In an evolutionary perspective, the rational mind takes a certain distance and no further, & we must be able to transcend it.

We're being trained through our incarnations--trained to seek love, trained to seek light, trained to see the grace in suffering.

In meditation we can watch the itch instead of scratching it.

You are joy, wisdom, peace, compassion, and love

When you get old, everything changes - your body changes, your family changes. You can't do what you've always done, anymore. And, either you can complain about things changing - or you can be content. Instead of complaining, you can say: "Oh, yesss! Look at all this change!" You can welcome it.

The ego is a tool. You don't separate it. It's a tool for the spirit.

Do what you can on this plane to relieve suffering by constantly working on yourself to be an instrument for the cessation of suffering. To me, that's what the emerging game is all about.
