The more you talk and think about it ,
the further astray you wander from the truth.

Stop talking and thinking,
and there is nothing you will not be able to know.

To return to the root is to find the meaning,
but to pursue appearances is to miss the source.

At the moment of inner enlightenment
there is a going beyond appearance and emptiness.

The changes that appear to occur in the empty world
we call real only because of our ignorance.

Do not search for the truth;
only cease to cherish opinions.

Do not remain in the dualistic state;
avoid such pursuits carefully.

If there is even a trace
of this and that, of right and wrong,
the Mind-essence will be lost in confusion.

Although all dualities come from the One,
do not be attached even to this One.

When the mind exists undisturbed in the Way,
nothing in the world can offend,

and when a thing can no longer offend,
it ceases to exist in the old way.

When no discriminating thoughts arise,
the old mind ceases to exist.

When thought objects vanish,
the thinking-subject vanishes,
as when the mind vanishes, objects vanish.

Things are objects because of the subject [mind];
the mind [subject] is such because of things [objects].

Understand the relativity of these two
and the basic reality : the unity of emptiness.

In this Emptiness the two are indistinguishable
and each contains in itself the whole world.

If you do not discriminate between coarse and fine
you will not be tempted to prejudice and opinion.

If the eye never sleeps,
all dreams will naturally cease.

If the mind makes no discrimination,
the ten thousand things
are as they are, of single essence.

To understand the mystery of this One-essence
is to be released from all entanglements.

When all things are seen equally
the timeless Self-essence is reached.

No comparisons or analogies are possible
in this causeless, relationless state.

Consider movement stationary
and the stationary in motion,
both movement and rest disappear.

When such dualities cease to exist
Oneness itself cannot exist.

To this ultimate finality
no law or description applies.

For the unified mind in accord with the Way
all self-centered striving ceases.

Doubts and irresolutions vanish
and life in true faith is possible.

With a single stroke we are freed from bondage;
nothing clings to us and we hold to nothing.

All is empty, clear, self-illuminating
with no exertion of the mind’s power.

Here thought, feeling, knowledge, and imagination
are of no value.

In this world of Suchness
there is neither self nor other-than-self.

To come directly into harmony with this reality
just simply say when doubt arises, “Not two.”

In this “not two” nothing is separate,
nothing is excluded.

No matter when or where,
enlightenment means entering this truth.

~ A Course In Miracles

Merely thinking of Oneness is by nature dualistic, and thus not a doorway thereto.

We can only enter the state of Oneness via the portal of selfless, kind deeds.
