“Good
morning Burt, Wow when I saw your video this morning I understood
how many ways God works and is, to be able to send a beautiful message
to a little box where people can open it up and listen to it - amazing.
Thank you for satsang, it was the warmest and most relaxing feeling
of oneness. Your message regarding how to handle gossip has been really
helping me. Yesterday I knew I was going to have a situation where
2 very good friends of mine were going to clash & put me in the middle.
By putting me in the middle I mean each one would talk about the other
(gossip) to me. I felt so peaceful about it, I envisioned the shining
light around them and them loving each other & instead of worrying
about how I would handle it I realized I didn’t have to worry
that God would put the words in my mouth so I didn’t have to
worry or even think about it & it felt joyful. The peace I feel everyday,
the love for everything - there are no words to capture it. I know
it was always there but you guided me back to it, what a blessing
you are... and yes I do know there is no I and we are all one...”

“Hi
Burt, Just to thank you again for bringing me back once again from
drowning in the leela world into the finer air. Water leaked out of
my eyes to read your latest Silent Watcher talks, and put me back
where I belong...”

“My

me ever so close to be the love I am. Thank you so much Burt....Thank

“My
Dearest Friend Burt: I am so moved and touched by your spirit and
the spirit of Bhagavan. I will look so forward to purchasing this
booklet. With all youn have taught me I have an overwhelming feeling
of love and insight that I wouldn’t have ever dreamed of receiving.
You have given me a most amazing gift which I will treasure always.
I am so sorry I missed Satsang last night. I came down with a bad
cough and sore throat this weekend and am still feeling under the
weather. I have your newest article which I will enjoy reading today.
I do plan to be at the next Satsang and hopefully purchase some new
tapes. I can’t tell you enough how much joy and awareness you
have brought into my life. I am forever grateful. Have a wonderful
day. Love you dearly T.”

“Hi
Burt, I reloaded Adobe and it worked!!! I am ready to read beyond
the words of “Attention is your nature”. I am learning to
give myself attention and communicate with Source when I feel confusion
about the computer. Thank you soo much for your love and attention,
I feelÊblessed that you are one of my teachers of Source in the Now!!
Eternally grateful, D.”

“Aum
Sai Ram Happy birthday and happy St. Valentine’s Day. I wonder
if these days have much effect on you because you express so much
love always. Your satsangs are such aÊgift to me. I just wish to say
thank you.ÊI send my love to Sivia also. Have a beautiful IS, Prema.”

“Good
morning Burt, I am so grateful that God has given meÊyou as a teacher,
such aÊpreious gift. I read your email many times for many days and
after a few days an amazing peace & understanding came over me, one
of those times there are no words to describe the feeling. I am more
relaxed now, I never thought of it as having an eternity to learn
- that’s wonderful. I’m listening with love and no expectations
diligently to my inner body. And amazingly enough Burt when I relax
and listen to my inner body before I meditate there is no pain in
my eyes. When I honour the Now and feel timeless I understand more,
things are clearer & just there. Yes you are right it is all learning
to trust & although I do trust God will take care of meÊI forgot to
TrustÊthat he will help me learn. It was funny when I read your answer
about the Chakras - it triggered a memory about a book I had read
several years ago about the chakras - I had totally forgotten about
it - it was so hard to get thru andÊso boring that I forgot all about
it!! I had to laugh when I realized that. J.”

“Well
.....I have to laugh, I am not sure which will wear out first.....the
tape recorder or the tape. You have outdone yourself once again in
‘The Fire That Burns’! I read it ( the newsletter) and marked
up the pages with underlines, yellow marker and colored pencil. Then
I got the tape and I have used the rewind so much I wonder if I will
have to order another tape. It really is good and I don’t know
if it is my ego that is helping me not hear because every time I play
it I hear something I missed, or maybe it is the sugar I ate yesterday
:-) . Even though I am taking notes, each time I use the rewind the
message rings another bell. My lesson today was ‘God is in everything
I see because God is in my mind.’ When I heard ‘You are
the universe in miniature form...you are that!’ another bell
rang. This has been such a good year. Everything seems to be making
sense and all of my studies seems to be fitting together in one package.
It is so absolutely delightful!!! Thank you for bringing it all together.
Much Love, P.”

“Dear
Burt, My gratitude flows to you for the great satsang on Thursday.
The vibrations increased as you transmitted. Great joy was awakened
as you climaxed at “nothing”. The challenges of life were
forgotten as realization came as just Being. Self-inquiry is the way
to the jewel. Prema, J.”

“Dear
Burt, I came up after supper to send out a note that needed attention
and.... I found your reply and #48. I was hit with such unconditional
love that I burst out crying. Thank you for “understanding”
and your love. It released something that was dammed up. Thank you,
A.”

“Hi
Burt, Merry Christmas to you and Sivia. I appreciate your writing
very much. I torture my ego with it a couple of hours a day during
my commute: Of course, thanking you is like thanking my heart for
pumping my blood, my lungs for breathing, or my eyes for seeing. You
do what you do for us. I had a thought this morning, while reading
your material, and that is what we create our own duality. Duality
is necessary for our experience, but it does not exist. Also, the
duality cup is always full, exactly. It is like the concept that if
we look for smaller and smaller particles that make up the universe,
we will find them and see that they were always there - maybe! Our
looking is creation. Our creation includes duality as an essence of
creation. Creation could happen another way, but I only see or understand
this way, the human exploration quest way. I think of you often, and
mentally refer to your reminders (and others) almost constantly. I
wish you health, happiness, and all good thoughts; always. Love, J.”

“Hello
Dear Burt, It has been some busy time since I actually sat in front
of my computer and read one of your satsangs, (busy life and summer)
but boy did I hit the jackpot with this one! Thank you thankyou thankyou
for highlighting so clearly what we all do as we grope about in our
human state! i saw myself in all of the Buddhas definitions but what
was best of all were the words on not being able to escape it, just
allow it and be aware. I almost cried at such words of love, that
we reallyare completely accepted with all the greed and ugliness and
self-protection and that if only we open our eyes it all changes without
changing. Thank you Burt, God bless you.”

“Dear
Burt and Sivia - I just want to say thank you to both of you for so
easily and innocently opening your home to satsang gathering. You
both do it in a lovely way, welcoming all. I especially appreciate
the tender quality of the group, who seem so wide-eyed and child-like.
Now that I have come twice, I especially appreciate Burt’s manner
of carving out the clarity of his topic, carrying it always down into
the empty “truth” where it lies still.”

“Hi
Burt, Thanks so much for your answer to my question. I feel enrichedÊandÊloved
by your heartfelt and thorough response. The wisdom that flows through
you continues to be an inspiration to me. Thanks Burt.”

“Dear
Burt, I just can’t thank you enough for all the wonderful words
of wisdom you share with us!!Ê The Art of Being in Love is sooooo
good! Can I pass it on to all my friends? I share almost every thing
I read (when appropriate) as I have more time (retired and live alone
on my mountain) than most of my friends. I have three granddaughters
that certainly need to hear this as well as the world. The day I found
your web sight was one of the luckiest days of my life! :-) And I
mean that with all my heart. Thank You, Thank You...I have read almost
everything on your site and am anxiously waiting for your book to
arrive. I always have lots to think about as I chop my wood for winter.
I Love you :-)”

“
Burt, I am very grateful for your patienceÊwith my “blocks.”
Sometimes we need to be dealt with harshly and sometimes with understanding,
to “wake us up.” Life, when you don’t interfere with
too much with “doing” (controlling and interfering) is leading
us to see truth. It allows a person to “listen” to consequences
presented. Anything painful is there to bring your attention to what
illusion you have identified with. I listened to the tape you gave
me last night... In the last part you said that we are ALLÊawareness,
or something similar. Of course...this body is just a shell, a tool
for awareness, not what “we” really are. Anyway, I know
I don’t have to explain it further...just wanted to tell you
that I really got it! It is so beautiful. We are not “individually”
aware...we are all, everything awareness...this is the oneness, etc.Ê
I feel like this is a new beginning, this quiet dawning of truth upon
my mind. I can thank you (and J.) for breaking down my mental resistances.
Not running away but “listening” to the emotional pain facilitated
looseningÊthe mental gripÊof conditioning, ofÊa personal identity
leading me to see “a better way,” the alternative way. Your
honesty of sharing with me “how men are” “where they
come from,” etc. helped me understand so much....like the missing
piece of the puzzle. I was mainly only coming from “my position“
(my mental position as Eckhart would say). I understand now about
confusion and how it is connected to (my) control.ÊÊNow I feelÊI have
more of the whole picture, esp. bringing in the “3rd” factor...being/awareness.

Hello Burt! That was a wonderful Satsang. Beyond the words, even beyond
all of us there in that last moment when we were sitting in the circle
in silence, there was something -- awesome. I am glad I came. Love
Always.”

I. N., Vancouver B.C., Canada
“Hi
Burt, I just wanted to drop you this note of thanks. You are frequently
in my thoughts and conversations, usually as my personal, or shared
reminder of perspectives beyond what appears ‘normal’ to
me. In conversation, it is wonderful to have your reminders as a third
party to draw upon to share a view without triggering others along
the way - reminders for both me, both parrot and thinker, and for
whom I am engaging. You are frequently quoted with humor and even
irony. Also, the phrases, ‘I think Burt might say...’ or,
‘Burt might see it...’ crop up several times a week, even
when I am both parts of a dialog. I really enjoy your inflections
and enthusiasm when you say, ‘It is so simple!’ Your shared
thoughts, words, and personality - your presence - are frequent reminders
of the truth, of open perspectives, and easy acceptance. I hope you
get a great ‘kick’ out of sharing your growth. I do. I appreciate
you, Burt, all of you that I know. I hear that L. feels the same way.
I don’t see you much, but you are with me always. Love, J.”

J., Vancouver B.C., Canada
“Burt,
I have had quite a few challenges the past two years. But in spite
of those challenges I haveÊbeen given the best gift of all. And that
is meeting you through A. and S. Being close toÊyou in Satsang, your
tapes, your words and your grace hasÊshown me that all my challenges
are just a game. I am so grateful to be in your presence. Truly there
is no greater gift a master can giveÊone than the gift of helping
one recognize the truth of their being. Somewhere in the past we made
a pact and you took on the task of helping me walk the path of deepening.
Thank you from my heart to yours. Words don’t really express
how I feel. But IÊknow you know (smile). Wishing you love, laughter
and abundance”

“Dear
Burt, Please accept these monthly checques as a small token of gratitude
for your on-going generosity towards all who ask for your help on
personal and spiritual matters. You truly are a generous, loving and
giving man, who is a true reflection of the ‘One without a second!’
Although, I only come to your Satsang occasionally, I find your email
newsletters and articles to be truly inspiring and full of Dharma
wisdom. Blessings to you and Sivia!”

“Dear
Burt, Your book arrived today. Thanks so much. It is a wonderful clarification
of a process (not a good word) I was introduced to when K. and I used
to host Arnold Patent support groups - the ‘feeling’ process.
However, you have outlined it in an extremely clear way and elaborated
on it without losing the utter simplicity of it. Interesting to note
(but not surprising either) that very few people opted to do the process
or when they did, did it mentally, without feeling anything! I too
was ‘guilty’ of this at the time. In fact, it’s only
since connecting with your ‘approach to Truth’ or whatever
you want to call it, that I have been willing and able to follow the
steps described with any degree of success. Bless you for the clarity
that you are Burt!
- With Love, T.”

“Good
Morning Burt, This morning I am feeling so full of joy and energy,
this must be what is meant by heaven on earth!! Thank you so much
for last night, it was incredible to listen to you talk & learn &
to feel the energy and warmth of the people in the room. Usually I
don't like to get up until 7:30 but this morning I was eager to get
up and enjoy the day starting at 6AM. I love it and I love you & Sivia.
Have a beautiful day. Love J.”

“Bless
you. Yesterday, I was looking through a draw-full of ‘old’
material you had sent in the form of booklets and newsletters. Each
word is as fresh as ever! I find now that I read things differently.
Certainly there are reminders in there, but now I read them for the
sheer delight the words evoke, rather than thinking I’m ‘getting
something’ or ‘reading the latest non-duality update’.”

“Dear
Burt, I am unable to find the words to tell you how much your scripts
have meant to me & how much they have changed & enriched my life,
I thank you so much, from my heart I am truly grateful. The time I
spend reading & absorbing (I should say trying to absorb) them is
my special time I give to myself, like a treat that I look forward
to.”
-
J.M., B.C., Canada
“...I
really love gobbling up your pages. Your style is so fresh and human.
And so crystal clear. I feel so much ‘at home’ with you,
ever since the first page I read. I also feel grateful that you are
here on this planet at the same time as us. With every satsang text
I devour, the recognition of truth resonates stronger. At first, I
thought that it is your heart expressing itself clearer, but it could
just as well be my heart that is discovering more understanding. I
won’t burden you with any problems. I haven’t really got
any. Nor do I have a ‘profound’ question to ask.
I simply
want to express my deepest gratitude to you, for being so generous
with us all in sharing the truth.”

“It
is delightful to know of you as another of the ever expanding group

“I
just love your book, ‘Supersentience.’ I am reading it now.
It is sooooo good. I love it because it is so clear, yet has such
heart and warmth. Thank you so much for writing this book. Everything
you say is like a ‘WOW’ and ‘BAM’. It is so wonderful.”
-

“Thank
you so much for your books, they have been of such an inspiration
for me to realize the truth. After reading your books many times,

“I
have found the first month [of home satsang] very good for me. There
is a new and wonderful skill developing in me and that is listening.
Listening to the tapes very carefully and giving them all my attention
has spread into the rest of my life in an illuminating and happy way...
You have an especially marvellous laugh, it’s always making me
laugh too!.”

“...Your
style appeals very much to both of us. This, of course means that
you are reaching that which has always been there (inside us). The

us to Burt Harding. You are a beacon, Burt, a light dispelling the
darkness. I embrace you. ”

“I
again take this opportunity to thank you for all your great works.

“...these
thoughts are the outcome of attending satsang for the last 4 months
or so... Trust is the realization that the mind has reached the end
of searching. It has reached the understanding that truth, love, God
cannot be understood. Then any attempt to understand is useless. Only
listening is necessary, listening to your satsang teacher, to nature,
to silence. This is the trust in life, that everything is being taken
care of, as you so often talk about. Thank
you so much for inspiring and opening us all during our Thursday night
satsangs.”
-
R.B., Vancouver B.C.
“...I
would like to tell you, Burt, that whenever I have a major question,
it is answered in your class. And even as I sit there and say, ‘yah,
but - yah, but’ the truth is always what is left after I listen...
I really feel that I have come back home. I always envy your life
of being and doing what I work so hard on. But it has nothing to do
with that, does it Burt? It doesn’t matter what a person is doing
when they feel ‘at home’. I feel so peaceful.”

was listening to your most recent talk on tape. There was a tremendous

“...is
what I’ve been missing. Woke up this morning looking forward
to the day...instead of wishing it was over. For an instant I had
the feeling that I was pure love...(my usual self would think it’s
really hokey to say something like that). I can see there is much
adjustment to be made in my perspective, something I have been striving
for... for a long time. Thank you for being there...for helping me.
I love you.”

“...[after]
reading your last reply to me, it became clear (through simplicity
as usual) that what I had experienced I hadn’t experienced
I allowed fully which is why it ‘seemed to go on all
day’. And of course you’re right - the ‘why and the
when’ of whatever seemed to be the cause of the problem (and
the ‘cause’ could only have been fear/separation really)
doesn’t matter in the slightest...I’ve just started your
new book. It will be a blessing for many people I am sure of that
(even after having only read the first chapter.”

“...I
have been attending Burt’s weekly sessions for four years and
have constantly derived benefit and answers to my questions. I use

of ‘a better way’ to live in consciousness. Burt and the
Course will always be a part of my life.”

have just listened to your tapes ‘The Wonderful Law of Life’

“...how
often I think back to what I have learned from you, and how much it
is benefiting my life. Whenever I am faced with a difficult situation,
be it relationship, personal challenge etc., your voice “appears”
magically, saying “That is a story -- what are you feeling?”
How quickly that simple phrase centers people and cuts through the
endless circles of “story telling” so that the core issue
can be faced and dealt with.”
