The mind will only settle when there’s quiet. You can’t really do anything to settle it, it settles itself. When the intellectual mind stops intellectualizing, the internal noise will stop on in its own…
When the mind truly settles, there’s an understanding of quiet and how it relates to life. When this occurs there’s freedom because quietness arises naturally. We seek because of an internal urging for quiet which is what a settled mind reveals. This can‘t be known intellectually. Intelligence is actually noise, quietness can only be known through a settled mind. The lack of quiet makes life very mundane. It makes you less aware of the internal urging of quietness provided by the Universe. Without this awareness you can’t truly understand what the benefits of a settled mind are. Understand quietness is always there, it’s just not understood. Nothing is needed to experience quietness; the only way you can be quiet is to being quiet. Methods may be useful in learning to be quiet, but the only reason this is so is because the mind hasn’t been developed for quietness, it’s been developed to generate noise.
It’s a human fault to need to make life about something, but if something is needed, make it about a settled mind. I know this because it’s the only thing that truly makes sense to me. It’s the only place where I don’t need to think and there is peace. Not to think is to be in a state of no mind and in this state is true peace. How can it not be peaceful in this state, there’s nothing to cause one to suffer. There’s no generated noise in the head. The settled mind of I Am. Nothing more will ever be needed because within a settled mind is where everything arises from; unless you want to live by the generated noise in your head. Quietness is the ultimate truth, but even saying that is noise. Quietness of a settled mind is all that is, when one stops seeking it or trying to define it that’s when it arises…
The more we grasp for answers outside ourselves the more in the grasp of fear we are. When we look outside, its only because we are fearful of what we might find inside.
