"Just be yourself. Dive deep inside. Look at your own experience without judging, without reason, without understanding. Become stupid as a rock, because your mind keeps you from going anywhere. Look at all without engaging your mind. " "Having been with Robert for four or five years, one day just before lunch as we walked around the Warner Park, he said,''I wondered why you were not yet awake . I think it's because you're too smart.''
In other words, I thought too. My mind was still active, reading Nisargadatta, Ramana, asking about meditation, being involved in several activities, questioning everything, writing articles, working on preparing my exams to be a licensed psychologist in California.

Seunng Sah said the same thing about me,''You think too much. You're like a golf ball spinning around the hole, do not fall.''
However, when I was at Mount Baldy zazen in silence, no books, talking little with a very structured life, my sessions were very powerful. I was in samadhi all the time when I was sitting in meditation. The body / mind disappeared, and I answered hundreds of koans with ease, sometimes responding correctly to two per day.
But somehow, my practical foundations were even more powerful before I go to Mount Baldy while I practiced only''The Search''LES as to follow the JE. However, I also swam in the phenomena of Kundalini unwanted. Sasaki got me out of the practice of''The Search''LES (and dysfunction of Kundalini) and offered me the practice of koans, which got me out of''The Search''for SOI several years, unfortunately.
At that time, there were very few books on''Search''of SOI, the Jnana Marga or even Zen compared to today. But now there are about 20 million of''masters''enlightened self-proclaimed who studied under Papaji or one of his disciples, and everything became confused. There is now every fantasy books of Nisargadatta. Everyone in his favorite quotes from hundreds of sources and reflect their personal understanding.
But few are truly awake. They think it is, but not so much. So few of them s'ont ready to stop thinking and speculating on the states, levels of consciousness about the state of Bernadette (Bernadette Roberts) versus the state of Krishnamurti, Ramana against the state, against the state of Robert, against my state, and the United States.
Emptiness, foreground, background, interior space, outer space, the illusory world of the self and the outside world, world real absence of mind, consciousness versus * cognition (awareness / consciousness *), the bare consciousness, existence versus non-existence, Ashtavakra Gita, what I said versus what Rajiv said.
Do not you see? You are all idiots too smart.
Forget all these tricks of the mind and its speculation on the most advanced states, Turiyatta, deep sleep awake and the Void the foreground, and above all, stop basing your understanding of what WAS UP YOUR EXPERIENCES 'TO NOW! All these experiences were shaped by your reading, life experiences and your meditations so far and you have captured in a''present''mind instead of being freed from all this.
How to go beyond all this? Abandon all speculation. Abandon all comparisons According to the different teachers. Cease to apply your favorite quotes and concise comments on Facebook, where everyone congratulates everyone on how they are''advanced''.
To advance you must let the words, theories, speculations and comparisons behind and just look inside you. That's it. Stop learning from books because they only confuse you. Burn the books and UG Krishnamurti Jiddha. Burn Ramana. Burn the books and Rajiv Edji. Stop name gurus and ask others what it means. Stop trying to understand the condition of Robert, and then worry about how to reproduce it or if it is the same or if it is different from that of Robertson. Have you any idea how this does not help you? Select a channel, a method, a teacher and do not compare the ways, methods or teachers. Become less scholarly and more humble. Know nothing.
What many are not much different than speculating on how much money Donald Trump has against a certain Prince of Saudi Arabia, and then decide you want to do a number of billions to assess their state spirit or style life. Spirituality then becomes an acquisition state, and if anything, it is to de-acquire, get rid of things, ideas, mental states.
Just be yourself. Dive deep within. Look at your own experience without judging, without reason, without understanding. Become stupid as a rock, because your mind keeps you from going anywhere. Look at all without engaging your mind.
Even''The Search of the Self''is to be performed without the constant questioning of the mind. Instead, just look at indoors and keep you there, live there.
I really do not know how to say it more directly than I do now. Stop, look and listen only! Your research and comparisons on the outside, among gurus, theoretical books, and play with techniques demonstrates how you do not trust your experiences, or your ability to penetrate to the source. Many have tried, but they leave because they failed to penetrate the source, and instead of persisting, they come to mind.
Perseverance in''The Search of the Self''is everything. And humility. Forget all your accumulated knowledge and your ability to rationally speculate about the Absolute. The''I Am''is slippery, as Nisargadatta says, it continually changes shape. You can not cataloged with concepts, much less talk about what is beyond-the mystery.
** English is the word awareness and consciousness. The translation for both is the same in French, or consciousness. I used the text in cognition (ability to know) and awareness for "awareness". "
