“If you really look at
every desire you have,
it is there to avoid
feeling what is here in this moment.
 
You set goals
and make plans.
 
And do many enjoyable
and fun things.

And all of this is lovely.
 
But after you attain what you want,
after you have had your holiday
or won the marathon,
you are again faced
with yourself
in this moment.
 
You are again confronted
with whatever is here in this moment
that you keep avoiding.
 
It might be emptiness,
or sadness,
or loneliness.
 
Boredom really is a state
where you have run out of ways
of distracting yourself from this moment.
 
So you invent more and more ways,
more and more actions
to keep your from stillness.
 
Unfortunately,
in all of this seeking happiness,
you are avoiding happiness.
 
I suggest to you,
in love,
to stop avoiding this moment.
 
To stop looking to feel something
else than what is here.
 
Even if it is emptiness,
to surrender yourself
to that emptiness.
 
To truly be here
in this moment.
To give yourself completely
in silence
to being present
here and now.
 
Because here,
beyond what you are avoiding
lies unconditional happiness.
 
What you were looking for
all along.

There is nothing you need to do.
Just stop all doing.
Stop all action.
 
Let go of everything
that can be let go of.
 
Then there is unfathomable peace.
Subtler and subtler levels of awareness.
 
The weight and stress
of ego
disappears in an instant,
and you rest as radiance.
 
Once you really
surrender into stillness,
and experience this peace,
you may never want to leave.
 
Blessings,
 
Kip”

“Why struggle meditating on your own for decades to experience
the stillness you could attain within minutes of listening the these CDs.”
 
 
      “How does one really define a euphoric, rapturous,
       high in the heavenly realm, peaceful, blissful plane in one word! 
 
       I went through many phases of emotions
       from crying to bliss to peace beyond description.
       The world needs to know about your work!”
     
      (Gina Hakeem Reavis, Tenn., USA)
