The infinite stillness, behind whatever sounds we hear in the room, is your Self. Without the infinite stillness of your Self, you wouldn’t be able to hear anything. Without the infinite context of nonform, you would not be able to experience form. Because of the voidness of the Presence, one experiences form, experiences existence, is aware of what the mind is up to. So, we don’t want to be scared of mind. We want to handle mind the same as we did the animal. We love mind. It’s not our enemy. It took evolution billions of years to develop this incredible thing here, which I now–because I want to realize the Presence of God, …becomes an obstacle.
