Everybody needs to take some time, in some way, to quiet themselves and really listen to their heart.

Where we tended to be judgmental, we became more judgmental of ourselves in our spiritual practice.

In the crystal of the awakened consciousness, one facet is love.

It is our commitment to wholeness that matters, the willingness to unfold in every deep aspect of our being.

When attachment arises in the place of love, it sees the other as separate; it grasps and needs. Attachment is conditional; it seeks control and it fear loss. Ask your heart if attachment has replaced love. If we speak to our heart, it will always tell us the truth.

When we struggle to change ourselves we, in fact, only continue the patterns of self-judgement and aggression. We keep the war against ourselves alive.

Since death will take us anyway, why live our life in fear? Why not die in our old ways and be free to live?
