The Wisdom of Robert Adams #14

I received a call from a lady in Santa Cruse the other day and she started to tell me about her marital problems, so I stopped her. I told her I didn’t want to hear anything about any marital problems.

Does she know who she is? That’s all I care about. If she knows who she is, then she goes beyond marital problems. She goes beyond concepts, longings, wants, desires. She’ll be safe.

For once you lift yourself up nothing can touch you again. The world no longer has any power over you. The world only has power over you when you identify yourself as a body. If you identify yourself as a body, then the world becomes real, objects become real, situations become real, the universe becomes real, God becomes real, everything becomes real and you live in duality. So one day you’re suffering, the next day you’re happy. Happiness leads to suffering, suffering leads to happiness.

Of course, that’s human happiness I’m talking about, human suffering. But as soon as you learn to go beyond that, and again that happens by living spontaneously, all suffering ceases. After all, for who is the suffering? For the one who identifies with the thoughts.

May God bless and protect you and…

May you always be

Healthy, Happy

Safe and Comfortable
