• Grief – it is such a common experience. All of mankind experience grief. Look in the new book for the answer! Allow it to flow and don’t resist it. There is something coming up. Don’t label it. Don’t call it grief. Don’t call it anything. I had grief for ten days one time. You are releasing all of the accumulation of all of that. Sedona Seminar God, Religion & Spirituality, 10. Dezember 2005

• Fear, anger, resentment, getting even, suing the hell out of them, carrying placards "Down with whatever". You just have to get off the juice of whatever that positionality is – hatred, anger, self-pity, grief. There are people who hang out with grief for someone who died forty years ago. Why are they doing that? Because they are getting juice out of it. Look at poor me. Juicing it, juicing it, juicing it. So you don't have to give up grief, you have to get off the juice you are getting out of that stuckness. Sedona Satsang Q&A, Teil 2 von 2, transkribiert von Jon Kalman, Estland, 10. Januar 2007
• When the ego doesn’t get all it wants, it goes into grief. It sees it as a loss, a loss of wantingness. If you give up wanting, how would you suffer from anything Sedona Seminar Emotions and Sensations, bereit gestellt von Consciousnessproject.org, 17. April 2004
• The experiencer edge of the ego milks for the juice and doesn’t want to let it go. That is the primary obstacle. Give up the self-indulgence of drama, the juice you get out of the fear of the future and the grief of the past. The worse the stories, the more ego thrives. Sedona Seminar Transcending Obstacles, 3. September 2005
• Question (from a woman who had lost her father and her only son): I ask God to relieve the pain. Trying to relieve the pain. It has been there since 3 years.
  Answer: What are you getting out of the grief?
  Reply Q: I can’t let him go.
  Answer: You have a program that says you can’t let him go. It means you won’t. If I said to you, “If you don’t let go of it, I am going to kill you this instant!” […] You would let it go. You are working it for all the juice you are getting out of it. You are feeding off the grief. You are getting hooked on it. You are living off of that juice of that grief. I want you to give it up. Surrender the grief to God so you can be of service. […] your narcissistic self-indulgence. It is normal, but it is also normal to reach a state of satiation and say, “I have got to do something now for other people.” What is the best way to bless that situation except to say, “In his name, I will alleviate the grief of others.” What you do in their name […] forget the Memorial Services and all that crap. Do something for others instead of being selfish and self-centered. Do something for someone else in their grief. Dedicate your life in the name of that child to others […] your willingness to surrender that to God […] If God said from Heaven, “I WANT YOU TO LET GO OF THAT NOW! SAY, ‘I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!’” There is more than one lifetime on this. You have had lifetimes of losses. Let it just continuously run. Let it run. Let go resisting it. Let go labeling it “grief.” You feel inner sensations and emotions. Don’t label it “grief.” You are feeling a painful feeling. It doesn’t need a name on it. It is just a painful feeling. Sit with the painful feeling. Be at one with that feeling without resisting it. Just be with it completely, 100%, and that is how you eventually disappear the stack. Then you have the energy to work on other things. This is a stack coming up from not just this lifetime. You say, “It is because I am a parent.” Everyone is a parent! In previous times, losing most of your kids was routine. I would say these are stacks suppressed from other lifetimes. Sit with it and let it go. Loss is part of the human condition. It is biological. Elephants feel it. It is a biological instinct going way back in time. Elephants push the bones of their former mate around, grieving. I have had to sit on stacks for months or years that just ran and ran. Then it suddenly lets go and I am a free man.
