You can only listen to life's intelligence from silence, which is openness. You cannot listen from a divided mind.

In awakening, mind comes down off its pedestal and bows to the deep heart. It comes into service of that which is open and awake.

The fear of letting go is built on the illusion that we are in control. But when we surrender, something unexpected happens—there is no fall, no catastrophe. Instead, there is space. A vast, silent presence that has always been here.

You keep trying to fix yourself, but you are not a problem. You are a wave of being arising in the ocean of awareness. Let yourself be seen.

The still point is always here, waiting to be known—not through effort or understanding, but through a falling inward, a quiet surrender. It is not something the mind can grasp. It reveals itself when all seeking is let go. In this silence, all division dissolves, and what

Real peace is not an escape from life. It is the unshakable presence at the heart of life.

You won’t find your true nature by effort or discipline alone. It reveals itself when the seeking quiets—even briefly—and what’s always been here is simply noticed.

No amount of money, knowledge, or spiritual attainment will bring you the wholeness you seek. Love, power, and peace are not found in the world. They arise from knowing who you truly are.

This surrender can’t be done with the same mind that created the reactivity in the first place. You can get closer to surrender only by being willing for everything to come home to rest in you. It’s an act of love . . . an act of kindness, of tenderness.

Listen from silence. Be so silent within no image of self is projected onto life’s canvas. Silence requires a falling into the unknown vista of openness. This is anathema to the self that takes center stage on the imagined podium of life.

The fear of letting go is built on the illusion that we are in control. But when we surrender, something unexpected happens—there is no fall, no catastrophe. Instead, there is space. A vast, silent presence that has always been here.

Awareness is not a state. It does not come and go. It is the space in which all states come and go.

When the ground falls away and nothing makes sense, don’t rush to fill the void. The void is sacred. It reveals what cannot be lost.

Ultimately, it is the separation from the essential nature of life as wholeness that is the root cause of all suffering. When we lose our connection with the source of Creation, we forget we are all one and we become divided from all of life, from each other and from ourselves.

Surrender is not passive. It is the active willingness to stop resisting life. It is the courage to soften in the presence of discomfort. And in this softening, we discover that we were never meant to hold it all together on our own.

Don’t wait for things to calm down to find presence. Let presence be the calm in the middle of the storm.

The only thing that is important is the deepest desire to find what is more true than anything your mind can describe, or anything your spiritual ego can achieve, or anything that upholds your position that "this shouldn't be happening" or "this should be happening.

There is no need to silence thought, only to wake up from the dream of identification.

The mind wants to accumulate knowledge, as if knowledge is proof of our progress and status and worthiness. But I tell you, do not worship words. The treasure is in the unknown, in that which is beyond understanding.

You are not a separate self. You are the singularity through which the infinite plays at knowing itself.
