To admit to anything is to confess to everything.

While with the ordinary the only essential thing is to be alive,
with those who would awaken it is also essential that they REMEMBER
that they are alive.

To admit to anything is to confess to the worst crime of all -- the
stupidity of talking.

The title of one mystic's current favorite book is:
"To Write Your Memoirs You Must Know Nothing (This Also Applies To Thinking About Yourself)."
(He says he got it through The Crook Of The Month Club.)

 

Cliches:
Verbal shortcuts for those too intelligent
to waste unnecessary time.

To be "enlightened" it is only necessary to see one thing -- the mind!
To see it clearly and constantly, under all conditions.

To picture enlightenment in terms more complex than this is to insult your
own intelligence.

 

Thinking:
Mental shortcuts for those too intelligent to waste their time
simply being conscious.

There are two dangers in asking a mystic what something he said meant:
one is that he will tell you, and the other is that he'll say he doesn't know either.

 

The Game:
If you become addicted to words, you'll lose.
