You can be effective in this world without stress.

There are many things that are still uncertain and that probably nobody knows, because so many factors determine what form the transformation of consciousness on our planet takes.

Nothing that you plan is going to work out. Everything is going to be totally different than the way you expected. And things will constantly challenge you. Wherever you look the world is not as solid it seems to be.

You cannot find yourself by going into the past. You can find yourself by coming into the present.

To listen to the silence, wherever you are, is an easy and direct way of becoming present.

The evolutionary impulse is towards disidentification from thinking and the arising of awareness or presence, but the gravitational pull of the old consciousness, or rather unconsciousness, is still quite heavy. It's been around for thousands of years.

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.
