Human beings rarely interact with each other. They merely struggle with each other's point of view.

You have created an image of a state that is free from conflict, a permanently peaceful state. There is no such thing! All you are doing in the name of finding yourself in the bogus state is numbing your mind!

It is the internal police that keep the conflict going and that takes energy away from you. When you are not bothered by ethics or morality there is no immoral act.

To focus is to arrest the tendency of the mind to scatter. All learning mechanisms are based on this principle, and unless you are focused and attentive you cannot learn anything.
You don't want thought, which you have identified as inappropriate and extraneous, to take over.

We never meet. It is you with your ideas about me and me with my ideas about you that are interacting.
Even very intimate friends never really look at each other... All they do is think about each other.

Human thinking is becoming complex and powerful. You fail to acknowledge that your desire to go back to a "simple and fearless state" Just adds to your burden and complicates your life.

Through lack of attention and focus on what is truly important for the organism, vital energy is constantly drained by unnecessary mental activity.
The physical action engaged in as a result of this restlessness is a by-product of unresolved conflict.
All attempts to find solutions through further activity do not address the core problem.

All experience is fundamentally a knowledge game. When you say you have experienced something for the first time — if you are a very reflective individual — you will see that there is no such thing as first-hand experience.
Already you are using someone else's second-hand knowledge to express what you have just felt you are merely translating it. You as you know yourself are nothing but a conglomeration of words and images.

Unless it dawns on you that any movement in any direction is a dead-end and there is no escape from it, your habitual energy-drain by the monkey mind cannot be minimized, let alone the momentum stopped in its tracks.

The sense of self is draining energy from the system, trying to find something that does not exist.
It is a merry-go-round and you cannot get off because you have invested too much energy in it.
You can't help wanting to believe there is something to what all those people are talking about, so you can't jump off! The hope is still there.
It is such a deep conditioning that only death can free you from it.

Ideas, images or understanding are created out of your conditioning.
When you want something, and get it, there is a resonance and a sense of temporary happiness.
But your system is seeking something very different. It is not in the field of information processing.

If something has been identified as having a bad effect on certain movements and you negate it, then perhaps out of this process you will align yourself with something that is natural. Not that you will know what it will be. All you can do is to be aware of this.

If you want to become something and your whole organism is fighting against it, you will find it very difficult.
Trying to be something is wishful thinking. This is where discrimination and awareness are very important.
If your discrimination is powerful enough you will begin to filter effectively and know where your energy best resonates.

We have invented something that cannot be touched by the mind
and yet we want to manipulate it with our mind.
Think about it! I tried, and couldn't even touch my physical existence without knowledge.

The simple fact you find it difficult to digest is that you don't know anything about what is going on in you.

You have subtly created the desire for experience because you have been told that it is a valid landmark of where you should be going. That is fundamentally wrong. In your effort to understand, you have misunderstood the whole point, that there is nothing to understand!!!

Communication between two human beings does not exist if there is no preconceived expectation of the outcome. It is the idealization or image of a standard that is in operation in the background and it is constantly being processed. If the idea is not there, then there is no problem and communication is not necessary.

There is no such thing as an original thinker. If you suppress the source then you are original. Everything is copied. You cannot utter one word that you have not heard before, be it knowingly or unknowingly.

What addresses the essence of living? What creates your perpetual desire to nurture yourself through knowledge? One is life abiding and cannot be denied and the other is creating models and propositions. The essence of living is very different from what you try to grasp and imagine it to be. Based on your understanding you take action and obviously this neither addresses nor nurtures your true well-being. Essentially there is nothing to understand.

Any answer I give you will not make an iota of difference to your living condition because you are not interested in finding an answer. You are caught up in the seeking game and it has become an addiction. You are nothing but an activity junkie constantly living in hope; the process has turned you into a machine.

Use proper discrimination.
You should learn to ruthlessly discard that which is erroneous and wrong.
Don't be afraid — I guarantee you that none of those things ever touch anybody.

The beginning of true intelligence is to see the limitation of intellectual understanding and to then draw a line and let the system behave in its own natural way.

Whether you want peace, happiness or an immense high has nothing to do with the way the system is organizing itself to strike a balance that will bring about long-term stability and an overall state of well-being.

Description of a state has nothing to do with the way an organism functions. Description is knowledge based, and your knowledge is never going to decipher the way you function.

The system can take care of itself through its own organized effort without the imposition of the knower. You are constantly weighing thoughts by either accepting or rejecting them and if somehow this activity can be suspended, the system will fall into its own natural rhythm.

The life that is beating inside you gives you an edge over what you are doing, but you are not owner of it. The only morality you should have in your life is to respect that which is responsible for making you alive, and you have no right to take even one step to harm it.
