It is when you just “be” with a problem, rather than keep thinking about it, that the greatest
insight comes. That’s because thinking is a creative process, and being is a state of
awareness.
I don’t quite understand. Help me understand. I thought not being able to think was the
problem. The guy in the white room goes crazy.
I didn’t say he goes crazy. You said that. I said he leaves his mind. He stops creating his
reality, because he has no data.
Now, if he stopped creating his reality for an extended period, that would be one thing. But
what if he did this for only a moment? For a brief period? Would such a “time out” help him or
hurt him?
That’s an interesting question.
Thought, word, and deed are the three levels of creation, yes?

When you are thinking, you are creating. Every thought is a creation.

You can either seek to create a solution, or you can simply become aware of the solution that

Once more? For those of us who are slow, could You give me that once more?
None of you is slow! But some of you are using a very slow method of creation. You are
trying to create by thinking. This can be done, as we have shown. But now I’m telling you
something new. Thinking is the slowest method of creation.
Remember, your mind must have data to create. Your being needs no data at all. That is
because data is the illusion. It is what you are making up, rather than what is.
Seek to create from what is, rather than from the illusion. Create from a state of being, rather

I’m trying to stay with this, to understand it, but I think You’re losing me. You’re going too fast.
You cannot find the answer—any answer—rapidly by thinking about it. You have to get out of
your thoughts, leave your thoughts behind, and move into pure being-ness. Have you not
