The nature of illusion is that, when you see through it, it disappears.

All the ups and downs are grace in different wrappings, sent to refine consciousness. Say thanks to them all.

You are not merely the body; you are 100% Pure Being. But you must find this out for yourself. It must become your own discovery, happening in your innermost being.

The greatest step towards a life of happiness and simplicity is to let go. Trust in the power that is already taking care of you spontaneously without effort.
