When you begin to create an inner poise, you are always connected to this center…it’s an umbilical cord that the more you are aware of it, you more you practice living from that center, the more you are able to conduct yourself in your daily life from that center. The outer is slowly unnoticeably, becoming your inner. The gap is closing. The concentric circles of becoming are narrowing as the movement is now directed not outside of you but inside of you.

I would invite you to understand that you are the world, so, if you don’t like what’s going on in the world, then, at least, you know where to start.

There is very little known about the realm of consciousness and like all truths, will be greatly contested. The idea that something greater could be taking place is foreign to the human mind.

The first way is that transformation chooses you and when that happens, there’s nothing you can do about it. Now, the second way transformation occurs is through personal choice and the problem with personal choice is that you have time and you can choose when to start and stop.

You can’t solve the problem because you don’t know what the problem is. Make as many positive changes as you can. But truth is going to come from somewhere else.

Developing and training your mind to transcend this divide can require a lot of patience and strength; it requires a lot of humility to see and admit your own stupidity and mental limitations.

The object of your life in the tossing and turning of the daily grind IS reaching the realization that you ARE the joy, not that you just have joy but that you ARE the joy. You ARE the thing from which you have come…and always will be, no matter how you destroy yourself, no matter how you cloak your mind with ignorance and judgment and belief. So, try it on for size, right now, whether you’re driving your car, flying to another city, cleaning the house, exercising.

Maybe you’re like me. Sometimes when I look back, I don’t even recognize that person, myself, so it’s easy for me to look back and shake my head. I don’t know who he was but he apparently didn’t know what he was doing.
