Quotes from this Download:

“Part of spirituality is the investigation of conventional truths to see what is not true, and to inquire into our belief structures.”

“Truth is not ultimately something that can be conveyed through the use of ideas and concepts. Truth is something that we experience.”

“The absolute truth is experiencing everything as a unified whole. We see that nothing is apart from us.”

“You don't have to get rid of anything. All that's necessary is to let go of everything. If you really let go, then you fall right into the unified view.”

“Don’t try to figure things out in your mind. Be willing to be quiet and receptive rather than try to get the answer.”

“The most direct means to self-realization is to be still.”
