Letting go of the need to control... is surrender.
Letting go of the hurt... is forgiveness.
Letting go of the resistance... is acceptance.
Letting go of the possession... is love.
To let go again requires Grace.
Let us begin this New Year by seeking Grace to let go."
Happy New Year 2010

Of all the battles ever fought by man, the battle against himself has been the most arduous.
The mind with its contents - fear, jealousy, guilt, boredom, etc is divisive in nature.
It is divided as the good and the bad; the sacred and the profane and is trying to evade the other.... That's the struggle all about.
The awakened realizes that it is not his / her mind but the collective ancient mind flowing through and hence is aware of the futility of change.
This insight unfurls an entirely new experience of living and being.
He or she no longer struggles but rather has befriended the mind.
Awakening is not a destination, it is a journey.
Cessation of personal suffering is a milestone on this ongoing journey in consciousness.
The rest unfolds, growth continues to happen.
The energy available manifests as attention to the other, love in relationships, as efficiency and creativity in work.
You in short move from existence to living
