The world of Absolute Reality,
onto which your mind has projected a world of relative unreality
is independent of yourself, for the very simple reason that it is yourself.

Examine the motion of change
and you will see. What can change
while you do not change, can be
said to be independent of you.
But what is changeless must be one
with whatever else is changeless.
The main objective to grasp is
that you have projected onto
yourself a world of your own imagination, based on memories,
on desires and fears, and that you
have imprisoned yourself in it.
Break the spell and be free.
You are universal. You need not and you
cannot become what you are already.
Only cease imagining yourself to be
the particular. What comes and goes
has no being. It owes its very appearance to reality.
You know that there is a world, but does the world
know you? All knowledge flows from
you, as all being and all joy.

Realize that you are the eternal source and
accept all as your own.Such acceptance is true love.
Having never left the house you are asking
for the way home. Get rid of wrong ideas, that is all.
Collecting right ideas also will take you nowhere.
Just cease imagining.
Don't you understand?! Enough if you do not
misunderstand. Don't rely on your mind for liberation.

It is the mind that brought you to
bondage. Go beyond it altogether.
is beginningless cannot have a cause.
It is not that you knew what you are and
then you have forgotten. Once you know, you cannot forget.

Don't ask the mind to confirm what is beyond the mind.
Direct experience is the only valid confirmation.
