"You have forgotten that this is a dream. You believe it’s real and because you believe it’s real you
suffer accordingly." -Robert Adams

All the power is in SILENCE

"The highest teaching in the world is silence. There is nothing higher than this. A devotee who sits
with a Sage purifies his mind just by being with the Sage. The mind automatically becomes
purified. No words exchanged, no words said. Silence is the ultimate reality. Everything exists in
this world through silence. True silence really means going deep within yourself to that place where
nothing is happening, where you transcend time and space. You go into a brand new dimension of
nothingness. That's where all the power is. That's your real home. That's where you really belong,
in deep Silence where there is no good and bad, no one trying to achieve anything. Just being, pure
being." -Robert Adams

Those in search of liberation from the manifest world will gain it only when the mind becomes
quiescent (kwee-es-uhnt, adjective: being at rest; quiet; still; inactive or motionless ). The world is
in fact nothing other than the creation of the mind, and only by the removal of all thoughts,
including the 'I' thought, will the true reality of Brahman shine forth. -Robert Adams wiki page

If no thought applies to the knower of thought, who do they actually apply to??

How can ANY thought change what you already inherently are and have always been? For example,
a thought shows up, "I am bad," and then a thought shows up, "I am good." Which is actually true
for THAT that is aware of ALL thoughts? How can ANY thought apply to the knower of thought?
And if no thought applies to the knower of thought, who do they actually apply to??

-Michael Jeffreys

Thoughts have no power

How do you let go of the attachment to being "the doer"?

See that it's an assumption that a thought controls or does anything. -Michael Jeffreys

Q: What is the best way to suffer?

MICHAEL: Believe your thoughts.

KONNI CORRIERE: It works every time!!!

1. Identifying with ANY belief is the same as believing a thought.

2. Is there anything else here now besides thoughts? Silently take a look now.

You can't think your way to silence. -Michael Jeffreys

DONALD WILLIAM: What do you mean by "silence"?

MICHAEL: Absence of thought.
