The foundation of my teaching is what I call 'Clarity of Intention'. It is the irrevocable, unshakeable commitment to attaining spiritual freedom, above all else, here and now, in this life. Being clear about one's intention to be free means that one is ready and willing to do anything that one has to do in order to succeed.

The stablity of the transformation depends entirely upon remaining resolutely in the unknown, never to return again. What does that mean? It means ever abiding in that mysterious place where the mind has no foothold whatsoever.

Now what you've gotten a hold of is a very difficult fellow -- it's your ego. He can sneak around and confuse you like the dickens. You can spend years trying to get behind him. And what you do, you can get into an infinite regression. You look at your ego. All right, here am I and all of a sudden it dawns upon you that that which is looking at the ego is really the I. So you stick that one out in front. You look at it again, but then your realize it couldn't be, because here is a something that is observable. At last it finally dawns that I AM THAT which is never an object before Consciousness. And mayhap, at that moment, in your analysis -- the Heavens will open.

That's one side of the equation--persistence. The one you have control over. The other side is grace. A person on the path has help. Once a person makes a commitment to the Truth--I mean truly demonstrates a sincere desire to find his Real Self at all cost--then this commitment will attract assistance and protection. Opportunities arise. Blocks are removed. Decisions may even be made for you.
