something and nothing - adams



“when you try to drop something,
you believe in yourself”
Many people ask me, "Robert will I be enlightened in this life or do I have to go through many lives?
Will I become free in this life or do I have to go on playing games, making believe?"
My answer is never! You'll never awaken!
It's like the water in the mirage asking,
"When will I become real water?
How long do I have to be a mirage?
When will I become the real water?"
Of course it will never become the real water.
For the mirage can never be anything but a mirage.
It will always be a mirage.
So it is with us.
For you do not exist as a body at all.
You cannot become self-realized it's impossible.
Nothing exists. Yet we appear to exist.
So what to do? Nothing.
"Get your mind off yourself".
Stop thinking about yourself.
Stop thinking about anybody else.
Whatever is supposed to come to you will come to you.
Whatever you are supposed to have you will have.
Wherever you have to go you will go.
The body that you're wearing right now is an hallucination.
You are not that person whatsoever.
Do not fight it. Do not try to change it.
You'll be very surprised at what happens if you leave everything alone. But when you try to change bad for good you're fighting a losing battle for it cannot be done.
All is well, just the way it is.
There is no-one you have to please.
There is no God that you have to appease.
You are the one.
Then again what does exist? Total silence exists.
Pure profound silence. Never try to comprehend these things.
There is no difference between you and a tree or a mountain, a sky or the ocean. The whole universe is composed of hydrogen atoms. So you're nothing but a hydrogen atom.
The 'you' can never become anything.
The only freedom you really have is to be still and quiet.
To be totally quiet.
What you are was never born. It knows nothing of birth.
The one that knows about birth and death doesn't exist.
Robert Adams
,Remember, when you try to get rid of something, 
when you try to drop something, 
you believe in yourself there's something that you've got to drop.
Do you see what I'm saying?
You believe there's something there, that has to be gotten rid of, 
and this keeps you back.
There never was anything that you have to get rid of.
There never was anything that has been interfering with your freedom.
~Robert Adams -T187 Something And Nothing - 1st October, 1992
