Belief in Thought Supposes That a Separate Entity Exists - 1st July 2016

Because what she said is that to go with my interpretation is actually an avoidance from giving it to you. This is very, very beautiful, you see. When we go with our interpretation of something, our belief about something, it is in our identity; it's not surrender, you see. So surrender means that we don't have any concept of what is. We do not have any interpretation of what is. We don't have a judgment about what is. What is, just is.

So when we buy our own ideas, then it is not surrendered at the Master's feet, you see; which goes very well with what you were just talking about as well. This is very good. This is the thing about this—this is why the pointer is: don't believe even a thought. Because in our belief in our thought, we are picking up our individuality.

Why do I emphasize on this point so much? It is not because what the thought might be reporting in terms of the appearance is wrong, you see. It's not because of that. It is because what is presumed because of it is that you exist as a separate entity. All other entities—the one that needs these thoughts—does not actually exist. And anytime we go with our own concepts and beliefs, interpretations and judgments, then we have shifted away from the surrender position and we have said that 'this is mine; this thought is mine; it is meaningful to me.' The 'me' is just a presumed idea.
