Satsang Notes 11-18-15We cannot become happy by altering our exterior affairs anymore than we

can improve our handwriting by getting a new pen. -Vernon Howard 

Our life-transformation is in exact proportion to the amount of truth we can take without running

away. Man is a frightened wanderer. That is an observable fact. But there is a second fact he rar

glimpses: There is a way out. It consists of finding his true identity. That is the only way any huma

being has ever shed the ache of separation, isolation, and loneliness.-Vernon Howard

Robert Adams on ALL is Mind

You have a feeling, a complete understanding that everything you see, everything in the universe

the world, emanates from your mind. In other words, you feel this. You do not have to think abou

or try to bring it on. It comes by itself. It becomes a part of you. The realization that everything yo

see, the universe, people, worms, insects, the mineral kingdom, the vegetable kingdom, your bo

your mind, everything that appears, is a manifestation of your mind. -Robert Adams

Mind sees/relates to everything as an object, including You! (But you don’t realize it!!)

The suffering is when you see yourself as an object  and that you’re not noticing that! So until y

see that, you don’t notice that you’re seeing yourself as an object. And yet, you cannot be an objeas much as you try! -Daniel Litvak

Most often we are referring to ourselves as the body-mind construct, conditioning or personality. W

seem to start from this point, go out and move about and come back to this point. Whereas in rea

seeing, that very starting point as the person is included in the phenomenal screen. You discover

that you are earlier then that, earlier then the person because the person is viewable. -Mooji

Katie reminds us that identification with ANY thought brings suffering:

Identification... positive or negative. -Byron Katie

Only mind can imagine it has lost truth or get it back.

Truth is what’s left when you let go of everything. You can’t lose truth. You can’t hold it or have it.

it’s showing up without you having to do anything, that’s how you know it’s truth. Thought tries to

define something, impose a limitation, turn it into an object. Mind tries to define this moment as

something. Truth can’t be defined. Whenever you interpret something you’re always left with an

interpretation. -Daniel Litvak

No thought has ever told you who you are. -Michael Jeffreys
