When I look at my life, I see that I wanted to be free of the physical plane, the psychological plane, and when I got free of those I didn't want to go anywhere near them.

What we're seeing "out there" is the projection of where we're at--the projection of the clingings of our minds.

One cultivates spaciousness or awareness which allows you to acknowledge the emotions and see them as part of the human condition. Emotions are like subtle thought forms and they all arise in response to something outside yourself. They are all reactions. You cultivate a quietness in yourself that watches these emotions rising and falling and passing away.

You and I are the force for transformation in the world. We are the consciousness that will define the nature of the reality we are moving into.

Everything in your life is there as a vehicle for your transformation. Use it!
