Shoot the Spotter

This is good to explore because it exposes the nature of the mind so much. We say, the mind creates the notion of the Me and creates a separation, creates an individuality. But the way it does it is not that straigh{orward. It doesn't say „There is a You, you are an individual, you are separate“. It doesn't say that because we can spot that and we know that is it. It says „What you need to work on now is your being in peace all the time“. When you say „I need to work on the peace problem“ you presume the existence of a separate You. It's just like saying, I need to get rid of those rats from my kitchen without ever exploring I never had a kitchen, where is the kitchen? Because we have taken the notion of the rat problem, we have bought into the kitchen. In the same way the peace problem is proposing a Me. So this is the trickery of the mind, the trickyness of the proposition of individuality that it doesn't come up front and say „There is a You“. It will say „Why am I getting so angry? So work on the anger problem“, „Why am I not living Father's words? Work on the father's words problem“, „Why am I not living in God's light? Work on the God's light“, you see. And in that is a presumed You which actually never existed. When you can start reading the subtext of the mind, when you can start checking when the mind says „You need to get rid of those rats in the kitchen“ or even if you say „Actually it's good to have some rats in the kitchen“, either way you're presuming the non-existent kitchen exists. So, both in the notion of progress and in the notion of needing to work on something is the presumed identity.

The spiritual compartment of our head is not spiritual at all. It is the most [inaudible] spiritual. In the guise of spirituality it is arrogance, it is specialness, it is a resistance to God. So it is the most devious form of egotism, posing in the garb of well-dressed spirituality. If you can be spiritual without the fire in your Heart then that is not a spirituality. And this is what I'm ranting so much against these days, this is what I'm calling safe spirituality or comfortable hell.

We had a deal that you will shoot the spotter. Have you shot the spotter or no? [Smiles] The checker guy? [Snaps fingers and gestures 'finished']. Your life is whose problem? That was the deal. Did I say I want checker guys reports? You can come back and share anything you want, of course, but the minute you take any of this, this is also like rats in the kitchen. „I can spot this is happening to me“, it's still talking about the rats. „I can spot that in my kitchen I'm imagining rats“. It's still the same thing. There is no kitchen. So, imagined rats or presumably real rats, the kitchen itself is imagined. So, what to spot now? How will you spend your time without spotting? [Silence] Good, very good. Shoot the spotter, okay? And then the shooter also.
