All the things that truly matter, beauty, love, creativity, joy and inner peace arise from beyond the mind.

Is fear preventing you from taking action? Acknowledge the fear, watch it, take your attention into it, be fully present with it. Doing so cuts the link between the fear and your thinking. Don't let the fear rise up into your mind. Use the power of the Now. Fear cannot prevail against it.

Worry means the mind is controlling you. Worry is always pointless. A solution never comes out of worry.

For spiritual teachers, it is important not to identify with the image people inevitably have of them.

You can't argue with what is.... Well, you can, but if you do, you suffer.

Beyond the beauty of external forms, there is more here: something that cannot be named, something ineffable, some deep, inner, holy essence. Whenever and wherever there is beauty, this inner essence shines through somehow. It only reveals itself to you when you are present.

If your mind is still... You can sense the peace that emanates from the earth.
