Everything is Projection

"This Universe, my friends,
is an optical illusion." ~ Robert Adams

"Everything in this universe, person, place or thing, everything, your body, your thoughts, creation, God, everything you can think about...
(SD: Each other?)
...yes, everything, and I mean everything, is a projection of your mind. If you really understand this, how can you have a problem? But you may say, "Well, my rent's due on the first and I don't have any money, so how can this help me?" You would be amazed at what it does for you. Do the trees lack for leaves? Do the flowers fail to bloom?

If you could realize the truth, that everything is an emanation of your mind, you would become yourself, and your Self is omnipresence. It includes everything for the survival of your body. Think about that.Your body comes from your mind. But as long as you believe your body is your-self, and you understand that it comes out of your mind, it will be provided for, just like leaves are provided for the trunk of the tree. So this teaching is quite predictable and it can be used to improve your human-hood. Not by trying to improve your human-hood directly, that's where you've got problems, but by forgetting about your human-hood and realizing everything is a mental projection.

Again what happens? When you realize that the whole universe is a manifestation of your mind you become omnipresence. And in the omnipresence is contained all of your needs, and all of your needs are met from within. But, when you start worrying or thinking about it, you spoil it. Then you have to do human things to take care of you. But if you leave the human-hood alone, and go back to the understanding that it's all in your mind, you automatically let go of your mind, and the Self takes over, bringing the right people into your life, the right situation, the right address.

Remember again, your body came to this earth because of karma. And it's going to go through whatever is has to go through. But you've got absolutely nothing to do with that because you are not your body. But if you think about it you spoil it. Subsequently, allow your body to do whatever it came here to do. Do not interfere. Do not fight. Simply observe. Do not react. You will be okay."

-- Robert Adams, The Collected Works of Robert Adams
"Very soon after meeting Robert, he told me that even his wife of forty years thought he was strange. She truly believed that Robert was from another planet, and some day a flying saucer was going to land and take him away to his home. Years later, I joked about it with her, and she said, "Yes, I believe that!" Maybe, in a way, so did I. Robert was a remarkable and strange, strange man.

He once joked that in order to be taken seriously when getting a loan at a bank, he put on a suit and "acted normally." He said they kicked him out anyway. Robert's "normal" would be considered bizarre for most. Imagine, not being a catatonic and sitting hours in a chair looking out into his backyard, not blinking an eyelash, for hours.

Rarely did anyone ask him about his previous life at Satsang. Mostly even then he avoided questions about his life and experiences, especially during the early years when I knew him, before he gained wide fame as a teacher. Infrequently though, he would reveal some incident about his past, such as his meeting with Ramana, his awakening experience, or some jobs he had in the past."
