The following is partial transcript from the above named Francis Lucille video on YouTube. (It's a little late, but I would like to start sharing some of my favorite Francis videos. This just happens to be one that I discovered today)
"Any form of belief requires an effort. A belief is not natural.....the belief to be a person, however subtle, requires an effort and therefore it is not our natural state"
"......so carrying a belief is like carrying useless weight. As a result it's not natural. Carrying weight on our back is burdensome. But even more burdensome is to carry the belief that we are separate. Because it is the origin of all psychological suffering."
"....And once ignorance has been questioned, ignorance being a belief, we can remain in a suspended state, not to believe the opposite, but simply to live life in a condition of no belief."
"In the beginning it's difficult because we desperately want to hold onto some belief."
".....it's very, very, painful to us. It's like we are losing our foundation and we are falling, in freefall, into the abyss. But we were already were in freefall anyway. The fact that we were sitting on a solid platform of belief was just bogus. We were already in freefall."
"So the moment we accept the fact that we are in freefall (meaning without belief), nothing really changes, but, over time, we get used to our freefall condition and we discover that it is freedom."
"So then, in this freefall, we are meditating all the time (to answer your question) What was your other question?....."
