Life has no opposite. The opposite of death is birth. Life is eternal.

When the mind loses its density, you become translucent, like the flower. Spirit - the formless - shines through you into the world.

Accepting means you allow yourself to feel whatever it is you are feeling at that moment. It is part of the isness of the Now. You can't argue with what is. Well, you can, but if you do, you suffer.

Knowing yourself is to be rooted in Being, instead of lost in your mind.

Some people are called upon to do great things externally in this world by creating some new structure that reflects their awakening consciousness. Other people are not called to go out into the world and create great big things externally. Their purpose is to let consciousness flow into whatever they do - to do everything in a sacred manner.

Whenever you meet anybody, it is a holy encounter. The primary event is the energy field of presence between you and the other human being that arises. You enjoy it. There is deep joy in the meeting.

Seek out a tree and let it teach you stillness.
