To do everything in a sacred manner means to do everything fully in the state of presence.

Whenever you deeply accept this moment as it is - no matter what form it takes - you are still, you are at peace.

The little saying, 'Be still and know that I Am God' ... contains the entire wisdom of religion in those few words.

When you become comfortable with uncertainty, infinite possibilities open up in your life. It means fear is no longer a dominant factor in what you do and no longer prevents you from taking action to initiate change. The Roman philosopher Tacitus rightly observed that 'the desire for safety stands against every great and noble enterprise.' If uncertainty is unacceptable to you, it turns into fear. If it is perfectly acceptable, it turns into aliveness, alertness and creativity.

Make it a habit to ask yourself: What's going on inside me at this moment? That question will point you in the right direction. But don't analyze, just watch. Focus your attention within. Feel the energy of the emotion. If there is no emotion present, take your attention more deeply into the inner energy field of your body. It is the doorway into Being.

In whatever way change comes, the important thing is to take responsibility for this moment. Then, life becomes cooperative.

To recognize one's own insanity is, of course, the arising of sanity, the beginning of healing and transcendence.
