What is the relationship between awareness and thinking? Awareness is the space in which thoughts exist when that space has become conscious of itself.

When you recognize this, you also realize that you are now free to give up this futile conflict, this inner state of war.

Man made God in his own image.

The ego is a false sense based on mental concepts. It is identification with the body and the mind-primarily identification with thought form.

When your sense of self is no longer tied to thought, is no longer conceptual, there is a depth of feeling, of sensing, of compassion, of loving, that was not there when you were trapped in mental concepts. You are that depth.

Forgive yourself for not being at peace.

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.
