Wisdom comes with the ability to be still. Just look and listen. No more is needed.

Negative states of mind, such as anger, resentment, fear, envy, and jealousy, are products of the ego.

Allow whatever this moment contains. No matter what event or happening or situation, say 'yes' to it. Allow it to be.

Thinking, or more precisely identification with thinking, gives rise to and maintains the ego, which, in our Western society in particular, is out of control. It believes it is real and tries hard to maintain its supremacy. Negative states of mind, such as anger, resentment, fear, envy, and jealousy, are products of the ego.

It's interesting that stepping out of thought was actually triggered by a thought.

Life is an adventure, it's not a package tour.

If spacious stillness is missing, the relationship will be dominated by the mind and can easily be taken over by problems and conflict. If stillness is there, it can contain anything.
