To become conscious we must become Self-aware in the awareness of the observer Self-observing.
You should discover your own reality and not thwart yourself. For you have the self as your only friend, or as your only enemy.
We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves.
Fight with yourself, why fight with external foes? He, who overcomes self will obtain happiness.
When your sense of self is no longer tied to thought, is no longer conceptual, there is a depth of feeling, of sensing, of compassion, of loving, that was not there when you were trapped in mental concepts. You are that depth.
The Self, having in dreams enjoyed the pleasures of sense, gone hither and thither, experienced good and evil, hastens back to the state of waking from which he started. As a man passes from dream to wakefulness, so does he pass from this life to the next.
At night, I open the window and ask the moon to come and press its face against mine. Breathe into me. Close the language-door, and open the love-window. The moon won’t use the door, only the window.
If you wish to be free, know you are the Self, the witness of all these, the heart of awareness. Set your body aside, sit in your own awareness. You will at once be happy, forever still, forever free.
