Just because you are innocent does not mean that others cannot harm you. History teaches us that lesson.

If you drain others energy a lot, you don't want to see this because you do it yourself; but remember, it's real easy to manipulate a manipulator.

When we lack etiquette, we trash things. We trash each other. We trash the environment. We lose sight of the value of things. We suffer alienation when our spirit is disconnected from our physical awareness.

The self plays among the waves of existence. It surfaces, it comes up for a while, and then it disappears again.

You're not listening to the Zen master, what he is saying outwardly, but even more importantly...what he is saying inwardly.

If we're distracted from the continual flow of perfect mind that we're in, suddenly everything configures, everything solidifies. Suddenly a shape appears out of flux, a world appears, karmas appear, pasts, futures, presents, time structures, ying and yang appear.

Your soul wants experience. It wants the world. You're a human - and your eternal. The two are the same.
