You can be absolutely certain about something and be dead wrong. Certainty has nothing to do with it.

We still live in an age where the "inner" and "outer" are assumed to be entirely distinct domains.

Life comes at you (or appears to). Are you reacting or creating? The former stems from fear the latter from knowledge.

The future will be like the present.

If you aren't trying to get somewhere other than you are already, peace and joy arise as the fundamental constituents of the moment.

It's a fundamental delusion that the more you do, the more you be. In fact power is derivable from being, not doing.

You are source, cause, and creator of your life. And, fundamentally, you are source of your experience of the "suchness" of life -- you are source of the perception, your perception, of the "suchness" of life. You cannot be separated from Source. Source cannot be separated from you.

You take a stand in life. This is the joy of living.

We do not say that life is meaningless -- we say it is up to you to declare a context, a space ' in which to take your actions so that your actions are meaningful. Significance is the byproduct of context.

Basically, this business of getting to the next thing, the the next thing, the next thing, what's the next thing....simply doesn't work. It tires you out and leaves you unfulfilled. For, it isn't the next thing that's going to do it for you. What then?
(Instead, come from fulfillment and see what happens).

He who has not learned the art of appreciation has become stale and he reasons that life has lost it's flavor, wherein the truth is that he cannot any longer taste the sweetness of life -- his sense of taste long dulled due to lack of use.

What is the meaning of life? Know your deepest Self -- everything then has found its appropriate place.

It is possible to live your life in such a way that problems disappear and joy be your eternal companion.

We can't go back. The present is listening for your stand.

It's not how much you have, but how much you can appreciate.

Don't fight fire with fire. Don't fight fire at all. Turn on the hose.

Don't fight the darkness (don't get a PhD in darkness, don't create theories about it, don't study it, don't spread rumors about). Just flip the light switch to 'on' position.

Existence is what you seek.

Meaning is deriveable from context. Without context, there is no meaning. (You create that context from a stand that you take. ) (There is no meaning, just the possibility thereof.) (Context can be seen as a result of a stand that you take in life, no longer something imposed upon you, not something that is just there.)

Life is (ultimately) about (your) contribution.

Life is just for fun.

What is the art of appreciation? When you see something you like, celebrate!

I'm hallucinating that most people care about having a lot of money. But without the art of appreciation, it's just dirty paper (Maybe that next thing you buy will be the "one"???). (And of course I understand that appreciation is only possible in a universe of contrast.) It's not really about the money, its about the creating.

Then "they" say what about hunger and thirst? And I say you can always choose your response to an arisen circumstance (I say 'arisen' because circumstances have a tendency to arise and then to fall -- that is their tendency but if you give them your focus you keep them in place). Circumstances do not determine your response to them. (Everything would simply rise and fall like ocean waves, if it were not for focusing).

Nothing in life, in this existence, is meant to endure. All passes away, making way for birth (except the peace of The Ultimate Reality and what is this peace of The Ultimate Reality? That is for you to know, through an experience, not a concept -- concepts have a way of being mistaken for the real thing.)

It’s not really what you’re doing, but the "space" in which you are doing what you are doing. (You cannot really take enough action to get to where you really want to BE.)

We aren't meant to go back. We're driven on, forward, forward.

For me what matters is your means of travel. The destination and means are one, although they appear as two.

We learn by trial and error. Life is process. We learn by the living of our life.
