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.

Many people in this world are still so identified with every thought that arises in their head. There is not the slightest space of awareness there.

Where there is anger, there is always pain underneath.

When there is spiritual awakening, you awaken into the fullness, the aliveness, and also the sacredness of now. You were absent, asleep, and now you are present, awake.

Just as without silence there could be no sound, you would not exist without the vital formless dimension that is the essence of who you are.

Thought subsides when you pet your dog or you have a purring cat on your chest. Even just watching an animal can take you out of your mind. It is more deeply connected with the source of life than most humans, and that rootedness in Being transmits itself to you. Millions of people who otherwise would be completely lost in the conceptual reality of their mind are kept sane by living with an animal.

The sun never sets. It is only an appearance due to the observer's limited perspective. And yet, what a sublime illusion it is.
