estimates, this kind of thing happens within us about 1,200 times each day.           So where is all of this going? It's just going back to where we started – humility and gratitude. We are living a life whose miraculous nature is far beyond our ability to comprehend. And to close, nothing is more miraculous or important to us than our breath. You can go without food for about thirty days. You can go without water for about seven. But you can't go without your breath for more than just a few minutes at most.           Whether you're aware of it or not, it's been happening since the moment you were born and it will continue until the moment you die. And all the great teachers of all time have instructed us to humbly recognize and be grateful for the absolute miracle of it. They say this is the key to opening the doorway to the higher realms. It all begins with the simple recognition of the power that is giving us life.           Now, there's a modern-day teacher named Prem Rawat who has been a big influence on me for many years, and one of the things I've always liked about him is that he has a great sense of humor. He can express a deep truth in a way that makes you laugh while it delivers its profound meanings, which isn't easy. He was once talking about how obsessed the religions of the world are with stories about miracles, which makes us dream big dreams. But we fail to see our own life as a miracle which, by definition, it is. He said once, and I'm paraphrasing, “You can spend your whole life hoping for a miracle, but would you know one if you saw it?  The truth is, you wouldn't recognize a miracle if it was happening right under your nose.”           At first, I laughed, but when I took it in a little deeper, it suddenly wasn't' so funny anymore, it became more of a challenge.  That was many years ago and I'm still trying to realize what's going on right under my nose.           Well, that's the end of this episode. As always, keep your eyes, mind and heart opened, and let's get together in the next one.

Is peace really possible? Our guest today says it is. In this special episode of Follow Your Different, Prem Rawat talks about how to find peace in a noisy world. Prem Rawat has been teaching peace since he was a little boy in India. He became a counterculture icon in the 60s and the 70s, as Americans sought out different ideas and beliefs. He's been a source of great controversy and massive followership over the years. Prem has been sought out and welcomed by spiritual, social and political and business leaders around the world. Prem Rawat has a new book out, called Hear Yourself: How to Find Peace in a Noisy World. We are here to discuss all that and more, so stay tuned. Prem Rawat on the Current State of the World When asked about his current thoughts, Prem talks about the current state of the world. For him, it seems that there's just too much drama and chaos in the world right now. Though the current situation right now plays a big factor as to why it may be so, people are still whipping it up and causing drama left and right. While it is the nature of humanity to seek out exciting events and drama, it seems that we have become morbidly so, despite the situation being something as it is right now. Much so that we choose to forgo peace to chase the next drama. “Well, you know, here's the paradox, because (when) you look at human beings, human beings are remarkable. We've been able to conquer disease, we've been able to invent so many wonderful things that that has helped other people. Though at the same time we can create medicine that can that can prolong life, we can also create machine guns that can take away the lives. So we always live in this paradox. I always feel that we have to choose, and I talk about peace. I feel that we have to choose peace. It's not just going to happen automatically, that is not going to drop from the sky, on people, whether they like it or not. It's just that Something that we have to choose. And the question then becomes, is that what we're choosing?” – Prem Rawat Choosing Peace Prem continues on how we should actively choose peace. Because the way we are treating it right now, it's just something that we expect to happen to us, despite being distracted by everyday noise. If you want peace for yourself, you have to distance yourself from the noise and drama, and choose peace. “Well, peace is already within you, (but) you have to gain access to it. And that's what this book is all about: getting in touch with yourself. Because we are so distracted. In fact, being with yourself, in an environment is considered the worst form of punishment you can possibly have. We have become so attracted to everything else that we became distracted from ourselves. That is a pretty sad state of affairs, when it comes to ourselves. That being with you, just being with you, is the worst thing you could ever do.” – Prem Rawat Can We Really Have Peace? Prem shares his life of going around the world and speaking to the international crowd about peace. Though he thinks that just doing that was not enough, and that is why he wrote his book. With it, he hopes that it can spark a meaningful conversation or even a debate about peace. Though there are those who say peace is not possible, that it is in the human nature to seek conflict or drama. For Prem, this is not so, as peace is already within all of us. So for him, these people can be considered sourgraping, in a sense. “It's a question of sour grapes. there's a lot of people say it this way. It's like, oh no, peace is not possible. It's not going to happen. But when peace is already inside of us, why isn't that ever going to happen? And isn't it up to us? If we can create wars, why can't we create peace?” – Prem Rawat To hear more from Prem Rawat and how to find peace in this noisy world, download and listen to this episode.

His talks have been translated into more than 75 languages, and he is regularly invited to speak at universities and prestigious international forums and events. He has accepted invitations from global business leaders, prison inmates, remote villagers in developing countries—whoever is eager to hear his message. The bestselling author of “Peace is Possible,” Rawat founded The Prem Rawat Foundation in 2001 with the mission to address the fundamental human needs of food, water and the often-overlooked need for peace. The award-winning Food for People programs in India, Nepal and Ghana have transformed entire communities. He also created the Peace Education Program, which is taught in prisons; in countries ravaged by war; in veteran centers and in hospitals in more than 70 countries. The program (also used in schools and in universities worldwide) has reached all walks of life, including those marginalized by society and conflict, and inspires participants to experience real personal peace. In 2012, he received the BrandLaureate International Hall of Fame Lifetime Achievement Award, becoming only the fourth recipient of the award (with previous winners including Nelson Mandela and Steve Jobs). ➡️ Talking Points 00:00 - Intro 3:18 - Everyone is distracted. 10:25 - The state of the world & the state of humanity. 17:13 - World peace vs. inner peace. 28:28 - Stress is a learned behavior. 35:06 - Are you in charge of your own life? 45:49 - Why is there badness in the world? 48:50 - Exercises for finding gratitude and peace. ➡️ Show Links https://www.premrawat.com/ https://twitter.com/wopg https://www.youtube.com/premrawatoffi... ➡️ Podcast Sponsors 1.
