If you want to be surrounded by Souls, become identified with your Soul. It takes one to know one!

Information is just bits of data. Knowledge is putting them together. Wisdom is transcending them.

When you see the beloved all around you, everyone is family and everywhere is love.

Thoughts are going by like a river; awareness simply is.

Let the clock and the earth do their own thing... Let the comings and goings of life continue... But YOU stay HERE and NOW. This exercise is to bring you to the Eternal Present where it all is.

Along with faith comes the requirement for dogged persistence. At first meditation may bring you mild highs or some relief from suffering. But there may come a time - just as there does in the development of any skill - when there will be a plateau. You may be bored, discouraged, or even negative and cynical. This is when you will need not only faith, but persistence.

We are all affecting the world every moment, whether we mean to or not. Our actions and states of mind matter, because we are so deeply interconnected with one another.
