Robert Adams
I'm dedicating this thread to Robert Adams (neo-Advaita teacher).
Will share some of the core teachings of Sri Robert Adams here 
Change no one.
Change nothing.
React to no one, react to nothing.
Do not live in the past and do not worry about the future.
Stay in the eternal now, where all is well.
After all you are me and I am you.
There's no difference.
Do not react to the world.
Do not even react to your own body.
Do not even react to your own thoughts.
Learn to become the witness.
Learn to be quiet.

It's in the silence that your problems just dissolve. Try it. It really works.

These are not (his) mere thoughts, these are the teachings of Advaita Vedanta propagated by Sri Shankara and Sri Ramana Maharshi.
Non-reaction means - not acting automatically....and becoming a watcher of your mind, emotions and actions..  |

And as Ramana Maharshi says, the mind is just one thought at a time. Prevent thoughts from arising, stop giving energy to your thoughts and they will fade away. Knowledge of the Self arises when the mind is absent.
Peace. |

So true 
The direct and simple nature of Sri Ramana's words has stood the test of time and continue to change lives on a daily basis.
This teaching of Ramana is close to my heart:-
The wave said to the sea: "Could I be like you?
The sea replied: It's easy...
just settle down.  |

Well, after 12 years of practicing Thought Control...
I can attest to this being true.
I hardly remember the mischief my thoughts used to do!
In Christian speak...'the devil gets tired of playing with a person that he can't bother'. 
Just a cute story...I have a gorgeous Ramana book that I pull out on my shelf so I can see his face all the time.
One time I just glanced at his face and suddenly was given another one of my 'moments'...except this
altered state lasted 2 hours of being 'struck' with an awesome realization...my dog even knew, "Um...you're different..."
Whew. I love when that happens.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.

What an amazing and profoundly beautiful experience Master's grace
I had a vision of Ramana in my dream and since then everything changed. |

Wow awesome to hear. Reminds me of a similar story of a disciple of Ramana. He accidentally touched Ramana and he was left in a state of pure bliss for 15 minutes. He was just standing there. when he came to, others had left the room and he was alone :-D |

That reminds me of a time a buddy & I snuck into an apartment complex's hot tub. We were a bit stoned and these 2 cute girls came and we had a nice conversation. They left and we were just sitting there in silent tranquility; just soaking up a wonderful evening and I felt myself "expand" out of my body, and I had a feeling my buddy felt something too. I asked him later if he did and he said, "Yeah, for a moment I looked over at you understood why you do everything you do."
