"The secret for a heavenly existence is to learn how to discontinue
yourself from moment to moment. This means that you are mentally
vigilant at all times so that you can see with your spiritual eye
every thought as it enters your mind and then be very careful that
that thought does not form an I, a self, a me, a mine.
This in turn means that when the thought comes up, any thought what-
ever out of the tens of thousands that go through your mind a day,
that every thought is going to be recognized as it appears and then
you're to let the thought do what it’s naturally intended to do,
which is to appear before your inner vision and then pass away
from your mind and disappear."
