Yet Somewhat Alone

At first you have to be alone by pulling back from people, before you can understand what the game is. Then, finally you see that the game is to be with people, yet always be somewhat alone.

Ram Dass

Equal Pleasure

Awareness is not driven by goals but instead values
the capacity for equal pleasure in all circumstances.

Find the Barriers

Your task is not to seek for love,
but merely to seek and find all
the barriers within yourself that
you have built against it.

Rumi

Being With

To the ego, gains lie without; to the spirit, they are internal, for the ever-present joy of existence is independent of content or form. To the spirit, a sunny day or a rainy day are the same. Awareness enjoys qualities rather than grasping at form. Thus it can enjoy "being with," without having to own or control.

Radiance of Unconditional Love

Much like the rising of the sea level lifts all ships,
so the radiance of unconditional love within a
human heart lifts all of life.

Fran Grace

Dark Night of the Soul

The dark night of the soul is from trying to push the envelope. You're trying to push the unconditional love when you haven't let go of what is holding you back from unconditional love.

David Hawkins

Source of One's Power

Putting one's survival on something outside oneself therefore results in states of powerlessness, victimhood, and weakness by virtue of having projected the source of one's power outside of oneself.
