The ME believes that it can control the dream, rather than being a part of, or another aspect of the dream. And thus the ME, by definition, believes/imagines/knows it’s separate from the dream, otherwise how would it be able to influence it?
What observes the dream?
Does that which observes the dream do anything else but observe?
Michael Jeffreys
A: Constant frustration and suffering.
Q: What do I get when I try to control the uncontrollable?

Moods are like clouds… they come and go all by themselves.
You’re not making them come or go.
Life is.

You can’t think your way to Truth.
How do you think your way to what you already are?

If I’m not listening from Silence then I’m not listening.

“We would rather explore the far side of the moon or the bottom of the ocean than the hidden depths within ourselves.
Unless we investigate the world within we can never know reality–we will only know our beliefs about it, or our conceptions of it.”
-William Hart, from The Art of Living Vipassana Meditation
* “VIPASSANA means ‘insight’ in the ancient Pali language of India. It is the essence of the teaching of the Buddha, the actual experience of the truths of which he spoke.”
No thought has ever contained Truth.
It’s the other way around.
Happy New Year!!
Love and Peace to ALL Beings everywhere.

“To me, living realization is a deep, deep understanding of the fact that everything is that, is the divine, is God, whatever word you want to use… truth, true nature, they’re all the same thing.
And it’s kind of like this circle we make… we go into forgetting what we are in truth, and then we become seekers and want to know what we are.
And what do you think is doing that? What do you think is calling itself back home? The separate self?? As if it exists? No. What is it that goes on this whole journey of seeming forgetfulness?”
-Susanne Marie
MICHAEL: All is God. (Thinking pretends otherwise.)
What do you call the space where clinging and aversion meet?
Freedom
