Dwelling in the space just prior to thought

• You sense that you are present. You sense that you are in the presence of the allness of us here. Just like when you walk out in nature [...] before your stupid mind says, "Isn't that a beautiful tree," you catch the space in which you saw the tree's beauty without comment. That's the space you live in. It's just prior to thought.
  It's easy to just fall back into it. It's not like something you have to accomplish through years of study and meditation. The willingness to trust it and just drop back into that – that is your reality. Sedona Seminar Realizing the Root of Consciousness, segment titled "Perception and Illusion, Distortions of Reality", June 2002

• [...] the mind stops when it is no longer narcisstically energized. Thinkingness is intrinsically a vanity. Discovery of the Presence of God, S. 81-82

• In reality nothing thoughts say about oneself or other people have any reality. All statements are fallacious and represent programming and positionality. I. Subjectivity and Reality, S. 25

• To let go of the thinking, therefore, seems frightening because it is also seen as the main tool of survival; plus it is 'me'. As 'me' it is viewed as unique, personal, and precious, and it constitutes the main data base of identification of 'who I am'. […] The fear of loss of the self-identity brings up resistance. As we get closer to the discovery of the source of the ego's tenacity, we make the amazing critical discovery that we are enamored with our self. I. Reality and Subjectivity, S. 40

• Viewed from Reality, thoughts are actually an 'out there'. Although it may sound amazing, they can be totally dispensed with because they interfere with the achievement of true happiness. I. Subjectivity and Reality, chapter "spiritual purification", S. 41

• If we explore the relationship between mentalization and the brain using consciousness research techniques already described, we find confirmation that thoughts exist independently of the brain. [...]
  Like a radio that converts unseen energy waves into intelligible sound, the brain is a receiver instrument of the energies of thought forms. Thus the attractor fields of the nonlinear domain of consciousness influence many 'minds' and brains simultaneously. Like an unseen radio transmitter, the attractor field radiates a field which is accessible to those instruments with which it has concordance. (Note that the mechanism is concordance and not causality.)
  A calibrated level of consciousness then exists as an independent field that contains concordant thought forms attuned to the 'frequency' of that attractor field. The field therefore sustains, supports and gives a 'home' to similar thought forms. If an individual mind attunes to that level of consciousness, the field then tends to potentiate the emergence of associated thoughts. This may result in the phenomenon of entrainment as the associated emotions increase the energy of alignment and commitment to the field and its personification as 'me'.
  Thus, we see great masses of people emoting and behaving in concert as though hypnotized. I. Subjectivity and Reality, S. 215

• The sequential thinkingness in endless babble of nonsense that has to do with nothing other than perception and not with essence is totally worthless. All your thoughts, including the most treasured and wonderful thoughts surrounded with silver and gold are worth nothing. So you start [to see] with humility that all thoughts are worth nothing at all. They are amusement. Seminar Sedona The Mystic, 7. December 2007

• The way to find the silent source overall in the phenomena is underneath. There is a blankness underneath thinkingness. Don't try to stop thinkingness. Because you just end up as the person who is trying to stop thinkingness. Seminar Sedona The Mystic, 7. December 2007

• The sequential thinkingness in an endless babble of nonsense that has to do with nothing other than perception and not with essence is totally worthless. All your thoughts, including the most treasured and wonderful thoughts surrounded with silver and gold are worth nothing. So you stare with humility that all thoughts […] are worth nothing at all.

• Question: How do you stop that thinkingness?
  Answer: You become enamored of God, instead of enamored of the thoughts. To discern the Presence of God in all that exists, is a gift that suddenly comes forth of its own when the willingness to surrender all that stands in its way. The gratification, the satisfaction, the excitement of thinkingness. Feelingness, emotions, [...] It's a great leap because we transcend the instincts of the animal, we transcend the thinkingness of homo sapiens, and respond to the Divinity within us. Sedona Seminar Karma and the Afterlife, disc 1 of 3, October 2002

• Once we understand the power of the mind and the nature of thought, we begin to realize that one of the principles of consciousness is that we are subject only to what we hold in mind. This one sentence is the key to the healing of all illnesses, pain, and suffering. We are subject only to what we hold in mind. The mind is extraordinarily powerful. Healing and Recovery, S. 313
