Please forgive the number and diversity of this eclectic series of posts; the beauty of Truth is that, being Truth, it can be discovered in the writings of every tradition and field of study. These few examples are only humbly offered as pointers,with the sincere hope they might lead you back into the silence, the openness.
Here they are:
The state of craving for anything blocks all deeper experience. Nothing of value can happen to a mind, which knows exactly what it wants. For nothing the mind can visualize and want is of much value. - Nisargadatta Maharaj, posted to ANetofJewels
"There are only two ways to live your life: as though nothing is a miracle, or as though everything is a miracle." Albert Einstein
Experiencing the clear light: "Gleaming in the Unseen. . . . I gazed at it continually, until the time came when I had wholly become that light." The sufi Abu'l-Hosian al-Nuri
I am Brahman. I dwell within all beings as the soul, the pure consciousness, the ground of all phenomena In the days of my ignorance, I used to think of these as being separate from myself.Now I know that I am All. Shankara
What is this "I"? You will, on close introspection, find that what you really mean by "I" is the ground-stuff upon which all experiences are collected. Erwin Schroedinger
Q: But do you see and hear as we do? M: Yes, l appear to hear and see and talk and act, but to me it just happens, as to you digestion or perspiration happens. The body-mind machine looks after it, but leaves me out of it. Just as you do not need to ...worry about growing hair, so I need not worry about words and actions. They just happen and leave me unconcerned, for in my world nothing ever goes wrong. Nisargadatta

To the mind that is still the whole universe surrenders. -Lao Tzu
Simple Instructions: "You live, you feel, you think. By giving attention to your living, feeling and thinking, you free yourself from them and go beyond them. Your personality dissolves and only the witness remains. Then you go beyond the witness. Do not ask how it happens. Just search within yourself." Nisargadatta Maharaj
Atmananda Krishna Menon again:" The attribution of reality to things which rise in thoughts is the cause of all bondage."

On awareness: Something non-physical can’t be contained within something physical. Compliments of Greg Goode

"What is not Consciousness is all thought-form. Pure Consciousness can never bear witness to it." Atma Nirvriti, Atmananda Krishna Menon
"Unless there is seeing, there is no form. Form has no independent existence and is therefore the seeing itself. If form is itself seeing, how can one see a form? Therefore what is seen is not form but something different." Atma Darshan, Atmananda Krishna Mennon
"Great teachers... are like... portals that point you into the infinite vastness of Consciousness. Most seekers get stuck at these doorways whenever they begin to worship the portal itself... Unless you ... walk through these Gateways - and be destroy...ed - you'll spend your life teetering at the edge.... Stop seeking outside of you for something that only lies within." - Chuck Hillig.
We just completed a delightful interview with Chck Hillig, to be shared here shortly.
"Love is not a relationship. It is the dissolution of all relationship." From a Dialogue of Rupert Spira. The entire dialogue will be posted later.
Question: How does the totality, the one event step outside itself to have a relationship? Answer:: By taking the shape of a thought which identifies itself (the totality) with a fragment. In this way, it creates an inside in which it... takes up residence (the body) and an outside (the world, objects and others) with which to have a relationship. More dialogue from Rupert Spira. My friend is on a roll, no?
"Once this apparent ignorance has taken birth it is, by definition, inevitable that experience will seem to be made out of something other than Presence. That is, Grace will seem to be absent. The name we give to this something other is '...matter.' The name we give to the apparent absence of Grace, is suffering." Rupert Spira
We pray you find nutrition in these brief thoughts. :-)
