I want to share something came across recently, which helped me alot to come into stillness:

Thoughts and thinker are one

"Concentration is a narrowing down of the mind and is not the revealing process which alone frees the mind. Yet most people call this meditation which is merely a process of self-isolation, and isolation is self-protection; and a mind that is protecting itself must be full of fear."

"When you see clearly that the thinker is not separate from his thought you will find freedom, for they are your own creations; there is no longer a battle between the thought and the thinker, which is the cause of all your mental conflict and as you become aware of this the mind becomes quiet, there is no longer any conflict between the thinker and the thought, but there is an understanding of the whole process of thought which is self-knowledge."

"Now to know yourself there must be constant awareness moment to moment without compulsion, without condemnation or justification---just a passive alertness in which you see things as they are. Then there is no problem, the problem has ceased to be because you---the mind---are the problem. Reality has no problem; only the mind of man that is in confusion has a problem. When confusion ceases, then the problem does not exist. Reality alone exists, all else is illusion. In that perfect tranquillity, in this stillness of the heart and mind Reality is. This is the Yoga of the Christ."


MacDonald-Bayne M. (1955) The Yoga of The Christ
