01UndatedFirst we have to understand that we are not the mind! We are identical with neither its bright, nor its dark side!Frank Wanderer / quote ↗

03UndatedReaching beyond ourselves, exceeding our mind is not a simple thing. It is, in fact, impossible–one half of the Ego is trying to exceed the other.Frank Wanderer / quote ↗

06UndatedBy assembling the mosaic image of our own mosaic of “truth” (our own version of the “truth”) from our accumulated knowledge and through comparisons with those of others, we shall not be free and do not get closer to Truth.

09UndatedThis is the ordinariness of the Present, without anything special, mystic or mysterious, it simply exists!!

13UndatedThe Wanderer will stop when they recognize the activities of the mind and refuse to follow it any longer. The Wanderer realizes that with the help of the mind they will not be able to surpass the mind. The Wanderer will experience that stopping is the inactive moment of the mind, the silence between thoughts. In that silence, the Wanderer will experience the Consciousness without forms, and recognize that he or she is in fact the Presence without thoughts.Frank Wanderer / quote ↗
14UndatedThe Wanderer in every moment spent awake faces two alternatives: a choice is to be made between the ambitions stretching between past and future, or the quiet, simplicity, purity and emptiness, full of vibrating life, of the present. It is, however, only the latter that brings to the life of the Wanderer the Witnessing Presence!Frank Wanderer / quote ↗
