Ego is a ghost who is terrified of dying

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

Don't try and save yourself. The self that is trying to be saved is not you.

There is a presence, a silence, a stillness which is here by itself. There is no doer of it, no creator of this stillness. It is simply here in you, with you. It is the fragrance of your own self. There is nothing to do about this, it is naturally present. This fragrance of peace, this spaciousness, it is the fragrance of your own being.

If you do not trust life to unfold, the mind takes over and it becomes a game of strategy, motivated by anxiety. This mistrust is unfair. Life has given us so much, and yet we do not trust it.

To be free from false identity and the hypnosis of conditioning is the biggest smile and joy you are going to feel in your life.

You are the light of consciousness and also the witness of this light. You are pure awareness.
