spiritual-life

The One that experiences itself as your body-mind is the same One that experiences itself in every other body-mind, form, or appearance that exists.

You aren__ actually a someone, a person, who is conscious. You are the awake space of awareness itself, within which all the __hought up_ entities in your world appear. Out of all these imagined entities, you have simply made the mistake of thinking that one of them is you.

Just knowing that there is no gate to pass through doesn__ mean that we are at the end of the search, not if we are still standing outside that gateless gate.

Looking forward_ to what you think enlightenment might be at some grand point in the future keeps you from seeing the truth of its presence right now.

Anything that appears and disappears cannot actually be you because it is being observed by you. By removing the attention from these things and noticing what remains, you are left only with what is permanent _ the truth of who you are.

All paths are valid, but in the end you will find that the realization of the ultimate truth is a pathless path.

At the moment of enlightenment, everything is dropped__ody, mind, all states, all things__verything. At that moment, there is no separate entity that can become enlightened, because there is no I that can experience it.

Nothing can be the total truth in the worlds of manifestation and the more solid your concepts, the more likely they are going to sink you, sooner or later.

My only journey is one within my self...My only path is one through my soul.

Blessed are you who forgive.You will forever be happy.

Even if things do not work out as you thought they should for you, they do - in their own way, as they were meant to.

Seeing Oneam undone!Enemy norlo! friend-sans One-is none.That! is "am"One-o-One!

When we infuse our actions with a focus on God and on the many blessings we receive in even the most mundane moments of our lives, we create sacred rituals that bring a sense of holiness, a sense of wholeness, to what we do and who we are. Like the Eucharistic feast that nourishes our heart and soul, every meal we eat with mindfulness[,] each bite we take with gratitude, has the power to transform us inside and out, for all time.

By the time we were knit in our mothers' wombs, our lives were like open books before Him--every sentence read, every paragraph indented, every chapter titled, every page numbered. He knew it all in advance--all the sin, all the selfishness, every weakness. Yet He chose to love us--lavishly.

Prayerful life, blessed life.

Heavenly Father, your ears are ever open to our prayers.Save us now!

Prayer is an act of worship to God.

Every shed tears is a prayer.
