greatest challenge

greatest challenge of being human is the courage to allow what wants to emerge - and the strength to release what wants to fly away from your hands -

remain inside the knowing

Sometimes you happen to be with a group of humans whose energy is very low and who’re great at complaining and worrying- out of good intention you want to be of service to them so you too start complaining and blaming someone. you think that by worrying with them you are being friendly and kind. The most original way to help this world is not by participating in worry or fear. it is actually by knowing who you are on the deepest level and then to remain inside the knowing.

deeply present

as I was growing up in the farm, I still remember some beings who looked at the clouds floating in the sky and could tell if it was going to rain or not. there were also few people who could understand the language of animals and birds. It was not because they had a special gift, It was because they were very intimate with nature. It was because they were very alive and deeply present.

open your eyes

You don’t have to be on a long cruise or a caravan. You don’t have to go anywhere – just open your eyes - right here, in front of you or under your feet a bruised blade of grass trembles with the mystery of existence. Her love is total and no part of her hides from the world. She contains the world inside her stillness. She shares the trauma of the world - if you want to know how deeply we are all connected, look in the eye of a tiger or a dog or in the eye of another human being – you can see yourself there.

whatever you fight

You might have noticed how misery gravitates to misery – it is not by eliminating the ego that you can experience freedom. It is by transcending it, by simply noticing it is there ---- whatever you fight against, will strengthen itself and come back.

you are the universe

There is a relationship that is complete by itself, like an oak tree, which is established in its own consuming magnificence - where no one is superior or inferior, no one is smaller or greater – no one is more intelligent – there is no cause and effect, there is no victim or victor, there is no birth or death ---- and this alone is an authentic relationship. it is a relationship with the universe, a relationship with your own heart – you are the universe.

copper into gold.

to stand before yourself without illusion – to drop whatever prevents you from soaring towards your invisible strength - to hold the universe inside the depth of your tenderness – this is the courage that can turn copper into gold.
