Here is a new spiritual practice for you: don't take your thoughts too seriously.

The fires of suffering become the light of consciousness.

Sometimes letting things go is an act of far greater power than defending or hanging on.

"Spiritual teacher" of course is not an identity. "Spiritual teacher" is a function. Somebody comes, the teaching happens. Somebody leaves, there's no spiritual teacher left.

By watching the mechanics of the mind, you step out of its resistance patterns, and you can then allow the present moment to be.

Stress is wanting something to be the way it isn't.

When you lose touch with inner stillness, you lose touch with yourself. When you lose touch with yourself, you lose yourself in the world. Your innermost sense of self, of who you are, is inseparable from stillness. This is the I Am that is deeper than name and form.
