The world is a current of change. Everything is moving and eventually falls away. We cannot hold onto anything in this world. When the mind tries to hold on, going against the nature of things, there is suffering.

There are two types of spontaneity. On the surface, both are devoid of self, but one is unconsciously based on the urge to fulfill desire and the other is conscious without desire.

Everyone walks on the spiritual path; there is no other. This path is reciprocity. When we discover that, the journey of awakening begins.

Worldly happiness is never without the shadow called want. After a while, we begin to notice the presence of want and seek freedom from it. The possibility of true happiness begins.

Any and every time we engage in spiritual practice, it is a manifestation of God's grace. Consider this: what brings you to prayer, meditation or moments of gratitude? Only God.

Want is inherent in separateness. The thought "I need this or that to bring me happiness or security" affirms lack. Realize your own wholeness now. Know the kingdom of God is within you and is the source of your complete sufficiency. Then watch what is added unto you from your abundance consciousness. Watch.

When we are conflicted, our energy is dissipated by doubt. We can push a shopping cart forward that has a wheel out of alignment, but it takes more energy. When our heart, soul, mind, and action are aligned, abundant energy is released.
