Rather than being your thoughts and emotions, be the awareness behind them.

Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness.

I believe from what I can see there is a good chance the shift will happen in humanity before it is too late.

Let's say you have to catch a plane, and you are packing your suitcase and moving fast. Most people would call that stress. Most people live stressed like that all the time.

The moment you become aware of the silence, you also have become silent.

When great loss happens - deaths close to you or your own approaching death - this is an opportunity for stepping completely out of identification with form and realizing the essence of who you are, or that the essence of anyone who is suffering or dying is beyond death.

You cannot be both unhappy, and fully present in the Now.
