we don't have the strength of body, mind or character to get it right

yet

a sense of hovering : in suspense

thinking mind: clever servant, insufferable master

progress is assured once you learn to give energy the attention you usually reserve for the contents of your mind

I did not enter into silence. Silence captured me.

anything that disrupts routine is good
even the routine of practice

night time walk
stalking spirit with spirit

ego puffs itself up & belittles the world
spirit shrinks the self & enlarges the world

build resilience by testing the principles – breaking the rules

Indifferent like the moon in a thunderstorm.

the evenhanded support the underdog and see the bigger picture

a good teacher inspires you to embrace the pain of practice

truth is felt rather than thought

spirit is the switch turning off headmind & turning on bodymind

The extraordinary patience of things!

turning is revolutionary
it upsets the status quo

the fascism of self
