There is, quite literally, nothing to understand.
When we’re in our true being, the purpose of life is to feel that every moment is the purpose.
The Way of Liberation is not a belief system; it is something to be put into practice.
The intricacies of spiritual philosophy and theologies are just a thought within Emptiness.
Love moves without an agenda. It just moves because that is its nature to move.
True meditation has no direction or goal. It is pure wordless surrender, pure silent prayer.
As soon as the mind pulls out an agenda and decides what needs to change, that’s unreality. Life doesn’t need to decide who’s right and who’s wrong. Life doesn’t need to know the “right” way to go because it’s going there anyway.
Thoughts in your head are really no different than the sound of a bird outside. It is just that you decide that they are more or less relevant.
When emptiness is still, that is eternity. When it moves, that is love.
The door to God is the insecurity of not knowing anything. Bear the grace of that uncertainty and all wisdom will be yours.
All we really want in the end is to be connected once again with the Truth of our being, to realize what it is that wears this mask of self.
The truth is that you already are what you are seeking. You are looking for God with his eyes. I suggest you ask, “What’s ultimately behind this set of eyes?” Turn around to see what is looking.
There’s something more to life than what we see on the surface.
The silence inside of you is the sound of your knowledge collapsing. Remember, it is you who said, ‘I want to be free.’
There is only consciousness. There is no individual apart from consciousness who is conscious.
The beautiful thing about the truth of being is that it’s so unimaginably immediate.
True sincerity reveals a powerful form of clarity and discernment that is necessary in order to perceive yourself honestly without flinching or being held captive by your conditioned mind’s judgments and defensiveness.
We are birthed into sangha, into sacred community. It is called the world.
Go ahead, climb up onto the velvet top of the highest stakes table. Place yourself as the bet. Look God in the eyes and finally, for once in your life, lose.
Suffering is how Life tells you that you are resisting or misperceiving what is real and true. It is the way Life suggests that you are not in harmony with what is.
