The need to let go and expand

Feeling tense is a tricky thing; the more you try to control, the less you do.  The more you try to protect, the more you open yourself up to danger.  One must learn to  accept, no matter how  hard it is.

Genuineness

I dictate unto you, dear friends, that a genuine person is a difficult gem to locate. Many are still lost in their own conceited viewpoints; they suppose they are "right". A genuine person, therefore, is hard to find. Such a person is not tied down by the confines of an "agenda", such as a religion, gender rights, or racial rights. They merely accept all; where can such a person be found?

Depend not on others dear friends, seek out your connection to the Divine on your own

Don't look to others to be your savior dear friends, for they will only disappoint. For, o dear friends, are not others a reflection of your own inner image? Therefore, it is best to detach yourself from fleeting pleasures of the illusory material world, and seek the truth by freedom of desire. Know not that the clinging to others, youth, materialism, and all other fleeting passing images of the illusory material world that surrounds thee will only lead to pain and suffering? Trust only the deep aspects of self, and free yourself from the confines of your own views.

Times of uncertainty: Can they help you find new clarity?

In times as uncertain as these, it is common for many to question what will happen. I believe that such times can help one to appreciate what they do have, specifically the people in their lives who they care about. In other words, tough times bring people together. Therefore, I believe it is good to always try to find value in anything we can. I would love to hear what other people have to say about this.

Meditation and its Cures

Meditation cures mental woes; yes, you heard it correctly. Not only mental woes, but physical woes as well. Quieting the mind is such a necessary step in our ridiculously busy society.

Challenges can make one unstoppable

To face what seems to be insurmountable challenges, to feel as though your world fell apart, to face what seems to be certain doom, and come out of it stronger than ever; that is what perseverence is.

Only by letting go completely, only by losing oneself, does one find self....
