Sal: 156 B – Essential Mind and True Intelligence
A written piece in place of a recording: distinguishes thought-filled mind from “essential mind,” which is empty, pure and synonymous with knowing/being. That, not IQ or knowledge, is the true intelligence: “I am life itself.”

Contrasts the way of negating with the way of affirming — “the big yes,” I knowing I. Fighting thoughts only gives them more juice; simply don’t mind the mind, since ever-changing thoughts can never be the eternal I.
