-Truth knows nothing of good or evil, past or future.
-Occupying the self with trying to become results in struggle.
-Ignorance is not the absence of learning but the confusion and conflict of values.
-It is because man is confused he needs an authority. Having created one, whether political or religious, man follows its direction in the hope of finding Truth.
-What one learns of Reality through an external authority is not the Truth and thus Reality remains unknown.
-Seeking an authority means not having self-confidence and becoming an imitator.
-Leaders are created from lack of self-confidence.
-Being taught from childhood what to think and what to do, confusion replaces self-confidence. Finding the cause of confusion means questioning beliefs and ideas and seeing them all as false.
-When we have freed ourselves from all our mental formulations we will find that which is not a mental formulation. The mind must cease to formulate before we can find the Real.
-Only by understanding the personal self that is hiding the Real will the false fall away. Then the glory of God, His Love, Wisdom and Power will manifest, for these are ever-present, and eternal. We did not create Them.
-The inwardly poor set up an external authority and worship it.
-The mind filled with false can only be emptied through discernment of its falseness. What is replaced is Truth.
-Not until we know what a belief is can we see its falseness.
-An idea of Truth is not the Truth.

-False prophets are those who tell others what the Truth is.
-That which is created is not the Truth. Only that which is not created is the Truth.
-Trying to become virtuous covers up what we are.
-Seek not after power for what it will give you, otherwise you will lose the Real.
-Truth is like mathematics; It is exact. No one can explain why 2 + 2 = 4 and not five. Mathematics, like Truth, cannot be investigated. The only thing that can be investigated is error. Truth, unchangeable, is not subject to error.
-To deny the false is to give it recognition, a reality it does not possess. Understanding how it arises brings recognition how false it is. Then it is seen that the false is illusion. The Real comes into being when the false is seen as having no existence and gladly let go.
-What is made up in our Mind does not matter because it is not the Truth. The Truth is beyond Mind.
-Intellect speculates about Reality and so does not know It.
-It is the Unknown alone that is creative. What is known can never be creative, for the creative ever remains unknown. What you know is relative – external - created, and can never be creative.
-People seek the love of God and at the same time hate their enemies. They pray for peace but are preparing for war. The want success at the expense of their neighbour, but are really cheating themselves. It is this inward poverty that searches outwardly and never finds the Ever-present and Eternal.
-Nearly all literature on Truth or Philosophies discusses Reality as an idea. Reality is Eternal Life, and the mortal mind cannot conceive what It is, therefore it is useless trying to understand only an idea of Life. When you see that an idea is but an imitation, a mental concept, it dies away. Then Life that is Ever-present becomes a Reality in you.
-What we create is not Reality but a substitute. There is no substitute for Reality.
-God is the Unknown and cannot be known by man. The moment we think we know God it is not really God we know, but an idea of God - a projected image – a false God - which hinders the discovery of the Unknown.
-Reality is never the result of the false, or the elimination of the false. It is now, at this very moment, and does not rise out of the false. The false has no foundation whatsoever. It is a myth. It is a self-created illusion.
-False remains until the false is seen.
-Those who accumulate wealth, build temples, organize religions; the bishops, the cardinals, the preachers, as well as those who drop the bombs, claim God as their companion. Their belief is but a form of self-expansion - merely their own conceit.
-The cause of all antagonisms is each having a different pattern, a different religion, a different idea, trying to make others conform to their idea. And if they don't succeed they look upon dissenters as something apart from themselves, living in separation. This is the cause of all war, destruction and misery. Dividing into groups, nationalities, is but a formulation in their minds to preserve self-identities. There is only one God, one Creator, and all must be His creation. The Creator and His creation are one. For the Unknown to Be, the mind must be completely emptied of what is believed or disbelieved.
-A description of the Indescribable is merely a cultivation of memory. To verbalize the Indescribable - the Creative -the Unknown - is to put it into time, and that which is of time cannot be the Timeless.
-Divine Reason helps towards Divine Realisation. We can reason towards the Ultimate but reason must cease because it cannot go beyond mind. When the mind knows that it can never know, at that moment there is Reality.
-Anything that has an end is not Reality.
-There is no finality to infinity.
-Those who seek to corner Reality for their own welfare become antagonistic to others. Therefore, there is no love, no expression of the Real, only the self. It is the self that stands in the way.
-Ignorance cannot contain understanding.
-True application of discernment is to discover what is not real.
-Seeking Truth while retaining the false is doomed to fail.
-Only when the false is seen do we no longer want to be a part of it.
-Mind is dulled through condemning, blaming, avoidance, accepting and resistance. Only through our True relationships, free from all conditioning, is our freedom, Peace and Love.
-When we take upon ourselves the cloak of healer and say, 'I am a healer or a prophet' we limit ourselves to the personal which is why so many fail. The self bides the Divine, so we must get the self out of the way. The self is nothing, and the sooner this is realized the better it will be for us and all who come to us.
-It is the self-identity that is caught up in disease. It is the self alone that knows disease. The Spirit knows nothing of it. It is the self that is selfish, ingathering, acquisitive, hateful, antagonistic, unforgiving and violent, and this is the cause of most sickness.
-If disease were real, it could not be healed, since Reality is not subject to change.
-It is only because sickness is false can it be healed.
-Yesterday is but a memory. Tomorrow is but a hope. But Now is the only time.
-Man is still eating of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Not until he finds out what he is doing will he cling to the Tree of Life, which alone is his salvation.
-Following another’s path is to imitate and to imitate is to not understand.
-Meditation as is being taught is a process of self-isolation which is a means of self-protection. Self-protection is based on fear, which prevents Self-realization.
-Forcing quietness of mind creates conflict. It is by recognizing the thinker and the thoughts are one that Truth is remembered.
-When confusion ceases, problems no longer exist.
-It is impossible to put Timeless Truth into time.
-Knowledge never involves comparisons.
-Trying to solve problems simply create more.
-The cause of all problems is the self with all its greed, desires, ambition and hunger for power. Reality has no problems. Only man has problems.
-Hope reflects a state of uneasiness, incompleteness and seeks for external fulfilment.
-Whoever clings to hope is dying, as salvation is projected into the future instead of accepting It in the Now where It is found.
-Living in the past or future means living in the mind which believes in time, not Eternity.
-Uncertainty produces hope/hopelessness. Recognizing the truth about hope frees from it.
-Because we fear, we hope. Certainty is lost and outward searching is the believed solution.
-Our conclusions are based through understanding and yet while based on a weak foundation become a hindrance to understand the process of conditioning.
-Seeing the self as merely a bundle of memories, experiences, limited beliefs and conformities invites freedom from littleness.
-Believers in human containment pray to an external God, resulting in never knowing Him.
-Knowledge cannot deceive but perception can.
-Praying implies hope, revealing a state of hopelessness.
-Prayer never releases the mind from creating the very conditions that make prayer necessary.
-Prayer depends on the petitioner. In asking for something, there is an unconscious response from unconscious experiences over centuries and is received accordingly.
-True prayer is expressing the Being – the True creation of God.
-No force except our own will is strong enough or worthy enough to guide us.
-Jesus said, "Take no heed for the future." All problems are in the present and can be resolved only in the Now.
-Jesus said, "It is the word that killeth." What men speak of Truth - kills It.
-Religion’s idea of God is more important than God Himself.
-Peace and Love come from within, not from without. These are not created by man - they come into being when man knows his True Self.
-We, who are
one with our Father,
are not at Home except in peace.
-If peace is eternal, we
are Home only in eternity.
-The out of mind is out of sight because what is denied is there but is not recognized.
-Peace is lost only when something appears to have gone wrong.
-When young we look to the future. When old we look to the past. When will we learn to live in the present?
-What is eternal is True. It is the temporary that is false.
-Beliefs separate, disintegrate and create war. Peace is never found in chaos.
-There is only Reality when that which continues comes to an end. Ending is feared unless it relieves pain.
-The human mind fears its end and clings to the past and future.
-Creativeness is beyond mind and to become creative in Reality it is necessary to ease functioning in time.
-When we die to our wish for mortality, there is only Life.
-Believers never live happily with non-believers.
-Right thinking is achieved only through recognizing the false as false. Right thinking frees, conditioned thinking oppresses.
-Words only create reaction. Few know action which only comes form understanding the word "love" is not Love and the word "god" is not God.
-Divine Love only gives. The love of mankind is desire based. Divine Love is eternal. The love of man dies with the self.
-It is the Unmanifest that gives rise to the manifest; the Invisible gives rise to the visible. The Unknowable is the Creativeness within that creates, but will ever remain the Uncreated, the Unknowable. The creation can be known, but the Creativeness ever remains unknown.
-Those who seek to come to Reality for their own welfare become antagonistic to others; therefore, there is no love, no expression of the Real, only the self. It is the self that stands in the way.
-The self is a belief in separation, but separation is an illusion. This is the devil and hell or the mess the self makes because the self only knows separation and seeks only for the self.
-Truth is like mathematics; it is exact. No one can explain why 2+2=4 and not 5. Maths, like Truth, cannot be investigated. The only thing that can be investigated is error. Truth, unchangeable, is not subject to error.
-The devil is the self and hell is the mess the self makes.
