LIVE ABOVE THE INTELLECT
     I want to give something to you and you may want to write it down. Listen to the following please. No thought-paths can lead you back home; when seeing this, you are back home. Thought tells you, you must reach somewhere in time and space.
     Once more. No thought-path can lead you back home; when seeing this you are back home. Thought tells you that you must reach somewhere in time and space, which is a false message to you. No thought-path can lead you back home. There's no way you can think your way back to the Father's house because the Father's house is without personal thoughts. When you understand this, the thought structure collapses and with its collapse, you are back home.
     Time and space. Time first of all: "In time I will be happy; in time I will be fulfilled." All the thoughts that you have about “In time I'm going to get something and things are going to change" are self-delusion. Many ways, for example, "When my physical body stands next to the physical body of that girl and we're in a social or sexual relationship, I will be happy.” Or "When my body moves to another state and I have that other occupation in that other factory, I will be happy."
     See, time and space come to you falsely created by the mind; they come to you as saviors, as rescuers. When they collapse through insight into what we're talking about, the idea of either time and space being saviors also collapses and when there's no time and when there's no space, then what is left? Here and now. Now and here.
     You're seated here now. Let's do it, let's be awake right now. Conscious of the physical body at first because that's part of our present life. Not thinking about anything, but just seeing that we are here. And catching any blockage thoughts trying to enter and take away our awareness of being free in the here and now. Simply knowing, by catching thoughts as they come into the mind and try to invade the imperial palace of our mind, of our higher mind, of our awareness. Seeing them come up, but remaining so awake, they come up but are blocked by the conscious sentry who doesn't even have to say "no" any more. All you have to do is be in the light of your only here and now. And the creatures of the night who prefer darkness and can't stand light —  when they come up to the gateway of your mind, they come up so far and they sense the light. And it makes them nervous doesn't it? It makes them feel threatened. And then because they feel threatened, they see there's no point trying to take you over any more.
     So if darkness comes up and sees the light, all by themselves they turn away automatically. You know, for a long, long time, the creatures of darkness were able to come up and slip by the sentry and get inside our mind and bring our darkness into it. Didn't they succeed so many terrible times? We know better now.
     All right, the real reward that we sensed but didn't know: Remember a few years ago when we started on the path, the inward path, we kind of sensed that there is a different kind of reward. We didn't know what it was. We thought it would be something like the old rewards but it didn't turn out to be that way at all. And so we kept working real hard, trying to understand what it means to be conscious, what it means to get rid of blockages; and the nature of the reward gradually became clearer and clearer to us.
     And the nature of the reward is to be awake, to be in the here and now, to live above the intellect, to live within eternity right now while we're surrounded by time events. Now, this is called living freely, living with Truth, with Reality, living with God.

THERE IS ONLY ONE HOME
     We're going to talk ... about being in the right place internally, about being in our rightful, natural and spiritual home. And the first thing you must record in your mind is that there is only one home. That home is yours to find, yours to live in; and you don't need a single outside influence or human being to find it. You don't need anyone. Truth is kindly, not cruel. Do you think you would be put here on earth with the opportunity to find out who you really are and then find nothing but endless obstacles? There can be an end to the journey and you can come back home.
     Don't you forget what I just said! And I want you to notice how tempted you are to believe that the home you call home is the right one. You have to give up your constant and furious belief that you know what is going to give you relief and bring you back home. You don't know. As a matter-of-fact, it's a dreadful ignorance to you.
     Fact: It exists. It's waiting for you to take the right actions, to do the right things in order for you to find it. Now, what stops you?
