This decision is at an extremely high level of consciousness – way beyond the entry levels of enlightenment.





May the bliss be with you.

Great spiritual teachers have said that the Real Truth lies behind a veil of illusion.

The sages have said that everything is perfect the way it is. That’s the Real Truth. All is immensely beautiful. All radiates its’ inner splendor.

You might say “Yeah, but I just spent an hour on the freeway. What can I do about it?”

You can use your imagination. Relax, soften your focus and put your attention on the entire space as best you can. Imagine that everything is perfect the way it is.

You can do this for a minute. Or you can do it every waking moment.

When you’re just starting this exercise, please don’t do it while you’re driving. After some practice, you can also do it while you drive.

This practice produces an instant change in the way you see Life. It feels amazingly good. You can do this exercise frequently throughout the day.

Try it. You’ll love it! It can bring you to bliss, peace, and possibly beyond.

The amazing artwork is by Daniel B. Holeman.

Are you stuck in duality? (Duality is the old I’m good, they’re bad game.)

Or are you approaching Oneness? If we’re worried about it, we’re still in duality.

The other half is not having accomplished the goal.

Achieving a goal feels good temporarily. It raises our self-confidence and self-esteem temporarily.

Whether we achieve a goal or fail by giving up, we wind up with a new goal / problem.

The Essential Truth is that everything is perfect the way it is.

“I just had to let it go.”
– John Lennon in Watching the Wheels
