Osho - Being In Love
In this video Osho discusses selfishness, an oft-condemned word, as a necessary pre-requisite to true love. You say love thy neighbor, but you don't even know how to love yourself, so how can you love your neighbor? When you love yourself you will find all the altruism you seek.

Mooji - I Am Life
I really like Mooji and his simplistic delivery. Too bad he is always ending every sentence with "hmm?" "emm?" He sounds like someone who has gotten too used to one-sided conversations. But that's okay, I forgive you Mooji, rock on.

Meditation and Wisdom
This excerpt is from the excellent Tao Wow blog
A master does not have to meditate, there is nothing to do. By contrast someone with much baggage has to learn to meditate first before finding any benefit. They must progress and with time get better at it, work through tough issues, battle on. It is tough for someone with a whole world seemingly against them; commitments, habits, plus a past that they took no part in forming, even ingrained habits in the way thoughts are processed. It seems this mind must be opened then worked with. Further still there are barriers in the way people have learned to learn. There is so much to do.
Yet the master does nothing, and the best advice is to do nothing.
What happens is that when someone has that first realisation that something is wrong and needs to be made right that they find a master. This does not mean to find a guru. A master or teacher comes in many forms and you will have many on your path. (The trap of taking one guru, one path, is a hindrance.) Masters can be lakes, books, children, pets, forests, exercises, breathing techniques. Wisdom is everywhere. Something said one day that seems meaningless, something overheard in a passing conversation, a line in a book, can pop back to mind with great relevance in the future. Past actions can come back to haunt - this is all good. Nothing bad is happening, has or will. It all makes sense.
Don't hold onto bad memories, don't hold on to ideas. The more you learn the less you need.
Life can be plotted like a graph. You life may seem like a distorted sound wave when seen as a graph, with no pattern only random ups and downs. The aim is a slow, smooth, sine wave. Waking through sleeping follows a sine wave, you will know how smooth or haphazard. Eating and work habits follow waves too, but all these waves interfere, the waves collide and the resulting interference pattern is your life, your wave.
Meditation smooths the wave, it brings waves into sync.
From entering the path from seeing something in life is not right you go about soothing your wave. Ultimately you can smooth your life wave on the grand scale of rebirth; you can be born very infrequently, very smoothly, very controlled. For now you may aim at smoothing your Samsara Nirvana wave - how often you are in illusion, how often truth. Until then you have many more waves to pull into line.
So the master would just sit still and the wave would settle. The unlearned will try to locate things that ripple the wave, that cause distortion and unbearable ups and downs.
To get from a false living to a true being there is a journey. A wonderful one. You will learn many truths that become false. Say you learn about Chakras and they give you great benefit in finding imbalance in your life. Then in the future you learn that Chakras are not even real and only apparent when they reveal themselves due to imbalance - This is not a bad thing, it is part of the journey. In finding stillness you will have to learn many nearly truths to help you over the false. Then it becomes easier as your knowledge of truth becomes more penetrating. Many nearly truths reveal themselves at just the right times, they help soften the fall from a false, but they must all be dropped in the end, there can be no crutch when all is one. No guru, god, method, style, ..
The hardest part of the journey is the begining as it is a journey - the end is a shock as you realize it was not.

Mooji - Forget About Enlightenment
"My challenge to you is: what if you didn't have anything to do about anything? Nothing at all! ... Staying as Awareness, I tell you this is a trap! ... Sometimes we overuse intellectual faculties... There is no accuracy in the Self..."

Eckhart Tolle - Quite Ordinary
Eckhart Tolle talks about releasing the ego through embracing the Now. I particularly enjoy the end where he talks about simply accepting and saying yes even to unhappiness. I've been doing this for a while, if feeling sad or depressed or otherwise unhappy just sit and completely accept, completely say yes to the current "negative" emotion and watch what happens. Ok, I'm sad now. Ok so I'm frustrated right now. Ok, I feel lonely now. What happens when you do that is you stop the egoic story, my story, the need to continue the mental drama associated with this feeling of discomfort. Then there is a spaciousness around the emotion, a lightness of being which subtly changes the feeling from "negative" to interesting, a change of pace, oh this is an emotion I haven't felt for a while, let's be with it, and watch/feel/experience it evolve into something new and creative.
