Learn to watch your drama unfold while at the same time knowing you are more than your drama.

Truth is scary. Truth has bad breath at times

So your first job is to work on yourself. The greatest thing you can do for another human being is to get your own house in order and find your true spiritual heart.

If you want oneness in society, you have to teach people to go inside instead of going outside, because if they want peace, they need to find it within.

All you can do for another person is be an environment in which if they wanted to come up for air, they could.

After meditating for some years, I began to see the patterns of my own behavior. As you quiet your mind, you begin to see the nature of your own resistance more clearly, struggles, inner dialogues, the way in which you procrastinate and develop passive resistance against life. As you cultivate the witness, things change. You don't have to change them. Things just change.

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.
