The call was to be, without thinking

The call was to be, without thinking — to allow the parade of insane ideas and feelings to pass by without validating or reacting to them [thinking about them]. The call was to come home to Peace without regarding them, understanding that all the circumstances and predicaments one’s imagination introduces must be met with the question: “Can peace heal this?”

Even though the problem [thinking] seems too great for peace to heal — even though it seems to be the thing that destroys peace with great disturbing vitality — the answer is: “Yes, peace can heal this dilemma, this confusion, this insanity!”

By shutting up! By silencing emotional incoherence!

It is through silence that

you engage in the holy instant,

and it is through engaging in the holy instant

that you silence emotional incoherence!
