What we’ve noticed is that people in those life and death extreme situations are MORE likely to turn downstream than those that are bipping along that don’t have the powerful motivation. Because, in their exaggerated experience, they are asking in a stronger way than ever, so their stream is moving faster.

Their stream is moving faster, which means when they get hold of a piece of it, they feel WONDERFUL!

Especially those who are feeling the bondage of jail, or the bondage of something ravaging their bodies. Freedom only ever has come, the only place that freedom EVER comes from, is freedom from resistance.

The freedom from feeling bad is the freedom you all seek, you see.

We know it seems extreme. Could anyone actually be joyful in jail???

We say, “ABSOLUTELY!”

…

When you feel really, really, really good in jail, it doesn’t matter if you are in or out of jail, because you feel really, really, really, really GOOD!

…

We really want you to get this. There isn’t ANYTHING that anyone wants for any reason other than they think in the having of it they would feel better.

There are a lot of people feeling tension. They are all bound up in their thoughts. They are lying in their beds, they’re free, no one is coming to haul them away anytime soon. But they still don’t feel good, because they are bound up in the contradiction of their own thoughts.

There are incarcerated people who are more likely to get unbound from the binding of their own thoughts, and therefore to find alignment, even than those on the outside. But in the same way that a person who now has a disease has a harder time finding the positive aspects of life, a person in any extreme situation has a harder time finding the positive aspects.

But once they DO, the success rate can be very, very strong!
