energy higher no-energy
All is energy and there is no energy higher than right love, which has no object
lying self judging
When you observe yourself you must not condemn or approve what you see. If you tell a lie there is no need to judge your-self.
blamed conscious giving moment observe
You will become more conscious if you use the moment of being rebuked or blamed to observe your reaction. You will observe yourself making an excuse, giving a reason.
exists living notice totality
IF YOU LOOK at life's totality you will notice that every living thing exists for something else.
exactly knowledge machine predict sufficient
You can predict exactly what a machine will do if you have sufficient knowledge of it.
gradually pure remains strips true until
The true in the false, gradually strips away all self-delusion until all that remains is pure being.
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.
absorb endeavor hold
Absorb what is said as you read but endeavor not to hold on to it or think about it.
appearing man unhappy untruth
Nothing makes man more unhappy than the untruth appearing as the truth.
behaves experience highest knowledge man possess true
The highest knowledge man can possess is that which is true in his own experience. If his experience is limited, so is his knowledge and he behaves accordingly.
way alive acknowledgement
Acknowledgement is the only way to keep love alive.
thinking mind robots
When the robot mind is mastered, undisciplined thinking ceases and is replaced by awareness. Awareness can know love.
littles wanting-more energy
Pornography is just 'fast-food feminine energy', it will always leave you wanting more, with little or no nutritional value. There is nothing ful-filling about pornography, it pales in insignificance to a fully embodied loving woman.
life believe teaching
I suppose the most radical part of my teaching at present is that love is not a feeling. Everybody suffers from love, or the fear of it, or the lack of it. Why? Why is love so universally and inevitably heart-breaking, whether it be through the end of a love affair, the death of a loved one or being locked in with the habitual casualness or grim indifference of a partner? The answer is because we've been taught and conditioned by the world to believe that love is a feeling.
