Robert Adams Quotes and Sayings

Consciousness is the only power.
Remember you're not trying to change bad into good. You want to transcend everything, and become absolutely free.
The only freedom we've got is not to react to anything, but to turn within and know the truth.
When you catch on to your awakening, the world does not change. You just see it differently, that's all. You acquire a feeling of immortality. A feeling of divine bliss, so to speak, when things no longer have the power to affect you.
It makes no difference if the thoughts are good or bad, they're both impostors. In reality there are no good thoughts, there are no bad thoughts. We're not trying to replace bad thoughts for good thoughts. We're trying to leave the thoughts alone, not to do a thing about them.
Wake up. Be free. Do not allow your mind to control you. Your mind is not your master. Inquire within: To whom does the mind come? Inquire within yourself: Who has to bring peace to this world? Who has to change things? As you inquire within yourself, you will begin to feel and see that it is your ego that wants to change things. It is the personal 'I'. The personal "I" wants to do all these things in this world.
Do not try to remove the thoughts for the thoughts will never cease. You'll have good thoughts and bad thoughts for as long as you live. Realize the "I" is the culprit. The "I" has the thoughts. "I" thinks. "I" feels. "I" talks. "I" acts. Without the "I" you wouldn't have the ambitions or the type of thinking you've got. Follow the "I" thought to the Source, and that is how you will find peace. That's how you will find love. That's how you will find joy. It's up to you.
As we sat in silence, what thoughts came into mind? Whatever thoughts there were, good or bad, they have got to go. Even if you were thinking, what a wonderful Satsang, that has got to go. All thoughts must go. Your wonderful Satsang will not bring you realization. Emptiness will.
Ask yourself who you are. If you believe yourself to be human, you will experience human happiness and sadness. You can never know the self with this belief. It has nothing to do with your human goodness. Some people say they never had a bad day in their life. They are stuck in their goodness. You have to go beyond all understanding, beyond conceptual thinking, beyond anything known to man--to silence. Everything leads to silence. In silence, you experience pure awareness. In silence, you experience bliss. It is in silence that you are. You are not anything that you can describe. You have become the pure Godhead. You have wakened.
