Don’t touch thoughts and they will empty themselves out. New MJ Awakening Blog September 14, 2018

When the garbage inside our house starts to pile up, we take it outside and throw it away because it’s unhealthy to sit in garbage. Yet when our mind starts to pile up with garbage (thoughts), we do the opposite and wallow in it and then can’t figure out why we’re sick, miserable and suffering. So we think more about it, thus adding more garbage to the problem of having too much garbage in our head!? Do you see?

Don’t touch thoughts and they will empty themselves out.

Keep quiet internally as you go about your day. Notice that whatever needs to get done still gets done.

The practice is to remain SILENT… New MJ Awakening Pointer September 12, 2018

The practice is to remain SILENT, regardless of what the mind says or doesn’t say. When a thought arises, add nothing and drop back into SILENCE.

“Nothing helps the imaginary person be free.” -Lisa Lennon

MICHAEL: What about what is spontaneously arising is saying it’s you?

“So much suffering comes from wanting to be special…” New MJ Awakening Blog September 5, 2018

“The need to be something instead of nothing… so much suffering comes from wanting to be special… it’s terrible.”  -Salvadore Poe

MICHAEL: Love this pointer by Sal… thinking oneself special in any way, shape or form (which the egoic thinking mind is doing non-stop) is imaginary division, separation, where there is none, and thus the horrible suffering Sal is pointing to. How can anything be more or less special if All is One? It doesn’t compute. No imaginary separation = wholeness = peace.

SILENCE is death to the mind. New MJ Awakening Pointer August 31, 2018

SILENCE is death to the mind. Keep being SILENT. Why? Because you realize you don’t know anything about SILENCE because you’ve been listening to thought, one after the other, almost non-stop, your entire LIFE.

Mind will resist this with everything its got and claim that this is not practical, that you need it to function. Call its bluff and see for yourself that it’s not true and never was. Thought does not move you, LIFE does. Thought doesn’t do anything, LIFE does/is all.

But if you keep thinking, you will never see/experience this. Keep practicing being SILENT. As unpleasant/uncomfortable thoughts and feelings arise, allow them to be freely purged from the system. That the mind fights so hard to avoid SILENCE is your clue that it wants to stay in control, even if 100% illusory.

There is no peace in mind because there are no peace in words. SILENCE is. Be SILENT.

Being SILENCE doesn’t mean there are no thoughts… new MJ Awakening Pointer August 25, 2018

Being SILENCE doesn’t mean there are no thoughts. It means that when a thought arises, you have nothing to add to it.
