Thread Name: BS: Strange Things You Likely Didn't Know
Subject: RE: BS: Strange Things You Likely Didn't Know
Sources? Child's play, my dear Watson! ;-) I could direct you to at least 50 brilliant books on the general subject, but I doubt you'd read them. I could direct you to a number of brilliant people in the field, but I doubt you'd be interested in them. You're interested in other stuff, I think, and that's fine, because that is your chosen path for now.

Anyway, sources aren't actually needed. All you need to do is totally still your own busy mind...while still awake. Most people do not find that easy. They find it virtually impossible. They're too impatient and restless. They can't shut up their own internal dialogue.

YOU are the source, my friend. Just still the chattering mind for 15 or 20 minutes, and listen. Observe the thoughts as they go by and let them pass until you experience complete inner silence. If you ever succeed in doing that, you will have all the sources you could ever need to know the Truth.

Don't rely on me. Don't rely on religious leaders. Don't rely on sacred books. Don't rely on spells or ceremonies or icons. Rely on the voice within you. The voice of "God" (as they call It) is within you, but you have to shut up for awhile in order to hear it.

Your mind doesn't want to do that...it's afraid it will die! Your mind thinks it IS you. That is not the case. You're something far greater than your busy little mind.
