Let your dream world reveal the larger dream of this life. Observe how the dream issues forth from your mind yet you exist beyond it. The end of the dream is just that. We existed before, and exist during, and after.

We can observe "instant karma" when the consequences of our actions return to us immediately. We yell at someone and they yell back, or we offer a kind word and one is returned to us. Kind thoughts and pure loving actions bring peace to us in the moment and plant the seeds of future happiness.

Spiritual detachment requires love, and an open, compassionate heart. Otherwise, it is indifference. True spiritual detachment is what the saints have called "caring but not caring."

Developing one-pointed attention is valuable on the meditation cushion and off. When the mind is calm, not flitting from one thought to the next, energy is conserved and vital force is available for the task at hand.

Worry, regret, and self-doubt cause the mind to run in circles, like a dog chasing its tail. The only result is fatigue. Faith and self-confidence enhance our energy and help us to achieve our worthy goals.

Self-confidence is developed by daily divine remembrance in Superconscious meditation, following through with right action, and nonattachment to the results of our efforts.
