Цитаты из книги Cloud-Hidden, Whereabouts Unknown

Through this intense exploration of sensory experience he discovers two things. First, that existence or energy is at root a simple alterna- tion or vibration of on and off, yes and no, now you see it/now you don't, which is capable of infinite complication, as all numbers can be represented with the symbols 0 and 1. He learns that the "yes" or "on" element of energy cannot be experienced without contrast with the "no" or "off," and therefore that darkness and death are by no means the mere absence of light and life, but rather their origin. In this way the fear of death and nothingness is entirely
overcome.

For when you see that the universe cannot be distinguished from how you act upon it there is neither fate nor free will, self nor other. There is simply one all-inclusive Happening, in which your personal sensation of being alive occurs in just the same way as the river flowing and the stars shining far out in space. There is no question of submitting, or accepting or going with it, for what happens in and as you is no different from what happens as it. To think of submis- sion is to divide yourself from it, and also to pile up a huge store of negative and aggressive energy against it.

We are misled when we believe that our ideas represent or mirror nature, because that sets us outside nature as mere observers. The tree does not represent the fish, though both use light and water. The point is rather that our thoughts and ideas are nature, just as much as waves on the ocean and clouds in the sky. The mind grows thoughts as the field grows grass. If I think about thoughts, as if there were some "I," some thinker watching them from outside, there arises the infinite regression of thinking about thinking, etc., because this "I" is itself a thought, and thoughts, like trees, grow of themselves. In solitude it is easier for thoughts to leave themselves alone. It is, thus, a mistake to try to get rid of thoughts, for who will push them out? But when thoughts leave themselves alone the mind clears up.
