How Do You Know?
Your true state cannot be known through mental evaluation - only through the silence of pure Awareness, which is already complete, free, and worthy.
That’s why I keep saying that the only determinant of good and bad, and beZer and worse, and what to do and what not to do - is God Itself. Okay, this part I don’t want to be saying for 12 years. You all beZer get it now. [chuckles] How to ensure that you’re following God’s will?

How to ensure that you’re following God’s will?
What I am is apparent. What I am is here.
Yes, so that’s when you’re being intuiHve. You’re following your Heart, yes. And then? If God’s will, if God’s Light is unfolding by itself without mental contaminaHon, which only means: “Don’t believe your next thought.” If it’s unfolding in that way, as we’re open and empty, then that is to live in God’s will. That is the only good life. And there will come a point, there may come a point that the Presence also guides you with Heart guidance. So, to follow that unwaveringly – that’s it. And unHl it guides you that way, just be open and empty, and allow the Presence to unfold. If suddenly some visitor came to your house, and the visitor said to you: “I’m going to take care of all your decision-making from now on. You’ve troubled yourself with good and bad, right or wrong for too long. You’re Hred. I will take care of it. I will be your best caretaker, your best secretary, whatever. And I don’t charge any money. I don’t expect anything from you. Nothing. But the only deal is that you can’t do the same job that I’m doing.”
[chuckles]
Would you take that deal or no?
In a heartbeat. [chuckles]
Exactly. So that is what I’m showing you. The Presence within you, the Light within you can and is already taking care of all of this. We never have to trouble ourselves with “this is beZer, this is worse, do this, don’t do this”. And especially, the ‘checker guy’ also – no need to determine: “Am I doing well? Is this progress? Am I really free? Am I not free? Is it happening for me? Am I losing it? Am I ge^ng it?” None of that!
Key Teachings
- The mind's reports about your state (like 'I feel lost' or 'I'm stuck') are just thoughts - they are not true knowledge of what you are
- Only Awareness itself can report truthfully on your condition - ask 'How do you know?' to see through mental evaluation
- Trust the silence of your Heart more than the highest words of your head - let the mind's traffic flow without engaging
