The title could also be: The Way to Truth, but because the Truth shall set you Free, it is the end-result that counts.
In part one I told you to observe your thoughts. I compared your thoughts with clouds that block the clear blue sky, which is you. A thought never stays, just like a cloud and a thought is not you, you are the one that thinks the thought. If you have started to observe your thoughts you will have found that most of the thoughts you think today are the same as the thoughts you had yesterday. They do not progress, and you are not [yet] creative enough to think new thoughts.
Now comes the most important part of this lecture: Between two thoughts is a moment of NO-THOUGHT. Just like between breathing in and breathing out there is a moment of no-breathing, so is there a tiny moment between thoughts when you think not. That is the GAP. You shall have found that observing your thoughts is possible for a moment or so, but soon after, you will be living again without giving it attention. That does not matter, go back as soon as you notice it. To help the process very much, also start to observe how you walk, how you sit, how you talk, how you read this letter. When you can observe your breathing you almost have it made, you are fast getting closer to Who You Really Are. The strange fact is also that the more you observe yourself, the clearer other people become. You can know others only after you found out who you are yourself. While you observe your inhaling and exhaling, you cannot at the same time have disturbing thoughts. You are then not exactly in the gap, but you come close. And because you are traveling inside yourself, wisdom can come in. Yoga can lead to the gap, but yoga is not needed to reach there. When you notice the gap between thoughts, stay there. That is not easy in the beginning, but try anyhow. It is this moment of
NO-THOUGHT that we started out to observe our thinking for. When you think not, Wisdom enters. That’s how easy it is. To stop thinking though may take quiet a while for you to reach.
Wisdom has nothing to do with knowledge, it cannot be learned. It can be invited, a place must be made for it. It comes to fill the Gap, that is the Void, the Emptiness between thoughts. Knowledge you can gather from school, from books, from the library, from the internet. You can become a professor and still not have wisdom. Wisdom comes from the Unified Field, from God if you want to call it that. It is Omnipresent, it knows All, it is the Truth, it transcends knowledge. To finish this part two of the Way to Freedom, I’ll tell you why you need an empty mind in order for Wisdom to enter.
I need an Empty Space on this page of this newspaper in order to get this printed, you need an Empty Stomach in order to eat, and you need an Empty Mind in order to let Wisdom enter. As long as your mind is full of thoughts, of lamentations, of prayers, of anger, of wishes, there is no place for wisdom. Church and State want you to stay away from Wisdom, because the sage needs them not. That is why you shall never learn this in school or church.
Recap: first observe your thoughts, then discover the gap, and stay there. That’s all there is to it. In Wisdom you find Truth, which leads to Freedom. In Wisdom you find yourself.
Now look in the mirror and say: I love you.
