  1. “My website is www.lockelly.org. That's L-O-C-H-K-E-L-L-Y.org. And then I have a bunch of good YouTubes that are available of doing some of these glimpses and then SoundCloud. If you want to listen to them, so that's all free. And then you'll see my books and other things on my website and events. So a lot of online events where I go through Glimpse after glimpse.”

  2. “Habitual, like, pops you back in there, like, well, you know, but don't you think I should be thinking about this? And from here, I've always thought about this way. And it's been presented in a way that it is this meditation state or it's this time apart or you go on a retreat. And so teaching that, no, no, do it for small times and then retrain your brain to remain.”

  3. “Like, don't just feel the results and the expression and the symptoms of qualities. Look to the looker, look to find that where you're aware from. And so if we start with that, let's just unhook from the small self and have a little simple map. Okay, and then there's no self, and then there's consciousness itself. Which is spacious, pervasive, interconnected, open hearted. And can now begin to walk and talk and type and create and then lose it. And then I say, no big surprise, just re-recognize. And then you just re-recognize and start again and bring it into action and activity. You know, getting that started and then being willing to stay with it so that it becomes the new operating system takes. It's more because the old operating system is so strong. It has such a”

  4. “Thoughts, concepts, and experiences that we've had, whereas moving from that knowing to not knowing to this new wordless awareness that could use words that doesn't have a center in our head, but has a feeling of clarity and openness. So even people who experience that inflow haven't looked that way. They haven't looked at that to say well where are you aware from when you're no, I'm in flow. I'm so connected, everything. So they have the qualities, but they can only get into it through, okay, well, I do it through playing the violin. So I, you know, haven't played the violin, so I'm miserable. I better go play the violin. So this is like, no, when you're there, look to see what is.”

  5. “Certainly the languaging of it is the first one because as many smart maps as we have from psychology and even reading the poetry and the wisdom traditions, it just seems like we're filtering it through our secondary process thinking from a thinker in a subject object way. And so we're taking in information and trying to understand it based on”

  6. “Okay, shift, drop, open, include in these glimpses. Now what's here? And is this a meditation state or does this feel like essentially who you are to which other states can come and go? And when you start to realize that this is your foundation or ground of being and you start to be able to slowly optimally function from this in a way that you're more creative and related. There's a kind of love and a joy in chicksent Mahai, the guy who did the research on flow, called it ecstasy. He said it's, you know, there's a quality and flow of ecstasy where bliss or love that feels like a palpable, like what we've looked for, you know, there's still other lines and levels of love, you know, types of love. Love Friendship, love, romantic love. Colleague loved, you know, like that are different almost like lines.”

  7. “Yeah, so that's again, it's like love is almost the fabric of this dimension of self that feels like the primary dimension. So the love that you feel isn't even just compassion. It's literally like unconditional love. So it feels like who I am is love, what everything is love, an unconditional means there's no conditions. It's literally something that is not gotten through something outside of myself or ourselves, and it's not a mental state. So that's the key to this also is this, what I'm describing is not a meditation state. That's a question all often asked people will say like,”

  8. “Or background foreground shift. So it becomes primary. As soon as it becomes 51% primary, it's like relief, joy, happiness, bubbling freedom because there's no fear. It's kind of, it can't be hurt. The image they use in the wisdom traditions is the awake awareness is like shooting arrows through the sky. You just feel like, all right, everything's essentially okay. And there's a human being that's... Bumbling through life with pleasant and unpleasant experiences, trying to do the best we can with ups and downs. But the ups and downs are so small compared to the new baseline.”

  9. “Feels like it's okay. I'm here and someday I'm going to die and it's not and I'm aware of the part that's afraid of death and I'm afraid of part that feels like I'm not good enough and I should do something to be okay. And there's an essential well-being okayness that comes into these positive qualities that arise that has this low level of bliss and kind of friendliness toward people and things even things seem like they're lit up from within. And it's really this hidden jewel or this dimension of consciousness that's hidden in the background, but it's already installed. And if we learn how to make this drop or openness”

  10. “Ego center as the operating system. Well, either their energy and emotions, they either have to be anxious, which means too much going on to try to manage it or they depress it. So most people are anxious or depressed or they're like in a role of like go, go, go, work, work, work, go to sleep, get up, do it again. So those are like the three. Modes that most and then people, you know, get too anxious all of a sudden something happens, then they get super anxious, then their body breaks down or their motions break down or too depressed because overwhelmed or stressed out or worried. So happiness with a capital H is our natural condition, which is this kind of okayness and well-being from this essential nature, which kind of”

  11. “I mean, you know, like small H happiness, which is the attempt to find some kind of pleasure or satisfaction, right? So, you know, and that's good, but can become an addiction. And if we only know that level, you know, that happiness of some pleasure, having even just a basic good meal or something, and then the endorphins and then then the, you know, filling up of biological stomach that was craving something and then feeling okay. Then when that fades, whatever that is, whether it's food or drugs or sex or Exercise or some pleasure, then what's revealed is what's the baseline? And then it's like almost let go up and then go down. And then it's like, oh my God, my anxiety or depression. So most people, because of the small...”

  12. “And it's like now I can access the positive qualities of it. So I'm not going back. That's the potential of this is that it's like. This is crazy. This is like, and I'm very, you know, kind of humbled by it all. I'm like, whoa, this is crazy, but I'm just doing the work of translating experientially and trying to get people on board to try it out and give me feedback and say, what's true? What's real, what's true? Is it working? Does it really work? Are we kidding ourselves? But it does seem remarkable. I know my life is I wake up. My wife says, you have a smile on your face when you're sleeping. Like, yeah, well, it's just the background. Know sense of freedom, and as you can see, I live in New York City and talk fast, you know, even for a meditation teacher, I'm very much involved and more flow optimal than passive.”

  13. “So that's the amazing thing that I'm convinced that it is this amazing potential that's learnable and teachable and a developmental stage. And I'm just very much more of an educational approach, scientific approach than a teacher guru or something. I'm just like, okay, let's see. Let's get a group of people together. Let's test it out. Give me some feedback. Let's keep getting it changed. But I'm pretty like, what do you guys think? And so somebody like in my course that I'm doing said, you know, I just felt so stuck and couldn't do any of the spirituality. So I went down to South America and did Iahuasca. And it really changed my life. It's just been amazing for the last year. Everything's changed. And then it started to fade. And I was about to go back, but then I took your course.”

  14. “We don't because there's some kind of letting go and then the subtle, so all the strengths that we've used from our mind Can get a little vacation in level two, but then we come back to functioning from a calmer ego. And then we're like, oh, that was good. But the upgrade, you have to go from kind of the old orientation to a little disorientation. Like, where am I? I'm not a self. There's nothing here. And then the system one is saying like, don't go out of your mind. Stay in control. Avoid the void. It's like, no, you got to go. But in this method of glimpsing, it literally takes three seconds to three minutes to let go and then tune in to the already awake awareness that's timeless, boundless, contentless. And you feel almost like you're plugging in or handing off a baton. And then you're like, ah, like plugged in. And now like, okay, now include everything. And then it's like, whoa.”

  15. “Yeah, that most people, most philosophy, psychology, even meditation starts, you know, then we have meditation where you kind of go one level of consciousness and you get some relief and you go like, okay, that's enough. That's just stress management. I'll stop there. Whereas this is, there is, I mean, this is the thing that, you know, it's hard, hard to say because it starts sounding like, but there is like an awake consciousness that is so freeing and so loving and so Available”

  16. “Yeah. And then the fifth level is true nature, often translated as bodhicitta, which is translated as heartmind or open-hearted awareness. So this is the place where you start to feel not only is everything interconnected, but there's a little like positive qualities are flourishing. And it's where your new operating system of flow feels like it's a compassionate flow. So there's like a compassionate wisdom, a kind of non-reactivity, a feeling of like safety and friendliness that even though stuff is happening in the world and you get triggered and everything, there's this greater, almost like something greater than yourself that's supporting you and then you're kind of flowing out with more natural loving kind. That isn't something you're kind of Thinking about, but is just like comes from that ease and well being.”

  17. “So that everything. So, what if we were to use that, like, you know, or unity? Everything is interconnected. So when we go out to this awake awareness, and then the awareness is like the quantum field arising as particles and waves, and then we feel, oh my God, being embodied is connected, knowing my body from within and being connected to everybody. And then there's the safety. When you feel that rather than sky with birds and clouds of thoughts, an ocean. Arising as interconnected feeling of flow. Then you feel this sense of like everything's okay and well-being. And that's the magic move from awake awareness, which is a new concept, to... What's called the inseparable pair. It's called simultaneous mind because it's simultaneously awareness and aliveness.”

  18. “Independent of sun, water, earth, and air. There's no thing that's a separate object and subject. Everything's connected. So this is the interesting thing. What are we using the word emptiness? We should use interconnected. So when I say that to people, because the word it's translated even in the Theravada tradition, insight meditations, interdependent. And I'm like, interdependent. Yeah, interconnected is what we use.”

  19. “And everything's coming and going within it, or you're the big sky mind and thoughts, feelings, and sensations are rising and passing. That's the meditation state, but from awake awareness to this next unity of awareness and aliveness. Is what's described as emptiness. So emptiness is a strange word for most of us in the West, but what it means is there's no thing in itself that has independent existence. So a flower, there's no such thing as a flower. That can be referred to”

  20. “Hinduism. So these are given names, but most of us haven't heard of them, but these are practices that have been done for thousands of years. And this is the model that says there is this nature mind that doesn't deny thought, isn't anti-intellectual, but it is a flow consciousness. That you can either train in a progressive way, or there's these direct path ways to recognize this awake awareness, which is contentless, timeless, boundless, equally inside and out, and then the fourth level of mind is the unity of awake awareness arising as sensation, thought, feeling, vibration, and the world. So this is where this is the difference. If you go into pure awareness or kind of a mindful witness. Experiences as if you're the screen of a movie.”

    2021-02-09 · The Knowledge Project with Shane Parrish · #103 Loch Kelly: Effortless Mindfulness · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  21. “And then the second level of mind is the mindful witness, what's called subtle mind or subtle body, which is dropping out of your everyday mind into more body-based hypofrontality when you go running or do yoga or do chanting or say ohm. You drop out of everyday thought based mind and into this. Subtle body. Or if you step up and watch your thoughts coming, going, you're in subtle mind. And most meditation systems stop there. So, most meditation systems do move from everyday mind to either subtle body or subtle energy. First levels of practice, dropping in exercise, yoga, or just basic mindfulness detached witness. So then the third level of mind is this. Unique, effortless awake awareness. So this is called very subtle mind or Nature of mind in Tibetan, it's called Rigpa. Called the Dow. It's called Turia in”

  22. “Good, I feel relaxed, but if you really felt into, well, what's your relationship? Where are you aware of the forest from? Well, from me. Well, but just look, feel back that way. And then people, I'm walking with will say, oh my God, I'm like connected to the trees and I'm not in my head. So that's what we're doing. We're looking to the type of consciousness that is shifted perception, shift of knowing and shift of identity. That's the three. And so then the five levels of mind is kind of where we go through. So the first level mind is the everyday mind or thought-based mind or ego center mind or the thinker, the small self, where most people live.”

  23. “nonconceptual, knowing or don't know mind, and then to kind of a not knowing that knows, which is the way that this awareness-based knowing that's arising is thought can know. So that's a shift of identity, shift of knowing, and then the shift of perception, which is moving from using attentional system and mindful witness to perceiving from a spacious, pervasive, interconnected awake consciousness that isn't just limited to your body or detached witness, but it's perceiving from this that has markers that most people have felt if they really have been in a flow consciousness or have been in the zone or have been just walking in nature, you tend to feel the results.”

  24. “The three shifts are the shifts from small self to no self to this kind of true nature operating system. So that's the shift of identity. Then there's a shift of knowing from thought-based knowing that creates a thinker. To not knowing”

  25. “Whether it can feel like it's arising to your heart space. Then let it go And just notice a kind of alert. Potential to know or do so spacious and embodied, alert resting. Deeper than sleep as that which is wide awake and safe okay. So that's a sense of. One little beginning. Method of unhooking, and you can do that once you learn to do that, something like that. That's just one door. So I have like Fifty doors. Different types of people and then different ways to continue. So you find your right glimpse door, some people are more kinesthetic, some people are more visual, some people more auditory. So I found that different learning styles, did that one work? No, no, no. Oh, oh. So then just finding a glimpse practice and a kind of a Way of shifting. Works for you”

  26. “Directly from within, feel that aliveness, space, and effervescence. And then feel as if you can drop kind of into the middle of your chest into kind of a heart space or a safe, open space. You go deep into the space within the atoms and feeling as if. Subject and the object are now located in this open heart mind That you are aware of the heart space, and somehow you're aware from. This heart space Just notice a quality that feels open. So it's as if once you go deep within, it feels like it opens to a more open-minded, open heart all around. Within, and notice how you can be aware from here without orienting to thought. If you're located as if the files in the office of your head could come down by Wi-Fi to this home in your heart space if needed. And then just notice the location. Just see where you feel. Your phone number arising”

  27. “If it's stepping out of the cloud into space. And it's as if you didn't do it, but awareness actually is moving itself. And then feel as if this awareness can move itself down. To your smile and your jaw, to feel your jaw directly from within. Feel as if the awareness can drop. Into your throat and your neck. Just check that the subject and the object. Now located in the same place, so you're not stretching attention down from its usual center behind your eyes. You don't have to go back to thought to check. You're knowing, so feel that the awareness, the space, and kind of an effervescence aliveness are directly perceiving. From your throat. And then notice that this kind of bubble of awareness can drop. Below your neck into your upper body, just feel your upper body so it can get a little bigger.”

  28. “By feeling, so what we'll do is we'll drop, we'll unhook awareness and drop it down to feel our jaw from within, feel our throat from within, feel our upper body from within, and drop into what's called a heart space or heart mind as if that's the new open location. From which we're aware. So this is just one way of kind of beginning to feel what that's like. So just feel this sense of your awareness being identified with this location of where you're hearing from, where you're trying to understand what am I talking about from. So then Not just what is he talking about, but where are you aware from? Where is the hearer? Where's the looker? Feel that and then just assume that awareness is actually the intelligence that can step above or drop down And feel as if awareness somehow can unhook. Kind of step back.”

  29. “Just giving kind of some references that some people may have done. The feeling, whatever it is biologically, you can't exactly say you can't say, oh, I thought we were aware from our brain isn't, you mean that's not true? Are we aware from the universe or something like that? I kind of don't deal with those questions. However, Direct practice, wisdom traditions, when you open your awareness to what feels like a spacious view that's embodied, everyone reports that's true and then your brain shows results. The ACC, the Interior Singular Cortex, which is the self-referencing part of your brain, relaxes. So the results are clear. And the felt sense is clear. So unhooking feels like you're unhooking into this. Open mind, open heart. Mind which is spacious and pervasive So we can try it here if you're not driving.”

So the premise is that awareness is our primary way of knowing is like a Feeling of open Spacious and pervasive, and it isn't doesn't have to be identified with thought or creating a thinker. And we can see that when we do stew basic mindfulness, which is just step back. And be aware of thoughts coming and going. Just that move, which many of us have done. Being aware of your thoughts. Is a way of unhooking or stepping back. Another. Observing Point of view that is not your Thought based self. So I think most people can feel that. So that's the”

It'll not only calm. You moving you from Beta to alpha, but it'll actually start putting the synchronized gamma creativity open up so that you're more creative and related.

Let us rest without orienting default and without going to sleep to rest. And just notice this kind of freeing. It's kind of like looking, standing on a beach, looking at the ocean. Or if you added activity, you could do stuff from here. So that glimpse is a way that you're not just using thought to do something, but you're actually starting to shift your consciousness by moving awareness. In this case, it's opening awareness around, which changes your perception. It changes your way of knowing, and it changes your center of identity.”

  33. “Just resting and receiving and then you're going to have your awareness move itself. So you're not doing it, but awareness starts to move from something in front of you to the space. Little more to the sides, then you're going to feel your peripheral vision follow and open, but your eyes aren't opening. But this having awareness start to open to the sides. And then moving itself to The side of your head in which sound is coming, and then somehow letting your awareness. Open all the way around. Just curiously wondering, feeling that open view, and then just noticing are you aware of that spacious awareness, or what's it like when you're aware from that? Awareness that's equally inside and out, both open minded, open-hearted, and embodied, and feeling. Kind of dropped So you're aware of your body from within. And you are able to respond.”

  34. “So just starting with going back to the first thing we talked about, which is the way I learned this without knowing what glimpsing was, was Hearing he's got eyes in the back of his head. Oh, I know what that is. How do I do that? And so one way I know some people are listening to this rather than watching it, but I have YouTubes of this too, but you can also just kind of let your eyes be soft and kind of take in not just pinpoint one thing, but kind of look at a little wider like all the things on a table. And then almost feel like you can feel like a circle of a soft lens of a camera. and then feel like. Hearing, you're receiving hearing. And then just somehow actually realize that seeing is receiving, light reflects off of objects and comes to your eyes.”

They're teaching each other. And, you know, the reports they're making are that they're stabilizing this. So they learn the basics of glimpsing, which is not like much else that there is in the world. So that's the unique thing.”

Already aware, and when the awareness rests into that, it actually Isn't spaced out, it actually is interconnected and arises like a quantum field as thoughts, feelings, and sensations in a kind of embracing connection rather than detached. So it's with the part that's anxious and it's open and bigger. It hasn't created a new thinker, but it's like a, and it's not just a emotional heart. Presence, it's what's called heart mind. So it has this intelligence available if needed, if there's a specific, but it's also. Of resting as this. I mean, I think what I'm emphasizing here is this interconnected feeling of rather than detached witness.”

  40. “This mindful witness, and now you realize, oh, that's a thought, feeling, sensation, it's coming and going, it's not me, but you're still in a detached, disembodied witness position. So, what effortless mindfulness does it actually opens up and looks through the meditator who's behind the camera of the looker who's detached and mindfully witnessing so that we don't get caught in what I call the witness protection program? So then open to what seems to feel like A kind of awareness that's always already been aware without our help. So that's kind of this move that you're like, what, wait a minute. There's kind of an effortless, and that's what the word effortless is pointing to. It's like it seems like, oh, behind all this, without concentrating and trying, there's a kind of a natural alertness that has a softness.”

  41. “I mean, the thing about it's almost like a It's another level of knowing. It's like that paradox makes sense in some ways because it kind of feels like that when you say that. Consciously without consciously, like consciously, without words or consciously without concepts, like it's almost more, it's not intuition. It's almost something different than intuition. Everyone's experienced it, but it's not on any map in the West. That's why the language is so hard. But those kind of paradoxes are almost show that's right. You're in the right territory consciously, but not conceptually or something. Okay, so I would say maybe if I were to put a third one there that you're saying, I'd make that more a mindful awareness. So from mindfully mindfulness-based psychotherapy or mindfulness-based insight, you've kind of established”

  42. “Awake consciousness, whichever you want to call that, but you'll feel it. You feel that is not a part of you. It's this, some people call it consciousness itself. It isn't a new location, even when it's called self with a big S, it feels like me, but it's also, if you look at it, it's like, is there a location? No, it's everywhere, nowhere, and here. And that's the... That feels safe because you're interconnected. And kind of there's a new ground. Feeling that isn't in thought and it isn't just in your body.”

  43. “Flow and kind of open hearted presence, and it starts to be part of this bigger team that has some help rather than one part that's anxious and the other part that says, don't be so anxious. Another part says, well, I'll tell you how not to be anxious. Just be positive. Another part that says, you know, you have a right to be anxious. Let's prepare by staying up all night and writing the report, you know, like it's like all those parts from this bigger no self- or open-hearted awareness or”

  44. “From this? And then how do you feel toward that part from this more spacious awake? not from just your head but from kind of an open heartedness and that if I say who's aware of that part people will often say What do you mean I? You mean the ego? No. Like the real me. Like the me, like the me that I knew when I was four, you know, like, like, or when I'm really me or something. So that feeling of being. Is here, we've all tasted it, so that starting with that feeling that, and then feeling like, oh, there's a part of me that's anxious. I'm with it. Is there anything that needs to be known? So then intelligence can then be specific. You know, oh, I'm afraid of. What might happen with the situation at work? Okay, so then you start working with it, both in terms of intelligence and”

  45. “And then rather than saying, what are you anxious about? Because some people are like, I don't know. I think it's maybe this, maybe that, maybe this. Soothing, calming the body, nervous system, chattering mind relax, then finding this, so someone might say their throat, I'm anxious, where do you feel that it's in my throat right here? What's its shape, size, color, what is it communicating to you? So you really like give it a voice, give it a felt sense, a location because you're developing it as a part of you and noticing, oh, somebody might say the cortisol and adrenaline is running through their whole body, so well, my whole body's anxious. And you could find a center of that, or sometimes I'll use the whole body. Okay, so is it outside your body? No, I guess it's not. So, okay, so then your body is a part of you. Can you ask that part to give you some space? And then can you open into that space and be aware of that part?”

  46. “I work with kind of a simple set of practices where you do kind of a three-part breath and then breathe out a little slower. And what that does is it addresses the autonomic nervous system and your polyvagal nerves and it also gives you one-pointed attention and it oxygenates your system. So there's certain preparations to get you out of that initial anxiety, but primarily it's finding that which is already here that isn't anxious. And then as that go back and check out what that part of you that's anxious. Is worried about. So it's upgrading. And then there's a psychotherapy version of that that I could go through as well, which is starting with the anxiety and locating it, physicalizing it and saying where in or around your body are you anxious.”

  47. “Yeah, so there's two approaches. One is One is the basic training. So I have kind of a bunch of hats that I'm interested in. As a psychotherapist, kind of an awakening teacher or meditation teacher, neuroscience, bringing neuroscience. And from the meditation awakening, it's really about, okay, let's not deal with the symptom. Let's train you over time to not focus on what's arising, but who or what is it arising to. That's the key. We're not going to focus on changing your thoughts or trying to mitigate primarily. I mean, you would always start with things that are basic calming and soothing practices. So there's ways to just”

  48. “Beautiful hill with my friends, and now I'm at the top, and I'm looking over this beautiful space and this view, and I'm feeling that I can let go of seeking and be connected to nature and people and this sense of well-being and freedom. And then you go back to work and say, oh my God, I don't have a vacation for six months to be able to go back to that place because that's where it is. So what if that were actually just a background foreground shift that was done through external events, people, places, and things? What if it didn't have to do with? Place and things that that same sense of well being was our essential nature in this next phase of development.”

  49. “And so this is the tertiary or the third level of both knowing and identity that what has the capacity to bear what seemed to be unbearable and wants to do it and can do it and that this no small ego can live a fully intimate happy life because it will always be dualistically comparing, contrasting, striving, feeling not good enough or can get into kind of a role like I'm doing well, I'm positive thinking but There's a feeling of being that we've all felt when we're relaxed and at ease. And what if that wasn't related to the conditions like Om on vacation, OM climbed up this?”

It's almost seeing it in the frame of that there's a developmental stage. So there's different ways of thinking about it, but there's children or babies are talked about having primary process thinking, and then the next stage is you develop secondary process thinking, which is conceptual thinking, comparing, contrasting. And then we stop there with the ego function and the smart parts of us.”
