Now take all these qualities together: order, balance, evolution and intelligence. What you have is a description of love. It's not the popular ideal, it is the wizard's love - the force that upholds life and nurtures it.

I'm not recommending that you think positive thoughts. It's more about experiencing more emotions and feelings that make you feel more connected with the world.

Only intimacy with the self will bring about true healing.

An ancient Vedic aphorism says, "Infinite flexibility is the secret to immortality." When we cultivate flexibility in or consciousness, we renew ourselves in every moment and reverse the aging process.

Life is the coexistence of all opposite values. Joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain, up and down, hot and cold, here and there, light and darkness, birth and death. All experience is by contrast, and one would be meaningless without the other.

If we stop thinking of ourselves and only of helping others, you will start to see a dramatic improvement in the suffering we are all going through.

The present moment is the still point around which the universe arises and subsides, only to be reborn again, fresh as a new born child.
