Audio: Toni Packer 2007

The following talks by Toni Packer are available on both CD and audio tape.

Day 1	Non-evaluating presence. Distrusting our images of others. Presence interrupts the process of evaluating in relation to "me." Undivided sensing, without naming, "now I'm seeing, now I'm hearing." Thinking we know people from memories is lethal to relationship. (35 mins)
Day 2	Loss and grief. "How do you find the still point amid turbulence?" In awareness, let all come and go. Plans are shown up by loss as meaninglessness, illusory. "Shouldn't we grieve?" I don't say "should" or "shouldn't." Understand it deeply, and let the seeing end it. (36 mins)
Day 3	Effortlessness, "wu wei." Until effortlessness presents itself, we can't help effort-ing - coming from thinking. "Effort" or "effortlessness" can be misleading terms. The question is, how does this life-energy (which we are) manifest? How still and collected can this energy be, gathered in non-striving? Wholeness, one-ness, is our true natural condition. (34 mins)
Day 5	What is conscience? Are there absolute right and wrong? Limbic system records experience with evaluation, good or bad. What we think of as God-given conscience was most likely recorded in the past. "Forgiving" - if it couldn't have done otherwise, who am I to either blame or forgive? "We know so little of a killer's life!" "Justice" considers a truncated biography. The total past of the universe, back to the Big Bang, manifests at this moment. The relative world of right and wrong is arbitrary, human-made. (37 mins)
