Most of you are tired of playing around in this world. You’ve been through all kinds of experiences, you’ve had all types of conditioning and you’re tired of it all. This is the first requisite. You have to be tired of the world and its nonsense, to find something else.
As long as you’re still satisfied with this world, and the world has a good hold over you—it is only when you become tired of this world and the games people play, that you will get down to true spirituality. As long as you are still playing games in this world, trying to get things outside of yourself, obtain things, looking at the world as if it had something to offer you, you can never become self-realized.
Robert Adams
Stop assuming Identity to be cooped up in the form, body. Stop assuming your Self to be what It never can be. You are not a human, an animal, a mortal, a personality or a sinner. You are never separate from Existence, the Life that is your Self. Stop assuming biology, ignorance, superstition, duality or sin to be your cause or beginning—the origin of your Life, Being, Substance, Intelligence, Consciousness. Identity—or that you must “emerge,” or “evolve” from an imperfect or lesser state of Existence into the perfect Self. You are none other than the one you are—the Infinite Intelligence, the Sole One-Infinite-Individual who is all of all NOW. Act from this true and only Intelligent viewpoint. Rejoice in who and what you are by rejoicing in what Mind knows Itself to be. Conscious Intelligence alone does all seeing, all knowing, and does it without cessation, interruption, interference.
That Which Is
