“So, it was you who put me under this spell!” cried David, not seeing the humor in any of it.
“Well, of course. Except it’s not a spell, it’s the truth! I didn’t put you under a spell—I removed it!”

“Not only did he see his own thoughts as objects rising and falling, but he could see the thoughts of others too, which disturbed him. He vowed to no longer ride on crowded subway cars, where the greatest concentration of negative, hateful and suicidal thoughts are to be found.”

“However, ancient scripture suggests that the body-mind is nothing more than a temporary set of clothes for our true identity, which is pure consciousness. It also shows that the scientists have had it all wrong. Consciousness doesn’t reside in the brain; the brain resides in non-dual consciousness—as do all objects.”

“It is hard to know how much Hugh
was actually taking in. Some rare individuals will immediately understand the truth regarding their identity upon hearing about the
Self. Others—ninety-nine percent of us—will need to hear it over and over again until, like a seed provided just the right conditions, the knowledge begins to sprout and reveal its full splendor.”

“I have to agree with you. Truth is a hard sell; always has been. It’s a bit ironic, don’t you think, that man chooses to embrace ignorance, but runs away from the very thing that sets him free?”

“The fact that consciousness is unchanging and always present sets it apart from objects. I asked Hugh if he could name an object that is unchanging and always present. He wrote, SPACE, to which I responded, “According to scientists, space is not a constant and actually has a tendency to bend, flex, and undulate because of gravitational forces. Also, where is space when you’re sleeping?”
