An undivided heart

I cannot demand that the world be peaceful when I myself am full of dread, or embark on a quest for love when I hate myself. Let me deserve what I ask for.

Union

Wisdom is a descent from the head’s either/or to the heart’s both/and. “If thine eye be single, thy whole body will be full of light.”

True religion

We are what we pay attention to. If I attend to the breath, I am that. Breath awareness transcends our differences. Rumi: “Bringing breath to life is the essence of every true religion.”

Non-dual

We are not bodies in space. We’re the space in which bodies appear.

Consciousness

We are all expressions of the same vast, unfeatured and invisible consciousness. This is all that really matters because, well, it matters absolutely. Everything else is an appearance—relative, transitory and thought about.
