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

Where there is anger, there is always pain underneath.

Just as without silence there could be no sound, you would not exist without the vital formless dimension that is the essence of who you are.

Awareness is the power that is concealed within the present moment. This is why we may also call it Presence.

The more you make your thoughts and beliefs into your identity, the more cut off you are from the spiritual dimension within yourself.

You can enjoy the present moment, and you can be aligned with the doing. A different state of consciousness, then, is the foundation for what you do. Presence flows into what you do. Even though what you do may be the same, there is a fundamental difference: The energy that flows into what you do, although it may be high energy, is very peaceful energy. It is not out of alignment with life.

Bring awareness to the many subtle sounds of nature - The rustling of leaves in the wind, Raindrops falling, The humming of an insect, The first birdsong at dawn.
