Kevin's Koans
About this audiobook
Live in Silence
• Kevin’s Koans is about living in silence so that you might rely on energy rather than thinking.
• This book asks many questions that challenge you to be aware of yourself.
• It asks many questions that challenge what and whom you think you are.
• It also asks many questions that challenge you to discover and live in reality rather than in your mental and verbal delusions, dreams, and illusions.
Prove It
• This book will only help you if you test it and prove it to yourself.
• Information and insight can be helpful, but they are insufficient on their own.
• You must practice silent introspection and test the included processes and solutions.
• Meditation, contemplation, and prayer are recommended to assist your awareness and freedom from thinking.
Solutions
• Some suggested solutions include breaking your brain, freeing your mind, having no mind, living beyond the noise of thinking, living in silence, relying on energy for control and guidance instead of thinking, and using profound doubt to reach silence.
• You can experience ego death by a thousand cuts if you follow the koans.
Discover Yourself
• We are convinced that if you discover the true nature of your being and return to it, nearly all of your life problems will vanish.
• Therefore, we often focus on identifying and understanding your true vessel-nature.
• Your vessel-nature naturally relies on energy rather than on thinking.
