To be free of time is to be free of the psychological need of past for your identity and future for your fulfillment

There is a wonderful ancient Sufi saying which I'm going to paraphrase slightly. It says, 'When the heart weeps for what it has lost,' in this case 'heart' means 'ego,' 'when the heart weeps for what it has lost, the spirit rejoices for what it has found.'

Use whatever challenge comes into your life as a kind of fuel for the flame of consciousness. That is done through surrender to what is. Some people may need more of that than others. If you choose presence in your daily life you may not need the drastic challenges.

Accept the present moment and find the perfection that is deeper than any form and untouched by time.

Surrender is the simple but profound wisdom of yielding to rather than opposing the flow of life.

Seek out a tree and let it teach you stillness.

Pain can only feed on pain. Pain cannot feed on joy. It finds it quite indigestible.
