If you try to hang on to your life you will lose it. – Jesus of Nazareth

let god

We live selfish lives. And therefore are destined to suffer endlessly. To have eternal life, we must learn to collaborate with and be guided by Life. Life = God = The Universe = The Divine. There’s a divine plan for everything and everybody. We in our selfish little ways can never know what’s good for us let alone know what’s good for the entire world. So we must stop trying to hang-on to life, we must learn to let go and as they say ‘Let God’…

centering

To find our way, to know ourselves, to live with purpose and to be genuinely fulfilled we must be centered on ourselves. Not in a selfish, egoistic way, no.

All destinations come to us and whatever needs to be done, somehow gets done. Life flows. Life is good and all is well.

true listening

True listening happens when we operate from our deep, genuine center, from what we actually are. We can come in touch with that center through quietude. And thanks to this kind of listening and direct contact with the ‘other’ nothing but true relationships are built.

The primary wisdom is intuition. In that deep force, the last fact behind which analysis cannot go, all things find their origin. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
