If one stops trying to avoid the false fragmentation by thought (called by many names, like 'recognition', 'comparison', 'imagination', 'memory' or 'suffering') it must be done c o m p l e t e l y. Then it doesn't hurt. Only pure fire is not burned by fire. It is thought that makes up 'suffering' and thought that wants to escape it. Freedom from the illusory fragmentation is in complete perception of energy. Energy is one.

------------------- 

Do not look for happiness, you cannot find it. Perceive unhappiness completely and happiness will find itself.

----------------

Freedom from sorrow, fear, anxiety is not in concentration. It is not in trying to avoid, escape that what is, concentrating on anything, what necessarily involves effort.

            Freedom is in being completely with that what is, what is happening. In definition it means: perception not directed towards any object. Find out, taste what it means.

This has to be said over and over again because there's a lot of misunderstanding nowadays, false advice, which has one thing in common: concentration on one or another object. Be it candle light or the breadth. In this there is no freedom because it involves struggle and effort - in the field of thought.

----------------------

Rest without effort in complete futureless silence. Not touching the world. You can rest not imagining being anything even in the eye of the storm.

----------------------

The world is crazy. It’s a result of thought which breeds illusions: ‘me’ and ‘not me’. Thought imagines an illusionary ‘being’ (usually also imagined to be contained in the body) who lives separately from other things. So there’s the subject (the being) and the objects: sounds, colours, light, weight.

In fact energy is one. It’s is easy to perceive on the quantum level, on the level of energy. Energy is one, nothing is divided from it and there’s no ‘being’ or subject separated from the objects. That what perceives is all there is.

-----------------------

For every man speaking the truth there is a multitude of charlatans, posing as 'psychologists', gurus, helpers..

-----------------------

It was a part of the city close to the main railway, which looked even more ruined and forlorn than the rest. But it had a certain kind of beauty about it, the beauty of old buildings and old streets. Dirty and abject but still not completely devoid of all taste like the new apartment blocks patched in bright colours in an attempt to inspire joy. Here, no one tried to cover the ugliness, it was what it was. And that is why this forlorn place was beautiful. On the left there was a narrow street and on the right a small rectangular patch of green with a few trees. It was getting dark and the crows came looking for the place for the night. There were many of them, each tried to find a place for itself on a branch. They were restless at first, quarreling and changing their place but as it got darker they slowly got calmer and calmer. Everything became quieter and the night came.

----------------

He walked the street and it was dark. The streetlights were white and the taillights of the cars were red. It was more quiet than during the rush business hours and space was perceived.

It's extraordinary how thought makes up such a strong illusion of separateness. And it is tragic that the whole human race lives in the illusion daily.

 

------------------------------------------

Why are we so stupid? We are planning long lives, retirements, pensions.. We are planning great deeds in the 'future', teaching, saving the world and in fact we don't even have tomorrow. Time cannot be perceived. Do you see the great discovery in this? Only that what makes up time -thought can be perceived. This petty, tiny little thing.

-------------------------------------------

If he was successful he might have never understood.

----------------------------

Peace lies not in acquiring objects of desire but in complete lack of desire.

There's only suffering when one wants something, anything. Only when there is no desire at all, there can be true satisfaction.

Want/desire/becoming is what deep down makes up the illusion of the 'me'

For example seeking a partner is only painful if one seeks a partner because he feels lonely or not complete or anxious). Or the desire for approval in the society, for respect - how stupid it is? What do we need this for?

How rare it is to understand it and live without desire. One has to be rather intelligent to understand this and not deny this truth.

There is no end to desire. As one desire is satisfied another is born, continually adding fuel to the fire. It is not what I want that is the problem, it is that I want.

I am not, only thought is, this is a fact. So why all this self-concern? Need for acceptance, respect, pleasure..

----------------

Peace is at home, thought imagines it is out on a walk.

The eye with which I see All Perceivable, is the same eye with which All Perceivable sees me.

That what sees it all there is.

--------------------------

The idea (of what I want or need) is only a thought and we cannot choose to have thoughts – they simply ‘arise’. We are not our thoughts or our emotions.

-------------------------

Thought does it. When there is no thought-illusion there is no fear. Total sanity is no thought in the psychological field.
When thought is quiet there is no illusion of time.
---------------------
It happens during dangerous sports. Soldiers may forget themselves and have this attention while listening in the jungle. The need to give all of our attention to what happens means that there is no place for mental distractions of thought.

---------------------
Thought = desire = recognition = illusion of time (time cannot be perceived, only thought can) = illusion of division = fear/disorder/neurosis.
We have a lot of small or grandiose plans and we assume time will continue but in fact we don't have time. We only imagine we do.
-------------------
Q - Are the bodies not separate?
A - Yes, but the crucial thing to understand is there is no thinker in the body who identifies with it. The illusion is made up by thought. So there's no separation psychologically, on the level of the wave/energy/quantum.

The body to survive physically as one unit on the level of the particle resists the influence of the environment with skin, special proteins, antibodies, etc. But at the quantum level, at the level of energy there's never any separation. On the level of the wave there exists uninhibited flow. The particle is a wave and the wave is a particle. Form is void and Void is form. They are not two. Energy is one. What sees is what is. This is a perceivable fact when we rest without effort in silence.

------------------------

Perception not directed towards any object = death now here. It transcends time, security, insecurity, effort, suffering.

If you are dead, do you think where you will sleep tomorrow or what you will eat tomorrow or what you will wear tomorrow, whether you will or won't have a girlfriend, whether you will have comfort, a room for yourself, ambitions, 'spreading' teachings, loosing prestige, not making a fool out of yourself?

----------------

NO DIRECTION TOWARDS ANY OBJECT OF PERCEPTION = the end of perturbation

It doesn't require effort. Just do not avoid the void. What happens when 'nothing happens'?

---------------------------

Is thought making up the division of energy into light, sound, weight

and when thought melts in one energy the division disappears?

----------------

To be free, there mustn't be any preparation, control, direction, time gap, pattern to follow.

But the idea of 'no control' can also turn into control.

The idea of 'no direction' can also turn into a direction.

Every idea, all thought must be let go, not playing with it.

-----------------

It's all rather simple if one is serious. Thought makes up fear and there is the reaction to escape from it, naming it 'fear' and trying to turn away from it, which is also thought. Thereby the field of thought is never left and fear is really never left but buried beneath the activity of escape. Still it is there, lurking and ready to surface whenever we have a bit of spare time. So again we go, work faster, do something, write a book, switch on the TV, watch a film, work more, do a meditation-concentration, and so it goes. We never really rest in complete peace, do we?

But what is rarely tried? Not turning away from the fear? What if the panic comes, the fear or sorrow comes and there is no turning away, no escape? Complete non-avoidance of the void? What if one does not escape, doesn't turn away, looks 'the void' completely in the face? But it must be a complete look, without any direction of escape, no preparation or effort. Then what? Have you ever tried it? Have you ever dropped whatever you were doing, suspended language, all activity and all entertainment, and faced the fear and sorrow completely? Then you may have tasted freedom which cannot be touched by the world.

'Oh, I must have time for that, I don't have time for playing around.' Really? Maybe on the contrary you have always been playing around? Thinking, escaping and making up time this way? Maybe there is no time per se, only thought makes up such an illusion?

Can time be perceived or only thought can be perceived?

-----------------------

Nothing has to be done (with perception). It's already 'What sees is all there is', perfectly clear from the beginning. It doesn't need any preparation, pattern, direction, effort, clarification, meditation-concentration, escape, discipline. But we are too busy being occupied and THINK, imagine we lost it and have to uncover it, clear the perception, find it out. Well, All is at home, yet thought imagines being on a walk.
Now, someone occupied at work, interacting with people, pushed in a hostile environment may ask 'but what shall I do'? Well the circus we live in is unfortunate but the answer is the same. You do not need to do, cannot do anything by any activity to escape that what is, be it despair, fear, sorrow, anxiety. You can only suspend the haste, stop avoiding, escaping or clinging. Completely.

--------------

Hey,

So you've been given a chance to be here.

I am now completely interested in

not avoiding the void.

What happens 'when nothing happens'.

The unknown.

And in definition: Perception not directed towards any object.

So I could maybe drop in to taste silence together?

----------------

Is there a choice? If there is, it means there is the illusion of fragmentation by thought.

------------

- Do you want to go to the cinema?

-If I wanted anything I would be unhappy. Wanting something means being divided from it, so unhappiness.

-----------

Death is death of the 'I'. 'I' is thought fear and sorrow. Death is the end of the agony of the 'I'. Freedom is when the energy which imagines being divided as thought-'I'-'the idea of 'death' disappears in one energy.

-----------

I-thought knows so much, yet it doesn't know unfocused perception, which is freedom and happiness. Unfocused perception is precisely what I-thought does not know. It cannot be known, it is where thought cannot fit because thought is too small, infinitely small. Freedom is a great space without boundaries, which is precisely here.

-----------

Looking at how most people live, including the so-called elite, I may be crazy.

-----------

Everything is in nothing and it is completely here. The 'before' and 'after' is only an imagination.

----------

The dead are completely here. Resting in Peace.

-----------

Big bang IS completely here (so it completely IS NOT). It is one undivided unknown energy. Without any fragments made up by thought. Big bang cannot be afraid of big bang. Still it's better to save the wonderful forms it created than to kill them. Eyes can see the creation.

-----------

It's enough to completely stop occupation and look and listen at once. It is perception not directed towards any object. Every one can live with this perception ('What sees is all there is'). It's the only perception there is. The other is thought (doubt, fear, time, etc.)

------------

How to suspend thought immediately? By effortless perception not directed towards any object. Seeing, hearing, feeling the weight simultaneously, here. It is our home, freedom, the end of neurosis. The big bang. That what is forever sought in time but what was never lost, because it is not time.

-------------

All the best is not all. Only completely all is best.

-------------

If it is not full of joy, then it is good to ask if it has to be done.

---------------------

Is it too early? Well, when the bombs start to fall, it's certainly too late. And when there's 15 billion people on Earth it's also too late. And when the polar caps melt down it will also have grim causes. And when the rivers are full of toxic waste and the Amazon forest disappears it's also too late.

---------------------

You can treat the sound of a military manoeuvres far away with the thought 'they're preparing for a war'. Or you can listen to the sound of the guns firing as just a sound simultaneous with all other sounds and vision and the gravitation. It doesn't mean you're not sensitive. On the contrary it makes you more sensitive. And you are in peace, you do not know conflict. The better place, the best place, our home, is fully completely here. We don't have to look for it. Just do not avoid it at all, be the void completely. It means no effort at all, no direction, no reaction, no preparation, no control, no pattern to adjust to.

-----------------------

The imagined life of fragmentation by thought is fear, sorrow, unhappiness, despair and neurosis. Psychical health, sanity and the end of conflict is one energy, perception not directed towards any object, completely here.

-----------------------

If you PERCEIVED no-thought completely, which is perception not directed towards any object, you would understand that no one ever leaves death. We rest in it, here always rest in peace.

We are not going anywhere. We have never left energy, we have never been born out of space. No entity separate from one energy was ever born. Only thought imagines so, thereby making up fear. But it is not the knowledge of this that is the understanding but PERCEPTION free of thought. PERCEPTION NOT DIRECTED TOWARDS ANY OBJECT.

-----------------------

We usually want to be somewhere else than here. Did you notice that? What if we decided to stop and take a look at how it is to be completely here. No running away at all. No movement away to entertainment, a drink, a prayer, TV, work. Just being totally with what is without effort. Maybe if the look is direct and complete, maybe it is not that bad at all, maybe it's what you've been looking for running around for so long, maybe it all have been right here! Have you ever tried that? Find out!

----------------------

Every control means effort. When there is no control, the mind goes and does what it wants. There is no controller at all, no reaction, no direction, no discipline, no pattern to adjust to. This is freedom.

----------------------

In competition one side always loses so all lose. In cooperation everyone gains.

-------------------------

Life does not happen in time. Life is energy. Time cannot be perceived. It does not exist.

------------------------

As long as there's no nuclear war and we are not in physical pain let's enjoy life in peace of the perception not directed towards any object.

-------------------------

The unhappy world doesn't mean that you have to be unhappy. And if you are not unhappy, the world is also less unhappy. This doesn't happen by wishing to be happy but by not wishing anything at all.

------------------------

Choosing something (direction-recognition-fragmentation-occupation-comparison-desire-time) means being out of tune with everything (energy).

-----------------------

Do you want to have e-motion or you are resting completely in joyful energetic peace? Not dispersing energy on imagining being a separate entity. Being one with that what is.

-----------------------

Can a fragmented mind, a mind full of thought, authority, hierarchy, stuck in memory, history, can such a mind come up with a solution that is not fragmented, so it does not lead to disintegration? Obviously not. Such a mind will always think in terms of my interest versus your interest, my river versus your river, my country versus your country, my work, my football team, my army, and so on. And with that, everything goes into disorder. As long as there's this division, no one is safe. As long as one family is rich and there's hunger in another, no one is safe.

Energy is both a particle and a wave, and for a wave there is no boundaries of fragmentation.

------------------------

There may be a few strongly conditioned ones who will say they like competition even having knives under their throats. But we have no choice but leave them alone with their toys and their entertainment.

------------------------

'I am God' is a dangerous thing to say in language. Unfortunately it is openly used by the so-called spiritual teachers. But I dare say, they do not know what they are talking about. What is that 'I' they talk about? God is God is a correct statement. Energy is Energy. Also 'I am not' is a correct statement. I do not exist, only God exists, energy exists. I am God is a tragically dangerous imagination until 'I am not' is completely perceived.

------------------------

Where is 'future'?  It cannot be perceived, can it? So does future exist per se or it's thought playing this tragic game all the 'time', calling itself time, past of future?

-------------------------

What is fear? Is not fear movement of thought? Is there fear when there is no thought? Thought is not when space-energy (all light, sound, gravity simultaneously)  is perceived completely without effort at all. Simultaneous effortless directionless perception of sound, weight, light - all energy at once.

            Why not live this one moment there really is in peace? Freedom from lack, uneasiness, fear, sorrow, stress is not in time, it is completely at the beginning - here, in perception not directed towards any object. Without control, without concentration, effortless, simple and easy. The better place is right here, we don't have to seek it. Looking for it in time is a grievous mistake, because time does not exist. Time, which is also fear, sorrow and desire is made up by thought.

------------------------

The mind living in the illusion of time becomes instantly conditioned and takes everything for granted. But everything is really in flow. Nothing is certain and however high are the walls you have built, there still is no security at all. Why do we take that what is given only for a moment for granted? Why don't we cherish it as something unique, precious as it is, without trying to change it to our liking and according to our preferences? I cannot take what is for granted and count on any 'tomorrow', because tomorrow is not given. We have to learn to value that what is completely. Look around in awe. There could be nothing but here it is. Unbelievable, unknown, luminous.

---------------------

Effortless perception not directed towards any object = freedom from thought = freedom from desire 
---------------------

Thought = effort = perturbation = control = direction = goal = sorrow = fear  = neurosis = time = future = guilt = memory = recognition = choice = division = concentration = object = occupation = distraction = desire = unhappiness = psychological suffering = problem = anxiety = despair = haste = conflict = imagination = incoherence = comparison = contradiction = avoidance = attachment.

-----------------------

Effortless Perception not directed towards any object does not have to be sought or developed. It is not in time. It is always ready. The search, which is concentration by thought, is the denial of it.
----------------------

 

It's easy to realize that when there is no thinking of a problem, there is no problem. Thinking makes up a problem. Thought and problem, any psychological problem, is the same thing.
-----------------------

Frustration is only possible in the false perception made up memory,

 when the correct perception - non-being (non-continuity) - is not perceived. 

----------------------

'The future' is made up by memory. 'The future' is memory. It does not exist per se.
---------------------

Effortless perception of all energy, simultaneously of everything perceptible.

This definition is not to be analysed as a mathematical equasion to end up with an answer in time. It is what is before the definition is given. It is the mind that is not in tune with it, thinking about it instead of perceiving at once all the energy.

Alalysis is paralysis. Analysis is the problem itself.
---------------------

Freedom from fear is
Perception not directed towards any object.

What is an object?

An object is any imaginary fragment divided by thought from one energy. Thought concentrates on it, occupies itself with it, attaches to or wants to avoid it.
------------

Films, TV, radio and other entertainment stimulate imagination-thought-desire-fear.
------------

This moment is all there is, all energy simultaneously. What perceives is all energy, which does not require effort, direction, choice, authority and control. There is nothing to strive for because everything is here, nothing missing or lacking.

It is not occupied with only one 'thing', so not only a bird singing, shuffling steps, the weight (gravitation) or a yellow chair. Without effort all is perceived simultaneously.

--------------------

Perception not directed towards any object envelops (includes) thinking.

In energy, the energy tied in thinking dissolves. It's all one energy.

Separation is made up by thinking (imaginary).
--------------------

The energy tied up in thought is not separate from all energy. All energy is one.

In perception which envelops thought (includes it) at once with all energy, thought dissolves.

We can  p e r c e i v e the one whole energy effortlessly at once but we  t h i n k instead, which makes up the 'separation', 'fear', 'sorrow', 'time' and 'desires'.
--------------

There is no confusion here now, in the end which is the beginning, because What perceives is all there is. It is already happening. Thought may ask what to 'do' to be in unitary perception. But the only thing to do is to suspend language and give in to it. Give in to the effortless unitary perception of all energy simultaneously. It is already happening.
--------------

When you mention choking cigarette smoke, there are people who say fish stink as well. When you say the radio is annoying, they say silence is painful to their ears. They may never be able to find peace.
--------------

It is very important to understand that freedom is NOT a method-concentration-direction-discipline to practise (always in time, in order to reach an end, thus always in THOUGHT only) - this is effort. Freedom is what IS, beyond imagination, AT THE BEGINNING, ALL READY when we completely let go of the occupation with the false.
