If you find here & now intolerable, you have options: remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it totally.

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.

People always form images of who others are, and they can be inflated images.

Don't think of yourself as having a past, don't think of yourself as having a future. What's left?

Instead of creating expectations of what should or should not be happening, cooperate with the form that this moment takes.Bring a 'yes' to the isness, because it's pointless to argue if it already is.A greater intelligence is available to you when you no longer reject, deny, or 'don't want' what is.

Some people awaken spiritually without ever coming into contact with any meditation technique or any spiritual teaching. They may awaken simply because they can't stand the suffering anymore.

When forms begin to crumble there is always an opportunity for great deepening. By deepening I mean the arising of who you are beyond form.
