Can you use the rational mind to transcend itself?

As long as you have certain desires about how it ought to be you can't see how it is.

The universe is made up of experiences that are designed to burn out your attachment, your clinging, to pleasure, to pain, to fear, to all of it. And as long as there is a place where you’re vulnerable, the universe will find a way to confront you with it.

I think the game is to bear the unbearable with a giggle. With your heart breaking. And then do what you do.

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

The greatest thing you can do for another being is to provide the unconditional love that comes from making contact with that place in them that is beyond conditions, which is just pure consciousness, pure essence. That is, once we acknowledge each other as existing, just being here, just being, then each of us is free to change optimally. If I can just love you because here we are, then you are free to grow as you need to grow.

Working on our own consciousness is the most important thing that we are doing at any moment, and being love is a supreme creative act.
