"Leave people alone. Do not try to change anyone



"Leave people alone.
Do not try to change anyone. 
Do not look for problems.
 Do not allow your mind to think past your nose. 
Yesterday is gone and it can never come back. 
Every human being makes mistakes.
 Do not regret the past, it's part of your learning experience. 
are not a sinner.
You are not a bad person, makes no difference what you've done.
 The deed may be evil, but you are not. 

Look at yourself as total existence, and act from there.
 Expect nothing and you'll never be disappointed.
 Give of yourself.
 Expect nothing in return."

~ Robert Adams (20th century American Advaita mystic)

There is only consciousness."

There is only consciousness."
I know this sounds strange to some of you
because you're so identified with your body-mind that you say,
"What about the experiences going on here?
What about this?
What about my rent that I have to pay next week?
And what about my husband who left me?
And what about my job that I have been terminated from,
that's all very real." 


Of course it’s real because you are identifying with the body.
So it is very, very real.
There are not two worlds.
There is not the world of the body, and the world of the universe,
and the world of your problems and affairs,
and also the world of consciousness. 


There is only consciousness and you are that.
Just listening to this sets you free. 


It sets you free from all doubt and limitation.
You begin to feel immortality.
You begin to understand that you were never born.
How can consciousness be born? 


And if you were never born how can you die? What dies?
Well, some of you say, "The body,"
but I tell you there is no body who dies.
There is just nobody home.
There never was a body, there is no body,
and there never will be a body.


If you can't see that yet, or feel it, don't worry about it.
All I ask you to do is to sit in the silence.
Everything will be revealed to you.
This is why I always tell newcomers,
"Don't believe me. Don't believe a word I say.
Find out for yourself."


-Robert Adam - T.40 - Only Consciousness Exists -
31st January, 1991

Everything is consciousness, everything.

Everything is consciousness, everything.
When you ask, "What is consciousness?"
there is no valid answer, so I remain silent.

Therefore you can say that consciousness is silence.

You have to become a living embodiment of consciousness.
The only way you can do that is by keeping still.

If you want to solve any problem in life do not try to solve it verbally.
Become quiet.

It is a known fact that people like Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison,
and others, when they had a mathematical equation to solve,
they would sit in their rocking chair for hours in the silence and
everything would be revealed to them.

That's how Einstein came up with his theory of relativity,
if you read his life story. He used to spend hours sitting by himself
in the silence, and everything was revealed to him scientifically.

So it is with you.
If you want the answer to any problem, do not run to a psychiatrist,
or a lawyer, or even a doctor, but sit by yourself and listen.
Yourself has all the answers. Why?

For every atom of the universe is within you. You are that.
You are the entire universe.

You are the microcosm in the macrocosm.
Therefore all the answers in the universe must also be in you.
All of the solutions, all of the wisdom,
all of the happiness and bliss you've been searching for,
it's within you.

That's what Jesus meant when he said,
"I and my Father are one," and also,
"if you have seen me, you have seen the Father."

He wasn't talking about a person called the Father.
He was talking about a universal principal of harmony,
of bliss, of joy. He was speaking of consciousness.

It's within you. It is you. You are that. You have always been that.
It isn't far away. It's right where you are.

And as you sit in the silence, and think of these things,
you will begin to realize something very interesting.
You will begin to realize and understand,
"Well, if my body is consciousness, it cannot be a body,
for it cannot be both.

It cannot be consciousness and my body. So it’s duality."
So as you start to think about the word consciousness
in the silence, it is revealed to you that you have no body.
There is only consciousness. And it doesn't seem strange at all.

For when you begin to understand and fathom
what consciousness really is you will realize it is self-contained.

Consciousness knows only consciousness.
It doesn't know the universe. It doesn't know bodies.
It doesn't know problems. It doesn't know wars.
It doesn't know man's inhumanity to man.



It doesn't know anything you know.
It only knows itself as pure awareness.
And as you sit by yourself in the silence
this becomes perfectly clear.

And all of a sudden the realization comes to you,
"I have no problems.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with the world.
There is nothing going on.
There is only consciousness."

There is nothing to figure out, and nothing to understand.

There is nothing to figure out, and nothing to understand.
You are not a person. There is no such thing as a person.
The so-called person is merely a thought in the mind of God.
In truth, it is not even that. 


There is only pure Awareness, Consciousness,
formless, unborn, and undying, and that is who you are.
How can the apparent mind possibly comprehend this?
It is not possible. 


The finite can never understand the infinite.
The mind does not exist.
You are free now. You have always been free.
You have absolutely nothing to let go of,
nothing to overcome, and nothing to attain.
You have no samskaras, no problems, and no karma.
Whatever seems to happen to your mind and body
has nothing to do with you. 


When you truly understand this, you are free.
Seek the Source of the mind, the Source of the I-thought,
by constant patient self-inquiry. 


When the mind is quiet, you shine in all your glory.
Be yourself and be happy.

Self Confidence

Self-confidence is a critical skill that we need to live our lives fully and effectively.

 It is also very helpful to have confidence in the Self, The Supreme One, Isness.

These two often go together.

 The more you are confident in your unlimited nature the more you have self-confidence in whatever you endeavour.

 Plus, self-confidence helps you to embrace the freedom that you are. In this release we dissolve the barriers to greater self-confidence and greater confidence in the Self. 

Tip: True self-confidence begins with having confidence in your real authentic Self. The more you recognize the truth of who you are and trust that truth about yourself the more you gain confidence in the Self. This also helps in building self-confidence for external action. So give yourself permission to trust your Beingness.

Release
In this moment could you allow yourself to Be What You Are?
In this moment, when you think of being self confident, having confidence in your personal self and/or in the One Self - what does that bring up inside of you?

What thoughts feelings beliefs ideas attitudes.
Could you welcome it, let it be here?

Welcome any wanting to control your confidence, any wanting to build it up
any wanting to hold on to whatever you have?
-any wanting to do anything with or about your level of self confidence.

Could you welcome any sense of self confidence, whether you have it or not- is somehow personal, about you or who you are?

Just for now as best you can could you let go of any feelings of lack of self confidence ....
or you may be remembering from your past.

and could you be open to complete confidence in your self and or The Self?

(its just a choice )
Lets run through that again....
Welcome any sense of lack of self confidence- any place in your life where you are not doing things because you are not confident about your ability.
or who you are...and any doubt you have about Being The One, which also shows a lack of confidence in One's Self, that is The All.

Welcome, one, both.either....

Welcome what that brings up inside of you...
welcome any sense its personal, about you, who you are.

welcome any wanting to fix, change, control, do anything with/about it.
Could you let go of any self doubt- set free any lack of self confidence.
Could you allow yourself to be confident in/to trust your self/Self?

..the One Self that is The All?

Rinse and repeat several times daily

Do not allow the world to run your life.

Life is very short in this body and all of the things
you're going through will soon come to an end. 

If you have not made any spiritual headway
you will be under the delusion of karma. 

And you will return again and again in a delusory body form 
going through many experiences that appear real to you.
The only way for it to come to an end is to give it all up now.
Make up your mind that this is going to become the year for you
to totally become realized. To awaken totally.
And by following the three precepts as outlined,
this will happen to you faster than you can breath, if you allow it to.
Do not allow the world to run your life.
Do not let the world fool you.
All this is an illusion.
Be yourself. Know yourself.
Realize that you are Brahman, the pure awareness. 

Your nature is pure consciousness and
one day you will have to awaken. 

So why not begin now. Why wait?

Always remember to go into the silence.


The silence is another way of saying
to keep your mind stayed on God all the time.
God is the silence and you are That.
Feel the silence right now. You can feel it.
It's a thing of beauty.
You know when you're getting into the true silence,
you begin to become happier, and happier
and happier for no reason.
It makes no difference what's going on in the world.
The world is in one place and you're in another place.
In the deep silence you are identifying with
the substratum of creation.
Always remember to go into the silence.
A sage is always in the silence.
A sage may be talking, listening, partaking of activities,
but to the sage there's only silence.
