But we try to pretend, you see, that the external world exists altogether independently of us.

You, yourself, are the eternal energy which appears as this Universe. You didn't come into this world; you came out of it. Like a wave from the ocean.

The hallucination of being a separate ego will not stand up to biological tests.

You are a function of what the whole universe is doing in the same way that a wave is a function of what the whole ocean is doing.

More and more we try to effect an adaptation to life by means of external gadgets, and attempt to solve our problems by conscious thinking rather than unconscious 'know-how'. This is much less to our advantage than we like to suppose.

Self-improvement is a dangerous form of vanity.

Thought is a means of concealing Truth.
