Everything is honoured, but nothing matters.

The evolutionary impulse is towards disidentification from thinking and the arising of awareness or presence, but the gravitational pull of the old consciousness, or rather unconsciousness, is still quite heavy. It's been around for thousands of years.

Whenever you deeply accept this moment as it is - no matter what form it takes - you are still, you are at peace.

I had been anxious and depressed for years and suddenly I was deeply at peace.

Be aware of your breathing as often as you are able, whenever you remember. Do that for one year, and it will be powerfully transformative. And it's free.

So really what it comes down to, it's God. Wherever you look, it's God appearing as this, that, that...and what you really love and appreciate in each form is the divine formless out of which each form comes. But to be able to sense that you have to sense it in yourself first. And that is seeing the beauty in everything, that's really what it means.

When you can no longer feel the life that you are, you are likely to try to fill up your life with things.
