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

When this delusion of utter separateness underlies and governs whatever I think, say, and do, what kind of world do I create?

All you realy need to do is accept this moment fully. You are then at ease in the here and now and at ease with yourself.

As long as you are unable to access the power of the Now, every emotional pain that you experience leaves behind a residue of pain that lives on in you.

The pain-body wants to survive, just like every other entity in existence, and it can only survive if it gets you to unconsciously identify with it.

Do you really need to mentally label every sense perception and experience? Do you really need to have a reactive like/dislike relationship with life where you are in almost continuous conflict with situations and people? Or is that just a deep-seated mental habit that can be broken? Not by doing anything, but by allowing this moment to be as it is.

Pain is the fuel that lights the flame of our enlightenment
