What you’ll find is that the only thing you really want from life is to feel enthusiasm, joy, and love. If you can feel that all the time, then who cares what happens outside?
You are not your heart. You are the experiencer of your heart.
What it means to live life is to experience the moment that is passing through you, and then experience the next moment, and then the next.
Let your spiritual path become the willingness to let whatever happens make it through you, rather than carrying it into the next moment. That doesn’t mean you don’t deal with what happens. You’re welcome to deal with it, but first let the energy make it through you. If you don’t, you will not actually be dealing with the current event, you will be dealing with your own blocked energies from the past.
Your heart is an instrument made of extremely subtle energy that few people come to appreciate.
Consciousness is neither pure nor impure; it has no qualities. It’s just there, aware that it’s aware.
Be the answer, and everything will change. Part II.
Every single time you relax and release, a piece of the pain leaves forever.
No matter what happens, just enjoy the life that comes to you.
To begin with, you have to realize that you really only have one choice in this life, and it’s not about your career, whom you want to marry, or whether you want to seek God. People tend to burden themselves with so many choices. But, in the end, you can throw it all away and just make one basic, underlying decision: Do you want to be happy, or do you not want to be happy?
You have to understand that it is your attempt to get special experiences from life that makes you miss the actual experience of life. Life is not something you get; it’s something you experience.
So you contemplate this, and you realize that never in your life have you asked yourself that question and really meant it. Who am I?
It’s not what you’re doing; it’s how much of you is doing it.
What does it feel like to identify more with Spirit than with form? You used to walk around feeling anxiety and tension; now you walk around feeling love. You just feel love for no reason. Your backdrop is love. Your backdrop is openness, beauty, and appreciation. You don’t have to make yourself feel that way; that is how Spirit feels.
We all know that true love doesn’t judge. Love sees nothing but beauty in its beloved. There is no impurity. There is no possibility of impurity. No matter what it beholds, it’s all beautiful. That is how true love sees. That is what it looks like through the eyes of love.
Because I had inwardly surrendered each step of the way, no scars were left of my psyche. It had been like writing on water – the impressions only lasted while the events were actually taking place.
If you don’t want it, let it go.
In order to grow, you must give up the struggle to remain the same, and learn to embrace change at all times.
A wise person remains centered enough to let go every time the energy shifts into a defensive mode.
Getting involved in the darkness does not dispel darkness; it feeds it. Don’t even turn toward it.
