now today we are living in an age which is quite peculiar because in the world of science there are no longer any secrets because the method of science requires that all scientists be in
Yoga Teacher Insurance, communication with each other and therefore that every scientist as soon as he has discovered something or are got a good idea he rushes into print and
it's important for him to do so because some other scientists somewhere else in the world might be thinking about something on the same lines and would be stimulated in his work by this man's speculations even if not by discoverers and so the whole scientific world tries to remain in communication and for this reason it was in absolutely impossible
to keep atomic energy a secret in former ages that might have been managed because there were many secrets once upon a time and people were not admitted to these secrets unless they were in some way tested and found capable of handling them without running amok we live in such a dangerous age because all the secrets are out in the open and
anybody can run amok with them and that's just the situation we have to face and that is just the situation we have to handle it is too late to stop it because that would be as they say locking the door after the horse has bolted the vice president of an extremely important corporation in the united states very progressive and very
vital a few months ago said there are two major forces operating in the world today for good or for evil one is red china the other is lsd and there is a certain reason why such a thing as a certain chemical which is capable of opening people's minds in a certain way should be something extremely disturbing because this
particular chemical in common with a number of others that have been known for centuries but have been rather played cool through those centuries is capable of doing something which simply cannot be tolerated that is to say capable of letting properly prepared individuals or sometimes improperly prepared individuals in on a secret
which is very closely guarded and which is as a matter of fact the deepest and most fundamental of all our social taboos i have just finished writing a book which i've had with the sort of tongue-in-cheek attitude had the temerity to call the book and it is subtitled the book you see on the taboo against knowing who you are because that
is really the thing that cannot be let out sex is not really a serious taboo in our culture if you are initiating a young person into life and you realize that your son or daughter is going to college and that you ought therefore to have a serious talk with them they'll laugh at you and say all this thing you're telling us about sex we knew
years ago and we know more about it than you do so that is not a subject for a serious initiation talk to a young person so we have to think again and try and find out think deeply what is fundamentally taboo in this culture and perhaps in other cultures as well what would what information in other words would really
let our let the cat out of the bag and give away the show now quest around a bit ask yourself this for what reason would a person be considered hopelessly insane what a shot of claims master person simply not make well there is one and that is if anybody claims that he is god that simply isn't done certainly not in our culture although it's very
frequent in india but in our culture that is simply not allowed because we most of us from a christian background and if not that from a jewish background and was a great leave in common because both christians and jews are deeply concerned about somebody called jesus christ both christians and jews are in a way followers of jesus christ in
different ways he is a problem to both because he was the man who came out and discovered he was god and that simply is impermissible the jews handled it in one way the christians handled it quite as effectively in another way the christians handled jesus perfectly even more tactfully than the jews by putting
him on a pedestal and saying this was the only man who ever was god and nobody else was really so before and certainly nobody can be so afterwards stop right there put him on the altar bow down to him worship him so that everything he had to say will be now and void and it worked beautifully but you see the trouble about deep secrets as they
can't be repressed indefinitely now here's the problem you see that there are certain processes some of which are what you might call spiritual exercises others are simply chemicals others are just horse sense whereby one comes to see very clearly indeed that black goes with white and self goes with other and as this becomes clear to you it's rather
shaking because it look if what you define as you is inseparable from everything which you define as not you just as front is inseparable from back then you realize that deep down between self and other there is some sort of conspiracy if these things always occur in combination and look very different from each other and feel quite different
nevertheless the feeling of difference between them allows each one to exist and so underneath the opposition or the polarity between self and other or between any other pair of opposites you can think of there is something in common as there is for example between figure and background you can't see a figure without a background you can't
have an organism without an environment equally you can't have a background without a figure or an environment without organisms in it or without things in it you can't have space which is unoccupied by any solid you can cannot have solids not occupying some space this is absolutely elementary yet we don't realize it because for
example the average person thinks that space is nothing that is just a sort of not their pneus in which there are things and we are slightly afraid that not their pneus that nothingness that darkness that the negative poles of all these opposition's will win that they will eventually swallow up every kind of being and every kind of venice but when
you catch on to the game you realize that that won't happen because what is called not existing is quite incapable of being there without the contrast of something called existing it's like the crest and the trough of a wave you can't have a wave that is all trough or no crest just as you can't have a wave which is all crest and no trough such a
thing has never been manifested in the physical universe they go together and that is the secret who really is no other secret than that but it is thoroughly repressed and therefore we are all educated to feel that we've got to fight for the white because the black might win we've got to survive you must survive that's the great thing we're all
working on there and pounding it out day after day in anxiety because this is a description of anxiety anxiety is the fear that one of a pair of opposites might cancel the other forever and if by any chance by any means you find out that that is not so you have an entirely new attitude to what human beings are doing which may be very creative but
which also may be very dangerous you see through the game the game called white must win because you know that neither black nor white are going to win because they belong to each other so one of the problems of the various chemicals which can change the human mind in certain ways so that it becomes
apparent that inside and outside go together is that they do rather give the show away and people who take these chemicals and see through the human game cannot be trusted they may decide to be good sports and go back into the game and play it as if it were for real or they may not and if they don't what's going to happen
now you see what is let me speak specifically for a moment i said the subject that this is lsd lsd is one such chemical that does produce this curious effect of making you aware of the polarity of things it does lots of other things it does lots of rather unessential and trivial things and these of course in all the publicity in the
various national magazines about lsd get thoroughly emphasized in other words when somebody says something's real psychedelic they mean bizarre and when the national magazines try to illustrate the effect of these chemicals with various photographs they come on with blurred photographs of all sorts of things higgledy-piggledy mess together
naked girls seen through prisons well that's absolutely nothing to do with it if you wanted some sort of appropriate illustration for a life magazine article on the effects of lsd you would have one very simple solution you would publish the most gorgeous color reproductions of persian miniatures and of amorous arabesques and of the illuminations of
celtic manuscripts that would give you the story so far as changes in human sensation are concerned but there would be one thing very difficult to put across in pictures because the people who looked at them if they didn't get the point of view wouldn't see it and that is what i will call the sensation as well as the intellectual
understanding of polarity that is to say that the inside and the outside the subjective and the objective the self and the other go together in other words what there is a harmony an unbreakable harmony i'm when i'm using the word harmony i don't necessarily mean something sweet i mean absolute concordant relationship between
what goes on inside your skin and what goes on outside your skin it isn't that what goes on outside is so powerful that it pushes around and controls what goes on inside equally so it isn't that what goes on inside is so strong that it often succeeds in pushing around what goes on outside it is very simply that the two processes the two behaviors are
one what you do is what the universe does and what the universe does is also what you do not you in the sense of your superficial ego which is a very small little tiny area of your conscious sensitivity but you in the sense of your total psycho physical organism conscious as well as unconscious this is not something that arrived in the world from
somewhere else altogether that confronts an alien reality what you are is the universe in fact the works what there is and always has been and always will be forever and ever performing an act called a john doe and this is such a subversion of common sense but is it fact matter of fact something if you stop to think about it that is
completely obvious only everything conspires to prevent you from seeing that obvious thing because when you were babies practically all your parents and your teachers in your aunts and uncles and your older brothers and sisters got together and they told you who you were they defined you as johnny who is just johnny and don't you come on too strong
johnny because some no you got elders and betters around here but you're responsible you're a free agent you'd better be and so when you are told from childhood that you are expected and commanded to behave in a way that will be acceptable only if you do it voluntarily you remain permanently mixed up that if anything is permanent
brain damage so but that's the idea you see because that's the game we're playing you started it i didn't that's the game we're playing we can make all kinds of complexities out of that and really in a way have enormous fun but once anybody sees through that well we are frightened once you get this sense of polarity of your inside being the
same process as your outside and your ego being one and the same process as the whole universe going on then we are afraid that people may say well good equals bad and we can do anything we like and we didn't in any way be further subject to the ordinary rules of human conduct and we can wear what clothes we like or no clothes at all we can have
what sexual life we like we can do anything and we are going to generally because the world is being rather oppressive towards us challenged the whole thing and run amok and a lot of people are doing just exactly that so i want to introduce into this whole problem some ancient wisdom i have really two things to talk about how
cultures which always did know in some way or among whom a large number of people always did know this secret handled it and then i want to make some observations about how we are trying to handle it and how it's not going to work among the hindus and among the buddhists this view of the real identity of a human being has always been known at
least by a very influential minority the central doctrine of the hindu way of life i call it that rather than a religion is in sanskrit tattva massey your it to put it in the kind of colloquial way you're it and it is the which then which there is no whicher which they call the brahman or the atman with a capital a meaning the self you
are only just kidding that you're just poor little me see the function of a guru that is to say a spiritual teacher in india is to look give you a funny look in the eye because you come to him and say mr. guru i have problems i i suffer and it's a mess and i can't control my mind and i'm miserable and depressed so on and he gives you a funny
look can you feel a bit nervous about the way he looks at you because he think you know he's reading your thoughts and this man is a great magician he can read everything that's in you he knows right down into your unconscious and you know all the dreadful things you thought and all the awful desires you have and you are rather embarrassed that this man
looks right through you and sees them all that's not what he's looking at he's giving you a funny look for quite another reason altogether because he sees in you for the brahma the godhead just claiming its poor little me and he's going to eventually buy all sorts of subtle techniques that are called in sanskrit upaya that in politics means
chicanery and in spiritual education means skillful pedagogy he is going to try and kid you back into realizing who you really are that's why it gives you a funny look why seems to see right through you as if to say shiva oh boy don't kid me i know who you are but you're coming on beautifully in this act which was somebody else altogether and i
congratulate you you're doing a wonderful job playing this part which you call the person my person you know a person is a fake it look the word means a mask so if you read books on how to be a real person you're reading books on how to be a genuine fake the word persona as you know means a mask worn in greco-roman drama so if you i come on to
the guru and say well he asks you who you are sri ramana maharshi when anybody came to him and they said to him as people do who was i in my last incarnation or will i be reincarnated again he always replied who's asking the question and everybody was irritated because he wouldn't give them answers about what they were in their former
lives listen who are you and he looked at you have you looked at photographs of this man i keep a photograph of him you are close by because of the humor in his eyes they're looking at you with a dancing twinkle saying come off it now then in these asiatic traditions it is well recognized that people who get the knowledge that your it may very well
run amok and therefore they always couple any method of gaining this whether it is yoga whether it is smoking something or drinking something or whatever is the method they always couple it with a discipline now i know the word discipline isn't very popular these days and i would like to have a new word for it because most people who
teach disciplines don't teach them very well they teach it with a kind of violence as if a discipline was something that is it going to be extremely unpleasant means you're going to have to put up with but that's not the real secret of discipline i would prefer to use the word skill discipline is a way of expression say you want to
express your feelings in stone now stone doesn't give way very easily it's tough stuff and so you have to learn the skill or the discipline of the sculptor in order to express yourself in stone so in every other way whatever you do you require a skill and it's enormously important especially for american people to understand that there is absolutely
no possibility of having any pleasure in life at all without skill money doesn't buy pleasure ever look if you want to get stoned drunk and go out and get a bottle of bourbon and damn it you can't do that except for people who have practiced the distillers art you can't even make love without art where i live in sausalito we have a harbour full
ever so many pleasure craft motor cruises sailing boats all kinds of things and they never leave the dock all that happens with them is their owners have cocktail parties there on saturdays and sundays because they discovered having bought these things that the discipline of sailing is difficult to learn and takes a lot of time and they
didn't have time for it so they just bought the thing as a status symbol so in other words you can't have pleasure in life without skill but it isn't a unpleasant task to learn a skill if the teacher in the first place gets you fascinated with it there is immense pleasure in learning how to do anything skillfully to make carpentry things to
cook to write to calculate anything you want it could be immensely pleasurable to learn the discipline and it is completely indispensable because look you may be a very inspired musician i am not a musical technologist you see and i regret it but i'm a word word technologist but i can hear in my head all kinds of symphonies and all kinds of
marvelous compositions but i don't have the technique to write them down on paper and share them with somebody else too bad maybe next time around but you see so far as words are concerned i can express ideas because i have studied language and i've worked very hard not that i didn't like it i intensely enjoy the work of writing a
book although it is difficult but it's fascinating to say what can never possibly be said so we do you see what's happening what you have to do you have inspiration but then you have to have technique to incarnate to express your inspiration that is to say to bring heaven down to earth and to express heaven in terms of earth of course they
are really one behind the scenes but there's no way of pointing it out unless you do something skillful you see we are all at the moment absolutely in the midst of the beatific vision we are all one with the divine or some i don't like that for the wishy-washy language but we are all there but we are so much there that we like fish in water they don't
know they're in water like the birds don't know they're in the air because it's all around them and the same way we don't know what the color of our eyes is i don't mean whether you've got blue or brown eyes but the color of the lens of your eye you call that transparent no color see because you can't see it but its basic to being able to see anything
so in order to find out where you are there has to be some way of drawing attention to it and that involves skill upaya in sanskrit skillful means so it's all very well anybody can have ecstasy anybody as a matter of fact can become aware that he is one with the eternal ground of the universe but since that what's what you are anyway i'm going to
ask so what when a hero goes on an adventure and he leaves his people and it's going to a strange land he can go away and just hide himself around corin and obscure house and then appear a year later and say i've been on a heroic journey and tell all sorts of tales and they say prove it because they expect him to bring back something
something which nobody has seen before then they believe you've been on the journey so in the same way exactly anybody who goes on a spiritual journey must bring something back because if you just say oh man it was a gas anyone can say that now this is why in the doctrines of buddhism there is a differentiation between two kinds of
enlightened beings they are both forms of buddha which is to say the word buddha means somebody who has awakened who has discovered the secret behind all this it in other words all this thing we call life with its frantic concerns is a big act which you in your unconscious deaths are deliberately setting up so you can do one of two things when you
discover this you can become what's called a frat jager bouddha that means a private buddha who doesn't tell anything or you can become a bodhisattva pacheco buddha goes off into his ecstasy and never is seen again bodhisattva is come one who comes back and appears in the everyday world and plays the game of the everyday world by the rules of the
everyday world but he brings with him upaya he brings with him some way of showing that he's been on the journey that he's come back and he's going to let you in on the secret to if you if you'll play it cool and also come back to join in the everyday life of everyday people because this is the rule if the world is dramatic if the world as the
hindus say is a big act put on by the divine self one of the rules of coming on stage is that you don't come on as yourself you come on as the part that you're going to play it's very bad form if an actor always acts the same way that's what's called a star as distinct from an actor a real actor can become
anything and so but in private life well he's just mr. jones and but he doesn't come on the stage that way so in the same way if you know that behind the scenes in the depths fundamentally you are if you don't come on that way it always comes on as something else that's the rule of the stage because without that there wouldn't be a play it would
only be a reality no illusion and the whole point of life is illusion from the word latin looters to play showbiz the show must go on so don't give it away but the truth has a way of leaking it gets out but then the important thing is you see when the truth gets out those who catch hold of it must find a way of staying in contact with what society
calls reality that is to say if you have a radio you don't only need an antenna you also need a ground so what happens in the world of mysticism of psychedelic visions and so on needs to be grounded so then there are always two directions in which such a discipline works one preparatory in other words those who taught disciplines for awakening in the
orient were always careful to screen first of all to screen those who applied and then after screening them to make them sensible so that they knew how to handle the game and of ordinary human existence and play it by the ordinary human rules in other words that they had strength of character and we're not the sort of people who would be wiped out
because they had no strength of character by an overwhelming experience then they let them in but there are certain disciplines such as zen where you get into the in central secret very early on in the discipline and after that they are concerned with much more training in showing you how to use it how to use the power to use the vision
which you have acquired and so it is with the current what we will call lsd seen that is raging through the united states it unfortunately lacks discipline and i'm not trying to say this in a kind of severe authoritarian paternalistic way but only that it would be so much more fun if it added in other words when people try to express what they have
seen in this kind of change state of consciousness they show five movies going on at once projected upon torn bed sheets with stroboscopic lights going as fast as possible at the same time an 11 jazz bands playing and they're going to blow their minds baby whenever everybody else who hasn't seen this thing look around and say well it's
a mess i don't like the looks of it let's suppose that while you were very very high on lsd you looked into a filthy ashtray and you saw the beatific vision which is of course the case because wherever you look if you i your eyes are open you will see the face of the divine then you come out of your ecstasy with the dirty ashtray and say
to everybody here it is no there is a possibility if you are an extraordinarily skillful painter or even photographer of presenting the dirty ashtray so that everybody else will see almost what you saw in it but you will have to have a technique which will translate every grain of ash into a joke because that's what you actually saw but
that requires mastery of an odd and i'm afraid people think that all it's necessary to do is just throw out any old thing because under that transformed state of consciousness any old thing is that is the works but nobody else can see it if they haven't shared that point of view so then this becomes for us in the united states an extremely important
social problem the cat is out of the bag we are living in a scientific world where secrets cannot be kept and anyone anytime can pick up something which will short-circuit all the ancient religious techniques yoga practice meditation etc said this is all very embarrassing but it will happen not for everybody but for a lot of
people and they will see what all those sages and buddha's and yogis and the prophets saw in ancient times and it will be very clear so what so you see you can say look at all these people who haven't seen it this is a temptation look at them all going about their business learning money and grinding it out at the bank or the
insurance office or whatever it is every day how serious they look all about it and they don't really know it to gain and you can err err you can cultivate a certain contempt for people like that but it's very very bad to do that because of course don't forget they have a certain content for you you see always the nice people in town who live in the
best residences they know that they are nice because there are some people on the other side of the tracks who are not nice and so at their cocktail parties they have a lot to say about the people who are not nice because that boosts their collective ego it would be no other way of doing it you don't know that you're a law-abiding citizen unless
there are some people who aren't and if it's important to you to congratulate yourself on being law-abiding you therefore have to have some criminal classes outside the pale of course of your immediate associates on the other hand the people who are not nice they have their parties and they boost their collective ego by saying that they're
the people who are really in whereas these poor squirrels who deliver the mail faithfully and who carry on what you call responsible jobs they're just dupes or when they earn their money all they do is it by toy rocket ships with it and they'll roaring around and so on and that's they think that's pleasure so the people who are not nice boost their
collective ego in that way neither of them realizing that they need the other just as much as a flower needs abby and abby needs a flower so you when you see the people who you think are not in on the secret you if you really understand you have to revise your opinion completely and say that the squares are the people who are really
far out because they don't even know where they started see an enlightened hindu or buddhist looks at the ignorant people of this world and says my respects because here i see the divine essence having altogether forgotten what it is and playing the most far-out game of being completely lost congratulations how far can you get
so if you understand that you don't start a war with people you might say r square don't challenge them don't bug them don't frighten them the reason is not because they are immature because they are babies and you mustn't scare babies it's nothing to do with that you mustn't frighten them because they are doing a very far out act they are
walking on a tightrope miles up and they've got to do that balancing act and if you shout they may lose their nerve see that's what the we call the responsible people of the world are doing it is an act it's a game just like the tightrope walker but it's a risky one and you can get ulcers from it and all sorts of troubles but you must
respect it and say congratulations on being so far out
