mind robots problem
Beauty is and always is. You are absent. Why are you absent? Again your robot mind is the problem. It will not stay still and you cannot make it stay still. It is your master and it separates you from beauty and God.
past mind synthesis
Any product of the mind is a reaction of the past, a synthesis of what is old.
truth mind littles
It is a little known fact that truth cannot be memorized. Truth has to be discovered now, from moment to moment. It is always fresh, always new, always there for the still, innocent mind that has experienced life without needing to hold on to what has gone before.
discovery self mind
Nothing is true in self-discovery unless it is true in your own experience. This is the only protection against the robot levels of the mind.
mind truth-love beauty-love
To experience beauty, love, truth and peace, or God, your mind has to be stilled.
thinking mind robots
When the robot mind is mastered, undisciplined thinking ceases and is replaced by awareness. Awareness can know love.
men breathing desire
WE HAVE SEEN that hunger and breathing are desires of the body. There are other desires that are not of the body, but again man seldom pauses to observe these desires in himself.
truth agreement doe
Truth does not need argument, agreement, theories or beliefs. There is only one test for it and that is to ask yourself 'Is the statement true or false in my experience?.
knows
No religion knows the truth. Only he or she who lives it knows.
energy higher no-energy
All is energy and there is no energy higher than right love, which has no object
brain world mystery
There is a notion that existence is an illusion. Existence is not an illusion. Existence is a projection from the inner through the brain producing the outer sensory world of what is - an amazing complete mystery.
truth way observation
The only way we can ever get through to the truth is by finding out what we are not. We do that by looking, by observation.
truth believe helping
You must not believe anyone in the search for truth; you have to find out for yourself. But although you are on your own, help will come when it is really needed.
life moving love-is
Love is all around you like the air and is the very breath of your being. But you cannot know it, feel its unfeeling touch, until you pause in your busy-ness, are still and poised and empty of your wanting and desiring. When at rest the air is easily offended and will flee even from the fanning of a leaf, as love flees from the first thought. But when the air or love moves of its own accord it is a hurricane that drives all before it.
