It is not necessary to do things in a state of anxiety or anguish. That is not the way to be aligned with life.

Life is your deepest inner Being. It is already whole, complete, perfect.

If you find here & now intolerable, you have options: remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it totally.

Suffering is necessary until you realize it is unnecessary.

If I cannot live with myself, there must be two of me: the 'I' and the 'self' that 'I' cannot live with. Maybe, I thought, only one of them is real.

If spacious stillness is missing, the relationship will be dominated by the mind and can easily be taken over by problems and conflict. If stillness is there, it can contain anything.

The human condition: lost in thought.
