Being somewhere else is usually what's rated highly.

Being somewhere else, being someone else, having something else--those are all things that are rated highly.

It's very radical to think that you might actually be

complete right now.

It's really...it's...un-American. [laughter]

What would happen to the economy? [laughter]

Basically we'd be [bleep]. [laughter]

"Eh, I don't really need to buy that; I'm ok right now."

"I don't need to go there; I'm fine right here."

I can see this is going to be a real problem.

Enlightenment is going to become illegal. [laughter]

It's subversive, let's face it.

I'm rolling up my sleeves now. [laughter] I have no idea why!

Participant: It's warm!

Jon: I guess so...maybe that's it... let's take this off; it's too hot....

[Audience and Jon are laughing on and on]

[Jon sighs]

Jon: Any questions? [wild laughter]

[Jon sighs again; giggles continue...]

[various audience giggles set off others laughing again]

Jon: I'm not going to do a bunny [puppet] I promise.

I mean I could... Participant: Do it! Jon: No. [laughter]

Jon: This is too small...

It's just getting a little sweaty....

[everyone starts laughing again]

Do people still have handkerchiefs?

[laughter tapers off]

[Jon sighs, then silent space]

It really is hard to talk about nothing! [laughter]

[audience member is stifling a laugh]

Oh, you know, it's just an excuse for sitting around.

Well, I'm glad you could be here.

If you're here. [laughter]

You know, if you're not here

you might ask yourself about that...

like, where are you? [laughing]

What are you doing? What are you trying to get?

What are you trying to understand?

What are you trying to hold on to?

What are you trying to get rid of?

[Jon laughs] Ok.

You dragging that U-Haul around again? [laughs]

I could tell.

Yeah.

Well, I mean, it's good to ask yourself

if you're not just here, where are you?

Like, some of you might remember the Fireside Theater [in San Francisco].

Like "The Committee"-- I used to go see the Committee Theater here in the city

when I was a teenager.

They were up on Broadway. Really funny.

Improv group.

Fireside Theater I think had an album that said, "How can you be in two places at once when you're no where at all."

I thought that was really funny.

But I'd say, be nice to yourself if you're not here.

Yeah. You know, be nice to yourself, like

you know, it's okay not to be here. [some laughter]

It's okay to be somewhere else.

As long as you're enjoying yourself.

But if you have a moment,

over the next couple of hours, you might try

arriving.... and allowing yourself to become

embodied.

Allow your awareness to

fully permeate your whole nervous system.

And also your

amorphous emotional realm, body,

and even your mind--your thought-generator.

That's also part of the mystery and the miracle.

Even though it might be presently a torture chamber.

I know mine used to be.

Our minds are, you know,

just trying to be helpful.

Aren't they? No? Yours isn't? Ok. [laughter]

Thorazine. Have you tried Thorazine? Just kidding.

[laughter]

Molokai? [Hawaiian island] Yes? Ok.

So let yourself relax if you're wound up.

And bring yourself ... right ... here.

Just call yourself home.

You know?

Drop your mind into your breath

and let the breath just breathe you.

And then let your light shine.

Let the awareness that you are

awaken, and expand and deepen.

If it's present. If it's in your awareness.

If it's conscious, I mean.

You might even notice your heart opening, connecting.

And there might be a deep sense of just peace, and harmony,

connectedness, ease.

It's just being here.

That's what being here is.

Complete. And...

fulfilled.

And that's why we come here, I think,

to reconnect to that

groundedness, that openness.

That full-heartedness and radiance.

And allow all the other stuff to just percolate off the system.

Then the mind gets quiet.

The body relaxes.

The heart opens up.

And the spirit shines.

Then life is an amazing, wonderful miracle, right now.

And that essence that we are, that [edited subtitles end here; more soon]

live nationally on ur between permeates everything is everything

and we realize

not intellectually but through the marrow Mr Burns arena
