gone hold innocent life mind needing
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.
beyond love mind
Love is beyond the mind because it is always new.
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.
discover either knowingly means practicing ready
You are either ready to discover yourself or you are not. Ready means you have been knowingly or unknowingly practicing self-observation.
chain facts fixed linking notice observe plan proposed reason
Reason does not need thinking. If you observe yourself making a plan you will notice that having fixed the object, the facts just keep coming, linking up into a chain of proposed action.
discovered moment truth
Truth has to be discovered now, from moment to moment.
cannot discover quickly ready recognized taught truth
Truth cannot be taught but it is quickly recognized by the person ready to discover it.
apparent ask cannot experiment facts law science stepped variation
The experiment is to ask the question; the observation is to look at yourself and see what happens. Being a science the law cannot vary. Any apparent variation is in you, you will have stepped off the way of facts into conclusions.
beyond climb imagination interested ladder might reason top upset whatever
To go beyond reason we have to climb up the ladder of reason and go to the top of it. This will not upset reason as it is interested only in assembling the facts, whatever they might be. Reason is an ever-loyal tool; imagination an ever-failing fool.
