The pain-body wants to survive, just like every other entity in existence, and it can only survive if it gets you to unconsciously identify with it.

For most people, spiritual awakening is a gradual process. Rarely does it happen all at once. When it does, though, it is usually brought about by intense suffering.

It is through gratitude for the present moment that the spiritual dimension of life opens up.

You find peace not by rearranging the circumstances of your life, but by realizing who you are at the deepest level.

You need no time to open yourself to the power of now and so awaken to who you are beyond name and form and realize that in the depth of your being, you are already complete, whole, one with the timeless essence of all life.

Whenever you step out of the noise of thinking, that is meditation, and a different state of consciousness arises.

Stress means there is something wrong, and you are not aligned with life.
