Beyond the mind...

Give up notions, thoughts and intentions.

When they cease, the mind naturally turns

to what is truly beyond the mind –

the infinite consciousness.


Ideation multiplies by itself.

This leads to sorrow, not to happiness.


Do not entertain ideas.


There is no cause for fear

in the destruction of all ideation.

When there is no thought,

notion or ideation ceases.


When thus all notions cease,

there is great peace

and sorrow is destroyed to its very root.

The Seven Steps to Awakening.
