When all names and forms have been given up, the real is with you. You need not seek it.

Watch your thoughts as you watch the street traffic. People come and go; you register without response. It may not be easy in the beginning, but with some practice you will find that your mind can function on many levels at the same time and you can be aware of them all.

Awareness is ever there. It need not be realized. Open the shutter of the mind, and it will be flooded with light.

The personal needs a base, a body to identify oneself with, just as a colour needs a surface to appear on.

The real is behind and beyond words, incommunicable, directly experienced, explosive in its effect on the mind. It is easily had when nothing else is wanted.

The mind creates the abyss, and the heart crosses it.

With self-awareness you grow more intelligent. In awareness you learn, in self-awareness you learn about yourself. Of course, you can only learn what you are not. To know what you are, you must go beyond the mind. Awareness is the point at which the mind reaches out beyond itself into reality. In awareness you seek not what pleases, but what is true.
