Stop trying
to save humanity
and, instead, learn
to serve humanity.

It is the struggle to attain spiritual awakening
that makes us strong enough to actually receive it.

Even in darkness we see,
and we see we are not alone.

Stumble
and so see the sky.

Use everything:
Joy, fear, success, suffering.
A seeker doesn’t have the luxury
to waste their journey in pursuit
of easy, grand experiences.

Everything encountered
is encountered in the heart.

You have permission
to be rude
when protecting the vulnerable.

The answer is in front of you.
Find a way to see.

Where bliss begins

everything else ends.

Be unsatisfied
with secondhand ideas about God.

Read these words, but ignore them.
The silence will teach you.

Unedited memory.
Undistracted mind.
Unbound identity.
Unlimited awareness.

Discover a new path
through this magical, unknown day.

Let your story
dissolve in the light
and let your meditation
grow bright.

The encounters of this moment
fill the world.

The ego, drowning in bliss,
laughs with its last gasp.

Right action heals
in ways that even “success” cannot match.
