Music is a wonderful way of getting in touch with the stillness within.
Feel the aliveness within your body. That anchors you in the now.
Get the inside right, and the outside will take care of itself.
Forgive yourself for not being at peace.
When you can no longer feel the life that you are, you are likely to try to fill up your life with things.
Learn from nature. See how everything gets accomplished and how the miracle of life unfolds without dissatisfaction or unhappiness.
True change happens within, not without.
If the price of peace were a lowering of your consciousness, and the price of stillness a lack of vitality and alertness, then they would not be worth having.
Awareness and ego cannot coexist.
The pain-body wants to survive, just like every other entity in existence, and it can only survive if it gets you to unconsciously identify with it.
You become most powerful in whatever you do if the action is performed for its own sake rather than as a means to protect, enhance, or conform to your role identity.
Life is your deepest inner Being. It is already whole, complete, perfect.
My sense of identity broke down and was replaced by something that is very hard to put into words. Awareness, Consciousness.
To be aware of little, quiet things, you need to be quiet inside. A high degree of alertness is required. Be still. Look. Listen. Be present.
If you completely accept something, it changes. If you completely accept it, it shifts.
The mind left to itself creates monstrosities, and not only in art galleries. Look at our urban landscapes and industrial wastelands. No civilization has ever produced so much ugliness.
Death is not the opposite of life. Life has no opposite. Death is the opposite of birth.
The recognition of the false is already the arising of the real.
You don’t ‘have’ a life, you ‘are’ life. The One Life, the one consciousness that pervades the entire universe and takes temporary form to experience itself as a stone or blade of grass, as an animal, a person, a star or a galaxy.
You have to be still for a moment to even notice that there is silence outside.
