Stillness is the quiet state of mind;
Only the Heart is speaking.

The Heart is not
the mind.
The Heart is not
what the mind imagines it to be.

The Heart is That
which you know
when you are not listening
to the oh-so-familiar mind.

Let go of all “knowledge” now.
Let go of knowing anything,
and be guided in trust
by the All.

This is how you become the true servant.
Without realizing it,
without thinking or knowing,
you are guided by the Spirit in everyone,
and all needs are provided for
through you.

You are always led from within,
and you are always answered from within.

When you say “thank you,”
direct your gratitude toward the Heart.
Allow a moment of silence
to follow your words.

Likewise, when you are angry or annoyed
look inside for the cause.
You are always led from within,
so if there is an error that is causing you pain
the error can be found
and eradicated
by looking within.

One cannot figure out
“What am I?”
One cannot know the answer
through thinking.

One can only see the thinking and say,
“Not that,”
while realizing the true answer
is beyond all thought,
inexpressible by words alone.

Knowledge is direct experience.
Direct experience is knowledge.

By asking “What am I?”
and accepting nothing less than knowledge,
you invite direct experience.

Have confidence.
Direct experience will answer.

With hand or fingers
placed on the Heart,
wherever in the chest
or belly or throat
you perceive it to be…

With hand or fingers
placed on the Heart,
repeat in love,
“Only this.
Only this.
I want and need
only this.”

The true I rests within
the stillness deep.
The true I
lives and breathes
in God
as God
Known.

Stillness is truth.
Non-stillness is distraction
or reflection.

In reflection, there is peace.
In distraction, there is looking
for what seems not to be,
yet it exists.

A mere whisper:
“Be still
and know.”

Light is a symbol
for that which shines
from within stillness,
which is absence of fear.

Stillness is peace,
because stillness is absence
of all that isn’t real.

Therefore, you can trust stillness,
because stillness is truth,
and truth cannot deceive.
