Don't judge or analyze what you observe. Watch the thought, feel the emotion, observe the reaction. Don't make a personal problem out of them. You will then feel something more powerful than any of those things that you observe: the still, observing presence itself behind the content of your mind, the silent watcher.

You are not IN the universe, you ARE the universe, an intrinsic part of it. Ultimately you are not a person, but a focal point where the universe is becoming conscious of itself. What an amazing miracle.

I am the hole on the flute that Gods breath flows through.

It's harder for me, never having brought up a child, to enter the universe of the child.

If you don't mind being unhappy, what happens to the unhappiness?

Important thing to realize is the world is not here to make me happy. When you don't demand that the situation, or place, or person should make you happy, then actually the situation, place, or person is quite satisfying.

Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness.
