We Are Connected

Just speak, do, act, make mistakes, correct them, go on.
You are connected. We are connected.
That's the fundamental nature of our being.
Let our practices, let our life emerge from that connection.

William Martin

No Argument

Cause and effect get mixed up. 
They must be in their proper alignment.
The assumption is that I am connected.
I may not feel it all the time, but when
I operate from that assumption and then
let my practices, whether it's Qigong
or meditation or prayer or service
or simply being and talking with people,
emerge from the understanding that
I am connected rather than trying to connect,
everything flows the way it's supposed to.
Argument never, ever enters into the question.

William Martin

An Expression of Connection

Assume that divinity flows
in every atom of your being. 
Assume you are connected.
Assume you are part of God,
the Tao, the Divine Source.
Then let your spiritual and
religious practices emerge from that,
be an expression of that connection
rather than a means to achieve
that connection.

William Martin

What is Love?

Love is wanting others
to be happy.

Dalai Lama

Lost Touch

We are most lost and feel most abandoned when
we have lost touch with our own souls.

Michael Meade

Let It Be What It Is

Life knows that the present moment is fabulous,
it is beautiful, it is perfect. Just let it be what it is
and be in awe that I exist at all and then I'm gone.

Wow! Wasn't that a ride!

The Most Important Relationships

I am a true believer that the most important relationships
we have are the ones that are being carried out inside
of our own head.
