The story of the Zen Master whose only response was always "Is that so?" shows the good that comes through inner nonresistance to events, that is to say, being at one with what happens. The story of the man whose comment was invariably a laconic "Maybe" illustrates the wisdom of nonjudgment, and the story of the ring points to the fact of impermanence which, when recognized, leads to nonattachment. Nonresistance, nonjudgement, and nonattachment are the three aspects of true freedom and enlightened living.

Whatever you accept completely will take you to peace, including the acceptance that you cannot accept, that you are in resistance.

You can't wait for the end of your problems for you to be present. It has to be done whereever you are - which is now

Space is a unifying field of awareness in which you meet the other person without the separative barriers created by conceptual thinking. And now the other person is no longer 'other.' In that space, you are joined together as one awareness, one consciousness.

When the basis for your actions is inner alignment with the present moment, your actions become empowered by the intelligence of life itself.

When you are not honoring the present moment by allowing it to be, you are creating drama.

The outer purpose belongs to the horizontal dimension of space and time; the inner purpose concerns a deepening of your Being in the vertical dimension of the timeless Now.
