"You have forgotten that this is a dream. You believe its real and because you believe
its 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

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.
