Ninety-nine percent of the mind is already silent and without linear content. Only one percent is active (as proven by consciousnesscalibration research), but that one percent is the focus of attention. Note by close observation that each thought arises from a silent, clear field of energy that is the source of thinkingness, ideas, and images. It does not arise, as the mind presumes, as a result of linear causation. On the contrary: each thought arises independently of all the others, like flying fish soaring out of the ocean. The ocean is like the silent, primary, a priori condition of the mind and thoughts. The concept that they are somehow caused or meaningfully correlated is actually a superimposed afterthought. Each flying fish arises independently of the others out of a primordial stillness.
