Thank You!

The master does not interfere.
He perfects the whole universe in his heart.
He is not interested in wealth and glory, sees no advantage to a long life, is not excited with success, is not discouraged by failure or troubled by the goods and evils of the world.
He knows that all beings are the rings of a same chain and that life and death are only one body.

Just let things be in their own way and there will be neither coming nor going. Obey the nature of things (your own nature), and you will walk freely and undisturbed.

Spiritual Wisdom


The awakening of knowing, of self-realization leads to a renunciation, not of the world, but of attachment to it. In this awakening you do not have to give up anything - What is useless and superfluous drops on its own like the dry leaves from a tree.

Spiritual Wisdom


Peace is not a momentary lack of restlessness in our mind. It is not a transitory state. It is our true nature, has always been. It can never leave us. It is our noise that covers it up. It is only our Ego dreaming he loses it and playing dramatically to look for it.

Hey you, seeking the path that leads to the secret, go back, because it is in you that the whole secret lies.

Spiritual Wisdom

You are full if you are in tune with the universe. If you are not in tune with the universe, then your are empty. And out of that emptiness comes greed - greed is to fill it, with money, houses, furniture, with friends, lovers, with anything.

If you cannot find the truth where you are,
where do you hope to find it?

On Meditation

Meditation is not a way to enlightenment, Nor is it a method of achieving anything at all. It is peace itself. It is the actualization of wisdom, the ultimate truth of the oneness of all things.

Whatever activity you do, do it slowly, with the attention it deserves. Do not rush to end it. Be relaxed in everything and bring your full attention to it.

Words of Wisdom

Be yourself. You are unique.
No comparison is possible.
Each of us develops into a unique individual
who enters into unique transactions
with the world as it exists for him.

Words of Wisdom

All of us can work for peace.
We can work right where we are,
right within ourselves,
because the more peace we have within our own lives,
the more we can reflect into the outer situation.

On Meditation

On my way to meditation, I travel, I dance, I sing, I live and I love the world. But today, whenever I can, I appreciate more to be alone to drink the inner silence, it is so fulfilling and so sweet.

Looking for Lasting Happiness?

Start Searching Inside Yourself

Lasting happiness is not out of reach. In fact, it's right where most people don't want to look -- inside.

The fact that you will only find lasting happiness by looking inside yourself explains why most people can’t find it. Most people spend their lives looking outside of the self for happiness, rather than starting the search inside. This truth is at the heart of the teachings of Eckhart Tolle, Neale Donald Walsch, Tony Robbins and many others.

What Stops a Person from Looking Inside

The most obvious block to finding happiness is whatever it is that stops you from looking inside yourself. People don’t want to turn and face what is hunting them, not even if it is happiness itself. It is easier to run away from emotions by watching TV, being endlessly busy, self-medicating with drugs and alcohol, or sleeping. Even pretending to be happy is a way of avoiding finding out what is going on under the surface.

Meditation and Everyday Life

Meditation is a wonderful path to stillness, and it, too, can be a way of avoiding feeling emotion. In fact, much of meditation aims at teaching the individual how to put the mind and emotions into a state of emptiness. True, it is a great way to clear negative emotions and access peace, joy and sweet liberation, as Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, author of Getting in the Gap and many other books, demonstrates. And yet, the challenge is always to come back to everyday experience and maintain that peace or happiness. Awareness will reveal a dependency if the first thought when faced with a challenging experience is “If only I could meditate right now.”

Staying Inside the Emotion

It is not the meditating that gets you where you need to go, but its exact opposite -- staying inside the negative emotion long enough for it to lose its power over you. This can take a minute, or even less, if you have learned that negative emotion is just energy which will dissipate completely if you let it come and go, and don’t act on it, don’t feed it. Eckhart Tolle speaks of this eloquently in A New Earth - Awakening to your Life's Purpose.

Memories and Emotions

Strong emotions are usually associated with specific memories. The body holds onto these memories. During a Journey process the person is guided to empty out the emotions in the context of that memory. The emptying out can lead to a watershed moment of release. Healing starts from the instant the body reaches forgiveness for whatever caused the pain. This does not mean that the behavior that caused the pain is condoned or that it is considered in any way acceptable. Rather, the person feeling the pain is freed from the associative link, through the act of forgiveness.

Baby Steps

If you are afraid to face what is inside of you because it causes you fear, then you also cut yourself off from access to the happiness and joy that is inside of you. Like a baby learning to walk, the first steps are the hardest. Trusting that this is the way to go is essentially a choice. It is a choice to trust that people like Tolle and Walsch are telling the truth – that lasting happiness is available to you if you are willing to look for it inside yourself.
