Just Be Curious About the Unknown Potentials of Consciousness
It is not useful to try to silence the mind. Instead, become curious about how much you could expand your consciousness, how much more intelligence you could activate, and what new wisdom you could download. Or perhaps you might wonder how it feels to encounter the Presence of God. Or you might want to know the experience of divine grace, or becoming divinized. Any of these interests will lead you beyond thought to the Stillness of the Absolute.

Don’t Be Blind to the Need for a Vision Quest
