SELF

The Self Is experienced when there is no "i" thought.

That which arises as "i" in the body is the mind.

Self, Reality, God, Absolute, Truth, SAT, etc. are just words pointing to something so subtle that is beyond the perception of the body-mind. Space is perceived in the presence of That. Even Consciousness is perceived in the presence of That.

Deep sleep, dream and waking states appear in its presence. Mind is a product of consciousness like a little cloud that appears in the sky. Everything seen with the mind is only a shadow of That.

All is That, Which Alone Is. Nothing can express That because all expressions are mental. Words, feelings or thoughts are also mental.

Only when the mind is quiescent, THAT WHICH Alone IS can be DIRECTLY EXPERIENCED / KNOWN / REVEALED.

Let the mind be trained to think of:

- silence between the thoughts

- silence between words

- silence between the breathing

- space - be like space moving in space

- '0' (zero) - ignore all else

You will experience beyond a ray of doubt your Real Self, which is beyond words and description. Absolute or Pure Silence is the closest expression of That experience.

That "silence" and This "noise" are the SAME. Just as the water in the wave and the ocean or space in a jar is the space everywhere. No difference. Only when seen with the mind, separation is perceived.
