“You have to make the right identification. Are you consciousness or are you the [person]? If you believe you are consciousness then you begin to act like consciousness. You will stop worrying, you will stop fearing, you will stop thinking something is wrong someplace. You will feel all is well. Everything is unfolding as it should.

You will be at peace with yourself and the world. But you will know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are all-pervading. Your essence is everywhere and you are total freedom. Right now! Right this minute. You are totally free of any problem that has ever been bothering you.

You are totally free right this minute of anything, of everybody. You’re totally free. … Feel it. You are free! You’re no longer in bondage to person, place or thing. You are infinite freedom, infinite bliss, infinite love. This is your real nature. Love the Self. Love the Self always, and you will always be happy.”

~ Robert Adams (20th century American Advaita mystic)

“[As you begin to awaken] you become more peaceful, more loving, kinder. You begin to understand that there … is nothing to analyze, nothing to discover, nothing to really do, but to be yourself just the way you are. There is no one around that can tell you anything. There is no book around that can teach you anything. You are the one right now. You are the one you’ve always been looking for. You are that! Right this minute, right now, incomprehensible beauty and joy. That bliss that you hear about is yours. It is yours right this moment.”

~ Robert Adams (20th century American Advaita mystic)
