All things work together for good. There are no exceptions except in the ego’s judgment. – A Course in Miracles

all is well

Despite appearances, all is well. Accepting and deeply realizing this truth is the path to tranquility.

My soul can find no staircase to heaven unless it be through earth’s loveliness. – Michelangelo

right here

Truth and beauty is waiting to be discovered exactly where we are and all around us. We can’t find happiness, solace and infinitude without being at peace with what already is. The pathway to what we truly need must be in recognizing beauty and goodness in all the things, events and people that surround us…

Meditation can be simple. Just sit. Do nothing. Be everything. – www.NamasteNow.com

just be

Just sit. Be comfortable and relax. Breathe normally.

Do nothing. Just be. If thoughts arise, realize they are not you. They’ll come and go. Allow that.

Be everything. All that’s happening, the sounds, sensations, thoughts, feelings, everything that’s happening is being perceived by you. None of it exists without you. Perceive everything, without comment. Be like a room that allows the furniture and stuff in it to just be. You are the room, peaceful and still…

Looking to get somewhere? When do you think you’ll get there? – www.NamasteNow.com

never=now+here

We’ll never get there. It’ll never get done. Such is life in Time and Space. It never gets done (and we never get there) because our thoughts about anything never stop running. However, such a realization can help us discover the Here and the Now. And we do so by ceasing to think except when needed for practical matters.

Whatever quality we re-cognize in the ‘other’ is one that we embody. – www.NamasteNow.com

re-cognize only goodness

This is not very well known, it might as well be a secret. Whatever we notice, judge or recognize in the ‘other’ person is what shows up or emerges within us, sooner or later. If we want to be healthy we should recognize good health in the other. If we notice or judge someone’s illness then we’re likely to have that same or similar condition emerge within us. Ditto for any quality, like beauty, kindness, anger etc… Whatever we notice in the other is a quality that we already possess or will soon embody. Our thoughts are supremely creative and we must employ great care when deploying them!

The wise man is a noble soul who is friendly in the midst of his enemies, tranquil among the turbulent, and generous among the grasping. – Buddhism in the Urantia Book

true nobility

The wise and noble being is gentle and at peace with self. Such a person is naturally giving to those who grasp for that which they think they need. In truth no one needs anything, we are already complete, but alas, such is not the case for our ego driven minds… True nobility is discovering and then moving from our quiet center. This center is not of the mind.

You can observe a lot by just watching. – Yogi Berra

just sit

Just sit and observe. What’s being observed? And by who? Experience the answer in your being, don’t use the intellect.
