This meeting with Lisa Cairns took place in March 2014 in Berlin. Thanks to Manik for the filming (Jetzt-TV, Lisa Cairns, Meeting01). The believe that we live and create our life and that we have to create our happiness; the dream of a paradise in future; the illusion of the idea of me; the funky daydreams that we can turn the ship of our life in direction of paradise; at the end of day the feeling arises that something is missing; the feeling to have "chosen wrongly"; we have never lived our life, because there is nobody to do so; live is always just happening, we are not the creator -- a credible relieve; no knowing why "our" life is happening; our nature -- boundless freedom; pleasure always comes and goes; the freedom not to look for pleasure; it is here, everything, right now, without separation; not possible to get rid of oneself; the focusing of the mind of how and why -- a narrow energy; expansion is always there; the body -- one of the things that appears and comes and goes in the beingness; also feelings are coming and going like everything -- what a relieve to just feel them without story around them; less focus on the me and more focus on the space where everything is appearing in; the joke of the whole enlightenment story; the boundlessness is the first thing -- always; the destiny of the body to die; there is and there was always freedom; no more endless repetition of the "own" story; when it is realized that there is nothing to achieve; nothing anymore to hold on; the emptiness in everything; sound is happening -- and at the same time is not happening; the emptiness behind the hunting for pleasure; meaning is mean; we love the changing -- but the changing means also that everything is lost; to face that everything will die -- that is cruel and beautiful; never hold on to pleasure; the worry of the people in the rich societies what "to have chosen"; less suffering of the people in the poorer countries because they have less time to reflect on what they have done or not done; the increasing number of speakers on Non-duality; peace in the middle of war; the necessity to kill animals or plants to have food to survive; to kill vegetable is as cruel as to kill animals to eat them; death is death, not so bad as we think about it; the fear of vegetarians of death; the impossibility to be at the place to not create death; the pure beingness of animals in dying; no choice even about complaining when it happens; the mental contraction out of the idea of having choices; about the concepts of souls; the choices of the body -- simply what the body does; so many hate and judgment and suffering is based on the idea of having choices; no entity to find behind the choices; the relaxing of the choice dynamics; everything is one movement; when there is nobody to do the choice, how can we blame somebody for the choice?; nobody in the body -- just life happening; about the concept of rebirth; the idea of the mind that there is something to learn in life; the freedom in pointlessness.
