it and drop it.
So first live sadness for a few days, and the second thing to remember is, the moment that momentum of sadness goes, you will feel very calm, peaceful -- as one feels after a storm. In that moment sit silently and enjoy the silence that is coming on its own. You have not brought it; you were bringing sadness. When sadness goes, in the wake, silence settles.
Listen to that silence. Close your eyes. Feel it... feel the very texture of it... the fragrance. And if you feel happy, sing, dance.
Continue these two things, and after two weeks tell me, mm? Everything will be good. Good.
[The Enlightenment Intensive group are present. A participant from says: it was the hardest group for me. I experienced a lot in my body, having to sit in one place for so long -- and I went back to where that all came from.

I understand, mm .... Childhood conditioning falls very deeply, and... church can create that.
Sitting itself is a great experience, and if you don't destroy this conditioning -- it is just an accident -- you will miss a beautiful, a very very beautiful experience of just sitting.
That's why in all the other groups you were feeling very very happy: they were all active, and you were moving and saying things and doing things, and much was going on. This group has brought you up against your conditioning. In fact this has been the most valuable. You enjoyed the others more, but that is not the ultimate value. This has been the most valuable. It has brought up something which exists as a barrier in your unconscious. It has hit hard exactly at the centre. Now you have to unlearn that conditioning.
Two things can be done. One is, the Primal group -- that will be helpful. Once this conditioning is dropped and you can sit and enjoy without any rebelliousness, a new dimension will be opened into your being.
All meditations deep down are nothing but sitting. These other groups are all western. This group is not... it is basically
