I have gone through enormous suffering and I still suffer.

You, too, have your suffering to contend with. But resist the temptation to argue.

Argument is a tool of mechanical forces. Lose and you win.

Breathing consciously is an act of self-mercy. It heals the wounded soul.

Let it be.

Suffering ceases when you rise above the opposites.

The opposites control this planet. When you begin to be for one side or another, you are embracing energy loss and you can feel it as a tightening of the body.

Jesus continually reminded his disciples that his kingdom was not here.

He rose from the dead; that is, he rose from the power of the opposites.

We, too, can rise from life lived on the mechanical level.

In that moment we are free of sin and death. We will fall again and again and yet we still have the chance of rising above the mind.

Let it be.
