When you observe yourself reacting to what are minor things in your life, you will find that the mechanism is the same as when major things seem to go wrong in your life and there is upset.

When you complain, you make yourself a victim. When you speak out, you are in power.

Thinking, or more precisely identification with thinking, gives rise to and maintains the ego, which, in our Western society in particular, is out of control. It believes it is real and tries hard to maintain its supremacy. Negative states of mind, such as anger, resentment, fear, envy, and jealousy, are products of the ego.

Every time you create a gap in the stream of mind, the light of your consciousness grows stronger

Allow whatever this moment contains. No matter what event or happening or situation, say 'yes' to it. Allow it to be.

All negativity is caused by an accumulation of psychological time and denial of the present. Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry - all forms of fear - are caused by too much future, and not enough presence. Guilt, regret, resentment, grievances, sadness, bitterness, and all forms of nonforgiveness are caused by too much past, and not enough presence.

God is beyond all the forms of life, but also indwells every form of life as their essence. God is both beyond and within.
